Seth and the City

Today is my 17th birthday, so Happy Birthday to me! After a sleepless night and two long, wholesome hours of fretting and nerves, I passed my road test. I am now a licensed driver of the state of New Jersey and it feels as good as I anticipated!

Ever since I was in the 3rd grade, as I am in 11th grade now, a friend of mine and I composed an idea; we decided, back in third grade, that the day I got my license, the two of us would go to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and get mashed potatoes, biscuits, and tacos (from Taco Bell). Well, I am very proud to announce that today, after school, the two of us pigged out on instant mashed potatoes w/ mystery gravy, sinful biscuits, and ecoli infested tacos; and you know something?; it was damned good!

Obtaining a license to drive is probably one of the most exciting moments in any teenager's life. It feels so strange that I don't have to wait around for someone to come pick me up to take me somewhere. When I feel like it, I can grab the key, put in my favorite mix CD, turn up the bass, and go, go, go!
As I write this post, I am anxiously awaiting the hopeful arrival of my mother and her... ahem... 'boyfriend'. She still has not given me a thing for my birthday (besides a traditional balloon and cake that she didn't make!) and I am so curious --- it has to be something, I mean she didn't even get me a card!; so she must have something up her sleeve... I'll give you all the deets on that later.

Otherwise, you may all be wondering why my blog is titled, "Seth and the City". Well this is why...

If you clever people haven't realized it, the title is sort of a mock or spin-off title, if you will, of the TV series, "Sex and the City". So now you're probably wondering why I would want to base it off a television show based on sex and cosmos. Well I have my reasoning; I am writing a novel of the same name, "Seth and the City", which depicts a character very much like me, in fact the entire novel is based on how I see/how I would like to see myself in three years when I turn twenty.

The novel is about how I move to New York City (Brooklyn) and I strive to achieve my dream of working in Manhattan and writing for a magazine as a journalist. Through the novel/series, I overcome many obstacles as I try to maintain my happiness. I try to move into Manhattan, get a roomy apartment, and take over New York's media by storm. In between stuggling with the New York lifestyle and working for assholes, I write my own novel, in the novel! Yes I know, it is quite exciting. I'll have more information on my novel/series soon...

But back to why I named my blog after my novel... this blog is devoted to my novel and how I, in real life, will journey on and overcome obstacles on my way to the top: New York City. I'll be blogging about my real life stories and exciting adventures I embark on with my new license!

We'll see what kind of trouble I can invoke in my last few years of being a teenager (haha!).
