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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
