New Year’s Eve was uneventful: went out to dinner with my parents and then hung out at my apartment with my roommate and his girlfriend for the rest of the night. I was a bit worried that being the third wheel while celebrating the New Year would suck, but it wound up being very fun. We all got baked, watched the Big Lebowski and saw the fireworks from my apartment’s balcony. Obviously, had no one to kiss at midnight, so instead I took a huge rip from my new bong and wound up passing out shortly after.

Also been experimenting with a new strength cycle at the gym that incorporates lower weight with more reps. On Monday I squatted 205 for 20 reps (body weight still 165) and it felt pretty good! I’m going to see if that gets my one rep max up in a few months.

Oh! And while having coffee with my mom last Saturday, I saw someone at the cafe who I met through Hinge who ghosted me hard. She saw me and I looked her right in the eyes, gave a smile and a subtle nod. Not gonna lie, seeing the color drain from her face was quite satisfying. If I wasn’t with my mom I probably would have told her I was glad she wasn’t abducted by aliens.
