A cause for celebration:
Celebrated my 6th month monthaversary with the BF. At one point in my life [in otherwords, my last relationship] I thought that having a date didn’t really matter, but as it turns out, I really love the feeling of having something like a relationship milestone to look forward to. Plus, it’s fun to celebrate my relationship, and it’s an excuse to eat really well at least once a month. 
Talking to me won’t make you feel better
Larry wrote the other day about the different types of responses that he receives from friends when he tries to talk about his problems. I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve come to this conclusion:
I’m a really bad at consoling people. Not because I don’t listen, and not always because I don’t care…
Because of my pessimistic nature, even when I do care and want to help, I am horrible at looking at the “bright side” of things — which is what people usually need when they’re in duress in the first place.
However, if you’re looking for someone to agree with you that so-and-so’s an asshole and offer to beat that person up for you, I’m your gal.
As an extra bonus, I’ll throw in a “he’s a stupid dum dum head!” for free.
How do you make people feel better when they’re down?
