I’ve since relapsed —but as a compulsive nail biter my entire life, I got my first manicure this past winter and for the first time in my life my nails looked presentable. the clear polish is nice like a worry stone for me, satisfying the same urge that biting did—it’s a nice thing to do for yourself every 3 weeks or so I’ve discovered.

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

i finally stopped biting my nails for like the literal first time in my life. i've never wanted to get fake nails and now they're long enough that i can get them done (also for the first time in my life)! it's possible!!

The only place you’ll catch me drinking vodka. One time i went alone in the late afternoon for a crepe and a martini after a day wandering around the city. I’d done the thing where I went to Le Labo to spray a little something on myself before continuing on to Anyway. When I got there, the waitress said i smelled like her late husband and she comped my whole check. I’ll never forget that.

I cannot live without my routine of scrolling through Curb clips/memes/full episodes. Larry David’s orbit is so deeply comforting to me. They love and tolerate him even when he’s horrible. It’s kind of how I felt about Garfield the comic when I was a kid. I love to witness a curmudgeon in their safe space to be curmudgeonly. I feel that way with my friends.

i love looking into someone’s fridge and seeing batteries where the butter is. reasonable, eccentric and elderly. I’ve been without my bluetooth speaker for some time now so I’ve been exclusively using my battery powered cd player while I do busywork. my 3 cds in (now months) rotation are Ivy’s apartment life, The Prodigy’s fat of the land, and Depeche Mode’s ultra. i’m also currently looking for a few battery powered sconces so i can have light in various places but with no wires.
