NYC update

[joolz]

Yay!  I finally have an apartment.  If anyone has been following the 'Joolz moves to New York City' saga, after 4.5 months I have a job and finally have an apartment.  I move in on Saturday, and then I really will feel like I'm here and a real person, not just staying in the TV room of relatives.  It's been surprisingly good staying here.  I don't know what happened to me to make me want to be in NYC and be around people, when so much of my life has been trying to find the most isolated place possible to live.  (Small island off the west coast of Scotland, little house in the New Mexico desert, anyone?)  If there's one thing that I'm sure of, it's that life is about change.  The more you can embrace it, the better off you are.  So far so good.

This lj is supposed to be about fic and stuff, so on that note I am wondering if getting into my own place will make it any easier to actually write something.  I do have a deadline for an Eppescest challenge fic that's in like three weeks, so maybe I'll be able to focus enough to get it done (it'll be very short if it does happen).  But then I'll have Time Warner cable, high speed internet, my Netflix subscription restarted, the New Yorker magazine, and friggin' NYC to play in.  Could be more than a little distracting.  It's okay with me either way.  As I've said before, there are worse things than being too busy to write fanfic.  ;)

Hey there! Congratulations on the job+apartment acquisition; it's a pretty good combo to have in the city. Says the gal who has one of two... not panicking, not panicking... yet...

Anyway, it was great meeting you at alizarin's party last month. If you'd like to meet a few more NYC fangirls, we are having dinner this Sunday evening - the info is in my latest post. (I'm the girl with curly brown hair and much love for SGA, btw; I'm sure I could recognize you, should you decide to join us. *g*)

I actually enjoyed the unemployed part of my stay here (except for the stress). There's so much to do that's free and so wonderful to just wander around, especially in Central Park. Ah, the good old days of unemployment....

I'd love to come on Sunday! That sounds like much fun and I'll see you there, thanks!
