It's the month of MAN-UARY!

My New Year's resolution this year is to find a man. But not just any man. I'm looking for a man that respects me, (i.e. doesn't put me on hold all the time when HE calls me, or cuts me off all the time when I am speaking, or never humors me), isn't broke, enojoys good food (not McDonald's drive thru), has manners, engages in a healthy relationship with his mother, and the kicker . . . . is funny and silly enough to make me laugh, and more importantly, put a smile on my face when I think about him (even if he's in Miami, FL and I haven't seen in a week.)

In conclusion to my search, I will be trying to strike up a conversation with a man EVERY DAY throughout the month of January, which I will now refer to as MANUARY. (Because damnit, it will be my Manuary!)I'll post my methodology, findings, and if I'm lucky, results every night. This is basically a social experiment. It should be titled, "How one self-respecting woman punished herself in the name of humility and need for affection and connection," but in case someone I know reads this and immediately recognizes the pathetic nature of the post and calls me out, we'll label the official name as, "Manuary: A One-Month Social Experiment in Hunt and Gather." This little enterprise could completely backfire on me, or worst case scenario, the man-of-the-day will be my landlord (not an acceptable suitor by any means).

Stay tuned for the residuum.

hahahaha, oh so hilarious!! I think most of my interactions would take place on the train, which would make for UBER awkward convos. "so, crowded today, eh?" "yep..." *AWKWARD SILENCE* My days consist of *walk* *train* *work* *walk* *home* and then I see all the same people that I see everyday. Hmmm.
