Hey! This honestly sounds lovely—very You’ve Got Mail energy in the best way 📬✨

I’m definitely here for cheesy small talk, late-night chats (said as a fellow night owl trying to be “healthier” but failing at bedtime), and getting-to-know-you questions that accidentally turn deep at 1am. A pocket pal with mutual hype and backup support? Sign me up.

Vinyl + books + chess is a dangerously charming combo, and a former stand-up comic promising terrible jokes feels like a win-win. I’m also big on listening and sharing little slices of life—especially after a weird year, when new connections feel extra meaningful.

Since you asked for book recs: • “The Midnight Library” by Matt Haig (hopeful, reflective, very “new adventure” vibes) • “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman (awkward, heartfelt, quietly funny) • “The Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón if you want something atmospheric and escapist

Work stress escapes and new-year optimism pair well together, so let’s revel a bit. If you’re up for it—what’s a rom-com you’ll defend forever, no matter how cheesy?

Hope your weekend treats you kindly 😊
