sorcyressOne year ago today, it was 2008, and I went over to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jere7my and adfamiliares's house in order to watch bad movies for the very first time!
(Snarking movies with jere7my is one of those things I try to do at least once a month or so. I credit this awesome habit with giving me understanding of the mbta bus system. Did you know that the 86 goes in two different directions? I do now!)
More interestingly, I spend a good amount of entry babbling about the fact that j7y's house feels like The Empty City --that house in Maryland that I grew up in. Subsequent visits over there hasn't changed this fact.
Nothing I've found in Boston serves as a perfect recreation of The Empty City. There is this permanent feel of fandom that it needs, and lots of people just showing up, and just a feeling that, no matter when you go over there, there will be interesting people doing interesting things.
Dan4th's house is probably the closest I've got now, there or the Big Blue House in Milford. Just...constant Things going on and people and happiness and animals and lots of conversation and laughter...it's what makes a place feel like Home to me.

MOOP!
