hulloooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my name is shen and i like to make silly sites to solve my problems

i originally made this one because i had no friends in vancouver (problem) because everyone was moving away (another problem) and that made me soooo sad (yet another problem. do u notice a pattern)

now i have more friends back in vancouver but guess what. i am Moving

not to sf. defying all odds and breaking stereotypes. i know

anyways. i will be in TORONTO. as of august 5th. allegedly..

(the rental process was definitely not diabolical and i totally did not have to pay a year's worth of rent upfront to secure the place and when i requested a bank draft they definitely did not congratulate me on buying a home because they thought it was a down payment not a year's worth of rent which was a totally fair assumption to make but i was too embarrassed to correct them)

with that very awesome financial commitment. i would like to fully Put Myself Out There and make some more friends. specifically.. in more intimate (for lack of a better term) one-on-one settings. and then maybe cross over friends groups eventually when we are both more comfortable with each other and then have lots of general fun together to keep the horrors at bay (impending east coast winter. breaking: Pathetic Little West Coaster Cannot Believe Seasons Are A Thing)

friendship ENDED with self-sufficiency.
now The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known is my best friend

some perhaps relevant info about me that is more up to date
(and not from when i was seventeen years old)

• i like to read and walk around and that is all i could really ask for in this life
• i've eaten at least 10 pounds of carrots in the last few days and i may be turning orange
• that is all i can think of right now. check back later maybe. sorry

in the case that we end up hanging out. i do prefer to do things that do not require spending unnecessary money. i have become way too competent at paying around four dollars plus tax and tip for a teabag at a coffee shop with a bathroom key attached to a large object. also so many social activities in vancouver revolved around getting food and i am so so over it

some shenanigans we could get up to instead:

• make a website together at one of toronto's public parks
• pick out books for each other at one of toronto's public libraries
• search for funny looking rocks scattered around one of toronto's beaches
• go for a nice long walk (would luv to eventually hit 100k steps in a day..)
• scope out local markets for free samples (is that a thing here..)
• locate an outdoor table to play some sort of card or board game atop
• walk down every aisle at a grocery store and freak out about the prices
• alternatively.. go to chinatown and buy lots of produce at yummy prices
• go geocaching except i do not have a premium subscription anymore. hm
• find a nice patch or two of grass to read criss cross applesauce on
• scour thru the racks at a thrift store.. not one that buys wholesale please
• learn a new card game together and not zone out reading instructions
• sign up for and attend free local events together #yaytoronto #yayculture

u want to hang out with me sooooooo bad..

frequently asked questions (hypothetical)

heads up!!

i am an overthinker by nature and interact with a staggering average of 5 people (a rotating roster if u will) in real life every day.

this is all a big shocker i bet. a devastating blow u were not expecting from a girl who spends a lot of her time online!!!!!!!!

anyways.. if i come across as a little awkward at first. do not be shocked. i promise i have an actual personality that will slowly reveal itself. good things come with time. bad things also. up to u to decide. or me

speaking of heads.

here are some very real testimonials from my very real friends who did not receive paid compensation and did this willingly btw

yes that is all. i do not have that many friends. case in point
