The disclaimer

I don't think my life is actually like any particular episode of Friends. In fact, I don't think any of the people in my life really line up perfectly to any of the characters in the series either. "my life is like a How I Met Your Mother episode" is probably more accurate, but it's a mouthful to say and the acronym (MLILAHIMYME) looks pretty much hazardous to your health. Also, no one is as funny or as witty as they are in slice-of-life dramas, which is a total pity, because I'd like to think of myself as both funny and witty, but no one ever laughs at my jokes. :(

While I don't really expect anyone to read this blog, this disclaimer is here so you don't expect me to be like "today my life was like season five, episode nine of friends, where  Joey tries to cover for Ross in a comedic situation" because that's not it...it's more...my life is a series of dramatic, relationship-related incidents that would probably be amusing to an outsider, but are just awkward to me, and recently they've tended to involve sex (or, "MLIASODRRITWPBATOABAJATOARTTTIS"). So the appropriate name would be "my life is the essence of a slice-of-life-drama but without all the witty banter" but I'm too lazy to change it at this point. Also, my exboyfriend/roommate's new girlfriend, while trying to convince me that i should date her best friend because he just can't find a good girl and we would totally get along because we both have a few similar hobbies, said that if I did end up dating said best friend, we would totally be like an episode from Friends. Let the shenanigans begin. #MLIAFE
