Worth it.
Most human beings are driven to seek security and comfort. But there is another group that can only thrive on change and the unexpected of New York.

Late for my flight because I couldn’t leave Texas without an emergency stop at Taco Bueno.
Last night we sat up going through old photos of Grandmommy for the memory board. This one of her and my grandpa on their wedding day is my absolute favorite.

En route to Grandmommy’s. Probably not the best idea to be driving and blogging.
Landed in Dallas around midnight and was welcomed with this lovely wine and cheese spread at Caitlyn and Ashley’s apartment. We haven’t all been together in over two years, so obviously that called for two bottles of wine and five hours worth of catching up.
Today I’m off to Morgan for my grandma’s 90th birthday. Look out, Texas drivers. I’m just as terrible at driving as I was when I lived here.

- me: It's day four of work and I still haven't gotten my act together.
- me: I just accidentally filed my timesheet on a food tray.
- Sara: I can't even fathom how you get yourself into these situations.
Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for religion — we protect religion. And talk about a lifestyle choice — that is absolutely a choice. It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else.

The cast of Glee was at MTV studios yesterday to film a segment of It’s On with Alexa Chung. I accidentally walked in on their photo shoot on my way to the bathroom and got to say hi very briefly. I then proceeded to skip and squeal all the way back to my cubicle, informing everyone I passed along the way. Just another day at the office!
In other news, I am absolutely loving my new job. In fact, it doesn’t even feel like work — I’m just enjoying learning all the ropes. And my coworkers are super nice and have made me feel incredibly welcome, even when I take too long in the break room trying to figure out how to make my fifth cup of coffee for the day.
Michelle Obama’s dating advice: “When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than, you should never doubt yourself. … Find that person that brings you complete and utter joy with who you are at the moment.”
Love her.

New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But there is one thing about it — once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.
— John Steinbeck, 1953 (via sarakatherine)
A crowd has gathered in the 42nd Street subway station to hear a rousing rendition of “Hey Jude.” I stopped for a few minutes to watch, because I’m still a tourist.

I was enjoying a lovely Saturday afternoon at the Madison Square market when a herd of zombies showed up and started grabbing and growling at me. I am now terrified and running home. New York, I love you. Halloween? Not so much.
