The Glory of the Big Apple, may not be so Glorious

Greetings, Lady Annelid here, Anne for short, yup that's right Lady of the worms.

We've all seen them, those shirts that say I love NYC, well I'm not of that frame of mind. I moved to NYC recently and as a girl who, shall we say appreciates her earth worms, NYC isn't all its cracked up to be.

Forgive me for sounding a bit angry but I'm really sick of friends and family asking me if I've gone to see "insert tourist attraction here." I'm sorry, I LIVE HERE. I don't have time to go out and see the Statue of Liberty, or the Rockafeller Center X-mas tree!

Life here isn't one big party all the time.

Life here isn't one big vacation get away, every day.

New York City has a side to it most tourist refuse to see.

I'm living in NYC.

I'm not a tourist.

I'm struggling to cope.

And though this blog is an outlet for my frustration, I hope it will also be funny, cynical and true to the life I live here.

Because I'm trying everyday to get through situations that most people where I'm from would be shocked at.

I am the Lady of the Earthworms.

And this big apple is full of Worms!
