The people who escape the South and Midwest (like myself) flee to the coasts - places where being liberal minded about politics, sexuality, and oh, you know, recycling a can, aren't viewed with hostility by their neighbors.

Or we, you know, find a supportive community and work for change. @@

God. It's not like the second you leave the coasts it's all "Dueling Banjos" out here.

Also, I know plenty of coastal neighbors who are hostile about those things, honestly. It's not all the West Village over here!

Srsly.

Now, I need to go home and practice my banjo and put a hate-on for liberals and gays.

Despite the fact that the move is long over, I am still trying to get rid of extra stuff (even as I buy more stuff in other areas - halloween decoration for example) - for old time's sake I thought I'd put together a list for the last few days since I was really focused on it then:

a pair of hose, a pair of shoes, a candle, a box of baker's chocolate, 3 video games, and 2 padded envelopes.

srsly srsly

oh hai, come with me to Bensonhurst please, or Bayside, or any number of neighborhoods inside the confines of big gay liberal NYC.

Also, where I live now has a better municipal recycling program than we had in NYC. just sayin.

Hey, cousin, you changed your name! Do we shorten to "Slayer" or "Shadow" 'cause damn yo name is long.

OMG Bayside. The most racist person I've ever known personally (I'm pretty sure that's still true) was from Bayside. Good times.

Um, Slayer, DUH.

Yeah, I don't know about calling anyone "slayer"!

If not here, where?
