things i know (this week, anyway) #20

- The inside joke is one of the finest forms of intimacy.

- It is indeed possible to go one Facebook search too far. 

- Being honest about your feelings is exhausting, but usually in a good way.

- Social media is for more than just stalking your high school crush--it's a wonderful way to do good. 

- The thing your soup needs is more salt and a swirl of good extra virgin olive oil. 

- People shed the past at different rates.

- If you write non-fiction, it is inevitable that, at some point, someone will have a problem with something you've written. 

- Sweet potatoes are good with just about everything.

- Cooking dinner is even more fun when you pretend you're on your own personal episode of Chopped. 

- At this point in our Facebook relationship, sending me Farmville requests really is grounds for unfriending. (And by the way, 2010 called and it wants its internet time-suck back.)
