Patton Oswalt

And then, so that's why I was so happy to hit numbness.

And I was like, I'll live here forever.

I'll take numbness over terror.

And then it just turned into meeting someone who I was not, again, I wasn't, it was just, it was a weird, we had friends in common.

I didn't know who she was, but we have a friend in common, this actress, Martha Plimpton.

And my wife, Meredith Salander, they've been friends since they were teenagers, you know, like acting.

They were both child actors.

And so Martha would do these dinners where she would gather various people, different people just to bring them together and just have a salon.

Everyone just talks and meets.

And so I was invited to one and I didn't, I was traveling or something.

And then Meredith like posted or she messaged me and said, you know, that was, you missed the best fucking lasagna, dude.

And then I just said, ah, story of my life.

Maybe we'll go to Arby's or something like, just joking.

And then we would just, this is all on Facebook, just messaging back and forth for like three months.

Just, we never spoke on the phone, never met in person.

It was just somebody at the end of the day that I could talk to in the dark, lying in bed, which is what I would do with Michelle.

We just lie there and just talk in the dark and go about our day and go over our day and go over the world.

And it was just, and then that without it, without it becoming romantic or anything, it then became romantic.

Just having someone to talk to and then it turned into, and then we finally, God, I don't, we didn't meet face to face till May 20th.

And we started talking, texting on Facebook at the end of February.
