Avalanches above, business continues below

In a movie theater this weekend, I sat behind these two old women who were friends. One of the women had brought the other one some salt and pepper as a gift. She was so excited. “I have a lot of salt and pepper,” she said, “but this is the prize of the collection.”

A guy sitting next to me on the train waited till he was getting off at his stop to say, "Interesting book to be reading in New York, miss," and I thought wow, he must have read this book and have feelings about it! It wasn't till hours later that I realized he was just making a joke about the title "My Year of Rest and Relaxation” and that he probably saved that zing till he was leaving because it felt like it was such a powerful zing. Anyway, the book takes place in New York and so far I love it.

I gave a girl gum at like 2am on the dance floor last night because she was trying to hook up with her crush, she is in my thoughts and I hope she was successful

No one asked me, but my favorite movies this year were “Eighth Grade,” “Blindspotting,” And “Can You Ever Forgive Me,” just my two cents!!!

Hello, this year (and the past few months especially) has been a lot of illness and rejection and exhaustion, and throughout all that, people have stepped up to take care of me in ways big and small. So this is a genuine post just to express my thanks. In many ways it has made me feel loved and safe, even as I’m crying in all kinds of inappropriate locations.

I went to the laundromat today and there was free pizza. I’m not sure why. I’ve been going to this laundromat for over a year and nothing like this has ever happened before. I went to get a slice and some other guy doing his laundry came up to me to say, “They’ll microwave it for you if you want.” “Uhh okay,” I said. He went up the the desk. “She wants her pizza microwaved,” he said.
