I think I have become a New Yorker.

1) I have lived in Brooklyn for 8 1/2 years.

2) Over the last year, I have really started to enjoy Woody Allen movies.

3) Most of my friends are in therapy.

4) Seeing tourists treat my city like an amusement park disgusts me.

5) I’ve started to feel superior to people who don’t live here.

6) I can see the NYC MTA subway map with my eyes closed.

7) I am friendly but don’t like it when people waste my time.

8) I can’t imagine my life without Brian Lehrer.

9) I remember how it was before “everything started changing” (the southeast corner of 2nd Ave and 10th St was most certainly not always a Chase bank, and the Village Voice didn’t always suck).

10) I watched the towers fall from my rooftop.

11) I am homesick when I’m not here.
