Weekend in New Jersey!
So today was the most wonderful of days in the freezing-cold New York City without anyone trying as hard as possible to find a white suit or a white dress, or anything resembling such a thing. Apparently, no one in New York realizes that the colour white actually exists. They all wear black. None of them wear green either. I was standing in the subway with my green pants on and my green shoes and everyone else was wearing black and I totally stood out. Then I went and saw Sky and we talked about the whole "New York" look, and apparently, black is just the New York Colour. But according to sky, green is the new black, so I might be preceding some sort of fashion statement. I'm always like that. I used to wear all the shit that people think is "cool" now, when I was in about 3rd grade. Guess it's just my personality. Of course, everyone thinks i'm crazy for wearing it at the time. *shrug* So back to my story, walking around cold new York City for both Saturday and Sunday trying to find some sort of resemblence of a graduation type dress/ baccalaureate pant suit, and I suppose Im' out of luck. It's probably better that I try again in the spring. Tomorrow I'm going to try Englewood, New Jersey's bridal shop. John and I are going to go together, which, according to Nancey, is going to look slightly funny with a man as old as my father and I walking into a bridal shop, but she cares too much what people think. But it's worth a try. Maybe it will have something. at least I can ensure that something, at least one thing, in that store will definately be white. One would hope at least. If it isn't, i dont know what the world is coming to.
So aside from my adventures through the City trying to find a dress, I also experiences awesome Italian food in Sky's neighborhood, in which the owner of the restaurant greeted us and actually kissed us on the cheeks when we left (you know, in the european sense, not the eww old man sense). The food was amazing though, so we were okay. sky got this vegetable pasta thing with some sort of white sauce and lots of garlic (mmm I love garlic), and I got Shrimp Scampi, which was amazing, and it also came with some spaghetti and pasta sauce which was pretty good, but not as good as the Shrimp. That was just orgasmic. Tomorrow Nancey, John, and I are going to Max's to get more really good Italian food (not the same restaurant though), and I'm going to get some really good home made pasta. And Sky and I also went and saw Rent on Saturday (my 2nd time) which is the most amazing show in the world. I was, of course, crying, as I always do, even when I just listen to the soundtrack. It is so wonderful. The acting and the singing wasn't quite as good as it was last time, though. I'm going to have to take Matt to see that someday. I think he'll like it. I dont think he'll cry though. I wonder if he'll mind when I do.
So that has been my weekend, and it is still continuing on in a promising way considering the fact that there are two more days to this glorious break. I am so very excited, because I really needed a break such as this. And I am still counting down until graduation! So exciting! I think it's 126 days now. I'm excited for when it becomes 100 days. We're all goingto have a big party. Not really,but it's going to be exciting. Last time everyone will have to view my crappy 1 on the wall, they'll just have to view all the rest of the crappy letters that I put up there, so that they can count down or what not. I still can't believe someone iddn't make a countdown before i did. I figured there would be more people who would have been bored. Unfortunately for myself, I have turned into quite the slacker, althoguh last week I managed somehow to get all my assignments done and crap, except for that HORRIBLE physics test which I wouldn't have been able to study for anyways. Hopefully he just won't count it. That is my wish. Grant it, please, God.
And matt is mopping the floor right now for big mr CEO coming to town to check out their store, so the poor guy has to stay there until, like, midnight, so that he can mop and all of that crap. And then, I think he actually has to open tomorrow. I know I'm really proud of him and all for getting this giant job promotion and all of this stuff, and he's awesome and amazing and everything, but it saddens me slightly :( that he has to continue to work his f'ing ass off in order to continue climbing the ladder toward more and more money and better and better jobs. But I suppose that is just how life works. Get a promotion, work harder, more money, another promotion, harder work, even more money. But as long as he is happy with lots of people in mind for his future (like, me for example), then I am alright. And Matt, if you read this (which you probably don't), you make me proud and I love you.
I don't think I'll ever be able to live a life like that, though. I think maybe I'll be a professor so that I still get school-type holidays and I also make a lot of money. Exciting, right? I think so. Maybe I'll be a classics professor, that'll be fun. Anyways, even though I am utterly bored right now ( I keep accidentally typing board...), I am going to possibly eat some food and watch a movie. Later!
