What do you do to cure homesickness?

Or missing people in general; I'm not too particular.

Try to care about things less. I find that works for most problems.

I have to say I have not had great experience with that method. Maybe it's a lack of practice?

Being two beers in at all times helps to prevent the caring from taking hold, but it's not for the weak. I can also recommend just being better than everyone and everything else.

[She's helping!!]

[ you sound like a young american version of her grandma and that's weird ]

Is there a step-by-step guide to that?

Yes, it's called "How To Quit Giving So Goddamn Many Fucks About Pointless Shit That Isn't Worth Your Fucking Time" by Penelope Lane, age eight. Amazon e-books. Straight to your kindle, $29.95. Only instead of ordering it from Amazon you have to just physically give me the money, it's totally weird, I can't explain it.

I think we have an ideological disparity here, but if I had money, I would absolutely buy your childhood masterpiece.

Your theoretical support of my creative endeavors is both noted and appreciated! Obviously not as much as if you had given me money but whatever, I'm not picky.

[Penelope is SUPER picky. Who is she actually kidding.]

Seriously, though, try to immerse yourself in your goals. It might not like, lessen your homesickness, but having something you're striving for is pretty good at tempering the utter despair and loneliness or whatever.

[ kind of a super-Russian hmmm noise ]

It would alleviate the worry that the homesickness would interfere with my work, yes. Most people who live in New York tell me it's the best place in America, and if I looked harder, I'd find something to appreciate about it.

[ mostly she's just like :S I MISS THE FROZEN ARCTIC because she grew up darting between chukotka and nome in alaska. it makes no sense to prefer the tundra, but she does. ]

Hahahaha no. New York smells like piss and a single-serving bottle of orange juice is like $8.00. Fuck New York. If it weren't one of the major fashion capitals of the U.S. I'd say raze it to the ground and start the fuck over because it is obviously a failed-ass experiment in megalopolis couture or whatever.

And I like cities.

What city do you like better?

Are we talking like, North America? Or worldwide? Because Canada's got some pretty good big cities, but that's just like a very small section of the cool places in the world. Proportionally.

Seattle is kind of cool if you don't mind the shit weather.

America. Canada is not very safe where I come from — which is not to say America is, but it has at least one or two cities left.
