3.1 Frie[nd]s, Comparatively Speaking
![3.1 Frie[nd]s, Comparatively Speaking](https://itsrainingem.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/french-fries.jpg?w=1024)
Generally, I find that one of the best qualities a person can have is the ability to be self-aware. Good personal hygiene is up there, too, don’t get me wrong. And untouchable taste in music. And also being well-coiffed. But yes, being self-aware is hell-and-away one of the most important qualities to have. I’ve been…

2.5 A Mile a Minute: How Single is TOO Single? Asking For a Friend
Look, it’s no secret to anyone. I’m single. Never had a boyfriend.

1.15 The Monster Mash? Seriously, Just Do Better.
Unpopular opinion: The Monster Mash is the cheesiest song ever. While “my ears are bleeding” has a lovely spooky vibe to it, you probably don’t actually want your ears to bleed on Halloween, but I assure you that they will if you listen to The Monster Mash. It sucks, and it’s about time we all…

1.14 A Mile A Minute: Some Disorganized, Rapid-Fire Thoughts After a Week Here In John Denver-ville
Will I ever stop referencing John Denver when talking about my new apartment and town? What’s the diagnosis? Is it chronic? Is it contagious? Just mildly annoying? The apartment is great, but moving the heavy fold-out couch up the staircase last weekend was traumatic, to say the least. You know that Friends episode where Ross…

1.13 Sure, Let Me Just Call My Mom First.
Because I am going to assume that all of you are just hanging on to every single word that I post on here, I’m going to also assume that you may be wondering why I haven’t been posting with as much vim and vigor as I was when I first started up this blog. If…
