List of people you meet

Ok so In My Thirties I have started Asking Strangers Their Names. It’s nice. I think I’m capable of doing it in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m-going-to-complain-to-your-manager. But you know that thing of when you introduce yourself to someone and your brain is just not recording the first time they say their name? And then you have to ask it again? What I’ve been doing is writing down new acquaintances’ names after I meet them so I’ll remember them in the future. It’s really nice to be able to say hi by name!!! Soon I’ll know Everyone’s name. And then no one will be able to stop me!!!

List of what men smell like in romance novels
•••
When I was reading like, a toxic amount of romantasy, and it was making me somewhat ill, I kept myself sane by keeping a list of the descriptions of how the men smelled. It’s interesting bc of masculinity — so many scents are off limits, which means you get a lot of similar elements, like cedar and pine and leather and mint. And then things start to get weird, and you’re getting stuff like “damp wood chips.” And whatever it means to smell male. Really interesting gender stuff going on. Basically if you pretend to be an anthropologist you can consume whatever Media you want. Pls don’t be mad at me for not citing my sources. Many (most?) of these are quotes but I’m too embarrassed to list the books they are from. Academically speaking, this is unacceptable

Keep an enemies list
•••
I know we like to be positive on here, and I obviously support that. But I’ve had a lot more anger the last few years (politically, morally), and I have never really taught myself how to make room for anger as an emotion (socialized as a woman, etc). But my list of enemies helps. Political enemies, men I saw on hinge, friends’ ex-boyfriends, René Descartes. You get it.
