c l e o hiiiiiiiii it's me. given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Cleopatra.

[Deleted]

c l e o awww i'd love to. 💕

[aaron eklund]

Aaron The lesser-known one, I hear she was a queen or something.

[Deleted]

c l e o you’re picking an ancient corpse over living, breathing me??

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Oh she stays dead? I'll go with you then. What say you?

[Deleted]

c l e o what say you, omg, who says that. i say dolly parton. would you ever want to be famous and if so, what for?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron That wasn't my real answer, by the way. Just seemed like the easier one. What are you up to, filling out a dating profile for me or something?

[Deleted]

c l e o i suspected as much. there’s this list of questions you’re supposed to ask people to make them fall in love with you, i’m using you as a guinea pig.

[aaron eklund]

Aaron It might be you who does the falling once you know my answers. I'll take being a famous craftsman if nobody ever bothers me. Make one piece a year, get paid a boat load of money for it and do what I want the rest of the time.

[Deleted]

c l e o maybe i will, since that’s a good answer. before making a phone call, do you ever rehearse what you’re going to say?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron Now I know you'd wanna be famous. But for what? Friendly calls, no. Serious or business-related, I suppose I do a little.

c l e o weirdly people think I want to be an influencer, i guess cause i moved to LA? but i don’t think i’d want to be famous, i wouldn’t deal with the hate very well. that’s so cute. do you say it out loud?

[aaron eklund]

Aaron You could be famous for being the most liked person on the planet. Just in my head. Especially if I got things to remember. I like good old-fashioned phone calls though.

[Deleted]

c l e o oh my haters would really hate that. i hate them, avoid them at all costs. what’s to like??
