I’m really good at
I'm really good at being lucky, apparently. Of course, my friend

... why the more interesting profiles on OKCupid seem to be DGLM
types, but that's the type OKCupid says I should "always avoid".
On a typical Friday night I am
My life doesn't have a "typical" Friday night. There's always
something going on, something to do, something to fix, etc.
