Poor Man's Half-Dozen

Were you looking for any of these?

1) trip planner with directions to Mordor ala Mapquest.

2) flashcards for memorizing reactions

3) people too weak to live in this city: Matt and 601.

4) the unguarded diary of a post teen (DELPHIC_DAYS) who does sound tough enough to thrive in New York and may be the female Bukowski of librarians.

5) a girl who has an ex boyfriend that she can still manipulate and that she seems to even still live with. And she loves. But he's the ex. Oh the pain to watch this from outside.

Hi Evan,

I respectfully disagree with your assessment. If I am too "weak" to live in New York City, do you have a suggested date by which I should move on? Also, can you possibly suggest a city where I might be more comfortable? Would Columbus, Ohio be ok? ScaryNY is not about cowering in fear of crime. It's about showing that bad things can sometimes happen to good people. Also (and I need to make this clearer) showing that New Yorkers are well over the fear of terrorism.

Either way, thanks for reading and the link.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Evan,

I'm guessing you don't read my blog too often so I'll give you a few facs about this painful to "watch from the outside" story:

a) He broke up with me: http://www.ashidome.com/blogger/housearrest_link.asp?c=559
b) For some odd reason he still cares an awful lot about me: http://www.ashidome.com/blogger/housearrest_link.asp?c=588
c) We're living together until I can save up the money to move out (e.t.d. june)
d) The "manipulative" post was written in jest because *he* didn't want to go to the event in question. I wrote the post in a "tongue in cheek" way that my regular blog readers would recognize. I even cleared it with him (via IM) before posting it. He laughed and said it was pretty funny. I guess my humor wasn't as recognizable as I thought.
e) Yes, I still love him.

Oh, and if you come up to date, you'll find that I purchased tickets to New Orleans for the both of us: http://www.ashidome.com/blogger/housearrest_link.asp?c=590

So, if you were thinking that he's being taking advantage of, well...
