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!
