I guess I'll keep spending the majority of my days in my room, talking to Hiroko and Sven, who A) are about a million miles away, and B) not usually interested in talking about anything but WarCraft.
I guess I'll keep living with my mom, who has gotten to be pretty good at almost masking how disappointed she is in me.
I guess I'll keep pretending I don't see the girls who made fun of me in high school when they walk by me at the mall, pretending not to see me.
I guess I'll keep fruitlessly stalking Bradney, instead of going after the ONE guy who has ever liked me back.
You guys were right, New York isn't for me. You have to be pretty and ambitious to be successful in New York. You have to have stamina. You have be determined to make something out of yourself. You have to believe you're worth something to survive in a city that rough. It was stupid of me to think I'd even last a minute there.
Staying at home is much safer. At least I won't get hurt here, right?
I know you guys are only looking out for me. You want what's best for me. And staying home is best.
Defeated,
Earlene

I voted NYC.

My friend moved to NYC back in the summer without a job. He still doesn't have a job. It's not that you can't do it, aren't determined enough, or pretty enough. It's that now is not a good economy to be moving to a city like NY. Moving out of your mom's house, fine. Just don't go somewhere that's ridiculously expensive without the promise of a job to compensate.
Those who voted to stay and against moving to NYC need to stop trying to hold Earlene back. A new chapter for Earlene and her so-called “Modern Life” is emerging…and it's in New York. Time to let go of the old Earlene and embrace the new one! As Billy Joel would say and I’m sure Earlene would agree with and approve... "Mama if that's movin’ up then I'm movin’ out. Mm I' movin’ out, mm oo oo uh huh mm hm."
I agree with Billy Joel.
mm oo oo uh huh mm hm
NEW! YORK! NEW! YORK!
