So I didn't make any New Year's resolutions this year (I thought there would be too many and the idea depressed me), but I made some new year's
missions, one of which is to write in my already-existing blog. Considering that I already took the time to create a profile and I can't even use the excuse that I forgot my password since it let's you sign on with your gmail account -- I really have no excuses. And everyone keeps telling me to keep one... especially if I want to be a "writer," which I'm not really sold on either. (But I am excited about the free fiction-writing class I'm taking tomorrow night with two "writer" friends who agreed to be dorky with me.) I love how NYC is full of free things. It's ironic, considering that the cost of living there is so expensive. But I came up with this crazy way to rationalize the cost when I can finally afford to shell out for rent, which consists of dividing it by all of the free things I go to so that it doesn't seem so bad. In New York, you're really paying for accessibility... not the crappy apartments that everyone embraces as home.
Speaking of home, mine is still at my original home... which is not where I expected to be in 2010. That being said, I made a list on the train today to remind myself of the perks. Read on if you need some reminding. Included but not limited to are:
- delicious meals (at least in my house)
- a family membership to the gym
- unlimited internet access
- a TV
- ability to do laundry whenever I want
- more time to read
- pets to play with
- car to drive
So reading it over now it sounds like slightly lame... but when you think about all of the horrific things going on in the world, it's actually not bad at all...
