"So I'm moving to New York cuz I've got issues with my sleep. Looks like Christmas came early..."

I have had this post lined up since I started this blog.

If someone were to ask me when it was decided that I was moving to New York, I'd probably say since kindergarten when we were asked to draw pictures of ourselves and what we maybe wanted to be when we grew up. Tough question for a kid, right?. Being the adorable 5 or 6 year old that I was, I wrote down, "I want to be a docter. I want to live in New York or Los Angeles with my friends and family." Though I misspelled doctor, I have *never* wavered in any of my goals since. I'm pretty stubborn. Yeah, I've done a lot of other things too, but I make my life happen in the way that I so choose. And finally, after years of hanging out here anyway and having strangers (and people I know) tell me that I seemed like I was from the city or belonged in it, I moved to New York.

If someone were to ask me when it was decided with whom I was going to be living, I could not really begin to tell you. I know it was probably already set in place during our inseparable period of sophomore and junior year in college but neither he nor I can pinpoint that exact moment when one of us had an overhead lightbulb epiphany and said aloud, "we should live together." Maybe neither of us ever said anything. It could very well have been one of those ideas that both of us just happened to have at the same time and felt like it was in place all along. It was just very much understood that we were going to live together and then when we got a place that was distinctly ours it would look like fabulousity squared. Bunches of others had invited me to live with them over time, but I always refused, because there was something about our unspoken agreement that had the distinct feeling of being something great. And lo and behold, after a year, here I am and we are already having so much fun. Yay!

So here's the song I've had picked out since I realized I was moving in. After that is the Wombat's latest single, which oddly enough is titled, "Let's Dance to Joy Division." And one ofJoy Division's songs, coincidentally, being the ringtone for my roommate. See! It all comes full circle!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

You have never wavered in your plans. Well, well well. That lovely 6-year old girl wrote New York OR Los Angeles.
So don't discount the power of the west coast just yet.

This will help you to alter the quantity of blur easily and allow camera
make other critical decisions when you are shooting. Of course, choosing a camera body doesn't lock you into only using lenses by that manufacturer, as there are several good third-party lens makers producing quality lenses for both Canon and Nikon cameras. This will be indicated if you receive an error on the LCD; "CARD IS NOT FORMATTED" or "OUT OF MEMORY"or "NO CARD PRESENT".

A fast and practical netbook that may be for the more.
5 hour battery life you aren't going to find anything that lasts longer on one charge and is still able to offer a full range of applications and net connectivity. With built-in Adobe Flash support and a great browser, my children have complete access to their documents, calendars, email, and entertainment.

Many homes have fireplaces for both warmth and decor.
This removes mold, dirt, fungi or other debris from entering the home.
Look for bargains, when buying expensive things that you need.

mod files to acceptable videos by most media player including i - Phone, i - Pod,
Apple TV, PSP, Zune, Blackberry, Creative Zen, etc with no quality
loss. s time to prop up the bottom of the Apple - TV and expose all of its
internals. One of the biggest changes is the fact that
Apple has removed the permanent storage (hard drive)
from the device.
