We were always getting away with something, which implied that someone was always watching us, which meant that we were not alone in this world.
Miranda JulyI actually don't have a great surplus of ideas. Some evolve very slowly, over many years, but I sort of trust that all of the interesting ones will become something that I eventually end up doing.
Miranda JulyI'm always just trying to get the work done so that I can be free - like, with the sense that, like, the real me has no interest in this? I just gotta do it for my boss. But the catch is that I'm never free, I never finish the work, so I don't know who this freewheeling employee with extracurricular interests is.
Miranda JulyI really did not feel okay about any of this, and there was really nothing I could do about any of it.
Miranda JulyLA isnโt a walking city, or a subway city, so if someone isnโt in my house or my car weโll never be together, not even for a moment. And just to be absolutely sure of that, when I leave my car my iPhone escorts me, letting everyone else in the post office know that Iโm not really with them, Iโm with my own people, who are so hilarious that I canโt help smiling to myself as I text them back.
Miranda JulyI mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions. When you're physically interacting with someone, it forces you to be more present and probably a little more uncomfortable. You have to tolerate being outside the comfort of your own home.
