Hey Lisa, I'm Sam. I don't mind at all, in fact I've been thinking about asking my friends for friend recommendations. We do have a lot of common interests, including a lot that I haven't listed *steals interests*
My journal is a lot of whatever is on my mind; life, work, relationships. I'm never as funny as I like to think I am but I seldom mean any harm :)
If I'm not your thing, don't hesitate to drop me, it'd bother me less than if you were to just skim and not read, ya know? Look forward to getting to know you :)
Sure thing. I've actually been thinking of adding people lately :)
I see you're Canadian, you're going to fit right in here. A ton of my friends are Canadian and apparently I've been given honourary status. heh. I got an Olympic bet going on with them that I posted about last Friday :)
I'm so obsessed that I have a subscription to Time Out New York delivered to my house weekly.
In Michigan.
I'm so obsessed that my office at home is NYC themed with black and white skyline photos on the walls.
I'm so obsessed that in my office here at work I have an MTA New York City subway map on the wall of my cube.
I'm so obsessed that I used to travel there every chance I could just to be there and live there, even if only a week at a time.
I'm so obsessed that I'm a member of 5 freaking NYC LJ comms, the Yankees are my 2nd favorite baseball team (after Detroit) and the G-men are as close to a favorite NFL team as I have.
oh!!
The clincher is right here.
I AM SO OBSESSED that my cell phone number is a 212 area code. That's Manhattan's area code.
I wanted an iPhone. While I was at AT&T I asked them if I could "in theory" have a home address and phone number (NYC) but a billing address in another state (MI).
They said I could if I had a business plan. With the possibility there, I got excited and asked if they had any 212 numbers. He didn't. They were all taken.
I checked eBay and saw that people were selling 212 numbers like mad there. I ended up snagging my number for like $15 or something.
I get the prepaid sim card in the mail and so I go to AT&T with my phone number in hand. Then in order for them to transfer it to my account with them I had to supply an NYC address. I looked up a guy with my last name in Manhattan and used his address, pretending it was my home address.
That part didn't matter, it was a technicality because my bill comes to my REAL home here in Michigan.
...aaaand away we go!
oh, why don't I live there? Long story short, too many family ties and now with my little daughter, I'm not moving anywhere that takes me farther from her.
haha. Well once in a while in a comment thread "the old days" will come up and I get to tell the story of how I joined LJ when you gave me an invite code over 8 years ago :D
I was wondering if you could add me to your BL community? I understand that the challenge is long under-way, and if I can't join in right now, I just want to look around, maybe find some inspiration. :)
I searched for LiveJournal communities with "biggest loser" as one of their interest. I'm a big fan for the show, and am currently trying to find people who are also trying to lose weight (in a healthy/natural way), and this looked like a good, active community. Many weight loss communities on LJ are dead.
If you don't want to include me, since you said it's mostly between your friends, I understand. :) I won't take it personally.

I spent my first week there in August and hope to do it again.
the 212 is the clincher though... how do you even go about doing that??
WHY DON'T YOU LIVE THERE YET?

Mostly we use the community for tracking weight and/or measurements.
How did you find out about us? I ask because normally we keep this community friends and friends of friends.
