Unpleasant:
hearing from the guy I was hooking up with about a month ago about the new girl he’s hooking up with. I didn’t even like him that much, but I’m still bitter. I don’t want to hear about that, even though we’re “friends” now (I’m sure you can guess how I feel about that).

Me: Ew. Why?
Brother: Probably all the flossing.
Me: What do you mean, "all the flossing?" How much do you floss?

My family is gone

does it seem like every guy I know has a strong aversion to dark/black nail polish?
Yo,
I’m back.
Austin was great. I think I wanna move there if I am not in some kind of an awesome job/relationship (or both) in about 4 years.
In the meantime, today I have:
Got drunk with a 50 year old awesome woman, Denise, at the airport bar. She is a single mom and dates a Harley rider, and insisted I have to go to Mardi Gras in STL asap.
