yeah, I could stand more close friendships, def. part of it I have high standards and I’m like this all the time so you have to be willing to put up with me, also I’m a night owl but even when I go out during the day it’s like “well, I sure am here at… out, can’t wait to make friends”

I dunno this is part of what I’m most hanging up on about Portland, it seemed like as homogeneous as Portland – at least “weird” Portland, Portlandia – was, I felt that as every bit as broad as any society, only painted in the palette of me. There were all these fascinating little scenes and cliques that were like “what if this one aspect of your life was a whole thing”, and I could see myself taking part in any one of them, I could walk into a bar and every other person struck me as a potential friend, or lover, or someone I’d be okay growing up into

and I just don’t feel that anymore
