When I get to Boston I'll be lost and broke, I'll be couch-surfing and filling out job applications. Things could get screwed up. If I can't get a job, if I can only get a horrible minimum-wage job, if the apartments are too expensive or have horrifying roommates, if I spend every Friday night alone, if I don't know how to get around or what to do--I'll be a long way from home."<br /><br />Y'know, this is actually the first entry in your blog that I ever read, I think, after Drew sent me the link (saying something like "this chick is completely fucking crazy, you'll like the blog"). After I read it for a while and started to enjoy your writing/gray matter processes, I heard you were moving here. This entry has been banging around in the back of my head for a while since then... and I thought, 'well, I'll wait until she's settled in, and blogged about a particularly busy weekend of kink or whatever, and then remind her of it.'<br /><br />I kinda forgot about it, and then for some reason thought about it -- purely randomly -- today, when I surfed your blog for updates (and amusingly enough, it turns out that I was actually THERE for your recent Weekend O' Hatchetry, WATFO?). <br /><br />So go back and re-read your entry above (esp. the part I copied, you at your most anxious) now, six months later. How are you feeling these days, you big, bright, shining Social Butterfly & Queen of Sexual Perversion? :)<br /><br />(I feel like I should be talking to Dirk Diggler's cock -- "You're am a star. You're a star, You're a star, You're a star. You're a big, bright, shining star. That's right.").<br /><br />JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-52989271012663262072010-01-12T07:52:01.679-05:002010-01-12T07:52:01.679-05:00I'm Boston born and raised, and your best bet ...I'm Boston born and raised, and your best bet is to actually move to Southern New Hampshire and just accept the commute. <br /><br />I love Boston as a city, but you couldnt get me to put up with the taxes and the political climate for anything at this point.AnarchAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447178964096399015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-70810112185437721942010-01-08T09:10:54.563-05:002010-01-08T09:10:54.563-05:00I'll hang out with you if you can't find a...I'll hang out with you if you can't find anything to do on Saturday nights (I have to work Fridays).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-47653515918445072242010-01-05T02:20:26.247-05:002010-01-05T02:20:26.247-05:00Good for you, Holly!

Do it while you're still unencumbered by other obligations, 'cause you will run out of time for this sort of thing.<br /><br />I lived in the Berkshires when I was in MA, and I loved it. Only got to do a few months there, and only a couple days in Boston-- I could have easily spent a LOT longer there. <br /><br />I moved around to a lot of other places too, mostly for my work. I used to be in a field that required a lot of travel and frequent job changes. It was actually a pretty great opportunity when I was younger. It was a lot easier in that I always had a job already when I got there, but I think I'd still do it again in a heartbeat even if I had to move and then job hunt once I got there.Flitternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-82589156432266730132010-01-05T00:08:06.899-05:002010-01-05T00:08:06.899-05:00zeeke42 - Which burb?

To be honest getting out of the burbs is one of my goals (I live 35 min from Seattle now and it's kind of a pain) but if you'd be okay with a shorter-term lease it might work out.

Also, buy any pistols you want before you move.<br /><br />Whether you get to carry depends entirely on what town you live in. My town issues permits to everyone who qualifies. Boston proper emphatically does not.zeeke42https://www.blogger.com/profile/13782810414231954138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-68881662109906393332010-01-04T15:32:51.034-05:002010-01-04T15:32:51.034-05:00At least Boston's totally badass.

Down here I'm waiting on my Cosmo license to transfer before I can work and I'm living with my boyfriend in his father's house. It's tough and I miss the people in NY something terrible at times, but it's a new start, and knowing that, feels good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-23916537514549430642010-01-03T11:50:53.579-05:002010-01-03T11:50:53.579-05:00Man, I just can't imagine anyone who likes gun...Man, I just can't imagine anyone who likes guns moving <b>to</b> MA.

I always want to explain that it <i>used</i> to be just a regular suburb, it was like a slightly nicer Kirkland or Issaquah or whatever, and it was only around 2000 that the plague of Valley Girls and Real Housewives took over.<br /><br />I have to admit though, I lived in LA for a while and I didn't like that much either. I guess some of the outlying areas are decent but I found LA-metro itself to be a rather unpleasant divide between "filthy, crowded, and high-crime" or "$5000/month, 1br 1ba."Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-45344544534982680392010-01-02T22:12:26.777-05:002010-01-02T22:12:26.777-05:00This is absolutely perfect description of why I mo...This is absolutely perfect description of why I moved to LA a few years ago, and how it felt.
