I bet you're wondering why I have a photo of Times Square up there.
Well, being the spontaneous-ish person that I am, I agreed to go back {duh!} with my friend who's auditioning for The Voice tomorrow in NYC! We're catching a bus tonight at ten, then hightailing it to the city that never sleeps. {Appropriate choice of words, eh? Eh? Because, erm, we won't be sleeping much. You get it.}
Awkward
- Waking up at four am to a mysterious and invisible thing in my eye. First, how does one manage t get something in their eye when they're asleep? And second, ouch! My eye was bloodshot and watering like crazy - I'm sure I looked quite scary.
- Getting compliments on my red hair, but then the complimenter proceeds to watch me for several minutes... Ummm, can I help you?
- Fried ice cream. I don't understand how it works, but it does,which makes it... kind of awesome?
- Now that I'm done with the show, I have a lot more free time than I have all semester, which you would think would be awesome, but somehow, it feels slightly {dare I say it?} boring. And yet, I'm still grateful for it. Which is why it's mostly just awkward.
- A "customer" {who we decided must be a homeless man - he was in a pretty rough, erm, dirty shape} take out a bottle of alcohol, spill all over the floor where he's sitting, then pass out in a drunken stupor on the counter he's sitting at. It was unfortunate on multiple levels.
Awesome
- One of my coworkers brought some lovely yellow daffodils to work today and set them up on the windowsill by the bar. A nice little bit of spring to admire while fervently wishing the rest of it would stop slacking and just make a full on appearance. For good - or at least until summer.
- It's officially spring break! Cue happy dance arm.
- I'm going back to New York! More happy dancing.
- TWICE! Full on happy dancing.
Be back on Sunday, probably to rave about New York.
