Bruno, a moral tale. Beware those who wish to protect you from people like you.

But indeed, back then Northampton and the liberal 5-college area sometimes seemed somewhat looked down upon by the small towns around it.

The first real show of Cat and Cat’s personality.

Cat’s are totally uber awesome, and they’ll be the first to tell you. :)

Allison is very goth and very badass. I love that her taxidermed poodle still kinda freaks me out.

This was an actual incident someone told me (forgot who at this point). I have no idea if the person who told it to me was the person house-sitting, if they were exaggerating, if it was a huge bathroom, or what. But it was interesting to write this behavior in my protagonist, a behavior which wouldn’t even occur to me.
