Things I thought I would never say… then I moved to NYC Posted on 1 September 2012 by LisaCornellBrown Leave a comment I feel like a bad ass chillin’ on my stoop, like I’m one of the cool kids from Hey! Arnold. I live in a fifth-floor walk-up. The 75 stairs to my apartment really aren’t that bad. Space is completely overrated. Times Square is the blackhole of New York. I am not sure how I will ever be able to leave this city (New York). It would be unfair for me to have a dog. Anonymity is the best. I love froyo, and we are not talking about TCBY. I use to be all about Pinkberry but then I discovered tasti-D-lite. I feel like I’m trapped on an un-deserted island. I do not miss driving. Walking is far superior. No, you cannot wear sweatpants to Bloomingdale’s. I learned how to properly pronounce my last name from a South African fellow on my birthday. I do not exist for you (at street harassers). I don’t “do” Brooklyn. I lived in the hood, down the street from a drug den. We are talking Jay-z/Biggie Smalls Bed-Stuy. I am pretty much a professional exterminator at this point. I have the best roommate that I have ever lived with… and I found her on craigslist. I got a steal on my apartment. I only pay $900 in rent per month. Which bridge? I paid someone to do my laundry. Never date anyone that lives in Jersey ever. People think it is weird that I have milked goats. I have been to more gay bars in this city than any other kind of bar. I am considering becoming a nude model for art classes. Why can’t people just curb their dog? I give them some seriously nasty glares. I am getting use to the smell of the city. I love opera. Have you seen La Traviata? I am going to just run to the bodega around the corner. I have had toilet paper delivered… with dinner. How can you not love this city? Be careful, eye contact can be an act of overt aggression. I have jaywalking down to an art form. I hate the streets with names. Who thought that was a good idea? Any of you out there in cyberspace have something to add? Share this:Like this:Like Loading...
