For starters:
-The grass and trees are very green.
-The accent is not a myth.
-Dunkn' Donuts on every corner is also not a myth.
-It is muggy. Not all of the time, but sometimes.
-Everything is very small here and close together, everything meaning the buildings.
-Most of these buildings are fancy, including the 7-11's.
-The close proximity is made possible by Boston's complete lack of belief in parking lots.
-While most cities love their sports teams, Bostonians really, Really love the Red Sox.
-There are a multitude of bicyclists, and every one of them makes me jealous and/or really want to buy a bike here.
-Most of said bikers are wearing helmets, which is probably wise since the streets are narrow and the cars are fast.
-Traveling 3.7 miles is bound to take at least an hour, regardless of the mode of transportation.
-Boston does a marvelous job preserving and living with its history.
-My ward looks more like a BYU ward than my BYU ward.
-People are kind and helpful.
Things I like here:
-Max and Betty
-Veggie Planet
-Harvard Square
-The Brattle Theater
-the North End/bay
-the historical sites

Things I don't like here:

Words that are starting to take on meaning:
-Inbound/Outbound
-The T

Yay for the update! Basically the only thing I remember from when I went to Boston is the prevalence of Dunkin' Donuts. I was young and that was what was important to me. :)
I know what you mean about lack of friends. It's hard moving to a new place. You are much braver than me, though. Miss you!
ah man you didn't put me on your things I like here. :)
ashley, I am not very brave, but trying, so thank you. And I love you, and miss you too.
jon, the list is by no means exhaustive. for now you ought to feel proud that you introduced me to/influenced two of the things on the list.
Veggie Planet! Excellent. Let's go some time.
Are you vegetarian too?
