New York, New York!
Ah… it’s been a crap ton of time since I’ve posted anything again. Should I just accept it by now?
Well, due to a small family emergency I found myself booking a last minute flight out to New York! Only for about 5 days… 12 hours of total flight time for only 5 days .___.; I was hoping to make the best of it anyway.
Most of all I really looked forward to seeing friends again. As much as I love living in Seattle and having Kai all to myself I totally have missed all of my friends so much ;_; And most of all, I’m in a constant state of missing Jess.
My first day out I arrived at about 5pm Easter time. Most of the day was already lost… but… I got PIZZA. NEW YORK PIZZA! There is no pizza that I can find in Seattle that can hold a candle to New York pizza. In fact, most food in Seattle cannot compare to the deliciousness of New York. But it is because of this that I feel I’m not extremely fat. If I remained in New York I believe I would have eaten myself into obese oblivion by now. In stead, my diet is well in west coast moderation with their lack of their artificial, processed, fatty, fast foods. I mostly eat natural and organic against my will simply because that’s virtually all that is readily available. So if anything this was also kind of like my rich fat and carb infused food vacation!
Saturday being my first full day, I met up with Jess :3 it was nice to catch up and, as always, things pick up as if nothing had ever changed. We went out with her parents to El Sid’s in New Jersey. I had a log of filet mignon.. no seriously, a log. It must have weighted like 2 pounds. Jess got prime rib which equated to an entire side of cow.
To burn off all that meat we went ice skating later on in the evening with Liz. Probably my first time skating in like 3 years and somehow I didn’t suck that bad. Then back off to Jess’ house for a small get together with other friends. A very well accomplished day with friends and food
Sunday and Monday were kind of lazy days. Spent some time with the family and slept forever. I seriously must have slept for over 24 hours between the two days. My body never seemed to adjust to the three hour time difference and not being in work made me so sleepy -.-
Ride the turtle!
Tuesday being my last day, Jess and I went to Philly for the aquarium and some cheese steaks. The last time I was at the Philadelphia aquarium was for my not so happy 5 year anniversary in my previous crappy relationship. It was nice to kind of re-program some memories of that place for that reason ^^;
I remember it being so much larger o_o we seemed to get through the entire thing in about an hour. But, I got to see spider crabs, touch slimy rays and see cute little fishies that I could never afford to keep myself so it was fun! I even bought a cute little turtle for Kai that we named “adventure to share all of our Philly adventures with!… because we’re kind of retarded.
After the aquarium was some shopping around Philly’s south street. I didn’t buy anything… though I totally should have. So many cute stores with cute things! And, my god, sex shops everywhere! A new one every 50 feet. All of them were really nice and clean o_o and we found an awesome comic shop that had an effen Sailor Moon arcade game from back in the day! Ah, so many memories from high school…
What? Yummy delicious cheese steak?
Later on we met up with her current “boyfriend” dating whatever thing to get cheese steaks. I’d like to just forget the other person was there ^^; it’s all a long and awkward story that maybe I’ll get into at some other time for a laugh. It only re-affirms for me that Jess totally needs to write a book about her boyfriends and people she’s dated. On a positive note though, the cheese steak was delicious~ AND I got banana ice cream later on <3
That was my last day ;-; well spent but kinda sad.. In the end though I was feeling kinda home sick and couldn’t wait to get home to Kai. It was so much fun to hang out with everyone again but being back also reminded me of all the reason why I left New York to begin with and why I wouldn’t ever want to live there again. I’m glad my feelings haven’t changed.
I look forward to when I can take a -real- vacation to visit everyone again and have much more time and better plans in place… and drag Kai along of course.
Great place to visit but wouldn’t want to live there :B
Valentines Day 2011
My top 10 unofficials in songs that make me feel kinda sorta in love :3 More than anything most of them are wonderfully meaningful. Maybe someone else will find something in them too <3.
Coming soon…
My god. How I’ve neglected my little corner of blog. It’s been a crazy year and next year will probably be crazier… but in a good way :3
I’ve been working on a new set up for this site for quite some time but laziness and exhaustion combined with my bad habit of taking on way too many projects at once has made progress oh so slow. Thankfully now that I’m knocking off a couple of things I’m finding a little more time and motivation to complete all these wonderful things I’ve started before the new year. Within the next couple of days there should be a new layout. I’m in dire need of one. With that I plan on re-vamping the whole system of things, out with the old in with the new. I have a pretty picture of it all in my head, lets see if I can get that to work on the intarwebs.
There will be a lot of back dating in my future. So much has happened I never wrote about. So many pictures I have yet to post. All the traveling through this crazy year, how could I not record it? I just wish I had done so when it was all fresh and new. But :3 just means I have plenty to keep me busy.
So now, on to work. I want this done finally D: I wrote about it so I must finish!
PS.
WTF… I coded up most of the new layout… and HTML5 and CSS3 come out to ruin all my progress. Time for re-coding.
I'm like an angry little rain cloud, very melancholic. I adore the ocean and all it's cute squishy little inhabitants. I have a talent for worrying though you'd probably never know it. In the next life I'm coming back as a squidlet~
