The afternoon before flying to Belgium, I was sitting in a brewery bar (surprise) investigating a beer I knew G would be interested in. The brewery’s marketing director was sitting a few seats down. I didn’t know she was the marketing director, I assumed she was the bar manager as she had a laptop open in front of her.

Once I’d tried the special release, aged in amburana barrels, she asked me how I liked it. I did like it and told her my son would like it so I was hoping to take him some if possible. She said they hadn’t bottled any and their crowler machine (bar canner) wasn’t working. Then she surprised me by bringing me a can of a different special beer not due to be released until the next day.

I’d been texting with G the whole time and told her he was thrilled. He wondered if I could bring her something back from Belgium. She said she was really into smoked beers. I was surprised. Not that she liked smoked beers but that she’d ask for one from Belgium. Germany sure. Scandinavia probably. Even America is brewing smoked beer. But Belgium isn’t known for it. It is known for amazing world class and highly sought after beer I could easily bring back. No, she wanted a smoked beer.

Yesterday we stopped into the largest bottle shop in the area, called the Drink Factory. It was overflowing and overwhelming in the amount and variety of Belgian beer the prices were a fraction of what I’d pay in the states if/when I could find them. We found so much interesting beer including one named Urine and one possibly made atop a mountain of cats but in the whole shop we found only one smoked beer.

Slightly smoked for people with guts…lol. So Julia will get a Belgian smoked beer for people with guts.

I really want to find one of those headcanon posts that go like “this character is [gender]/[sexuality]/[race]/[religion]/has [mental illness]/[disability]/other” for one specific character and headcanon. (You know the kind of post I mean, with lists of evidence and/or ideas of little things that are different for the character, stuff canon doesn’t show but doesn’t contradict.) Unfortunately, I can’t find one, and I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone what I’m looking for. ._. I wonder if there’s a blog somewhere that I can anonymously ask and they’ll have a listing to search through or even write one up, but that’s probably too much to hope for.

John Lloyd Young is featured on an interview with WOR Radio’s Joan Hamburg. The interview took place on Wednesday in New York’s famous Sardi’s Restaurant. Listen to this fascinating and insightful interview from the WOR website!

Perhaps this was what the lunch was about?

Another broken link... no old archive found - only this, this & this.

Feeling like shit. Getting close to people is the ultimate struggle for me. I live in a constant state of anxiety over proving my "worth", anxiety over talking, and anxiety over not talking. Anxiety over finding a group of people, even a person, that is compatible with me. So when I get close to you, give you my trust, and after finally being "me" with you, I come to realize that you don't even value me as important, or as something worth being in your agenda, I'll leave. Self preservation is simple like this, but also lonely
