exhausted. got into nyc this morning at 7:30ish and took public transportation to TN’s place. i snuck into her bed while she was showering and ended up passing out until 2:30. luckily, she was a bit hungover today and didn’t mind napping either. when we finally left the house, it was close to 4pm. of course, i had to do the requisite stop at uniqlo and spent WAY more than i intended (though, i swear, all the clothing i bought was necessary). we then took the train to ktown to dine on gam me oak’s delicious-hangover-curing oxtail noodle soup. oh man! i haven’t had it since i moved and i wanted to cry it was so good. THEN we finished and walked down to my friend’s pre-wedding party at brass monkey. it was a nice venue – a bit fratty for my taste, but still nice to catch up with friends and friends of friends. when i’m asked to be a part of ceremonies, i end up being MORE nervous than the bride and groom most of the time. i know — doesn’t make any sense.
oh new york. how i love you in the springtime. we walked along the highline today as the sun was setting and it was just gorgeous blue skies all the way across to dirty jers. i can’t believe i’m here for less than 72 hours. i definitely put way too many eggs into the foundation position that i didn’t end up getting. it’s a bit awkward being asked what i do… professional temp? i have been answering that i’m “in the performing arts” more, which is probably a good step towards accepting myself as a performer/artist and defining myself as such. i really wanted to check out a broadway show while here, but neither time nor funds will allow. alas!
time to get some beauty rest. hopefully i can update somehow somewhere tomorrow though not likely. soooo see you in a few!
