feel good OKC messages...

Hi Genevere

I read your profile. Questions etc. 
There is a low likelihood that we will ever meet (I'm in an open relationship). I'm not going to tell you how good you look or how smart you are because I've never met you. 

But you write beautifully. 

My name is Josh and I try to write. I'm jealous when I see a writing style I wish I could commandeer for myself.

Wow. You can write one hell of a good profile. Well done. If that law thing doesn't work out, I'm sure you could start a second career crafting OKCupid profiles for the uninspired and inarticulate. 

So, composing screeds....is this something you do professionally or just as a hobby? What typically inspires your ire?

hello geneverve,

well for someone who's supposedly shy, you do a pretty good job of writing a charming profile. 

So what brought you to haiti? must have been a great experience.

I absolutely love your writing style. You should be pumping out books instead of staring at the wall of another building ;-)

So this is probably one of the strangest messages I've sent but reading through your profile (yes all of it) I felt so compelled to reach out to you that it would've bothered me not to. You say you're awkward but your writing conveys such a confident, intelligent, honest and funny person that perhaps you are being a bit overly critical of yourself. I went through a pretty bad breakup myself last year. I wouldn't say I'm at the point where I couldn't comtemplate love ever again but it's definitely changed the way I look at things and trust people. I don't think online dating is a place where you fall in love anyway. I look at it more as a thing you do until life happens and you meet someone you really click with. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but you seem so interesting to me that I wanted to write to you. I guess what I'm getting to is asking you out on a friend date if you're up for it. Don't worry I'm not looking for someone to commiserate with and share stories of exes. You just seem like you would be a fun person to hang out with and share some laughs despite your overwhelmingly extreme awkwardness. If you're interested in potentially meeting with no real expectations of anything, let me know.

even my normal internet sites are showing signs of the nearness of the bar exam...

What a bummer. Every Sunday night my ritual is to read the new postsecrets and check the best of the week's texts from last night (I know, hearing that these are my rituals provides great insight into why and how I manage to accomplish so little in my time). Anyways, let's talk about the good, bad and the ugly:

Postsecret, expressing a much more dark (and sadly, much more true on a deeper level) sentiment:

Looking for the strength to do a massive amount of memorizing in the next 20 days... but I don't think there is a positive affirmation out there that can offset the dread that's creeping in. :/
