jeez louise! so… i tried the whole make new friends on reddit and wow, i was NOT expecting what happened next. i was fully expecting maybe one or two replies. TOPS. and i expected 100% to be garbage\/spam. but noooo… i got 15 replies within the first like 6 hours. holy crap! i cannot manage 15 conversations at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all is not lost though, there are 2 people who replied that i actually think i might enjoy talking to. one of which is a veteran redditor, nearly as seasoned as me, so they understand the lore. which is fucking amazing. no one else gets it when i ask what a potato is, or gag at the mention of a jolly rancher. they do. so that’s kind of fun. haven’t chatted too much yet, so we’ll see how it goes. other than reddit memes i’m not sure we have that much in common though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the other person seems to be a little bit more like minded. definitely when it comes to music, cars, pets, work and sense of humor. had a good long chat tonight. felt good. i’m happy with this. i hope it continues. a small part of me worries it’s fake. you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i have a bunch of others completely unread still, i am going to have to sort through that tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and for once, i think i am actually tired at a semi reasonable hour? wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
