The Trouble With NYC is How WICKED it is!

So i arrived in NYC on Friday after departing Atl at 8 AM and finally arriving at Mat's at 1:45PM. It was a long journey, but I feel at home here. I have been toiling with the idea of moving here once  my roommates lease is up at the end of May. Since I am Continentally blessed and blessed with Amazing friends, i may just do that. 
When i moved to LA nothing ever felt right and i just wanted to leave or find a friend i could trust. When i moved to ATL i felt like everything felt right and even though i have had many hardships with a particular friend i have made many friends and connections that i hope to hold on to. But as the years go on something is again just not feeling right. As for NYC, lets face it, You all know that i would be perfect here. : ) It feels incredibly like home. 
On Saturday morning Mat and i tried our luck at the lottery for Wicked! tickets and with no luck of my own we got 26 dollar front row seats. And let me tell you i think i cried through 75 % of the show. Other than being yelled at for taking 3 photos, it was the best feeling actually seeing Wicked! live. 
The rest of Saturday was a bit of a blur since we wanted to stay in the city and meet up with friends and ended up hanging out in Virgin for 2 hours and watching 2 episodes of Flights of the Concord. At this time we were getting tired and irritable, but Andrew (Mat's roommate) brought us to STRAND. A discount bookstore that i could seriously spend every cent at. 
We then find a place that sold amazing Greek food for ridiculously cheap and proceed to a poetry club that Mat and i decided not to spend $5 on. Then the fun of finding the train home at 12:30 AM. The trains change on Saturday night and we knew this, too bad it took us nearly 2  hours to get home! But i loved every moment of it. Still can hear Mat saying " Turn that smile upside down!" -- Yeah we were tired. : )
Sunday we recovered and played cards with Andrew and his friend Ignacio. 
I truly love this city and really wonder if i could make it here! Because i have been able to make it everywhere else.
