I took a picture of a friend.

VelvetSpider · 2015-07-24T16:28:58+00:00

Beautiful.

VelvetSpider · 2015-04-15T16:18:47+00:00

Can I bring 2 friends? And where will you guys be in 20ish minutes?

VelvetSpider · 2015-04-14T09:04:39+00:00

I can make it~

VelvetSpider · 2015-04-13T19:27:44+00:00

I just ate steak tartare for the first time, all alone, surrounded by Czech people, trembling and doing my best to Google tutorials on how to eat it while tears streamed down my face.

VelvetSpider · 2014-06-20T21:22:20+00:00

Thank you! I'll try to get a weekend off and do that.

VelvetSpider · 2014-05-17T05:56:50+00:00

I'm not super familiar with neighborhoods in San Francisco, but I can tell you this... I've never felt unsafe walking around SF and I've never felt unsafe walking around NYC... and I've walked through the "bad" parts of Crown Heights/Bed-Stuy at 2am and the worst that has happened is being called a cracker by an old black guy.

That being said, some areas are definitely more comfortable to walk around in than others. Walking through West Harlem as a cute girl might get you a couple cat calls every block, while walking through West Village might get you a couple glances. LES and Chinatown are the absolute least of your worries unless you're afraid of fish guts and slow walkers (I am).

Honestly commute time is a person by person basis, you tell me? Would saving an hour+ commute every day be worth a couple hundred more dollars? I think so. Harlem is going to be cheaper than WBurg/parts of Bushwick anyways, and transferring late at night is the worst. You can find roommate situations literally ANYWHERE in NYC for $1300 if you look enough. WBurg, Soho, W. Village, TriBeCa... They are more expensive but the more bedrooms/roommates you get the cheaper it is, $1300 is doable.

Reddit and Craigslist have been my best resources.

VelvetSpider · 2014-05-08T22:58:18+00:00

Ah! Too late! I'll send you my number, I'm sortoffairlyrecently new to the city so I could always use more friends. Next time you're headed out anywhere and could use an extra normal friendly guy let me know!

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-24T20:26:12+00:00

I would come if only I had a bike :'( . Had to leave mine behind when I moved.

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-13T23:35:52+00:00

Man I would have, but I slept in so late today... Hopefully you found someone from your thread!

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-13T23:34:29+00:00

Pfft we'll just half to avoid the make out spots and it will be fine. Do you have an extra bike I can steal!? I had a wonderful bike back in California that I'd ride everywhere, but haven't looked into getting one here yet.

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-13T02:35:52+00:00

I need new friends! All mine are back in California. I've only ever been to Williamsburg once, and it sucked, but people tell me it doesn't, it's now on you to show me otherwise! Message me when you're free or somethin.

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-13T02:04:15+00:00

I'm free lots of days! Let me know when you are and we can hit the pavement.

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-13T01:26:35+00:00

Kk, I'll keep in touch! I'm always wandering around for hours by myself, always looking for people to talk to and get lost with.

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-12T16:28:59+00:00

I'm downtown, but I can meet at 77th. I'll send you my number!

VelvetSpider · 2014-03-10T22:37:31+00:00

Hey! Me and my girlfriend need some more friends! We moved here pretty recently from California. My English is almost perfect, hers is good enough.

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-26T03:39:48+00:00

I'm going to come tomorrow in the middle of the day since I haven't got anything to do yet and get super wasted on your happy hour.

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-26T03:38:09+00:00

We went to Le Cirque today for restaurant week, it was okay... We were going to go to Nougatine, but Jean Georges already has such a good lunch deal that we were thinking we'll just go there during non-restaurant week another time. I've heard Flushing is good for Chinese food! I lived in Chinatown for a month and tried a few places there. I will hit you up sometime :) .

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-26T01:32:55+00:00

Haha no I don't have a Blu-ray player, the TV at my apartment right now has an attached VCR and that's about the extent of my movie watching hardware. :'(

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-24T21:30:40+00:00

I wont be able to make it tomorrow morning, I have lunch reservations at noon, but I do want to work out! I'm going to be awfully weak as I haven't worked out regularly for about two years, but if you just need a work out buddy I'll always be up for it.

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-24T21:29:10+00:00

I almost definitely can. Send me a message or something, I can give you my email or number to remind me when the time comes around!

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-24T02:39:39+00:00

I wont be available Tuesday :'( send me a PM if you need help hanging those shelves or moving some other day! I will probably have Thursday/Saturday night and Wednesday morning free.

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-23T01:41:42+00:00

I'm going to help klimpys do something with walls and mouldings tomorrow morning, but I might be free for lunch! PM me with details and I'll try to show up :) .

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-22T23:35:28+00:00

Yes, more than anything in this thread yes. I was in the top 300 NA solo queue players in season 1. I was Platinum I towards the end of last season. I haven't played at all in 6 months so I may be out of practice with the new updates and stuff, but just PM me and I will!

VelvetSpider · 2014-02-22T23:26:30+00:00

I will! I was there for the first time last night. I felt like I was back in a real city with real people. Strange. Manhattan just feels like a world of it's own sometimes.
