Also: I think that even though I am in a very very cute house owned by a very lovely artist and even though I'm going to sleep across from a fireplace in a room filled with gorgeous paintings and off of which a large sunporch juts into a Midwestern lawn, I'm going to have nightmares about cockroaches and I blame my nemesis David Cronenberg.

But still: I do very much love going into the world and falling in love with new places and people and not even David Cronenberg can change that. It's so cool here!!
