    I love it! Surprisingly, we have a lot of the same goals when it comes to travel, writing, and adventures. Hey, shouldn't you cross off the Neil Gaiman one now? Oh- and is a library cat just what it sounds like?

  • Christiana Krump

    I will as soon as I'm up for writing the Neil Gaiman blog post. I've been sick and school is starting.And yes, a library cat is JUST as it sounds. I want a cat who takes up residence in my own personal library. :-)Why's it surprise you that we have some similar goals? You think we lived together for three years because we're totally incompatible or something. (Fair warning, if you say yes I'm going to cry in the corner).
