I caught myself crooning "Feed me, Seymour!" at my desk a little bit ago, and decided that I probably should go do that.
In conclusion? Bacon is the bestest thing ever.
Right. Sir. Honey.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think they're just that way. I mean, this is the city that inspired Kafka.
And so freaking quiet on public transit.
We got yelled at for laughing on the train once!
I went to Spain in the middle of my time there and was mentally shrieking most of the time because every.single.human was invading my space and touching me and leaning on me and uhhhng!
I had similar experiences. One when I went to Munich for the weekend and a cashier smiled at me, I practically welled up with tears because it was a pleasure I had completely forgotten about. I had a moment of "he must really like me!" The other, I spent my spring break in Florence and it seemed like everyone was having an argument because they were Talking So Loud!

Mostly I remember the bold eye contact of women in Paris. Unafraid, unguarded. Very different from NYC or London where I'd just been.

Ahahahaha! Yes. Did you have the pleasure of being in Prague when the spring tourist season started? Dear lord. We could identify nationalities from across the river/square/whatever. It was funny and sorts horrifying. And apparently I became as dour and sullen because czechs would complain to me about the damn tourists. It was amusing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Calling all cooks! I need a good apple pie recipe. Anyone?? (x-posted w/Bitches)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Mallory is indeed a cutie.
I love the "dingo snack" shirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My experience with Russian guys is that they've been incredibly unhesitant about saying things that were on their mind to people (aka me) they didn't know. Not particularly loudly, or anything. Just things that probably would have been said loudly, aggressively, daringly by a north American, if they were going to bother.
