Places take a while before they become "home". I lived in my old apartment in Brooklyn for over 2 years before I started to think of it as "home". Until then it was just a temporary place to stay. Even after that, it still wasn't _mine_; there was only so much I could do to it, and I didn't like it that much.

For me, it went through the phases of "a place to stay", "my space", "my home".

What frustrates me the most is I look back and I realize nothing's ever felt like "home." But yeah, it's a matter of time...

I just want you to know that, on Friday, I had to exert superhuman effort in telling you to stop worrying about getting there...because no matter where you go, there you are. But I was pretty sure you would rip out my spleen with your bare hands and eat it raw.

(I don't understand directional discomfort. I've always loved noodling around with maps and stuff, so figuring out where I'm meant to be going is fun, not to mention second-nature. Which is not to say I don't have episodes of spaz when I'm supposed to be getting to some track in some station and the interior signage is crap, but that's not so much a navigational problem. If it's any comfort, though, Steve never has the least idea where he's going either, and he also tends to get immoderately worked up about it.)

Putting aside anxieties, you know me. You've seen my place in the universe as a Chaos Magnet in action. The things that I've come across while lost (particularly in urban areas) are ridiculous. So my brain floods me with scenarios I and I drown in them. Then I can't think clearly (or even talk clearly). You've seen it.

I'm not old enough to have helpful life advice here, but I do think the phrase “Et in Arcadia ego” should have been involved in this post somehow.

That should have been the title of the post!

Damn. Oh well. Next time.
