This may all be strange:

• Paul Banks. The man with all the words. I love how beautiful he is now, how obvious his transformation was, in all ways and forms.
• The film, The Good Night. I thought it was depressing, but it had its ideas. It seems as though the more I imerse myself in my dreams, the more I am discontent with reality. There's something in that.
• Nick, but in a different way. He said I reminded him of himself when he was my age. I don't want to head down the path he's going. I respect, but I don't understand him. All the same, he inspires me to push myself, to be a better person.
