Laneia: i'm going to team pick emily gould and tao lin cooking the books
unless you want to
Riese: omg it's up
put it as from both of us
Laneia: ok
Riese: say how excitant we have been
because of our feelings for these peoples
and how these people have become in their own way a part of our friendship and working relationship and how we want to cook their books
Laneia: i've been waiting for this for either a month and a half or my entire life or both
Riese: i have been waiting for this since before tao lin was born
also since before emily gould was born, which was three weeks
between my birth and emily's birth
Laneia: i will post this chat
Riese: ok
Laneia: "in my other books there's like really long sentences and metaphors and similes and stuff."
Riese: that's true
Laneia: he bites pieces of food off and spits them into the salad
rather than chop them
with a knife
Riese: can you link me
to it
Laneia: http://www.theawl.com/2010/10/cooking-the-books-emily-gould-and-tao-lin-make-raw-salad
Riese: this picture of them together makes me feel both anxious and smiling
via the awl
Laneia: that is the feeling through the entire video
yes
Riese: this is so weird/awesome
he is so weird, i like it
Laneia: i really don't feel like he's that weird.
i feel like he's totally normal and kind of free of facade which is nice.
like how a toddler acts. not in an immature way, but in a basic way
Riese: to be fair
the concept itself might be awkward
Laneia: it is
i'm always very very surprised that it's not more awkward every time
Riese: yes
Laneia: it would be intimidating to have emily gould look at you with her giant brown eyes and ask you a question
you'd have to answer the question immediately and with people looking at you and with emily gould looking at you
for her part though, emily is very nonchalant and nice
Riese: yes, she's good at it, that's why I'm scared if I met her she wouldn't like me
no social anxiety, her eyes
