AAAAAAAUUUUGH I don’t like NJ. I’ve never been a fan of NJ, even when I lived there. Or maybe ESPECIALLY when I lived there. By far, the WORST things about New Jersey are all related to driving – the DMV, the interstates, the traffic, the auto insurance rates, etc. But OH MY GOD, this has  [click to continue reading...]

@tollers 17 boxes so far. I keep thinking I’m making progress and then turn around and realize I’ve only done 1/3 of the apartment. I seem to have hit an “I don’t know what to do now” place in my packing. Urgh. @tollers I can’t get random yet. I haven’t done my fragile stuff. overwhelmed  [click to continue reading...]

I’m definitely thinking of resdesigning in the near’ish future, but what about renaming?

I love NYC because there is so much to do, so many interesting people, and everything is open 24 hours. I hate NYC because the only time it isn’t too crowded to enjoy is super late at night. I skip things I would like, because of the crowds. I love the lack of scary things  [click to continue reading...]
