Opera wins. (My heart)

I feel like this picture is appropriate. It's not though. I'm tricking myself.

Go fiancée!

I'm putting together a list of things to accomplish in New York that I wouldn't do in St. Louis. I know you could care less but deal.

1. Get a regional accent. If I can't naturally get one within two months, I'm going to make one up. Most likely one that is out of place. If you're in NYC in two months, and you hear someone say "Mahve! Ah mahst get tah tha soobway!", say hello to that person, because it's me.

2. Be more spontaneous. Let's all hope Fiancée doesn't find me trying to catch a pigeon in the middle of Central Park. Or bringing said pigeon back to the apartment to give it a bath.

3. Become friends with a bartender so when I sit down they give me a Bass or vodka/tonic without asking. The trick is doing this in a way that doesn't make me feel awkward, unlike that time when the nice old lady at Dierberg's stopped asking for my ID because, in her words, "I was a regular there". Or like the time your parents tried to give you "the talk" but it's way too late for it because you're already in middle school and heard about everything on your bus ride to school and they only leave you with more questions than you even had to begin with.

This list is still growing, let me know if you have any suggestions.
