Outside is a dangerous place full of muggers, insane homeless people and panhandlers. I fear the outside

and these folk, always come and bother me, as if they smell my fear. Always. They are usually taken aback when I react a bit more aggresive than they expected (thinking I would just pander in and give money etc) but still.

Fuck outside. Home is the place to read.

>> No.10480514

>>10480504
I'm the opposite. I like going outside during the warmer months, so what ends up happening is that I read more during the colder months.

I end up associating cold with reading more, like hibernation.
