i'm looking...
forward to the time that i'm not shocked by the roommate's cellphone (actually it isn't even a cellphone, maybe it really is b/c it has this mini keyboard) or anything jarring at all. and i'm also looking forward to when it's possible for me to tune everything out, i sorta can already but not completely. and also to when i get over this cold.
