I just realized something a little ironic. Alex claims that she is her happiest when in her city, her shop to be more exact. Yet, people around her city think she's a creep and a freak because of the voodoo, at least in her city. So even though she's to forever be set apart from most other New Orleanians, she's happiest there. Well, unless she's lying, which she is, sense we know she hates being alone. So she's also got to be lying to herself a little there.
