Wishful Thinking~
![]()
I sometimes feel that I’m living in the wrong place. I could invision myself in someplace fantastic like… Las Vegas, or New York. Though I’ve never been to New York, so my idea of what it’s like there is like two ends of a spectrum. See, there’s the “Sex and the City” type of New York.. THAT’s where I’d like to be. Writing a sex column, living in a nice brownstone, etc. Then of course, there is that other end of the spectrum.. the one that is the rough area, and I’d have to worry about peeking out my window. Yeah, that one? I don’t want to live there. -laughs- However, I have been to Las Vegas, and I love it. No, really… I LOVE it. I like the excitement, the lights, the action, the atmosphere, and who wouldn’t like to be able to say they are from some place exciting like VEGAS BABY! Oh, but no. That’s not my reality. See, I’m trapped (yes, trapped lol) in a middle of nowhere. Oh sure, we are a ‘city’ and there are a few things here to do. But, in my dreams I’m living in Vegas or NYC. I also have an odd fascination with Ivy League Schools. Mainly Harvard and Yale. Ahhh, to go back and do it all over again.
Now, back to reality… I’m in Oklahoma. And, you know.. we are “OK”. In all seriousness, there are some things that are nice about Oklahoma. The cost of living is fairly low, people are extremely friendly and love to talk, we have casinos (on Indian Land), we can NOW get TATTOOs! (that’s right, welcome to the real world now baby!), we have the lottery (there’s still hope of me winning my millions), and our Bricktown is now becoming a ‘mini’ San Antonio or West End.
Until that day that I’m living in a Dream City, I’ll be here… coming to you from Oklahoma, as if I’m living in the places that I dream of. And I’ll keep being that “City Girl” that’s from a not-so-big city for now.

As a kid I couldn’t wait to get out of my rat hole town and into the big city. Phoenix AZ was my destination. The military took me to some great big cities - Jacksonville, FL and Philadelphia, PA. After getting married we wanted Phoenix or Las Vegas and some how ended up in Denver CO. It’s ok, I live in the burbs and when I need my city fix I take the light-rail in and do my thing. But I still wish for Phoenix and Las Vegas zip codes to be attached to my address label sometimes.
{From ~S: I’ve not been to CO yet, but I hear it’s beautiful. I have a friend that moved to AZ and she loves it! I have always been drawn to Vegas. There’s just something about that city, that I can’t quite place. I wouldn’t mind living out in the burbs, I think that I’m just wanting something different. LOL}

your comments box is kinda messed up..
But anyway, if you think Oklahoma is bad, try living in Liverpool in the UK! It’s a dreary awful place with nothing to show except urban decay.
[From ~S: Well, I’d like to at least *visit* somewhere out of the country, once. LOL I imagine something bad can be found about just about any place in the world. I think I’m just bored with Oklahoma. — And, I’m not sure what’s messed up about it? I did a test, and it looked okay.. so not sure what’s going on there.
