			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You seemed cool. You didn&#8217;t have many followers.</p>
<p>So I followed you. But then I saw that you sent me an automated DM thanking me for the follow. Really, guys?</p>
<p>1. Super ungeniune</p>
<p>2. A waste of my time</p>
<p>3. Makes you look like a dumb, lazy brand</p>
<p>4. No one wants to receive DMs from brands. EVER.</p>
<p>So I unfollowed you.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading, and let this be a lesson to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aight, I&#8217;m pulling out my soapbox to talk about some sweet band names I thought of. Haven&#8217;t checked to see if they exist. Also, never mind the fact that I can&#8217;t play an instrument, refuse to sing in public, and have a crippling fear of being on stages or really anywhere that shines bright lights upon my sole body.</p>
<p><span id="more-941"></span></p>
<p>Here we go:<br />
- Capital<br />
- Hardbodies<br />
- Suspect, <em>adj</em><br />
- Vince  ( ok, I made that one right now because a list of 3 is weak and I&#8217;m <a href="http://thenamingofnames.com/vince/">hanging with my dog</a>)</p>
<p>Thoughts? JK, not interested. JK I am.</p>

<p>And lately I&#8217;ve really been craving a poets society or something. There&#8217;s something really raw and beautiful about sharing words with other people, actually reading them aloud. I think language is really incredible; I love trying to structure sentences in delicate, harmonious ways. Alliteration is a weakness of mine, if you were wondering. I miss <a href="http://thenamingofnames.com/poetry-etc/">poetry times in college</a> with my weird friends.</p>
<p><a href="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130304-223626.jpg"><img src="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130304-223626.jpg" alt="20130304-223626.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a><br />
This photo has nothing to do with poetry but it&#8217;a my living room and I like it and perhaps my poetry club can sit around it and read. Hmm? Hmmmm?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I usually don&#8217;t regret things. Someone on Twitter, I think, summarized my outlook nicely by saying &#8220;don&#8217;t regret anything because in that moment, it&#8217;s what you wanted.&#8221; Or something like that.</p>
<p><span id="more-671"></span></p>
<p>But I&#8217;ll be honest, I came across this <em>incredible</em> sweater vest at a Banana Republic about two years ago. It was on sale for a mind-boggling $17, but I had already spent the amount of money I had planned on spending. So I left it there. </p>
<p>And I regret it at least once a month. Seriously, my new motto is to always buy the sweater vest, especially when you know in your heart it was made for you. And I KNEW it was made for me. Yet foolishly, I disrupted destiny.</p>
<p>Well, whatever. I <em>don&#8217;t</em> regret buying a ticket to see Tegan &#038; Sara (next week!). I&#8217;m going to have a killer time, even without a sweater vest. This post was pointless, but it&#8217;s been a long (albeit rather eventful and awesome) weekend in The Grove.</p>
<p><a href="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130303-203748.jpg"><img src="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130303-203748.jpg" alt="20130303-203748.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a><br />
Possibly the best compliment I&#8217;ve ever received is &#8220;You look like you&#8217;ve got some good stories.&#8221; Maybe it wasn&#8217;t intended to be a compliment, but I was flattered. I do have so many good stories! And I think being perceived as interesting is way cool. This weekend I added a few more stories to my portfolio &#8211; and I consider that a sweet, sweet success. </p>
<p><a href="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130303-204804.jpg"><img src="http://thenamingofnames.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130303-204804.jpg" alt="20130303-204804.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a><br />
I have a pole growing out of my head. And my arms look really stupid. But geeez, those bloody Marys at the Handle Bar were delicious. </p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Warning: I have a hangover, which actually explains a lot. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Open letters annoy me more than just about anything. If I could scroll through my Facebook news feed without seeing &#8220;Dear lady in the Starbucks line: it&#8217;s not like any of us are in a rush to get to work. Please take your time ordering your half-caf soy latte, no whip, with hazelnut and vanilla syrups,&#8221; it would truly be a glorious day. But instead I&#8217;m subjected to a flood of not-even-slightly-creative passive aggression on every social network I waste my time on. (And by the way, I do catch the irony of me grumbling my grievances to an anonymous audience.)<span id="more-653"></span></span></p>
<p>That said.</p>
<p>Today I have a hangover and I wish wine weren&#8217;t so tasty at night. I know this has nothing to do with the subject of this post – but earlier this week I committed an hour of my time to a webinar that was unrelated to its description. So I think karma is a real thing, and it&#8217;s happening to the Internet right now.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m probably going to have a series of website idea posts. Also, just general idea posts. Because this website is costing me $6 a month and I barely use it, so I need to start taking action.<span id="more-651"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The first website idea is: triestoohard.com</span></p>
<p>It will basically be a compilation of people who try too hard. And it will probably be controversial. And most people will not think it&#8217;s funny. Won&#8217;t get much traffic, but it will still exist for me. And maybe a few others who get annoyed by people who try too hard about things that aren&#8217;t worth the effort. Like Twitter.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
