NYE

It’s snowy/windy here. It seems to have stopped, so thats good. Heels + snow + alcohol = not a good night for me. I am waiting for my friend to get home from work so she can drive me to a parking garage so I can freaking stop worrying about my car. Then we’re going to eat dins (stir fry) and start to get ready.

I made it!
I got here last night around 9. Parking is a bitch, which I expected. The thing about it here is that it is more then just a bitch, it’s impossible. Every street is zoned. I mean I’m all for driving around and squeezing into a tiny little spot, but here it’s literally pointless (from what I can tell). Right now I’m parked in my friends spot in her garage but when she gets...
Woo Hoo!
OK I’m shutting my laptop now so I can finish packing in peace without the dashboard. When I see you all again I’ll be in NY (ok, I’ll really just be in Hoboken..)
BYEBYE OMG LYLAS
I'M DONE
WORKING FOR THE YEAR!!
(edit: I realized this may not seem very impressive considering its December 30th but I am PUMPED. That is all.)

i’m right handed. my <3 is left handed. Note to self, take notice of these things.
Bob Dylan, Ben Franklin, and Isaac Newton you say? I think that puts me in pretty good company.
I’m a born righty, but I’m pretty much ambidextrous in everything. I guess you could say I’m a wannabe lefty.
I’m...
Uh Oh
I have a stomach ache. Probably from that stupid sandwich (omg jk sandwich, you were delicious). Body, please do not vom while I am at work. Kthanks.
Observation
antikris:
There are WAY too many tourists in the city right now. It is times like these where I would welcome living in Brooklyn.
Uh oh I hope real New Yorkers won’t be able to tell I’m a tourist. How embarrassing. I think I’ll get one of thos I Heart NY shirts to blend it, they seem like they would be pretty popular up there.
I feel sleeeeepy.
And sleepy driving is never fun. Might have to rearrange my plans to fit a nap in before MY BIG AWESOME AMAZING TRIP.
Weird Habit:
Whenever I google-map something, I never just print out the directions. I get a piece of paper and write them all out. This is partly because I like to read where I am going so I have a better idea and writing helps me process my thoughts, and partly because I never had a printer before and it’s just a habit.

EDIT, EDIT: Qdoba > Chipotle based on the fact that I ate Qdoba 4 times a week in St. Louis and have only had Chipotle once and they were out of steak. I’ll give it another chance. THERE.
I was kind of wondering about this. They just put a Qdoba near my house. I’ve never been to either. I have been to Baja Fresh, which I really like. Until I read the nutritional...

Motherly advice
Aunt Carrie: Why don't you guys keep those Sparks in the fridge ? They'll get warm
April: No, 'cause we're going to pound them.
Me: That's why I have my keys. We're going to shot gun them.
Aunt Carrie: Okay, well do it on the deck, not in the house.
omg shotgunning sparks? That is some crazy shit man.
Driving from my house to Hoboken:
Googlemaps says 2 hours and 10 minutes. I’m actually pretty good with directions but anything that close to NY scares me. And any directions with Holland Tunnel in them are intimidating.
And I don’t know much about New York (actually I don’t know anything about it really) but I’m hoping that wherever we are going on Wednesday night is far away from Times Square…
The ratio of candy to normal food I have eaten...
Sugar rush. Sugar crash. New Years Resolution #2352408: No more candy.

You know what would make everyone feel better?
A skinny mirror (aka The convex mirror, the woman’s mirror, the diet mirror, the ‘wow I look good’ mirror, and the ‘I will have that dessert’ mirror)
For lunch:
Fat Free yogurt smoothie
Kit Kat and Twix.
I think I’m doing it wrong.
The 5 Types Of New Year's Eve Parties →
(via meredithnyc)
Party Type 1: Oh, this is nice
You usually end up at this party after Tanya can’t come into town after all and cancels or you were just too darn busy to make good plans, real plans, ahead of time. … It’s super awkward at first and you just stand by the cheese and crackers, nodding your head to the music, furtively gulping room-temperature chardonnay and...

I am confused.
Because I’m adorable. Duh.
I think I need to move out.
I was thinking about it on Saturday night. None of my friends were around to go out. I either need morefriends (to go out with) or a new hobby (other then drinking). I think, no, I know that weekends would be more fun if I lived with people other then my parents. It would be easier to plan things, to walk to bars, to have people over. The thing is - I don’t have anyone to live with. None of...
I think I might try that 365 photo thingy.
I mean I know I won’t last the entire year. I have commitment issues. But it would be fun to see how many I could take. 2009 is going to be filled with pictures and books!
