Last night Psycho Knight and I were having a conversation about some of my friends coming over. He said that if my ex EVER finds out where we live and shows up that there will be big issues. I got to thinking about our house and where it is. Only 4 people in my circle know exactly where I live; my parents, The Bestie, and Jules. No one else really knows more than that we are north of the river.
It’s an odd thing not having anyone know where to find me. It makes me feel very safe. As in the case of my ex; I don’t really put it past him not to show up unannounced, but the only people that know how to get to my house will never be in contact with him.
I know I have bitched about feeling secluded up here by myself there is a huge part of me that is grateful for having my home being so unknown. Before PK and I started dating I would go to his apartment to hide. No one knew where I was or how to find me. It’s kind of that same situation still, especially living with him. He has always been a safe place to hide from the world where nothing can hurt me. Every time I would walk into his old apartment I would breathe a sigh of relief because at that moment the world didn’t exist.
Sometimes I find myself kind of anxious for even my parents to come over; like somehow they are infiltrating my fortress and letting the rest of the world in with them. When I wrote This House Tucked In I think I was starting to feel at home in my new home and now I’m realizing that I am home, and that this is where I belong.

Encounters at Chipotle
After the big Halloween thing at church yesterday, my friend Jules and I went to Chipotle for some much needed sustenance. We had a lovely lunch and were discussing how to fix the world when this little skinny guy in a Chipotle shirt came up to us and asked if he could talk to us.
First he asked if we believe in God. I asked which one. Then I told him that I tend to follow a Pagan path and that's where us all went to hell. He told me that Pagan only means that you believe in multiple gods. First off, that is the definition of polytheism, not Paganism and I told him this. Then he told me that the reason I don't believe in his god is because I hadn't had my revelation yet.
It's very hard to explain to someone that won't listen that I have in fact had my revelation, it just wasn't the same as his. Apparently, he "lived a life of sin" (whatever that means) and he found Jesus. I asked him why I am supposed to ask forgiveness for sins that I do not believe in. Because the Bible says so.
He told us that he believes in "The Truth" not science. We were sitting by a window and I asked him if it was real; he said yes. Then I asked him if the bible said it was not real, would he believe it. He said yes. So if the bible says it, it must be completely true. Jules asked him if he could survive being swallowed by a whale; as it turns out, he thinks he could if he prayed.
He told us that we are probably going to hell because I believe a lie and Jules isn't trying to shove shit down my throat so she obviously doesn't care about Jesus either. And heaven is in the sky and from what I gathered from what he was saying, hell is the Earth's core.
The bible is not open to interpretation, everything is word for word, so I asked if I should even be allowed to talk about religion since I'm female. He said yes, because the bible is interpreted differently now.
This lovely boy made the mistake of telling us him name. When we left I told him that maybe while he was on the clock and still in uniform, he shouldn't talk shit on other peoples religious beliefs.
We called his manager and totally ratted him out, hopefully he got fired. This whole thing just made my day because he is so ignorant, that he didn't even notice the 15 times we turned his words back on him.
Screwing with the mundane is just way too much fun.
