But, IKEA! You at least got some meatballs out of the deal!

Heh. Meatballs.

@Matt – I expect to one day revolt and go all Thoreau style.
@Genna – I got a bed! Not the cheapest one, the SECOND cheapest one. I hear there is a HUGE difference in quality.
@Tanya – I went to the one in Brooklyn? Maybe that is also called Red Hook? Ah. So losttt.
@Cori – Fantastic advice. I have a magazine now, so I should theoretically be safe..

Aww, don’t get discouraged by NYC. I swear its a fun place. I personally like the city better at night(I guess because I like to party and drink). You will have all types of experiences, but you will learn from them. You sound like you are on the right track, esp after removing the NYC Skyline as your twitter background lol

Sounds like you’re having an interesting adventure. lol A sad, don’t look people in the eye, get lost reading advertising one.. but interesting nonetheless!

I vote give the bum grapes next time and tell him to make his own vino.

It is definitely a shocking world to a hometown girl!!! I was there once and had some creepy man actually follow me into a lady’s room (my only hope to escape him)…………..this was way back in the day…………before ‘homeless’ was ever an excuse……………it was just all skid row types and it’s a scary adjustment!!!! Good Luck and be safe!!!

Which Ikea did you go to, Red Hook?
While I heartily recommend eschewing Jersey whenever possible (and it usually is), it is good for one thing: the Elizabeth Ikea with 3.5% sales tax and free weekend shuttles to and from the City! Need I say more?

You can thank me after your first successful excursion.

Doll, we have the same stoopid rules here in London. Don’t be offering fruit to the down and outs and certainly don’t make eye contact on the tube, that way madness lies.

We can be two blondes having an adventure in two big, twin cities, hell I think we might be able to write a soap opera about it! You in?

Oh and what did you buy at Ikea?

See. That is exactly why I’m not a fan of big cities. I prefer a small town with a mercantile. where I can barter for supplies then retreat to the cabin and work on my manifesto about how Google is the Antichrist.

Your enthusiasm and optimism is commendable. Please sign me up for your luncheon.
