Everyone’s so literal…
So, I post the thing about moving to NYC and now, no matter what I say or do, everyone hooks it together. I mention going on a date, and it’s “what if it works out? you’re moving…”
Yikes.
As any reader of this blog should know, when I write stuff here, it is true in the exact moment it is written (hello?! How many times has the book almost been ready to be finished up?)
Will I move to NYC? I’d like to. It’s something I’m seriously thinking about.
But if I meet a boy, find a great apartment, stand to make millions at a great startup, have Stanford green light me for the writing fellowship for which I applied, and on and on and on, then I’ll be here a while.
Right now, I’m single, unemployed, and working on my novel. If that continues on for a while, I can move that situation anywhere I want, and NYC is the place I would choose. But, that’s a long way off, and to quote famous New Yorker John Lennon: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
So, any shy boys looking for a date, getting all worried I’ve got a plane ticket all lined up… give me a reason to stay.

[...] I want to apologize in advance for a post I made a while back, entitled Everyone’s So Literal, which made it seem like I was still up in the air about going to NYC. I’m not. I’d say it’s like 85 percent pretty likely to occur. But, I had just sent out some job resumes out and I figured it would look bad if, when they hit my website, there were references to me wanting to live in NYC in a few months, so I wanted to downplay it. That would be the post where some friends came in and posted comments, though, so I’ll leave it there. [...]
