First things first- my name is Kayoko, I'm 28, and I'm about to move back in with my parents in Cupertino, CA. I've lived in NYC for the last 6 years- years spent partying, making rent and growing up. And while a blog about my life in NYC would have been more interesting, perhaps, than me moving back in with my parents, well, I predict that this will be far more hilarious. It's gonna be a riot, I promise. So join me.
I leave NY in just 10 days. I fly to Tokyo where I'll travel around for 3 weeks and visit family, come back to NY for a night, then take a one-way flight to SFO on Thanksgiving Day. I chose this day specifically because I love Tday. It's my favorite holiday of the year. Nevertheless, hitting that purchase button for that one-way ticket to Cali was a really surreal moment. Can't turn back now.
Until I leave next Sunday, I'm sure I'll be reminiscing and rhapsodizing here about a few classic Kayoko NYC moments. It's been a pretty wild ride, definitely. I mean, I've led a pretty modest life here, as far as NYC obsceness goes, but I imagine that things will drastically mellow out for me in Cupertino. But that's really what I want- I may just be idealizing California, but I just want a quiet, peaceful life. I don't really want a booming social life like I've had here- I want to be in bed by 10pm, and live a healthy, balanced life filled with sleep and nutrition. And books. Is that too much to ask?
The last 6 years has certainly been the opposite- but more on that later. For now, here's a pic of my quaint studio in Crown Heights, Brooklyn back in January.
Here it is at this very moment.
It's the perfect dance floor.
