hello Newgrounders ^.^
I'm curious to hear your opinions on a certain subject, though it's unlikely anyone will change my mind.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to move to New York City... with only about $1,100.
is that idea stupid? idiotic? absolutely horrible? yes... yes it is.
but I want to. more importantly, Rainy wants to. for those of you who don't already know, Rainy is my lover/sister thing.
anyway, we're bored and really don't have much left to lose.
so what are your thoughts on the matter?

I too was eager to move out right after high school. I learned many valuable lessons through hardships and poor planning...depleted of all cash I had saved and earned. Through misery, in both love and lifestyle, the experience changed me...luckily I had the option to fall back home, abandoning my lease.
New York City is pretty high rent. It will be a valuable lesson in life, ESPECIALLY the test of living with your loved one for an extended amount of time (it's the ultimate test in a relationship) But I fear that with choking bills and insufficient income or economic balancing, you will be doomed to fail. Just prepare for that, and always have a backup plan so you don't wind up on the streets.
tl:dr, you will fail expensively, but you'll ultimately change because of it.

thank you very much for your advice. I imagine it's the most sound I'll hear on the subject.
but truth be told, I was ready to kill myself earlier. I had the bleach and ammonia in my cart. now, this isn't an "I'm emo and want to die" scenario... I'll admit. I'm more than a little depressed. why shouldn't I be? life is shit.
however, I am bored and this world seems to have little to offer me. I'm a broken, worthless being and I'm done playing the game.
so why not head out to a city and see how long I can survive?
I'm going to attempt using couchsurfing to stay off of the street. how long will that work? I haven't the vaguest idea.
however, whatever happens, happens. if nothing else, the experience will be interesting. maybe I'll appreciate the life that I'm currently too stupid and selfish to understand.
but we'll see, won't we?
