In which the New York Diaries look like becoming more permanent...
Right, well, where to begin?
I have met someone, someone amazing.
Things have already reached the point where I am convinced that I not only want to come to New York, I need to.
I am head over heels in love.
She is incredible, wonderful, beautiful and I am completely besotted with her. We have connected on a level I would never have thought possible in such a short space of time, but to be perfectly honest if you had lived the last week in my shoes, no matter how cynical or jaded you may have been, you'd believe in love at first sight as well.
I honestly never thought I would have cause to be annoyed with my nationality, but now is that time. I am British, New York is, rather annoyingly, in this little 'USA' place I told you all I'd discovered, and this is a problem.
So I ask you now, in the name of love and everything you hold to be dear in your life, that if you know of any job in the New York area that you think I might be able to do (I am a Mechanical Engineer with Transport experience, cross-discipline design skills and a big, cheesy grin)...ANYTHING at all, then please email me.
Thanks.
(Or if you just want to help me get into the US by giving me a vast sum of money, then that's fine too.)
Oh my word, she's something special. She is funny, intelligent, gorgeous...I love her and this week has been unlike any time in my life I have ever known.
Her smiles make me melt, her laugh makes me want to sing and dance across the sky, and incredibly, earth-shatteringly, take-your-soul-and-send-it-flyingly...
...she loves me.
Am so happy for you two! Congrats!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you two!
I know nothing about jobs in New York, and unfortunately I have no vast sums of money to offer. But I can just say: wow, congratulations! :-)
Congratulations Stuart!
Also, sorry that I can't help on the job front.
Love will find a way .... whatever that means
unfortunately i also having nothing to offer on the financial or employment front,
but hey wtf it'll work whatever you do.
im gonna go before i spout every emotion wrenching cliche i can think of.
congratulations.
oh. my. god.
that is too cute.
congratulations!!
Ah, love at first sight...good for you! Hope it works out for the both of you. I DO believe in love at first sight.
Best wishes!
I'm totally jealous. Being in love is one of the most amazing experiences in life.
I don't have any money to offer, how about some congratulatory cookies? (seeing as you did get some of the questions right :p)
My word Stuart, I've been lax in my blog reading and I finally pop over to your blog only to find that you've fallen in love with PH, New York blogger extrodinaire! Well RIGHT ON! As I said to her, there is no love without risk and no risk more worth the danger than love. Blessings on you both.
Well,I could marry you and then you could stay here and figure out the Englishman in New York challenge later. Of course, there'd be some 'splainin' to do to your "B'shert" in NYC but we can figure that out later, too.
Don't listen to my Evil Twin! She has committment issues.
Mech. Engineer with Transport experience... the NYC transit authority is often hiring. gov't jobs are also a good way to speed up citizenship & whatnot
Yay! Here's to the new first couple of the blogosphere. How soap-operish you continue to be, Stuart.
Soap-operish?
We're coining words left right and centre...
Amazing. Fabulous. Conclusive proof that the interweb is indeed great.
Hope it all works out for you both.
Congrats man. Seriously.
Now is it just me or have I missed a lot of 'reading between the lines'? Talk about 'outta left-field'!
Does she know about your problem with vodka jelly? :-)
Congrats man.
It's not a problem Adrian, it's merely an affliction. One that, I have to say, seems to have cleared up considerably since I saw you last...
Awww.
Something green-eye'd in me makes me what to shoot you out of a cannon. I haven't had those feelings for such a long time...and from your blog-date, 10 years and 1 day since the first time.
But that green-eye'd feeling quickly lifts, and I can't help but say a huge GOOD LUCK to you my friend. The "Smallest Giant"(TM) in the Big Apple....just sounds right, huh? ;)
Well...I like the sound of it.
