You wake up, go to work most days, maybe drive a car, maybe don’t, maybe ride a bicycle instead. You’re mad at me, mad that I cared, and that things don’t end just because you need them to. And that’s okay, because I’m mad at you too, mad that you cared, and that sometimes things...

Me: Yes! It's just - I think they're scones.
Stephanie: They are. They're scones.
Me: How did I make accidental scones?
Stephanie: I don't know... but they taste good.

Choc cake/van filling/choc ganache/white squiggle.
We sat in Union Square, perched on those steps, the ones in the middle that are barely steps at all, sharing a cupcake and watching a brass band play. I thought how we used to do things like this, back when all I did was work and maybe not work. I didn’t do anything else, except maybe write and bake. All my friends were in school and all the men I tried out weren’t in school and I was...

Why I love Ethan Hawke the way I do.
his front teeth
he named his kid Clementine
I mean, come on people, really
every character he’s ever played
how when he looked at me tonight

I purposely sucked in the smoke from his cigarette
if loving Hawke is wrong, then I don’t want to be right
