Re: Call: Dietre A./Hugh C.
[He laughs] I don't think so, generally? But we don't have to be everyone. And of course I would have. I like the excuse to cook, and I figure too much birthday cake isn't a thing that anyone can suffer from, so yes. Next year. [He's threatening, or promising? and he's smiling, for awhile. It fades a little.]
I guess I'm not as much as I was earlier in the year. Zee's here, so it's not just me in the house. And she likes to move a lot so I don't know how long she'll stay, but I kinda hope she'll stay for a bit. But last year was hard. I felt kinda like I didn't really fit anywhere here, and I was almost ready to move. Sometimes I feel like I'm too... [he's not really sure exactly how to describe it and he hesitates, searching through words that don't sound bad when he says them] pretentious? I don't know if that's really it. I'm not as lonely now as I was.
