aaaaaaaaaaand more here's the rest of the band

plus initial sketches:

well. I did start to have a couple decent conversations after that one unfortunate first message. some quite pleasant! but one of them actually was not only very good but also like… didn’t fizzle out? and so now I’ve been texting with this guy every day since last friday, so over a week, and it’s just… fun. he seems really nice and we have a surprising amount in common and conversation just seems to flow pretty darn well! it’s honestly been almost startling how well it’s going and how much effort he’s putting in to keep our chats going! and he’s also apparently genuinely pretty amped to meet up!

but he’s not available to do so until next weekend and let me tell you the time is draaaagging lmao. weather permitting, we’re gonna go check out some of the walking trails that are all around my neighbourhood. which I think is a cool first hangout plan! I just need the time to go faster between now and then!!

still though, I’m like… weirdly optimistic? Idk yet if this is date-y or friendly (we both had in our bios that we were looking for friends but that more than that wasn’t out of the question) but either way it seems like we get along really well, and I feel pretty good about it I think. we’ve already bonded over pokemon and talked about exploring town together (I’m from the general area but don’t know this city; he recently moved from another province for school), and tonight upon learning that I don’t know how to ride a bike he offered apparently in earnest to teach me sometime. who does that?? cute. also he’s very chill and nonjudgmental about things like me being 27 and still living with my family or me not being able to drive yet, which is… comforting. I’m very self-conscious about these things with new people lol!
