City gal.

So I've decided that when my lease is up in February, I'm going to move into the City.

I've wanted to for years, and slowly but surely I've gotten a little closer (geographically) to it each year. Right now between my job, future schooling and my 'high traffic' areas...I'm in the perfect position for living in the city to be my perfect location. It would also be nice to be able to go out for the day and be able to actually *gasp* walk to something entertaining. Right now, I'd have to drive the 2o minutes to Bmore, or the 20 minutes to Annapolis. I'm sick of that, I want to be able to walk a block to a corner store then back home and lounge with my cat.

I also feel that it's a better fit to my personality, I love the hustle and bustle to city life - I get neurotic and weird when I'm caged up in my quiet apartment. I've always felt more comforatable when I'm just surrounded by tons of people - I feel a little less alone in this world. Plus, Baltimore has such a little charm to it, while it seems like a dirty dirty mess to the visitor's eye, it really does have some of the most quirky daily life.

I grew up going to my aunt and uncles place on quite the regular basis, so I know the regular in's and outs of city life. I understand the pro's and the con's. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but to me, the positive definately outweights the negative.

So the decision has been made. Come February, I'm city bound.

Who knows, maybe I'll take my parents advise and seek out a townhouse to own and sublet the extra room(s) to help cover the mortgage. But I think I may want to rent first to get a feel for it.
