the players

OF MONTREAL

Big D (name inspired by Big D and the Kids Table): the heartbreak that launched a thousand posts. Holding the title of best friend and former boyfriend, he and I have gone through three best and worst years of my life… so far. Currently studying at Cornell and is AWOL most of the time.
Emo-tastic A: a close guy from back home. I’ve known A since we were 11 (and awkwardly prepubescent). Although he has finally grown out of puberty, A is still slightly awkward and has some ways to go. In a totally lovable kind of way.

OF NEW YORK CITY

Hippy-fest L: my biffle, even though she does things that often boggle my mind. Perhaps one of the first people who I am able to accept as they are, not what I want them to be.
B 2.0: has no soul, but at least a semblance of a heart. He is my statistically significant other: a guy that I share everything with except a romantic relationship.

OF BEIJING

Hipster K: K and I have been asked, multiple times, why we are such good friends. Perhaps it’s because he’s a married 22-year-old, an indie-rocker, an underground hipster… in any case, our friendship still boggles people.
Bboy A: A vegetarian break dancer? A Chinese Jew? In his own words, A contradicts himself, he contains multitudes… A student at UPenn and the boy I dated for a year, long-distance.
