Distractionship

A bond formed between two people that is beneath a relationship or a situationship for the sole purpose of distracting oneself or selves from another relationship or situationship. This may be done consciously or subconsciously. Additionally, one person may see the bond as more of a relationship/situationship whereas the other person may truly see it for what it is.
A relationship is your boyfriend/girlfriend. A situationship is the sticky mess you find yourself in with a person who avoids commitment. And distractionship(s) are all the random people on your snap that you flirt with to make yourself feel better about said relationship or situationships.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
