Dear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n
I’ve been feeling so lonely lately.\u00a0 I can’t tell if it’s just because it’s still very much winter in Chicago, or if I’m just infinitely bored by the people I know.\u00a0 I’ve been volunteering and exercising and catching up with old friends on Facebook, but nothing helps.\u00a0 Is there a Big Brother type program for adults?\u00a0 Like to help match you up with friends that won’t be boring or mean or not want to listen to you complain about your job?\u00a0 Because I’m also afraid that I might just be bored because being an adult is boring and stupid unless you’re a photographer for National Geographic or that guy who travels around the world doing that funny dance in different countries.<\/p>\n
Help!<\/p>\n

Dear Blech,<\/strong><\/p>\n Well winter in Chicago has to have a lot to do with your loneliness.\u00a0 But I mean really, most people are really boring.\u00a0 I think it’s because they talk about themselves or things they think you want to hear.\u00a0 I read Wikipedia obsessively so I can change the subject when people try and talk to me about their job.\u00a0 I like to give long lectures on biblical evidence of UFO’s and the significance in modern culture of the Vesica Picis.\u00a0 Most people don’t really seem to enjoy it, but you can’t please everyone. There is a Big Brother type thing for adults; it’s called therapy.\u00a0 Sorry to say, but it sounds like you might benefit from it.\u00a0 In the meantime, stick with your exercising and volunteer work.\u00a0 It’ll be June any minute and I know you’ll feel at least a little better. Are you talking about Where In the Hell Is Matt? (Click Here<\/a> for the video)\u00a0 I think that guy has inspired depression in a lot of people.\u00a0 I know it was supposed to be joyful, and at first when you watch it you are filled with joy and hope.\u00a0 But then, if you’re like me, you are filled with bitterness and resentment that you didn’t have the guts to strike out and seek your own adventure.\u00a0 I tried to counter my raging jealous by sending him fan emails, but I think they came off a little psycho.\u00a0 Why does my fan mail also come off as desperate-stalker-cutter-type wanting a relationship or at least a little cash from a famous person?\u00a0 I have to work on that. <\/strong><\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/strong><\/p>\n Poor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Poor Lucky Me, I’ve been feeling so lonely lately.\u00a0 I can’t tell if it’s just because it’s still very much winter in Chicago, or if I’m just infinitely bored by the people I know.\u00a0 I’ve been volunteering and exercising and catching up with old friends on Facebook, but nothing helps.\u00a0 Is there a Big … Continue reading “Monday, April 13th”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3819,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245\/revisions\/3819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
