Get used to it
Remember how I was supposed to get a huge cost-of-living raise when I moved to New York? And how my moving expenses would be paid for? Turns out the lady who made those promises 'spoke out of turn.'
Oh yeah, and remember the sweet apartment with my old friend? Also not happening. The landlord jacked the rent up to an unreasonable amount at the last minute. I'm now on the hunt for alternative housing, with a budget that's much lower than I anticipated.
I'm not crying though, I need a little adversity. Otherwise I wouldn't be moving in the first place. I've grown fat and complacent in Boston. Do your worst, New York City!

You will eat those words and choke on them until you cough up disquieting little clots of blood. This city is tough enough, don't temp the Gods, foo.
You guys are superstitious goons. I obviously don't want the worst, I'm just trying to keep a stiff upper lip.
new york is like a stern, but wise, kung fu master, teaching you the ways of the world before you enter the dragon. if you're going to pack it up over some minor inconveniences you are not ready to 'be a new yorker'.
That sucks dude. But don't be deterred.
New York isn't all so different from the Portage metro area, it just has better public transit. When I was there, I took to forgetting which city I was in.
a- ah so.
j- danke
s- that's why I feel so well-equipped
New York Magazine's "Cheap Eats" issue just came out. I'll save my copy for you. Or pick up a fresh newsstand copy as a housewarming gift.
Promise me you'll promise the outta-turn-talker all sorts of things like cookies an' cakes and that you won't punch her in the face and then when you welch say "sorry, I spoke out of turn"
thanks c, I promise m. (was it even worth writing that? too late now.)
