To create an irreplaceable community is to create irreplaceable roles for everyone within the community.- Sumbal Sabah
I imagined that my closest friends were irreplaceable, but that turns out to be wrong. They’re not merely replaceable; they’re replaceable by the random collection of people who happen to live on your street. I don’t know why this realisation makes me sad. Perhaps it’s because I invested so much in my friends in my younger days. In the absence of religion or a particularly close family, they became the most important thing in my life. Discovering that it’s perfectly possible to survive without them — and survive without any diminution of warmth and laughter — is a bit like losing my faith... I was discussing this with one of my oldest friends, whom I spent last weekend with, having been to his 50th in June. He suggested the reason I don’t really care who I’m spending time with — my oldest friend or the man delivering the mail — is because all I want is an audience. ‘One pair of ears is as good as another,’ he quipped. I hope that’s not the explanation, but he may have a point.

You can't pick up water once it's spilled... So it's important to be careful with it.

15: Are you a night owl or a morning person?
I feel like a million bucks when I get up nice and early on a sunny morning, but I'm a night owl. 43v3r.
Peter!
There's this one kid named Peter, he kind of stalked me a little bit and it got kind of creepy, and now he thinks he's too cool for me.
Heyy that's me on violin and viola. Music scored by Jacob Montegue of Branches.
To me, you smell much sweeter than a rose.
When you kiss me you are quite enchanting.
Although, if one of us had not a nose,
while we kissed, our heads would not be slanting.
When we hug, I feel your heart's fast beating;
breathing is a necessity for this.
Breathing through your mouth makes each breath fleeting,
when our mouths are occupied with a kiss.
Without a nose, I could not really smell,
the smell of you I find to be so good.
For I could not seduce you just as well
if I had to smell you with my left foot.
While kissing, we both must breathe through our nose!
I'm glad that noses our creator chose.
I keep imagining myself on vacation, sitting on my grandmother's back balcony in the mountains after a day of skiing, overlooking the sun setting behind the white capped, pine covered hills, holding my girlfriend's hand and drinking hot chocolate with a plate of cookies nearby. Three more weeks. I can't wait.
