My 2021

At the start of the year, I spent three months living with my Dad in Chennai. My social circle during this time was exclusively geriatric - my Dad, my grandmother, and various extended family members.

Geographical facts: I lived in Bushwick for the better (or worse, I suppose) part of 2021. Someone kept leaving used condoms outside the entrance to our building - it would be in a slightly different position each time I chanced upon it. One time the door handle to the main entrance was stolen and it wasn't replaced for two weeks. I live on the Upper West Side now. We live above a balloon shop owned by an ex-Marine whom we call King Gene. Our walls are really thin and during the day I can hear our neighbour (an opera singer) practicing.

I went to a sex party. Some affiliations of the other partygoers: Skadden, Google, and Columbia Medical School. I witnessed a sexual human centipede.

I went to Colombia (Medellin and Bogota) with a guy I'd been on two dates with. I did 2CB with an Israeli with beautiful blue-green eyes. I discovered that Medellin is completely overrun with rowdy Israelis. I also met Nicholas Escobar, but this was something I realised after our encounter. After Medellin I met up with my boy in Bogota and we stayed at his friend's house, a massively scaled up cabinet of curiosities - insane artist type, etc., etc.

I think I met someone I could see myself falling in love with.
