I met Daniel in the first days of February in The Library on Avenue A and within a few hours knew he would be in my life until I die, if I have any say in the matter. Not for about twenty years have I met a human being I instantly knew would be a best friend, and it’s been a humbling joyous experience I can barely describe. He and I have no off button, and the only downside of our union is that every time we hang out we do not go to bed until 6am because there is just so much to discuss. Strongly recommend befriending Daniel if you have the chance, I laugh aloud with pure jubilance every time I lay eyes on this guy.

The other day my buddy texted me and asked if I wanted to come over and make action figure dioramas. I was like uh hell yeah are you kidding that sounds like itd be fucking awesome. and guess what? We have spent every night since working on it, posted up in his garage with so much cardboard and paint fumes. I think it's pretty badass! We decided on making a battle scene set in New York, so we started with some buildings to act as hubs to build the rest of the street around, him with his apartments, and me with my bodega.We've been rewatching the MCU, listening to new music, and just talking about our friendship. I really appreciate him. The thing is, we haven't known each other as long as the others, but we've become like brothers. like we just get on each others nerves like siblings, but we also still come back together like brothers. And that's really helped me become more secure in myself strangely, because I think he understands me better than I understand myself, and through various jokes and conversations, he's able to call me on my bullshit and make me more aware and by all of that, it helps me understand myself and improve, if that makes sense.
He's just a really good guy! I trust him with my life! And these past few fays have just been like, childhood wish fulfillmen. I never really had friends as a kid that I could do this kinda stuff with, not many people to geek out about this stuff with, nobody was staying up late with me. So this has been really cathartic for me. I've made a bodega, a subway entrance, some miscellaneous city props, just like, really in the zone. And it's been nice to bounce ideas off each other because we're both so excited about this that there's only positive feedback and collaboration, no stressing, no stepping on each others toes.
Idk, it feels really nice to have had these last few days be this little place I can go to. included: pictures of my friend's destroyed apartment building, and my bodega (unfinished)

I’m fortunately married to the friendliest person on earth and he makes friends and connections literally every place we go. It is a gift of his that I reap the benefits of.

such a wonderful feeling when i get to talk to someone who's been on my periphery for so long. its so odd how i constantly convince myself that some people are "too cool" for me to be friends with, but its such a pleasant surprise to really connect and get to know those types of people for who they really are.

A once- favoured first date spot which I overused and now only go to alone, either to smoke furiously in the yard if in a mood about something, or to watch Jeopardy at the bar with the bartender and other strays

I’m a huge advocate of crossing a bridge every day by foot. When I’m depressed I can’t do anything much, can’t do a proper work out or cook a meal or read or write, but I can always manage to cross a bridge. In London this means walking from my place in South East into town across Waterloo Bridge to go to therapy or the library, and in New York I like going from Clinton Hill across the Manhattan Bridge, usually just to go into Lovely Day thai cafe and eat something and turn right back around. Better than nothing!!

Everyone who loves Sibylle Baier really loves Sibylle Baier. If you go on a date and the other person is also a Sibylle fan then you have to fall in love. She’s this amazing German folk singer who made recordings in the 1970s which were only released in 2006. Her song Colour Green is the best song to walk sadly across bridges to, in my opinion.
