Survey: Are You A New Yorker?

Survey!

It's the most basic question of all with probably some complicated, not to mention heated, answers.

Short and sweet: Are you a New Yorker?

(Note: Explain your answer. Is there a required number of years? Does it matter where you live? What you do for a living? How annoying you are talking on a cell phone?)

I just took a cab from Katz's deli to Central Park. I'm writing this on my blackberry. Yes, I'm loud on my cellphone and by the way, I'm devestatingly hot and a total bitch. I'm a New Yorker, yu love me.

10 years is the transformative point. As soon as you get your first apartment, you can call ny home, but it's not for ten years that you can call yourself a new yorker.

Here's a simple answer: if you give an as%hole response to this survey, you're probably a dic#khead nyer. and if you give a nice response, you probably fall under Marianne's 10 year rule.

10 years sounds about right, but then every time I'm around anyone else and start swearing up a storm I get pegged. personally I don't see what the fuckin' deal is.

That's Internet talk for "I'm not that good looking, probably overweight, and eating Bon Bons in front of my computer right now.
