i have a small scar on my arm that i got from a broken wine glass after my friends and i had our first party at my old apartment. great food, amazing wine, a projector showing ‘valerie and her week of wonders’ on the wall, and people i love very much (including my dog). it’s a nice memento :)
my friend also chipped my front tooth with a bottle of heineken when we were doing the viral tumblr lana del rey video games dance in 2013 but that’s a story for another time.
had a wine and cheese craft night two weeks ago, despite the anxiety we persisted, loved seeing inter friend group interaction, totally worth it. music is awesome, art is awesome, people are awesome!!
yuriko invited me to her going away party because I asked to try her ginger beer when she rec’d it a while back. the ginger beer apparently exploded before it could be served but I met some cool people, ate some nice cake, lost at chess, and had a good time. if socializing is your thing I recommend the experience, kinda fun to be the mysterious stranger at the function.
i decided to spend my birthday last year in patagonia because i wanted to go on an adventure and see beautiful things. the initial plan was to go to antarctica but that didn’t work out so i decided to go to as close to the end of the world as i could. it’s really one of those trips that make you believe in the glorious mysteries of life. exploring the wilderness while listening to black marble’s ‘it’s immaterial’ was wonderful.
this website plays songs while showing us the most poignant comments people left in their respective youtube comment section. it's so wonderfully nostalgic.
