Ahh New York.
I lived there and I was free as a bird. Metaphorically, they usually get hunted and killed or kept as pets.
I could do whatever I wanted, it would snow all the time, I had an awesome Aunt that lived with my awesome cousins. Yes, mah family is awesome.
But then, my dad owned a business in NC and now I live there. I am now home bound, can't do crap except use a computer and go outside rarely. I loved living in the city. Charlotte is just a few skyscrapers here and there with a few office buildings and then a few restaurants and then a discovery place and a stadium. I love walking around there though. You feel so free. The sad part is, I have only been there twice, well at least being able to walk around.
But then, there is one good thing, I met the most loyal friends and everything. I also discovered Blockland because of them. So it all worked out.
