It's just me. Rambling
Let's see. . I am young, much younger than you. I promise. I am from New York City but decided to leave the glorious city of Manhattan and go to school in Indiana. I'd love to hear what you have to say. . Email me. Caitlinkeating89@gmail.com
I miss my sister, my dog, my mom, my dad, my grandparents, my other grandparents who I never met, and the rest of my family. I miss lying on the most comfortable couch in the world in my apartment back in New York. I miss going to bed while listening to drunk couples in college yelling things at each at each other on the street that they wont remember the next morning when the sun wakes them up and they look out onto their overpriced view of the Hudson River. I miss 24 hour diners, the MTA and the dirty subway. I miss the city that keeps you awake and on our toes every single second of the day, the city that makes slow walkers walk fast, and the city that makes sure it is impossible for you to ever feel lonely.
Right now I am lying in my not so comfortable bed in a town that I have grown to love. I am listening to music because the the streets are quiet here and my house is surprisingly quiet silent for a Tuesday. It’s always hard for me to be in complete silence. My thoughts start racing, and that my friend is always a dangerous thing. I’m sick as a dog and I have so many exams this week. Perfect timing. For real.
I’ve been writing a lot, and reading even more.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with people I hardly even knew before this semester, and I can’t believe that in 3 months I will be in Barcelona.
I could go on and on because my hands can’t help themselves, but my head is telling me I need a least 12 hours of sleep.
I won’t be falling asleep to the sounds of the restless trees in New York City, or the drunken Columbia students or the determined sirens trying to save lives while trying not to cause any accidents on the way to their destination. I will be falling asleep to silence, something I am still trying to learn how to appreciate.
Till tomorrow, xx.
Clocktower Building in Dumbo. Are you kidding me? I’m in love.
If I had an extra 25 Million… I want I want!!!!! Absolutely beautiful.
I dropped my I Phone in a cup of water last night and obviously it broke. My delete button on my computer will not work. Boy, do I hate technology.
I’m not a huge fan of toddlers or cheerleaders, but I have to say that these outfits are absolutely adorable.
Sweeny and her massive black Mercedes. She is so tiny you can’t even see her driving.
Why is the new Gossip Girl not yet online!? Arghh!!
About to go out on this super chilly Fall night. Blazer. Check! Cute shirt. Check! High black heels. Check! Have a great Friday night. xx
Sitting on my large porch with a blanket wrapped around me. Loving this fall weather.
Sweenys dog, Angel. How cute!? Sweeny ran into Dunkin Donuts and Angel is crying for her. Adorable.
Our delicious dinner.

How do you know when you’ve reached that point?

I have always loved this speech, and was so dissapointed when I found that the Kurt Vonnegut did not write it, even though that has always been the rumor. I think you must leave New York City when everything you ever loved about the city suddenly becomes an annoyance, and even if you slept 12 hours a day you still felt tired. My mom who has lived in NYC for over 30 years and loves it to death wants to buy a cottage on Martha’s Vineyard and when I asked her why she couldn’t even describe it. When you get on the subway and instead of smiling you roll your eyes, and instead of enjoying the loud noises you constantly wish for the ocean, well, I think that is time to get on a bus, train, boat or plane and get out! I have yet to reach that point, but knowing that you can leave and always come back to a city that never changes is comforting in itself.
Sweeny and I are relaxing, ( as in drinking wine and watching TV,) while two boys, Todd and Matt, ( our neighbors ) cook us delicious chicken parm. I could easilyyyyy get used to this.
