I didn't enter this round because of general busy-ness-ness the last week (and being in NY and et cetera) but I just voted - so please do go vote for your favorite entries in this round because there are so fantastically lovely entries. I love the delicacy of this set overall.

Did I mention I'm back from NYC, btw? I'm baaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkk.......

There will be fluffy stories this week, m'dears.

And if I get my act together, a Buffy & Joyce meta inspired by comlodge's beautiful School Hard/Chosen banner:

I have to admit that I rarely go into "the city", and it's only a 20 minute train ride into Manhattan. *shrugs*

BTW - shall I confess which entries I voted for? Yes! I'm really curious. Just FYI, I only entered one icon. *shrugs again*

Which borough do you live in? We were talking to a married couple at a Bareburger restaurant on the upper east side and he was asking where we were going, if we needed directions etc but his wife said, half-jokingly, that he was only good for their little neighborhood. We discovered that a lot, but that's true for most of us, I guess, New Yorkers or not - we know our little place where we live and work but not much outside it. (I've never been to the seaport museum in the town where I've lived over 10 years.)

I'd like to go back to Brooklyn and explore a bit more, then maybe the other boroughs as well. (We've already been to Staten Island once before.) The area around the BAM felt so relaxed after the subway ride from Manhattan. Everything being relative of course.

Yes! I'm really curious. Just FYI, I only entered one icon. *shrugs again*

I voted for 1, 4 and 5.

ETA: #2 was my 4th choice. There's always a "runner up" in these things that I wonder afterwards, "should I have voted for that one? Can I have one more slot pretty please?"

Which borough do you live in? I live in Queens, the very end of Queens, two blocks away is the city limits. Oldest son just moved to Staten Island before that he was in Bay Ridge (Brooklyn)

I voted for 1, 4 and 5.
ETA: #2 was my 4th choice. All good choices, I usually don't vote in a challenge, if I entered but if I did, I would have voted for 2, 8, &13, (Which of course does not include the icon I made ~_^)

After the contest is finished, if you want to know, I'll tell you which one was my icon.

I admit I've wanted to go to Chinatown in Flushing after we saw it on an Anthony Bourdain program. We always go to the one in Manhattan when were in the city anyway.

After the contest is finished, if you want to know, I'll tell you which one was my icon.

Please do!

Fyi I wasted the entire day making icons for the current challenge. I think I have one or two that I actually like, and about 1000 more ideas *sigh*

Now that the winners are up in the challenge I can tell you, my icon was #1.

One of my vote getters, yay! I'm saved from cringy embarrassment!

I'm saved from cringy embarrassment! I'm not that mean!! I wouldn't have offered to tell you which icon was mine if you hadn't voted for it. (I wouldn't have wanted to put you on the spot.)

I apologize if that came off wrong, I was kidding. My sense of humor doesn't always come off the way I intend it!

[teragramm.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize, I wasn't offended.

My sense of humor doesn't always come off the way I intend it! I totally understand, I'm from New York. ~_^

I totally understand, I'm from New York.

I forgot! Mind = sieve.

(BTW, we had a good time in NYC - and why doesn't anyone ever say how NICE and courteous most New Yorkers are? )

[teragramm.livejournal.com]

and why doesn't anyone ever say how NICE and courteous most New Yorkers are? Because that would ruin our reputation. ~_^

New Yorkers are notorious for speaking their mind and for many, using the f word is like saying hello. So this combo, only feed the "New Yorkers are rude" mentality.
