Blurb

One of the main reasons I've always loved moving to a new place was because it was the best way to reinvent myself, to get out of whatever stale rut other people had put me in. I wasn't incredibly popular in elementary/middle/high school, so it was always nice to "start over." The funny thing about this move is that I don't feel the need to change or reinvent at all. I'm getting out of a major career & dating rut, but I've found who I am, and I like it, and the way I behaved in my old town is the way I'm behaving here. I can't imagine myself putting on pearls and dining at Bergdorf or Le Bernardin because that's not what I would have done back home. I'm the same old occasional couch potato, who has no problem watching Dexter reruns on a Friday night instead of going out until 4am - I might do that someday but not unless I feel like it. Maybe that's not the perfect way to handle a big move to New York City, but why give myself a makeover if I like the way I look?
