  • My aunt only ever knew one thing about me, that I grew up liking Harry Potter. First I got all the books, split across two years. Then I got all the movies as they came out, up to the 5th one. After that I was apparently too old for her to know what I liked, I got a gift card to a gas station for 3 years in a row. I mean hey $20 in gas wasn’t a totally awful thing as a late teenager, so I guess it could have been worse.
















  • The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.

    “I hate small talk… with people I have no reason to talk to and don’t care about.

    I love my partner, and even when it’s small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.

    But I don’t care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.
