Hello all...
Quick update on little old me (as I'm pretending as if any of you care):
- I'm in love with Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. Nice combination of urban / suburban / residential. Out of all the parts of Boston I've been in so far, this place feels the *most* comfortable to me.
- I've finally sworn off cynicism. My fear, all along, was that I would be unhappy wherever I lived. Of course, I thought this while living in Michigan, which really does epitomize the 1980s term, "rust belt." Now that I've moved out here in Boston, I realize that it wasn't me...it was Michigan. I feel much more idealistic about the future.
- I do not have a car out here, and I do not miss it. I actually feel far more accomplished walking and taking trains / subways to wherever I want to go. Eventually, I do plan on bringing my car out here, but that is only for when I wish to travel further than the train lines.
- It is oddly refreshing living "primitively"--no phone, no cell phone, no cable, no internet. In fact, I'm using a pay station at Kinko's in Harvard Square currently. I'm finding that my usual indecision is getting in the way: I have shopped around to so many providers, and I've still gone nowhere. However, I think I've run out of options, with the best deals becoming really evident.
Well, that's all I was pondering currently. I don't know when I'll be back to post regularly; but I'm sure it will happen once I finally do reconnect to the rest of the world and have internet at home.
Now that I've thoroughly bored you all with the trivialities of my life, continue on with the regular forum chaos.
