So, it had to be somewhere else, that I would actually get excited about spending my mental time. Then I remembered that I fucking hate outer space, and that the yearning to go there is something I’ve never felt or identified with, ever, because the idea of living in a tin can constantly pounded by radiation as Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis set in really freaks me out.
