I don't think I say it enough so here it goes: I heart Manhattan. I am already used to my three hour sleeping schedule. I woke up yesterday morning and Jessie and Lane weren't there and when I went downstairs Manhattan wasn't there. So, I just went back to bed a lil broken-hearted.
The first day Daniel showed us around. It was very interesting seeing the town in all its filth. I think it really is the dirtiest city ever. Our hotel as they so loosly call it said "hostile" on the sign when you walk in. Lane and I were a bit culture shocked to say the least at first glance. It didn't help that they didn't turn on the heat that first night and it got around 30 degrees outside. We didn't notice either that the window was open so it was fucking cold!
Anyway, Lane and I went everywhere and saw everything. we saw the statue of Liberty, Battery park, SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, Times Square, Broadway, Empire state building, Ground Zero, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Rockefellar Center, Penn Station, Wall Street, and lots of other stuff. We went partying at night and site seeing during the day so I am now used to a 3 hr sleep schedule.
We got a trans pass so we took the subway ALOT! In fact, we ended up at the Coney Island substation at one point cause we took the wrong train. Lane was still very impressed with my subway skills. We did take a cab 4 times. By the time the wee morning hours hit it's like and hour and a half faster.
The Cuerova was very cool. Jessie, God love her, made the innocent mistake of asking me to hold her license. I really wanted to keep it. I really tried to keep it. We went to our day after party for our premiere and I got pretty drunk. I remember having it for the longest time and that's about it. The next day it was gone. I'm so fucking pissed. I can't believe I lost her ID. I was just really drunk n such. Note to everyone out there: never give me shit to keep track of when I am doing something that makes me a main focus of attention. If I am networking or celebrating something that has to do with me just say no to drugs. Cause I promise I will forget. I have the shortest attention span I swear! I love you Jessie!
So anway, we did miss our premiere. I was very sad about that. There was apparently a huge party afterwards I wish I had gone too. But what do you do? I didn't hear anything about it. We went the the next nights showing. I am only in the movie for a few seconds, but it's cool. I got my Producer's Assistant credit and that made me happy. The film was pretty good. There were a few things that could be tweaked but such is life.
I found an FCUK store in SoHo and thus is one of the highlights of my happiness! Oh yea and we went partying with Joe, one of the guys frm the flick, Mon night. That was ten colors of crazy! It was one of the elite groups in NYC. There is this site called something like afterparty.com and they go to the top 5 parties of the night and take pictures. Then they post them and tell all about eh party the next day. They were there taking pictures and there were all these guys in drag. That was freaking amazing. The best looking drag queens on the planet. Why do gay men have the best bodies?! I took pics of a bondage Mickey Mouse queen and a bondage Kiss queen. It was freaking insane.
The only thing I did not do that I wanted to was go to a broadway play. By the time I got my ass to the ticket booth to get a ticket all the shows I was interested in seeing were sold out or not playing that night. I was pretty dissappointed but such is life.
In any event, it was a blast and Danielle was right when she said I would love it and never want to come back! It was a real learning and growing experience. I learned alot about people and myself. I am constantly amazed at the way some people choose to live and the rep they choose to offer themselves. I'll add more later I'm sure. There is just soo freaking much to say! It was my first plane ride and i have to say "I fucking love flying!" I can't wait to go back! I'm so pissed at myself for not going to NYU. I got accepted years ago and I let my dad talk me out of it! Fuck me running for that. But then I guess had I gone there instead i would not know most of you. So there is some good of it. I will be at the club tonight if Brad doesnt end up getting the concert tickets he is going to try and get. Otherwise, see you Sunday! Im going to go attempt to go back to sleep. My legs want a divorce they are soo tired.
Ok this is so stupid but since you brought it up and totally missed the mark: The only thing I was ever mad at was getting screamed at for going out and letting my roomates get more than 3 hrs sleep. Then, getting repeatedly snapped at for it even after I sincerely apologized for not waking you up. I really thought I was being nice by letting you sleep. I was not mad that they were not with us that first day. I was a little sad but again thought I was doing the right thing. Also, got pretty pissed the 3rd time they ran off and didn't even stop to see taht Lane and I had fallen way behind. But, none of it ruined my trip. Sorry to dissappoint those who's trip seemed to get ruined cause you spent more time trying to get in someone's pants instead of seeing the city. I got to see everything I wanted, met some amazing people, and partied like a rockstar! Too bad everyone didn't have as nice of a time.
