"The only way I'll be rich and famous is if I move out of New York where the rent is not so expensive." ~ A bike rider in Central Park talking to the tourists he is cycling around today.

WORD.

On another note, I got a fun summer job today. We'll see how it pans out, but I am feeling a bit thrown off b/c I got a call from a temp agency later on in the day. The man calling was really rude when I told him I was not interested b/c I was doing this other job. He told me a college graduate would not want that type of job and when I was interested in a real job in a real office to give him a call. You know what? I have spent my whole life living by someone else's rules. When I came to NYC, I said NO MORE. I am excited about my new job and if it does not work out, then so be it, I will chalk it up to a learning experience. Nobody has the right to tell me what I should and should not be doing especially some random judgmental stranger on the other line.
