I met Daniel in the first days of February in The Library on Avenue A and within a few hours knew he would be in my life until I die, if I have any say in the matter. Not for about twenty years have I met a human being I instantly knew would be a best friend, and it’s been a humbling joyous experience I can barely describe. He and I have no off button, and the only downside of our union is that every time we hang out we do not go to bed until 6am because there is just so much to discuss. Strongly recommend befriending Daniel if you have the chance, I laugh aloud with pure jubilance every time I lay eyes on this guy.

I’m fortunately married to the friendliest person on earth and he makes friends and connections literally every place we go. It is a gift of his that I reap the benefits of.

such a wonderful feeling when i get to talk to someone who's been on my periphery for so long. its so odd how i constantly convince myself that some people are "too cool" for me to be friends with, but its such a pleasant surprise to really connect and get to know those types of people for who they really are.

I love meeting people and then making an effort to become one on one friends with them. Some of my best friends I’ve made in adulthood have been chance encounters where I decided i needed to learn more about that person and consequently sought them out. These have blossomed into very fulfilling and creatively inspiring friendships. I don’t tend to work very well in friendship groups so this is the model that I have found works for me.

A once- favoured first date spot which I overused and now only go to alone, either to smoke furiously in the yard if in a mood about something, or to watch Jeopardy at the bar with the bartender and other strays

I’m a huge advocate of crossing a bridge every day by foot. When I’m depressed I can’t do anything much, can’t do a proper work out or cook a meal or read or write, but I can always manage to cross a bridge. In London this means walking from my place in South East into town across Waterloo Bridge to go to therapy or the library, and in New York I like going from Clinton Hill across the Manhattan Bridge, usually just to go into Lovely Day thai cafe and eat something and turn right back around. Better than nothing!!

I’m sensitive in every way and get mysterious allergic reactions to lots of stuff which bums me out cause I look all red and raw and ugly for weeks. The only things I can rely on are Avene products, once recommended to me by a Greek pharmacist in Athens who appraised me and said “This will make her less sad,” the “her” being my wretched face.
