The Steps of The Met

Gossip Girl and Sex and the City have been my inspiration during my trip to New York City. Both feature strong independent women who don't take no crap off of nobody! (If you are one of the few people who got that movie reference I am proud of you and I want to know who you are- If you arent one of the talented few to recite lines randomly from Cool Runnings circa 1993- thats alright). The steps of the Met on Gossip Girl played a major role- Its where the power struggles went down at. The higher up on the steps- the higher up you were....

SLO in the City

The most amazing thing happened. ALYSSA SLOCUM CAME TO VISIT!

Intern Par-tayyyy

So DBA threw a little Intern Party- partly because when chatting with Kendra (Co-Founder of DBA) she was flabbergasted that I had come here alone, never been here before and didnt have um..any...friends at that point. So she called up some other office that we work with and Cristy put together a little intern bash!

New York Heat Wave

So I have already written about the Chelsea Piers- and how it is my little oasis here in the City. But I dont feel bad about writing about this place again and again. No matter how much I write about it- I dont think anyone will get how much I love it. 

Sunset over the Hudson

A Day with the Cheeks

This post is dedicated to the Cheeks- the ones who helped me get to New York. Well the whole TigerLogic family helped- but Brian did help me out quite a bit- and thank you so much! Briana was the one who first went to the city last year and is BACK AT IT AGAIN!

Briana has anxiously been awaiting her part in my blog- and I promised her I would make it good. So cheers to DGs taking over the city!

Fa Fa Fa Fashion Time

I apologize for the delay in posts- I have now made friends in the city and have been having less and less time to write. But don't worry- I will get everyone up to speed. 

In New York its about about fashion- and branding yourself. When you go into a job interview you need to sell yourself- and it doesn't hurt to be well dressed (at all times- unless its humid and hot then there is no hope). 

Coney Island

Well it was about time I ventured off the island again. I was feeling a little claustrophobic being on this island for so long- not really though. I grabbed my metro card and hopped on the subway and stayed till the last stop- Coney Island: the land of hot dogs, carnival rides and the Atlantic ocean. This was the first time I had seen the Atlantic ocean too!
I hopped of the subway and the area was deserted. It was Monday after the 4th of July and there was a total of 10 people walking around. at little scary to be at a deserted Coney Island. I had seen picture of this place and there was thousands of people everywhere! not for me which was rather nice.

The High Line & Chelsea Piers

Living in a concrete jungle it is rare to find peace and quiet. Being from Oregon- especially Corvallis it is so easy to find somewhere quiet to be alone. I have been told to walk the High Line so one Saturday that is just what I did. I walked to the beginning of the High Line- a linear park that is built on a one mile former elevated New York City Railroad tracks. Since New York City is already so crowded- they now have to build parks above ground I guess...

4th of July

Every year America's look like the flag threw up on them. Everyone is always red white and blue galore celebrating our freedom by cookouts and drinking too much. It's what we do best. This 4th I was able to spend it in the great city of New York- and let me tell you us New Yorkers (yes I called myself a New Yorker) really know how to celebrate it.

Love

I am in LOVE. 

L is for the way you look at me 

O is for the only one I see 

V is very, very extraordinary 

E is even more than anyone that you adore and 

Love is all that I can give to you 

Love is more than just a game for two 

Two in love can make it 

Take my heart and please don't break it 

Love was made for me and you 

MSNBC & FAO Schwarz

I think New York thinks I'm crazy.
I think its partly due to the fact that sometimes I have conversations with myself while I'm walking. Sorry New Yorkers- I really only have myself to talk to. I walk for miles in the city and I usually try and call people while I am walking so I look less crazy. But eventually I am stuck with myself and the little voices in my head, sometimes I have thought about naming the voices- that's how close we are..
Well anyways- if you get a phone call from me, and dont answer it, just be aware that I am probably then walking down the streets talking to myself.
And no- im not like having a full on conversation to myself out loud. I'm not that crazy.

Well anyway its been a while since I have written. Oops. Sorry.
