The other day my buddy texted me and asked if I wanted to come over and make action figure dioramas. I was like uh hell yeah are you kidding that sounds like itd be fucking awesome. and guess what? We have spent every night since working on it, posted up in his garage with so much cardboard and paint fumes. I think it's pretty badass! We decided on making a battle scene set in New York, so we started with some buildings to act as hubs to build the rest of the street around, him with his apartments, and me with my bodega.We've been rewatching the MCU, listening to new music, and just talking about our friendship. I really appreciate him. The thing is, we haven't known each other as long as the others, but we've become like brothers. like we just get on each others nerves like siblings, but we also still come back together like brothers. And that's really helped me become more secure in myself strangely, because I think he understands me better than I understand myself, and through various jokes and conversations, he's able to call me on my bullshit and make me more aware and by all of that, it helps me understand myself and improve, if that makes sense.
He's just a really good guy! I trust him with my life! And these past few fays have just been like, childhood wish fulfillmen. I never really had friends as a kid that I could do this kinda stuff with, not many people to geek out about this stuff with, nobody was staying up late with me. So this has been really cathartic for me. I've made a bodega, a subway entrance, some miscellaneous city props, just like, really in the zone. And it's been nice to bounce ideas off each other because we're both so excited about this that there's only positive feedback and collaboration, no stressing, no stepping on each others toes.
Idk, it feels really nice to have had these last few days be this little place I can go to. included: pictures of my friend's destroyed apartment building, and my bodega (unfinished)

Being around great friends allows us to be our *truest selves*, which unlocks inspiration.
I love giving feedback to my best friend on his projects, it means so much.

one of my friends is currently living across the country from me because of college. he's been back in town since late december, and ive seen him a lot since then. hes always been the sort of friend i can talk to for hours on end about nothing in particular.
tonight, we played mgs 4 with a group of four or five others, then later hopped on a friend group discord
we were both playing different games, and weren't paying too close attention to our own or each others. we talked about so much i can barely remember now, even just a couple minutes after disconnecting.
some of my favorite nights recently have just been playing a game and being on call with a friend (both him and others). nothing bombastic, nothing to riotously funny; just simple conversation to fill the air and get a few laughs.

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 itβs 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.

She's an actual angel in disguise. She just casts a spell over me that makes incapable of sense or speech.

After years of heavy sleeping, Ive now resorted to making my alarms all of my favorite songs, with some awful car alarms mixed in there. it's a nauseating concoction, I know, and so far, to my knowledge, it doesn't work. But ignorance is bliss.
