Influences: Children's Miscellany by Matthew Morgan (borrowed from a Los Angeles public library as a child in the third grade, was my white whale for many years and now I finally remember)

My favorites: Miscellaneous/Miscellany (word category)

I can't take more than one drink, especially if that one drink is an 8 oz glass of stout. Do you ever feel like you will only have one chance at love?

Was talked down to and accused of theft and lying by a roommate. I've never been talked to like that before. I spent the night at my friend's house that day. Confusion and sadness.

Put on candy banana yellow nail polish (called "I just can't cope-acabana") and went to a Christmas potluck.

Did yoga moves for my aching wrists on the floor of my workplace at 7 in the morning. I may have carpal tunnel because I type too much.

My mom asked me for life advice. What an odd feeling.

Met up with an old friend from high school who recently worked as a salmon researcher for the Fish and Wildlife department in a rural part of the state. She invited me to spend time with her in the area in the future. Said it was an ugly town and that I'd like it.
"Why do you think I'd like an ugly town?" I ask.
"You seem like the type of person to appreciate the ugly things in life." She says.

Rode a water taxi for the first time.

I quit weed. I'm not gonna be puritanical about it, but after having a terrible weed-fueled January I've come to the conclusion that I just have too much of an addictive personality.

Went on a long walk with a friend in the pummeling rain. She told me a story about the time she got arrested. We talked a little bit about our experiences with dating apps. She said she wasn't ready for a relationship but would like to see someone casually. "Maybe you can see me casually. I need someone to practice the bare minimum of intimacy on, cause sometimes I feel like I really don't know," I thought to myself, completely stone-faced. I'll most likely continue to keep this thought to myself.

Went to the dentist for the first time in years. I'm happy to report I don't have any cavities.

Some friends convinced me to go to a comedy show where a bunch of drag queens played Dungeons and Dragons. I'm happy to report that I laughed a few times.

Went to an old high school friend's birthday party. Passed by the old apartment complex I used to live in as a high schooler on the way to the escape room she'd booked. Felt kinda happy-sad. I'm much more interesting and full of ideas now, but a lot less cute and productive. That's life. Ate some linguini.

Starting to think that I've gotten a lot wittier after upping my anxiety meds. Made five people laugh today.

"Dull Knives" would be a great name for an irreverent cooking show, I think.
