My family was here yesterday, but I'm pretty sure they're gone now. I grabbed some dinner last night and my mom told me there was cake in the fridge. "Sweets are the last thing I need right now, I ate so much crap over the weekend." "That's okay, I'll just give it to the kids

I feel like we have very similar friends. If/When we meet I'm going to bring people with me so we can just form a little group of awesome. One of my best friends here has serious plans of moving to NYC to live with her brother after she graduates and I will be looking for excuses to visit her so...

Also, never come to the Midwest. All of our roads are like that. I mean, minus the water, we don't have water unless you drive along the Mississippi or some other river, but hey. Usually it's more corn fields and pastures to either side of the road, though, with farmhouses sprinkled here and there.

I really hope your friend has bajillions of dollars. It's so unnecessarily and retardedly expensive to live here. I remember in seventh grade when I was in life skills class, and we had to look for apartments we "wanted" in the newspaper. Studios were like $300/mo. Now you're lucky if you can find one for four times that. With what I earned at my last job, a studio apartment was worth more than me. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

The roads in the east half of Long Island are like that, and I've driven along interstates like that, too. It's just dark and road and your headlights, and it's the scariest freaking thing. And then a car comes along in the other direction and your eyes are drawn to the light, of course, but because it's so dark out, they have their brights on and you just looked dead into brights and now you can't see which is a bad thing because you're fucking driving and you're gonna crash and oh my god I think I need a paper bag to breathe into. I honestly do not understand it. And the east is densely populated compared to the west? Oh

Well apparently her brother acts on Broadway and also teaches and he has a really nice downtown apartment that's more than big enough for her to live in with him, so I think that's what she's going to do. She's a journalism student and doesn't quite know where she's going to end up quite yet, haha, but I'm hoping New York because then I can visit her and have her shepherd me around. :')

Ahaha, no worries! It's like... all that fear right there?That's what I feel when I'm in a city. There is too much going on. Everything is too close together, there's nowhere you can go to get away, there are people there always, it's stifling and claustrophobic and mildly terrifying. I'd rather someone drop me off the in the middle of a field somewhere.

Ahhhh, he made it to Broadway, that's so cool! I kinda wish I could live in Manhattan (just for the central location. I abhor it otherwise).

Ahahaha, fears are so relative. I think for me, it's that I just have to know where I am at all times. I can't tell direction in, like, Chinatown or something (tiny windy unnumbered streets EVERYWHERE), so I avoid it. I can't tell direction in a big open space because there are no landmarks. I was intensely watching a little airplane icon progress on a map of the west coast on the flight from Vancouver to LA like my life depended on it. I don't like sitting in the backseat of a car because I can't see where we're going. Things like that. but at least in a city there's always somewhere to go to get help if something happens, or shelter at the very least. if you're lost in a cornfield somewhere with no one and no cover, you're boned ... and probably axe murdered. XD
