Music, reading, pubs, clubs, writing, writing badly, reading good poetry, writing bad poetry, living like a drunk, drinking like a fox, procrastinating like a philosopher, talking up the good fight, making grand plans, buying random clothes and wearing them in odd combinations, generally being a darling, falling for people who don't fall for me but generally finding it life-affirming, learning, complaining but secretly being happy with my lot, being a good friend, sometimes being a difficult friend to be good to, being a sassy independent young man! and so. much. more.
