How I did it
How to get over an unrequited love
It took me
5 years
It made me

How I did it: I talked before about "stalking" this person on various social networking sites. So, imagine my surprise when he found me, and requested to add me on one of these sites. I accepted his request, but then immediately regretted my decision. Why move backwards, you know? I have no interest in keeping in touch with him, it seems.

go to museums in Chicago
DuSable Museum and Museum of Science of Industry 3 months ago

Sad to say that it took nearly a year of living here before I got around to going to any museums.

1. DuSable Museum of African American Culture – I went here when my Dad and step-mom came to visit back in June. The museum is small-ish, but I really enjoyed the exhibits. I especially liked “Blacks in the Military” which showcased the contributions of African-Americans in every major American war. It was quite interesting.

2. Museum of Science and Industry – A friend and I went to the Museum of Science and Industry, and I was kind of underwhelmed by the exhibits I got to see. Still, I want to go back to check out the Harry Potter and Smart House exhibits.

Be a better friend
I have trouble with the accepting people as they are bit. 4 months ago

I get annoyed when certain friends of mine seem to be obsessed with achieving coupledom.

I’m very happily single, and although I think it would do good for some of my friends to single, I try to keep that particular thought to myself.

I’m kinda on the fence about her in general. But I freakin’ live in Chicago, so why not?
