WORDS FROM KRISTIN: "If you watch your friends carefully, sometimes you'll notice their features beginning
to change; curling up into themselves, looking within rather than without. Hurt feelings or a distracting life event may precede
this - sleepy disappointment, confusion. Sometimes your friend will accomplish something really impressive and then their
features fall into themselves because the person feels finished. Or would like to before he or she gets boring or fucks up
again. This would never happen to, say, a seagull. Seagulls don't stop looking around with their shiny opaque discs. God knows
what they see. Everything, I guess. And bags of McDonalds. If a seagull stopped looking without, it'd starve to death. We
like to feel more complex than seagulls, though this allows for a host of icky ailments to take root. Anyway, snapping your fingers in front of a
friend's face could wake them up. "I'll snap you out of it!" you think and grab their face with a Welcome to Earth grin. Show
'em something majestic, play 'em a big, fat song. Make 'em think you like 'em more than you do 'cause you actually do as
it turns out. I love when this works. I hate it when it doesn't. When it works, it's because you were sharp enough to call
their bluff; when it doesn't, your friend's face melts in your grasp and their blurry features begin to resemble those of
a blind cave fish. "Seagull's better," you murmur helplessly, as your friend slips away. Love, Kristin"
