one night this past week the roommate and i were sitting at a coffee shop doing our homework. it was right in the hour when the ex used to be in that part of the neighborhood. needless to say i was vigilant. i would read a sentence and look up and look for him. of course we didnt see him. but that's not the important bit. the important part was that i saw so many fucking hot guys walk past that i got a little starry-eyed. that's when i realized. new york is a place where there are many solutions to one problem.
