I work a lot and sleep a little and eat enough and care too much, though rarely about the right stuff, and I do not use internet shorthand or emojis. I’m clumsy and lose things and I like to drink, and when I drink, I call everyone dude even though I’m not sure why, or if I even like it. My mind is like a scary basement full of cobwebs and abandoned crap, though I’m certain it smells nice down there. I dislike sitting at tables for meals, especially when it involves waiters and I only wear sneakers. I cry easily, though no one has ever seen me cry, ever, and no one made me cry more than me. I love being kissed on my forehead and I miss telling someone I love them and meaning it.
