I get really excited to hang with a new friend because I like getting to know people and I like to talk and ask questions. I enjoy having one activity I might do solely with this friend like a yoga or Pilates class or a specific walking route. It’s even more fun when we meet because of the internet. Here’s me and my friend who I met because of Instagram.

I love basing my friendships around things I like to do, and having an allocated person to do that with, also having a process / routine that this thing happens around. Like a tiny religious procession of two.
E.g. : one friend is my coffee and a walk friend, another is a person I only exclusively hang out with to eat tacos once a month, a third friend to only go to cinema screenings with, another friend will join me for exercise classes and we usually get dinner afterwards.
I like this approach to friendship in general because it’s less pressure to have to come up with new things to do, and if you stagger time well then you always have things to do and people to see.

i've had a bad habit of asking for someone's instagram after a first hangout or meeting at a bar or whatever. and honestly that's not a route to knowing someone in a way that's personal or with any longevity, unless you want them to like you via your internet presence first, which, you shouldn't! i think you're gonna get much more out of a new friend by being intentional about reaching out and building that relationship via text or, even better, asking them to hang, then by starting the friendship parasocially online. would you rather build a friendship based on 1:1 connection or by the sort of open-call of interaction that we put out on social media? because with 1:1 connection, it sounds like you're gonna get more original and personal conversations.

one of my favorite activities
When I was 13 I started making friends on Xanga - some of who have become my closest long term friends IRL. I think it’s neat that something as simple as a shared love for a band can spawn such deep long lasting friendships that take you who knows where.

It has so many purposes. For some reason it cures any weird thing that appears on my skin. I know its antibacterial but feels like a miracle for anything nefarious. also if your sink smells bad throw some down there it’ll help.

LA getting you down? because its Too Boring? Escape into this provocative - bordering-smut novel
that takes place in more exciting, drug fueled times. It’s called ’The Shards’ and I read it earlier this summer and could not put it down. Like most of Ellis’ writing, it’s got well dressed preppy hot people and cocaine and serial killers. After reading ’The Shards’, I’ve been very visually inspired by 1980s LA 🎥🎥🎥
