Midyear Resolutions, 2012

• Accept that three cups of coffee does not make a meal (even if it's with cream).
• Watch new things on Netflix instead of the same episodes of Downton Abbey and Parks & Rec over and over (no, Dawson's Creek doesn't count when you watched it years ago).
• Don't take off necklaces and leave them in hidden places around the apartment instead of on the necklace tree where they belong (though it's fun when finding one in a drawer or tucked in the back of the medicine cabinet to yell out "JEWELRY SURPRISE!")
• Stop inflicting secondhand embarrassment on people with stupid single lady anecdotes (e.g. JEWELRY SURPRISE). This especially includes awful work stories (no one cares) and accolades of how much you love your cat (no one really cares, please stop, dear god).
• Realize that going up to people in bars and drunkenly introducing yourself just because you've "seen them around the neighborhood" is not the way to make friends/boyfriends/acquaintances (despite the fact that you are a very charming).
• Drink more water, put on sunscreen, go to bed earlier (I mean, duh, don't be dumb, take care of yourself).

I don't mind hearing about Harold, honest.

I think going up to people and starting to talk is actually a great way to make friends

[Allison]

No, stories about cats and single lady adventures are HILARIOUS. Don't ever stop (until you no longer have a funny cat and funny single lady stories).

You should watch Veep, but it's not on Netflix so that isn't very helpful to tell you.

I should really borrow that one about Netflix. I have watched all of 30 Rock at least 10 times over by now. It's just familiar and comforting and doesn't require me to really pay attention.
