I think if you are with people you genuinely like, then teasing is not hurtful and can be really funny. I have been binge-watching old episodes of West Wing, a venue where brilliant colleagues toss insults back and forth like a game, and it is hilarious.
I liked the Axis vs Allies, and making fun of oneself the most. I know a guy who has posted a scathing review of his own piece of writing, for his own amusement.
oh for sure. acting is a thing I think a lot of people fantasize about. improv is a great way to start. another thing I always have in my head is some kind of martial art. someday.
I enjoyed the last portion. I feel like that's why classics have staying power: they're overall structure and individuals parts tend not to clash so badly. There's no overemphasis into certain minutiae because the author decided to get cute. The attention is pulled for a purpose, and the emphasis in line with the intention. Though I've also heard poor things about horses being brought to water. C'est la vie, or something.
Adam Hunter, Blace and I met up for some drinks a few days past and we were poking fun at each other all the time. It's refreshing.
oh no i couldn't do it in person, i'd cry

My friends also aren't sissies.
It helps. 😊

thanks for reading. i honestly think i’m someone who would do that to myself.
Apropos of acting, I’ve been thinking (for some time) about trying improv. Get massively outside my comfort zone. Add it to my resume.

You know we can’t keep saying someday—and yet I do!

thanks Zach. i think you're right, they're kind of distilled to the "true" in a way.
