I love that site, and I really appreciate that other cities try to mimic it and FAIL MISERABLY.

I’d really like to see myself on there someday. You’d think that with as much as I talk about my vagina in public, someone would’ve been interested.

I know, right? It would actually be a free country if these “it’s a free country” assholes weren’t messing everything up for the rest of us.

As always, the white people outnumbered everyone else, so we could do whatever the hell we wanted to. If that sort of thing ever changed around here, I’d move to Norway.

I think about differences like that all of the time. There seems to be a lot of Somalian hate in Ohio and a lot of Jewish hate here. I guess we white folk just like to be down on whoever happens to be in our line of sight. Hooray!

I’m going to write for a living as soon as you can find me a magazine that wants to give me a column and let me write JUST LIKE THIS every week. Lordy, that would be so perfect. I’d do it for free.

Isn’t it? I think all of us were secretly thinking, When she pulls out a knife, where is the fattest person I can hide behind?

My roommate reads this site http://www.overheardinnewyork.com and I thought of it when I read your post.

I’m amazed every day that I wake up and the city hasn’t imploded. How do they keep everyone here from killing each other? There was a hullabaloo a while ago about drugs in the water; maybe that’s it.

I pretty much stop listening to anyone who says, “It’s a free country.”

NYC is so progressive in its racial relations. A Latina woman dissing a black man in a car full of white people clapping and laughing. Who’d've thunk it.

See, in the Midwest, everyone would be mad at the black guy rather than amused at the crazy latina. :P

I assume that you’re referring to the fact that I’m moderating comments. It’s not my fault, I swear! My spam blocker makes me do it!

But just for you, I added a little explanation right before the “add comment” button. Don’t abandon me.

Nice, this portrait of New York and New Yorkers. You couldn’t have painted it more interestingly. So when are you going to write for a living?

Oh man, the awkwardness of this whole situation is delightful.

You know I had to approve this one, too, just to have a comment on this entry.

But then I came here and saw that you’d already commented using your other address, so now I just feel greedy.

Dude. Dont’ you feel like the subway (and pretty much all of NYC) is FILLED with the tension of what’s going to happen next? When you grow up in a world of country people who keep to themselves (except to give each other smiles and friendly waves), the dense sea of strangers in New York just feels volatile.
