12 months and 156 posts later, I’m pretty much sold on the idea.
I’m still adjusting to conversations that go:
- Me: So I met this guy recently.
- Most people: I know. I read about it. And I don’t think you should have let him get away with Facebooking you to get your number.
- Me: Right.
But I can’t say it hasn’t all been worth it. I like to think we’ve all learned some undeniably significant things about me, some of my family, my friends who let me use their real names, and the way the world often does but really should work.
Today – a look back at the Top 10 lessons learned:
- Despite popular belief – there are actually five excellent places you can meet someone in Manhattan. Here. Are. Your. Current. Options.
- West African dancing is an excellent way to relieve stress
- Anything you need to know about a potential love interest can be determined by the way they played The Oregon Trail
- These days it’s not so easy to define a slut
- Just because you don’t think you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you’re not
- I am officially out of college, way out
- The manner in which girls use phones to communicate is completely opposite that of guys.
- There are actually several reasons girls go for assholes, but none of them are legitimate
- Whitney Houston is the Bob Dylan of our generation
- And, it’s not your fault you always fall for the wrong guys. It’s your birth control.
I think we’re making excellent progress. And while Socratese had a point about real knowledge coming when we can admit we know nothing at all, I prefer the philosophy of one phenomenal set of Swedes:
Life IS demanding without understanding…
I’ll keep going until we figure it all out.
Thank you for reading. Keep the comments coming.
