Alexander, the Pacific Northwestern absurdist.

Alexander: Once I came to accept the meaningless nature of existence, it was much easier to take pleasure in simple things. Now I’m content to see everything as my inside joke and watch the world burn from the comfort of the Pacific Northwestern Void that is Portland.

Two friends, on love.

Alexander: Love is an illusion, death is inevitable.

Cecily: Love is not an illusion. Marriage is inevitable. I will be happy.

Alexander: The very existence of love, or indeed any sentiment, is questionable. Marriage is a social construct. Happiness is rampant hedonism.
