I always forget how quiet suburban neighborhoods are. Jeremy and I made the trek to central Jersey yesterday for his nephew's first birthday and we decided to take the 20-minute walk from the train station to the restaurant. We were babbling and cackling away as we always do about inappropriate things - okay, most of both those things were coming out of my loud mouth - but once we both finally shut up for a moment we realized how dead quiet the streets were and that we most likely were the "disturbances" to the entire neighborhood.

We've been spoiled by the constant noise of New York City and the ability to automatically tune out any outside noise (unless you're consciously eavesdropping on the gossiping old ladies on the subway). Makes me worried that if I ever move to a smaller city or the suburbs, the locals will chase me out or duct tape my mouth shut. Time to work on my volume control.
