Reading: Housekeeping by Marilynn Robinson
Listening: Neutral Milk Hotel Two Headed Boy

Right now I am at work and I just want to go home. I was just looking at an old acquaintances pictures from when she made Aliyah (moved to Israel) and, in combination with a discussion earlier today I am feeling nostalgic and homesick. Homesick for a place that isn't home? It's weird, to feel ninety percent perfectly happy in one place, but the pull of that ten percent, sometimes it just eats me up inside, quietly, and when I don't really notice it. When I'm there I miss here, and when I'm here I miss there, and there's really no two ways about it, my body can only be in one place at a time, and there is a world of adventure waiting for me.
