![]() So I'm in Portland now - I've been here for a week and have just under 3 more to go. It's not a bad city - there are interesting things to see and lots of good food to eat. But it's just not NY. It's slow here. And things close early. People say hello and ask how I'm doing even though I've never seen them before and that totally catches me off guard and makes me suspicious of them. I also still have yet to figure out what people do - it seems no one goes to work. I go to coffee shops at 2:30 and they're filled with people. Now, I'm all for going to a cafe or something to hangout for a couple hours and relax, but that gets old really quick. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I actually miss work. But who I miss the most is TonyB and our kitties. Portland is overrun by cats - adorable kitties on every sidewalk that can't wait for you to pet them. That's really cute and all, but that too gets old quick. Friendly cats are a dime a dozen here. My kitties back home are a challenge - they don't give away their affection for free. And I don't have a TonyB to come home to every day and hug and snuggle with and that makes me the most sad.

![]() San Francisco is a days drive south. I know it's not NY. It's a city though, a constant face paced place with things to do. Maybe a visit might make you feel better. People go to work, coffee shops are open, there are all the different types of people and animals of all walks of life.
I know how it feels to miss home. I feel for you. | ||||||||

![]() that's funny that you say that because i used to live in portland (originally from chicago) andi thought the same thing. everyone was so nice and polite i was not used to it. for example no one honks there horn, and says hello, etc... i enjoy the anonymity of being one of several million people in a major city....which is why i eventually moved back to chicago.

![]() Don't worry, I'm keeping your NYC warm for you while I miss my Boston for the next couple months. *Hugs* I feel that home sickness thing. I don't mind NYC, it's not really my speed, I prefer Boston or London. Mostly I just don't have a support system here. But I will have a job at St. Marks Comics soon. Woot.

![]() Today has been a kind of less than stellar day for me. I'm really over tired from going to the coast yesterday and am only just now getting my first cup of coffee (it's nearly 3pm and I've been up since 6:30). Also, my best friend who was visiting just left so that left me all sad. And to make things even more fun, I'm about to get my period so I'm all overly emotional. And now that I've typed all of this out, I realize I sound really whiny. So I'm going to finish up doing stuff online and head outside and find something to entertain me. | |||||||||
