Truth: Most of my problems, particularly problems with my social skills, also involve being selfish and self-centered. People think of me otherwise, but I think I'm just overcompensating.

Oh, and lazy.

LOL. We should meet for a drink sometime! I promise I'm too busy with life to make a pass at you ;-)

I'm all about i!
Also, I'll totally nellie around with my hands in the air scared of the passing.

I'm with you on the laziness. I'd be a way happier, better person if I could just get some shit done, son. But, no, that is hard work and I am the tired.

I'm trying to focus my energies and watch more tv. Trying. To watch tv.

Are you watching "educational" TV? How to do your own face lift? Cook a mean saag paneer? Refinish your mailbox?

I'm trying to decide what to do with my life. I really just want to travel around and have meaningful conversations with people. And write stories. Why can't I do that?

Those things don't make money - in fact arguably all but the last part cost money to do. Well shit...sadly I'm wrong; I get paid to travel and talk to people, then write about it - you could go to law school (but often the cost isn't justified by the salary).

More seriously they do say you should combine your interests with a well-paying job, but I add in one you won't hate.

No I'm watching south park, bbc nature shows, old movies, comedy-politics...I need some out-the-house hobbies. Sadly weightlifting is not a social thing for the most part - running is. Crossfit is.

I fucking love palak paneer. Never thought about making it.

Once upon a time, my mother's husband offered to pay my way through law school. I got some LSAT prep books, started looking up schools. When I talked to him about it again, he claimed he hadn't said anything like that. Aaaand my zeal for law school evaporated. Fuck if I'm paying to be surrounded by a bunch of law students for three years. UGH.

I could never figure out how to do the social running thing. People's schedules/abilities never lined up. I suppose the running group I was a part of was social. But I never made "friends" there.

We had paneer jalfrezi tonight. And malai kofta, which is my absolute favourite.

These days almost anything is called "self-centered" and "selfish" that doesn't deal with the problems of other people.

That's fair, somewhere between clergy and psychopaths is the best range of behavior.
