you are what you love, and not what loves you back.

let’s be friends! no, really.

it’s been almost a year since i’ve moved to san francisco, and i’ve been extremely lucky to have found some amazing friends — but i’m always looking for more. here are some things you should know about me, should you want to be buds:

1. i’ll probably try way too hard to be your friend. at almost 26 years young, i’ve found myself trying entirely too hard to be friends with people, only to be shut down. “oh, that’s cute, but i’ve got enough friends. my friend quota has been met this year, maybe in 2012, thanks girl!” — and to make matters worse, i actually care! i’ve walked home from work being sad that nobody invited me to lunch, or found myself near tears upon receiving a text that someone didn’t want to get drinks with me. wake up, fool! you’re a grown woman, calm the fuck down.

2. i’ll probably not try hard enough to be your friend. maybe it’s because i’m a libra, maybe it’s because i’m a hot mess; who knows. truth is, sometimes i shut down and get very introspective and i don’t want to be around people/think it’s better that people not be around me. i’ll probably turn down some of your invites to hang out (this is totally hypocritical of #1, i know, ugh #ihatemyselfsometimes) but i promise i’ll make it up to you. for every invitation i turn down, i’ll show up at your apartment with a bottle of wine and a “sorry i’m cuckoo” card.

3. i have a bad case of the bitchface. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again; i’m a lot happier than i look! i love my life (90% of the time)! if i’m walking down the street or sitting at my desk or you catch me in the ladies’ room, okay yes, i probably don’t look very happy but i swear i am! i’m aware of my bitchface, and i’m working on it. please don’t let that deter you from being my friend. and if you suffer from chronic bitchface too, all the better! we can go get a drink and scare people off together. 

4. my nail polish is always chipped. fucking always, and not by choice or anything. maybe it’s because i use cheap nail polish, maybe it’s my iron deficiency, i don’t know. but i can guarantee you that even a day after getting even the most professional of manicures, my nail polish will be chipped, and if that bothers you, we probably shouldn’t be friends.

5. i’ll be totally honest with you. if you haven’t figured it out by now, i’m a pretty truthful person. i don’t mince words, but i’m also super objective. if you ask me if i like your new top/earring/bag/shoes, and they’re totally not my thing and i would never wear them, but i know that they’re amazing for you and your style and they look great on you, i will tell you. just because something isn’t for me, doesn’t mean it can’t be fabulous for someone else, and vice versa! so let’s go shopping, girl (at H&M or zara or maybe the barneys warehouse sale, i don’t have that neimans ca$h yet)!
