It's Goin' Down Tonight In This Town

Oh yeah. Worthy of a Distillers' song lyric for a title, this blog is about the NYC trip!

Hurrah! So I actually didn't bother getting up at 5:30 to be on time for the bus. What I minded was getting home at one in the morning the next day. I definitely think the trip would have been triple the fun if we'd stayed over night. Oh my gosh. I love New York City. I used to be, like, "Ew, what's so special?" But do you know what? Now it's like, "Ew, why do I live so small-townie?" But I think that if I lived in NYC after living in Linthicum for seven years (Two when I was a baby, but I don't remember that), and before that in Harrogate North Yorkshire for five, I would die. The city life would kill me. It would be fun while I was alive, but yeah. I'm too used to the little "Mystic Pizza-we-don't-let-a-clock-run-our-lives" thing by now.

So I'm not going to go into too much detail, but let me just start off my account of the trip with what I bought. :) I got a big frappuccino at Starbucks.....that might not count. I got a $25.00 Snow White purse from the Disney Store, an $18.00 lip gloss/booster/healer thing from Sephora, and a $10.00 film-marker from a random shop. I'm excited. I got great pictures too.

I have a picture of myself with Cinderella, Cruella de Ville, Gepetto, and Pinnochio! Then, also in the Disney Store, I have a picture of me wearing these springy things on my head and they have Mickey Mouse head with pink princess hats on them....I'll post another blog later on when I can upload pictures so you can see all of this.

I saw a girl getting arrested for shoplifting from Sephora while we were on our way to take a picture at the Time Square Information Center where Harvey Levon stands on The People's Court. It was exciting. Then we ate at this Deli place, and the portions were a ridiculously large size. Geez. I didn't even get halfway though my burger. It was pretty good, though.

The bus ride back was pretty funny. Erin and I played 10 fingers and Would-You-Rather. I SUCK at both of them. It took up a good amount of time, though. As did listening to that one line of the P!ATD song "But It's Better If You Do" Where he goes, "peach...and lime.......daiquiri." We just played that line over and over. It's been stuck in my head F-O-R-E-V-E-R! Whatever. At least it's good.

Other News: I went to see Claire's recital. It was fabulous! I really enjoyed it. She did a very good job, in my opinion. There was an obnoxious kid behind me asking his parents for snacks other than goldfish the whole time. It was like, "AHHH! SHUT UP, INFANT!" But he NEVER did. And while they were switching on and off stage at one point he just yelled, "I HAVE TO PEE!" And I was like, Woah, kid. Keep it down, right? Agh. Whatever.


Right-o, so that's a brief update of my recent life. I would go into more details, but I am still tired. I haven't gotten much sleep lately. I got home at anout 11:15 pm Friday, fell asleep at around midnight, and had to wake up for the NYC trip at 5:30. We got home from that at about 1:00 am I think it was. I'm not sure. Anyway, I had to get up this morning at 7:30, so I have gotten about 10-12 hours of sleep for two days. I mean, it isn't an indecently small amount of time, but I haven't recovered from the exhaustion of walking around New York City!
