What in the what?! OR New York, New York!
I've been gone for far too long! What is this Facebook/Twitter business? I am pretty much a techtard, and I don't want to accidentally screw myself. I mean, I don't have either Fackbook OR Twitter, so cross posting shouldn't be a problem, but I have learned the hard way, that I can't underestimate my abilities to fuck myself over when I least expect it.
I really gotta read those LJ Messages!
Moving on!
I've been back for a few weeks now, just getting back into the rhythm of life, I guess. Bleh.
But in the process, I have discovered that there is something deeply wrong with me. Something I've always suspected, but never confirmed.
I have no self control when it comes to shopping when I'm on vacation. I don't even like shopping! I mean, at least a home I don't, but man, just take me somewhere different, and I lose all sense. It doesn't even have to be somewhere far or over seas, drop me off an hour outside my city, and you can be sure I'll buy everything in sight.
It's just something about being on a trip, I have this weird mentality that if I see something I like, BUY IT! Because I will never have another chance. EVER!!! And then I'll end up crying myself to sleep, only to dream about it every night for the rest of my crappy, unfulfilled life. THE HORROR!!!
Needless to say, I went shopping for the entire time I was there.
Did I go on a tour of the city? Did I see the Statue of Liberty? Did I see any shows? Did I do anything that didn't lead the wearing down of my credit card?
No, no, no , NO!
I suck. I go to all these cool places, and I never do anything but shop! What is wrong with me?! (No, don't answer that.)
I mean, I went to Times Square but only cuz that where the shopping was at, and I also hit Chinatown, but only cuz I love me some Dim Sum (and to shop), but really, I didn't do too much.
I mean, I have like 6 pairs of new shoes. That's something!
I went all over downtown, and I pretty much owned the transit system, I really can't recall exactly the areas I hit, just that I somehow knew how to get to all the places where shopping was to be had. Instinct? ;P
I think I went into the shop where in Shopaholic, what's-her-face bought that scarf (I bought a dress!), and all down that street, but it's hard to believe. It looked so much more sparkly in the movie!
Oh hey, random! I ate frog legs for the first time (that I can recall) while I was there! It really does taste like chicken, but with more bones! It was really yummy, I had it steamed on sticky rice with these sweet red date thingys and mushrooms, so good!
But sad to report, that despite several assurances that it does exists in the states, I did not come across any 50pc. Chicken Mcnuggets meal on the Mickey D's menu. Very disappointing.
