Yeah, that's true, and it's definitely not the same. With a trip, we have a good few days to really enjoy ourselves. Same here! What are you working on? I'm in the new season of Dexter, so that's a lot of fun.
another season of dexter? that sounds like fun, do you know when it will hit our screens? i just wrapped a movie based on the book tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, got the next project lined up but hoping to see some friends before diving right into it.
HUDDY: like i would ever want to get rid of you. if anything, /you/ are stuck with /me/. i think anything is better than the met gala after party tbh. mostly just surviving but i'm having the best time. how was cannes? i'm in toronto rn. had an award show last night and now i'm in hangover recovery mode ... again.
daisy: if that is the case then i may just be the luckiest girl. ha. that is now the standard in which we will compare all hangovers. sounds like a great time. wow, you went to an event without me?? i am hurt. never mind i am 6000 miles away, hope you feel guilty.
i've been working so much that i absolutely missed your 28th birthday and that was so terrible of me. i'm an awful friend. you deserve to be celebrated though, so i'll have to make it right very soon. are you going to be in LA anytime soon? if you are, i'll be showing up with gifts, flowers and champagne. i really am sorry. forgive me? what did you do to celebrate this year? / @dejonesfms
don't worry, you are off being the big movie star and i love that for you. but i am not going to pass up getting to see you and having an excuse to celebrate, so let's do it. i am not but i do have a break, so i can find myself in la for these celebrations. i went out with some friends, drank too much guinness and had a great time.
I love it when we have an excuse to all get together and catch up, since it rarely happens that we can all be in the same place. I feel like it went by far too quickly, though. What are you up to now? Back to work or extending the vacation?
it is the best. i mean, even at events where we are all together, there is usually a million cameras around and you don't really get a catch up, it was nice to have time to enjoy ourselves. i am back at work, had to go straight to set. what about you?
Happy Birthday to the greatest thing Phil and Wendy have ever accomplished.
Today’s one of my favourite days because it celebrates the existence of one of my favourite people. The world got an incredibly talented, kind-hearted person and I got a best friend who keeps my ego nicely under control at all times. Very thoughtful arrangement all around.
I do genuinely think the world became better the day you were born. You make people feel safe, loved, understood and seen, sometimes without even realising you’re doing it. That’s rare. And very annoying of you, frankly, because now the rest of us have to keep up.
Also, massive shoutout to Phil and Wendy. I love them dearly for creating you and, by extension, giving me the chance to know you at all. They really did incredible work there. Historic achievement. Nobel Prize worthy parenting, if you ask me.
I’m very lucky to have met you, even luckier to call you one of my best friends. Thank you for every laugh, every chaotic conversation, every bit of honesty, every hug, every moment you’ve shown up for me without hesitation. Life’s infinitely brighter with you in it.
I hope this year gives you back even a fraction of the love you put into everyone else. You deserve all of it and more.
Now hurry up and make a wish before you become ancient.
Love you always,
Paul
(Also, in what can only be described as an act of deep personal commitment, I attempted to bake you a Victoria sponge cake. Now, I’m not saying it’s good, exactly, but I am fairly confident it’s edible and, importantly, not poisonous. Which already feels like a massive win for me domestically.
I’m aware your standards may be slightly higher considering you’ve probably had professionally baked cakes before, but I’d appreciate you judging it with kindness and perhaps lowered expectations. If nothing else, it was made with love and a concerning amount of whipped cream… and there might also be a huge chicken plushie delivered with it.)
Yeah, people don't usually get to see everything that exists behind all the good parts they do see. That's why it's nice being able to experience that side of things with friends who have gone through it themselves before, you don't have to explain every little thing because they just get it. Probably more than I even realise, honestly, which is still a bit mad for me to wrap my head around sometimes. I think I'm always harsher on myself than other people are. And I'm not joking! I really do want to work with you again, so it'd genuinely feel like such a blessing if we got the chance to do it.
I honestly think that’s one of the best things about having people around you who’ve lived through similar stuff — there’s this unspoken understanding where you don’t have to constantly explain yourself because they already see the parts you usually keep hidden. And for what it’s worth, I really do think you’re far harder on yourself than anyone else is, even if it’s difficult for you to fully believe that sometimes. But genuinely, hearing you say you’d want to work with me again means a lot, and I can honestly say I’d love that too, so I really hope our project gets off the ground.
HUDDY: love that for you.
HUDDY: had to keep the buddy system alive so not sorry about gluing myself to you at yet another after party. the bright side - i ended up going home with all my clothes this time. how were you feeling the morning after? where'd you end up going after napa?
daisy: thank you.
daisy: we are forever buddys now. hope you know that there is no getting rid of me. at every event, i am coming to you. so proud!! i was a lot better than after the met gala, that is for sure. were you thriving or just surviving? i went to cannes for the film festival. where are you in the world now?
i have to say i'm almost disappointed that i was not able to make it to cannes. it looked like a lot fun and maybe our paths just aren't meant to cross anymore. should we just accept our fate? @dejonesfms
with yu in every movie going these days, i was shocked you weren't there. surely it cannot be the case. mainly because i am hoping our movie gets another sequel. i got the storm chasing bug now.
It was so great! I'm glad we all got to experience it together, it was a lot of fun. I love a group trip. I'm going to sound so boring, but my favourite part of spending time with Liz because I hadn't seen her in two weeks. Gross, I know. Enjoying the sun rising and setting over the vineyards was such a beautiful sight, too.
it really was. it was so nice to have so many friends all in one place. it doesn't happen very often. even nicer there were no cameras. that is adorable you got to spend all that time together. i loved it so much. the views were so stunning
i haven't seen you since the "twisters" days and i know it doesn't seem like that long ago, but i has been and i'll admit i'm not too happy with us. aren't we supposed to be friends? i know the excuse "we're both busy" is bound to come up in this conversation, but it's not good enough. [ @dejonesfms ]
i know, i am getting offended that superman has forgotten about us little people. it's really not, so let's fix it. how about a wine tasting here in napa and you can catch me up on all the gossip i have missed?
HUDDY: it was my pleasure, dais. are you still in new york or did you end up having to haul ass and head out to the next project like i did??
HUDDY: it would fit the hot mess express image i've got going on. that said, don't be surprised when i start gluing myself to you at every big fancy event. buddy system, fr.
daisy: i got to stay in new york for a little bit. it was nice. what are you working on??
daisy: does this mean i am seeing you at the party tonight? i like this buddy system we have going on so i am going to need it to happen.
