Here

Though only surving with four hours of sleep, Tony and I have made it to New York City. We arrived at the JFK airport at 10 am Eastern time and took the subway to Manhattan, which was an hour long trip. We're staying in Harlem with one of his uncle's friends; the place is small and cozy and it feels weird walking around the neighborhood. I guess you could say I'm not used to being a minority.

So far all we've done today is gone to the grocery store. We went to this little Spanish grocery store where they were playing loud and danceable music which made me want to dance throughout the whole store. It was interesting checking out; the cashier, who was probably a year or two younger, was messing around with a cell phone and talking to a girl who looked to be her younger sister while not even paying attention to Tony and I.

It's weird. I feel like I'm in another country almost. But no, just another part of the US.

"Thanks"

Nice, just when I'm about to fly out to New York City, terroists decide they want to start blowing up planes again.

So now the airlines want you there a couple hours ahead of time. My flight is at 6:40 am....

New York City

Have I told anyone this?

I'm going to New York City next week. Tony and I had been wanting to take a trip since the end of the school year, and now we finally are. We're leaving at 6:40 am Wednesday morning, I talked my hobbit boy into taking us to the airport that early. : ) Tony's uncle knows someone who lives in Manhattan, so we have a place to stay. We're just going to walk around the city and just enjoy not having to work and just being able to hang out and relax. I'm really looking forward to it, it'll be nice to go to New York City with a friend and not family for once. I'll do all the things that I want to do.
We're coming back Sunday in the evening, and then I will begin school and start moving.

God, I'm fucking broke.

Also...I have updated my videos. I have some videos of Semisonic (don't even mock me, I loved them when I was in the 6th grade and so it was quite enjoyable to see them for free this summer at the Aquatenniel Block Party!) , B Girl B Revue (I will someday dance like these girls, seriously), and the Aquatenniel Fireworks finale.

And...some more pictures!

My Place

So I've found a place; it's at 24th and Harriet. Nice big duplex with four bedrooms on the upper floor and two cool roommates below.

Tony will be one of my roommates. This is something I wanted to stay away from, but we both REALLY liked the place. We've discussed the issues, we're hoping we can handle it.
