Happy Birthday my love, I miss you so much!!!! Here are some things I associate you with: diners on the east coast, cherry blossoms, Connor McDavid and his agonies, the Haunted Hersheypark arena (and Hershey in general), the sort of general concept of road trips as fostering personal growth in a liminal space, Pete Wentz's wordsmithing (you 🤝 Pete Wentz 🤝 your writing kicking my ass), the Washington Nationals, Snafu from the Pacific in both spirit and memory, inventive cocktails, Steel Train, Niall Horan doing his 😉👉 thing all the time on Instagram in the run-up to Heartbreak Weather (and Heartbreak Weather in general), the US-Canadian border patrol, horny twtfic on main in the mid-10s, Boston-area NCAA hockey (did you know that when I was thinking abt grad school part 2 I was looking at BU bc they have a hockey team and that was your influence 😭😭), the entire city of Washington DC, and the very old very fond memory when checking my email didn't meant horrible emails that cause me psychological damage, it meant delightful emails from you (that also sometimes caused psychological damage, but i LOVED it.)

Actually that was less a list of things that I associate with you and more a list of very fond memories involving you!! I hope you have the most wonderful day!! Don't work too hard!! Love you ♥️🌸♥️🌸♥️

kasper my love!!! i'm gonna cry. i'm so excited to hopefully watch some american league hockey with you this winter (tho tragically not in hershey) and then see OUR GOOD BOY NIALL next summer!!!! also i keep thinking that if i want to move on to doctoral work after i finish my masters that i might consider boston schools just because the college hockey up there is so fun. lmao. you 🤝 me 🤝 making education decisions for the right reasons.

i was talking recently about how i really miss the era of just writing fic directly into emails to friends...... my long deranged email threads with friends just sending increasingly unhinged fic back and forth....... and it's like, yeah i could just start emailing my friends again but email has just become. so much worse. i don't know if it's possible to reclaim it for good. 😔

anyway. ilysm. 💖💕💖💕💖
