#pat also, even though she's a total flake, pat can sometimes be really supportive. Like when I was trying not to drink so much, and I was over at her house and everything was shitty and I had just heard about one more shitty thing\* and I was like, I need a drink, and I was lifting the bottle when she grabbed it, and so I drank air, and she said, *You desperately want to alter your consciousness because you're not happy with how things are right now, but you can find other ways to relax and then you might even be able to change how things are right now.* (2014)
