i stayed with my friend c
while planning on meeting my sister for lunch the next day, i put out the subway map...
and what do you know but good ole' kitty said, "no! you shall not look at manhattan!" and laid right on top of the island.


i gave up and looked it up the next day because i know my place and i know his place and his place was on manhattan
