Boston is like nothing I've ever seen before. That's sad, I know, but true. The nearest city outside of Red Kill is Farfield, and that's not even a third of the size of this place. Even the mall, which I went to with Dawn, was astonishing. The people around here are a lot more stylish than anyone in Red Kill. Back there people still think hot pants and leisure suits are "in". Not to sound bitter, but I think Boston fits me. Well, it fits me without actually fitting me at all. I'm sure I look like a pathetic southern girl to everyone else. Mental note: Work on self-esteem.

The house is glorious! About 10 times as big as our old apartment. It's this beautiful old Victorian, with huge lead paned windows, and solid oak floors. I have to admit, it's the closest to luxury I've ever been. The best part is the garden in the back. It's got a Tuscan feel, with flowers, a little pond, and even a cute little patio.

On to the people. Willow really wasn't exaggerating when she told me how great her friends are. Buffy, the slayer, is really cool. She's already got me training with her. It's a lot more intense then training with Willow, but Buff is the slayer after all. Next there's Xander, who is absolutely hilarious. Dawn explained to me about how he and Buffy's "significant others" died in Sunnydale's "final battle". I couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards them, even if I just did meet them. I have to agree with Dawn, they would be really cute together though. Then there's Faith, who, may I just add, I want to steal all her clothes. Which again, is one of many flaws. I'm the only girl I know who actually wore a white beater with every outfit for 3 months strait. Faith's pretty interesting though, but she's the exact opposite of Lucinda in every way, Which oddly, just makes me miss Lucinda even more. Andrew is pretty odd, but I like him. Reminds me of a little puppy dog, actually, the kind that follows you around, whining until you play with it. Lastly, is Dawn. She's only a year or two older than me, and once we got to talking, I realized we're a lot alike. Her mom died a few years ago, and her parents divorced when she was younger. So she too was left in the care of a sibling, which is Buffy of course. She loves Nirvana and All American Rejects, and can't stand smokers or school assemblies. And most of all, she's a teenage girl growing up with the knowledge of vamps and demons. I think we'll get along just fine.

I think I'm going to like Boston.....
