Hmm. I'm much too young and inexperienced to lead such thoughtful lives as you all, but I'll share a few of my happenings this week. Could I get a coffee first? Like a sane person on a Wednesday morning?

I got into an argument on the Internet a couple days ago. It really is a losing battle - I have no doubt now that many people don't interact with the real world. The topic brought up was how the newest generation of feminism is more harmful than this whole Roosh V debacle. Which is bat shit insane to me, I don't think I've even met a woman who wants to legalize any kind of violence against men. In the end, the conversation devolved into insulting me instead of my arguments, so I count it as a win.

Interestingly, they assumed I was a man arguing for feminism. I'm not sure if that's a step in the right direction.

On another note, I have been realizing how hard it is to have empathy for people who don't have the same sense of self as I do. I am currently watching one of my friends self-destruct for a guy she slept with for a while. It just boggles my mind that she can throw herself at his feet constantly. Two months of every single conversation being about him and I'm ready to throw in the towel. Perhaps I'm missing out on not being able to have that level of devotion to anyone... But seriously?! I think I'll pass.

But maybe I'm not as practical as I think, because I'd really like a date with Johnny Gaudreau. Always gotta have dreams.
