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

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

one of which currently being that i have had a little too good of a time hanging out with awesome brilliant fun people in new york city this month. my life is so hard i know

anyways. i am going to be back in vancouver soon. which is always awesome. but maybe less so now that a lot of my friends are not in town anymore. and historically. upon rearrival. i tend to get a little too comfortable being in my own company. and a little too in my head about being p*rceived. and thus the rotting begins

very lame of me. fear is the mind-killer. my real eyes realize. therefore. i have decided to Put Myself Out There and make a bit more of an effort to make more friends here. (there?? everywhere??) before i actually go insane. and stumble across a reasonably sized cave. and take up hermitude as my new lifestyle

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

would u like to be friends with me..... u want to be friends with me soooo bad..

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 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. also so many social activities in vancouver revolve around getting food and i am so so so over it

some shenanigans we could get up to instead:

• make a website together at one of vancouver's many public parks
• pick out books for each other at one of vancouver's many public libraries
• search for funny looking rocks at one of vancouver's many public beaches
• go for a nice long walk (have always wanted to hit 100k steps in one day..)
• scope out the farmer's market for free samples (kitsilano + trout lake on top!!)
• locate an outdoor table to play some sort of card or board game atop
• walk down every aisle at a fancy grocery store and freak out about the 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 or two.. am on the lookout for a summer dress..
• learn a new card game together. i will def not zone out while we read instructions
• sign up for and attend an open lecture/program/general event. very specific

frequently asked questions (hypothetical)

heads up!!

that i am even more socially inept in real life. and i like to go mute at the function. and i interact with a staggering average of 2 people (a rotating roster if u will) every day. this is a big shocker i bet. a devastating blow u were not expecting from a girl who spends a lot of her online

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
