totally lost it in front of nunez last night. blurted out, among other insane things, "i'm, like, your stalker" and "i'm writing a long essay about you." she played it off so cool. totally unperturbed. a genius writer and social virtuoso and now my best friend i'm pretty sure

would you believe me if i told you i was the friend
friend keeps getting mad at me for finding no real distinction between fictional and nonfictional writing so i told her that “fact” and “fiction” actually share an etymological origin! they don’t, of course, but it kind of sounds like they could which is pretty meaningful i think
