We talk really fast and piss our money away. i mean we don't even have back yards. we like to use like the word "like" because it is like so cool!and just because we have to pay 10.00 to see a movie dosen't mean were cheap beacuse were like new yorkers. oh and every where you go theres grafetti everywhere because were like dirty pigs. and were to busy hanging out with our gangs.Oh and just because new york has the most hiv per year and long island has the most teen pregnancies dosent mean were irisponseable because we just like ummm new yorkers.

So I get up every morning before the sun comes up to milk the cows for breakfast. Then I walk to school up hill through miles and miles of corn feilds, cabbage patches, and yard sales. after school in the one room school house, I say goodbye to all 30 kids from grades k-12 and head up hill back to home so i can help farm the feilds and pick corn to sell at a road side stand.
