its so awful, like when you get even older (LIKE ME) not only do you have a hard time making new grownup friends but you're forced into new awful situations ie: being forced to be friends with someone because they are the partner of your partners friend, as well as realizing that your OLD friends who might not be terrible you now have NOTHING in common with so you're stuck with like, old friends who are around just because they've always been and new friends youre forced to hang out with.
SO AWESOME.
the only thing that works for me is meeting people who I like through fandom and mutual internet friends and then FORCING them to hang out with me irl and SOMETIMES it works out REALLY WELL (like rachel. poor rachel, she had NO IDEA what she was in for when she answered my email and I tricked her into meeting me by saying the words "lets have beer and talk about liams face." she cant get rid of me with a STICK now, even if she tried.) (haha, she could try but man, shes TINY. I would so win.) but yeah, other than people from fandom in general making friends is AWFUL.
Basically you and Rachel keep telling me that my life is going to get worse and I want to remind you once again that I was ALMOST PAST THIS CRISIS OVER TURNING 26, STOP TEMPTING ME TO BACKSLIDE. It's been a lot of months without vacuuming before I pulled it together for a strong October.
Fandom people are the best when that actually works out! fitofpique is almost more of a rl friend than a fandom friend because she actively reviles my fandom choices, but it's SO AWESOME to have someone who just understands all your references. Like, someone who knows what sad but not "If You Are Prepared" sad means (IT MEANS THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL GET OVER IT, UNLIKE IF YOU ARE PREPARED SAD WHICH IS A NEVERENDING SADNESS).
But there's a bit of a shortage in fandom people who live in the right cities, siiiiiigh.
I am literally sitting here rocking eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Harry definitely needs to be involved, because that would be great for BOTH OF US (never stop writing him) but then do I want him to enjoy the company of Zayn? Or Nick? This is basically the most difficult decision that anyone has ever had to make I REALLY JUST WANT YOU TO WRITE ANYTHING. Like, even that Liam/Louis story you just wrote completely made my day, it doesn't even have to be things I already know I like -- you write it and I will love it.
I am the most hypocritical because I feel like NO, YOU'RE NOT OLD, AND AGE DOESN'T MATTER AND I LOVE YOU, and this is what I was like to all of my friends when they turned 26/30/40 whatever. BUT THE RULES DON'T APPLY TO ME, AGING IS DIFFERENT WHEN IT'S YOURSELF.

Oh my god, I can't stop laughing! I feel like I should defend myself by saying that you also ACTIVELY REVILE my fandom choices, or my choice not to have a fandom, or my decision to make up fandoms indiscriminately (i.e., my motley assortment of bearded weirdos and dead/non-existent fandoms)! I mean!
Also, I totally understand what you mean about avocado on toast, and I think it's because avocado really doesn't go that well with bread! It makes no sense, but there you go.
I DO NOT, TARA, YOU WERE LIKE "IS THIS A FRIENDSHIP TEST, THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO LIKE?" WHERE AS I WAS JUST LIKE, "I AM AFRAID OF THE CLOWN AND DEEPLY SQUICKED BY AMPUTATION." THERE WAS NO JUDGMENT.
Also. Clowns, Tara. All I'm bringing to the table are attractive teenagers. NO ONE HAS LEGITIMATE PHOBIAS ABOUT TEENAGERS.
hahahaha, which is to say -- thank god for alcohol and our continued friendship. You are a delight and I treasure you always.
Oooooooooh, have you finally explaining the continued mystery of the disappointment of avocado toast? That's amazing. What could I do to consume an avocado without the bread? Is there a solution to this problem?
Hee! I'm willing to concede that trying to get you to see the appeal of Mr. Jelly was probably a bit over the line. But I have to disagree that having a phobia of teenagers is not legitimate! At this point in my life, I find people unbearable from around 8 or 9 until well into their 20s! I just can't! They're terrible! D:
So yay for alcohol and also alcohol! And also YOU!!! You're also treasured by me :D
One more thing about avocado/bread. It's not actually that bad if the avocado is part of a sandwich, but just the two things on their own are too much somehow! How dare the universe?!? It should be entirely delicious but it's somehow weird and stodgy. Sigh.
SO AWESOME.
