OH BOY!
Remember, I grew up in NYC as did all my HS friends. Amazingly, it seems more have moved from the dark side than have stayed or moved over there.
There is one girl, actually none of us are girls anymore our 35th reunion is currently being planned, who was never a “friend,” but by the middle of senior year I had absolutely NO use for. Of course looking back it was all typical petty teenage BS, but....... Anyway, from different conversations on FB, I imagine that we will get along just fine when we see each other at the reunion a year from now.
You have been here at FR for a long time, do you remember a young girl, highschool age I think, who posted here?
She was not liberal but definitely a NYer. She said that she didn't understand how people who didn't live in NYC were able to survive? NYC was the center of the universe, in her mind, and she wondered how people were able to have jobs and buy food and clothes if they didn't live in or very near NYC.
I howled with laughter and I think all I said was “honey you need to get out more”!
