I'm here. Good Lord, I'm here.
I'm rocking in an apartment on the Lower East Side with three other girls and it's like a mad sorority every day. Less than a week here and I've secured a short-lived temp job at a major publishing house. See also: snagged a cute orange tweedy sweater for 6 bones. I can do this, right? I can do this.
Heavens, I even have a date on Friday. A date. With a boy who seems right up my alley. He's going to grad school to be a third-grade teacher. He's an improv comedian/actor. He worked for Microsoft. He played in the snow during the blizzard. He likes playing board games. He's from Seattle. He's a good friend of Fred the (Delicious) Quizmaster from the Redhook. This could be something good. I'm trying not to get high expectations.
Bend it Like Beckham is on. I adore this movie. I like movies that're really positive about young girls figuring it out, you know? And I L-O-V-E movies about soccer. It makes me want to run out and kick around the ball right now. I left all my gear at home because I've read that soccer isn't so much a popular thing out here (at least outdoor isn't -- and indoor is SCARY). I need a new sport.
Things to find, people version:
1. Organized sports team, co-ed
2. Knitting circle
3. Pub-trivia team

It was fun, but very weird. A friend of his was murdered last night and he found out, like, on the way to our date. Wow.
