      Eric is so amazing. One second we're both hiding from the vampires under the blanket and cracking up like best friends and the next he's looking into my eyes and telling me I'm beautiful. I love him so much. Katie has her boyfriend, her Superman, but Eric's my Spider-man because he's way cooler than Superman. Spider-man is so cool.

      Something a young woman I loved said about me

      You live in a fantasy, Eric. You think you can just do whatever you want whenever you want because you’re arrogant enough to think that you’ve got the whole universe figured out. You can’t take responsibility for a goddamn single thing, and you’re going to rot alone in that apartment because you can’t face reality.

      Another something that an older version of the same woman said about me

      My good friend Joe told me today that I was inconsistent, which I thought was funny, because I’ve had a few girls I’ve dated yell that at me mid-fight in the past. I asked him to tell me what it was that I said that was inconsistent, and he made me guess. Eventually I guessed that it was when I said ‘I’m glad those people are having a good time,’ about some people in the McDonalds we had been in earlier. He said that earlier than that, I said something like, ‘I won’t be happy until everyone is as miserable as I am.’

      My other friend, Kevin, who has known me much longer, defended me, pretty much saying stuff like, ‘It’s just Eric, though. He just does that.’ Which I do. I do just do that. A lot. I explained to Joe that in my head, the polar opposites of my emotional spectrum are always there, running constantly and consistently. What I do is I throw them both out there and watch people try to reconcile the things I say against the things I say because it amuses me.

      'That's called being inconsistent, Eric,’ Joe said.

      'I mean, in here everything's pretty consistent,' I responded.

      'Well,' Joe said, 'No one else is in there, and they won't know what's going on unless you tell them.’

      That’s when I realized he was completely right. I complain about not connecting with people, but I give zero opportunity for anyone to connect with me because I’m too busy trying to build up logic spirals and misinformation designed to disorient people. I say I don’t understand the world, but then I spend a painstaking amount of time meticulously working out how I can make my own world more incomprehensible. I am inconsistent. Hell, I might
