Sorry, I've been lazy and busy.

Gosh, sorry I haven't updated in a while.

Things I've been doing since my last post: (not in order)
-Went to the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island 2 weekends ago. That was soooo awesome! Please check out my photos on facebook. well, check facebook for all my pics. Harvey Keitel was there! He's an actor if you were unaware... Be Cool, Finding Graceland, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs... I was pretty pumped about it. Other than seeing him, the parade was great! There were so many people dressed up and I had a hot dog at the original Nathan's :)

-Went to Central Park with my roomie, Tracy, to see a comedy show put on by Comedy Central. One of the comedians was Gabriel Iglesias. Hopefully you know who he is. It was such a great time! yay for awesome FREE events.

-My old pal from CMU, Evan, came out to see me too. He's the first person to come visit. Before he arrived, Tracy and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion exhibit. Click HERE to check it out. It was all about models from the beginning until now. Each room was broken down into decades. The nineties one has Nirvana playing in the background. hehe. I enjoyed all the photos and garments they had on display the most.
When Evan got here, we went to dinner at a restaurant called Toast. My roomies and I were all exhausted from a lively Friday night, so we stayed local at night and went to The Heights for drinks. They have a pretty good happy hour. Drinks are SO expensive out here :(
Sunday, we walked around Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy, and East Village. I pretty much love the village. :) It was soooo good to see Evan. Hopefully he comes back before I head back to the mitten.

- hmm.. we go shopping/window shopping A LOT. hehe. we're girls, what do you expect?!

-We have roommate bonding nights a lot too. 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday, we bought a large jug of wine and just chilled out. My roommates are so great. I'm extremely thankful to have been shacked up them and not any weirdos.

-Blonde Sarah and I ventured down to Riverside Park 2 Sundays ago and watch 2 softball games simutaneously. We got very involved in the games and were cheering. haha.

-I've been off the island like 3 or 4 times to go to Brooklyn and Queens. I dig both a lot. Coney Island is at the tip of Brooklyn. I have yet to go to Staten Island or find where the heck Long Island is. ha.

-I bought a fabulous pair of Betsey shoes for --$16-- at Loehmann's on Saturday. How exciting is that?!?! Gosh, I'm lame. After Loehmann's and Urban, Dark haired Sarah and Juliana headed back to the apt and Blonde Sarah and I went exploring in Washington Sq. That area is amazing! I would totally live there. We found a really neat hole-in-the-wall bar and had a beer and fries. While just chillin', two guys started talking to us --who were NOT creepy! that's a first for me-- and ended up sharing a pitcher with us. We left there to go to The Heights, but it was lame there. We decided to head home and continue drinking until when walked passed her second job and they gave us half a pitcher of margarita :) So basically we drank for darn near free the entire night. SCORE! This was definitely an awesome night.

-Sunday Tracy got back from Delaware and B.Sarah, her, and I went to the park to lay out and girl talk about Tracy's crazy trip. FINALLY! a day with sunshine!!

-Friday night, we went out with Rob Humps. No, that is not his real last name, but it is part of it. haha. I got hit on by the 2 creepiest and most god awful looking guys... go figure!!! Rob Humps wouldn't act like he liked me to have the one creepster quick staring hard at me :( jerk!

-Monday's are our fun days! As of last Monday, it is now our ritual to go to Blockheads for margarita's and play guitar hero to win free shots. Last week we were horribly unsuccessful, but this week we all got a free shot. awesome!
--OOOOHH!!! Horrible-ness. Last Sunday, as in not 2 days ago, we had a LARGE fire alarm problem. It went off at 4:10 AM!! we were outside for nearly 40 mins on technically a Monday morning :( It then went off at 5:30 am and 7:30 am. It also went off when we all got home from work Monday night :( I'm never leaving my room again for a fire drill. We've had 7 fire drills in 3 weeks. Not cool.

-We had our first roach about 2 weeks ago. We also have a very large hole in the wall behind our front door due to extreme water damage. We've complained and sent pictures to people, but they've yet to fix it. The water damage was caused by a faulty fire hose hookup that is right outside of our apt. Apparently they can't fix our wall until the fire dept comes out and fixes the hose hookup. The promised it would be fixed the day we moved in... it's not been a month. what the heck?! The hole in the wall leads outside. Awesome. So and rodent or bug can get into our apt from the hole in the outside wall that's apart of the fire hose hookup and jump down and walk right through to hole in our wall :( We're not happy. Maintenance has finally come out to semi fix everything until the fire dept comes out and it just flooded our porch even more. Yesterday they CUT a new hole in our wall and failed to pick up all the dry wall pieces and tracked that crap all through our apt on our blackish/navy carpet. I paid over $3,000 to basically live in a shit hole. I thought this was an ivy league school that has big money and people pay big money to attend here. I'm so angry. At least we have AC. NYU dorms don't. Oh, I live at Columbia University if I never mentioned that.

-I SAW MICHAEL IAN BLACK!!! hehe. all i said was "Oh My God!" and i kept walking. This happened yesterday morning around 8:50 a.m. on 50th, between Broadway and 8th. I'm so mad at myself for not being a super fan.

-I did a on camera interview with MTV, so there's a good chance I'll be on tv next week. haha. I think D. Sarah and I did this on Friday.

I'm really having the best time ever out here. I wish all my pals were here to experience this with me. I've done so much and have seen so many crazy things. Not sure if I could live here though... it's WAY too dirty here. People just throw garbage any and everywhere. It's sad. I love living in the Upper West Side/ almost Harlem area. It's so beautiful and chill. Also, no tourist :)
My job is getting better and better. My co-workers are all really nice and are always down to have a good chat with about their job and the industry. I really hope this internship helps me out in the long run. There's no way I can be unemployed after December... I can't afford to not find a decent job in this industry. I'm feeling scared, yet confident about graduation, but I'm just going to live in the now until I get back to Mich and then I'll worry about finding a real job. :)

I miss everyone! Come visit! hehe.
