How I did it
How to make friends my age that are not obsessed with marriage and giving birth
It took me
2 years
It made me
happy

How I did it: totally random, met someone at work who fit the criteria. I guess the best bet is to keep meeting people, then you have a larger pool to choose from. I happened to be job searching. I think it's easier if you live in a less traditional place, but there are still pockets of people who think untraditionally, everywhere. Try joining roller derby or a recycling/earth friendly type group or movement. Read how I did it…

Untitled 2 years ago

even though i really couldn’t afford it, i sent my best friend a lovely gift from his wedding registry today. i couldn’t attend the wedding (it was in india) so i thought it was the least i could do to show my support. i miss him. i love his bride and i love them even more together. so i splurged.

13. Lou Reed - Perfect Day 2 years ago

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It’s such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.

Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow,
You’re going to reap just what you sow…
