In case anyone is worried, chicago has quite the little gay-villa, right in what used to be a very SWEDISH neighborhood. Badass, dude, seriously badass.
I realized today what an expedition grocery shopping can be. My aunt and I went, and it was way too much for either of us. She never does big grocery trips, but feels like she should because I'm here. I mean, we didn't actually get THAT much, but I'm used to buying, say, one can of soup when I need to go to the store. It felt like a lot of food for two people, but her fridge was essentially empty when I arrived.
