I like to think of myself as a friendly person. I like the idea of knowing my neighbors. If I needed to borrow an egg or a half a cup of sugar. If I was in need of help I would like to think I could go to a neighbor in case of any minor or even a major emergency. I would be happy to do any of these things for my neighbors. Wouldn’t you?

I had the weirdest dream: I’m sharing a couch in a hotel bar with “I Just Want to Pee Alone” NYT Bestselling Author, Jen Mann. Our conversation meanders from our mutual admiration for Hugh Howey to me giving her shit about the fact that her rental car has manual roll-down windows.
