my job is being a writer which means i have a lot of free time and it also means that fun group events within my industry are rare. this opens up the wonderful world of being a GROUPIE -- a quasi-professional fan of the talents of others. i am not a comedian but through being a comedy groupie i have reaped the greatest benefit of the trade (funny friends) without ever having to set foot on an improv stage. i am not a musician but through being a music groupie i get to listen to my friends play beautiful songs and sometimes play with them for fun. i am not in fashion but being a fashion groupie means i get to hang out with impossibly stylish and knowledgeable women and sometimes try on beautiful clothes. being a master of none means you get to hang out with the masters of everything and it rocks. and all that is demanded of you is that you love and appreciate wonderful art -- DONT MIND IF I DO !

I think of how Natasha Lyonne described herself as a detective being in a room, thinking of herself as not a participant but an observer, keeping records for those not present, like a detective in a quasi-mystery novel. I think in the same light, that being a writer has to include both learning how to participate and to watch many things, to experience many things, and that a writer or creator's identity propels a person into finding experiences and viewing them from the outside. It's being the fly on the wall or the indiscrete wallflower. It is about bearing witness, and the joy of seeing, and through that hopefully are words to say the things you want to say, but that's my bias about it all haha

Thinking abt the chris evans interview where someone asks him about how he relates to his character when he’s acting, and he was like “wow thanks for asking me about my craft and not just my biceps.” I think a lot of artists are still waiting to be viewed as artists. (idk if that’s how you groupe but would love tips)

I'm just truly obsessed with gossip! Knowing all the gossip, telling all the gossip...it's so much fun! No one should really ever tell me their secrets because I love gossip too much.

I always want to know the word on the street about my friends' wellbeing and if that makes me a gossip then so be it

often when something noteworthy happens to me -- a negative sexual experience, an awkward date, a weird subway encounter -- i'll have the impulse to post about it on twitter. but then i think, what if i texted this to my friend instead? and then you can text it to your friend, maybe even one you haven't texted in a while, and they will probably be happy to hear from you directly and you will have strengthened a beautiful relationship. all tweets are spiritually corrosive and the spirit of your new interpersonal bond will persevere long after platforms are dead
