so i’ve been on the website tumblr for a year now and have garnered some attention & respect, which i’m thankful for. but i also don’t want to be typecast as an internet personality or someone that just lives vicariously through the medium. to combat the issue, i put a call out for pen pals and have gotten a great number of responses! i’m very excited to be able to connect with people i am somewhat familiar with but still have that thin screen of anonymity between us. its nice to be able to get to know someone for more than just how they come across on the internet as well as have more control over which information to give out about yerself. people, including myself, get freaked out when a friend mentions something along the lines of, “hey, i read on yer facebook that (insert conversation topic here)”, but why? if we put out shit on the internet, we have to understand that its common among lots of people. i even started this blog in particular to be utilized as an outlet to track where i’ve traveled, and its evolved into a personal ramblings/thoughts/journal type of thing.
anyway, been going to bmore quite often. earlier this week me & h. made nachos, samosa quesadillas with mango-lime dressing, macaroni & cheeze, and chocolate chip cookies! it was awesome to give my omnivore friends some bomb-ass vegan food while showing them some simple dishes to make when they need to feed themselves (its a house full of cismen – and they came to me for help!).
so the rest of my day will be spent cooking some weird stuff, hanging out with my mom since she took the day off, and writing to more pen pals! if you are reading this and we’re unfamiliar with each other, i would love to be your pen pal, too! youvegotafriendinpa(at)gmail(dot)com! seriously!
