yeah!

I just moved into a new apartment! I'm so excited. Packing took longer than I expected.

I moved to New York with one small carry-on suitcase and a laptop bag. That was it. I have accumulated a bed, desk, and sixteen trash bags of stuff in only four months! Granted, some of that was mailed from AZ...but there were several shoe purchases as well *guilty look*.

This apartment is sooo quiet. It's 2am and the keys on my laptop sound so loud! I was so used to noise at the other place that this afternoon, the sound of a woman screaming and five minutes of non-stop honking didn't even make me jump. I actually thought to myself "hmm...that really should have gotten my attention. ...I should care." But everything sounded like white noise after a few months of that. A fire alarm would probably put me to sleep.

Case in point, last night about twenty 20-somethings were running, screaming, leaping and doing back-flips (literally) down my street and I heard it all. I looked out the window in time to see several back flips. Or maybe they were front flips? don't recall. Did I think "wow! back flips!" No, I was just like. "ah, yeah. back to sleep."

But here, it's only "click click click." I had thought my keys were silent, but no, they have a noise. I have heard it for the first time tonight. I forgot what silence sounded like. It sounds so...quiet!

In other news, my closet is so big I can walk into it and stand there! I did this about three times.
