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.

The Heat

Disclaimer: Thank you Maggie Swalko and Danielle for the Ticket to The Heat! I had an amazing time!

My Ticket

If there is one thing that you take away from reading this post.. or maybe this entire blog... is that you MUST go see the movie The Heat- staring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. By far my favorite movie right now- well one of my favorites. Its right up there with Cars, Sex and the City, Blind Side and Pretty Woman (I know my movie choice isn't the most normal..) Made by the same director of Bridesmaids, and with a hint of action. It was the perfect combination of all emotions. I laughed, I was very scared and I may or may not have shed a tear or too- wait.. the tears may have been because I saw Ben Affleck- but that's a whole other paragraph.
So if you don't know what movie I am talking about here is the link to the movie sight. And I will give you a nickle if you don't laugh at least once during it.

Maile and Me

I am so happy that I was able to spend last Monday with my DG sister Maile! And boy was it a great day for us! Maile met me at my room- and I took her on my special uptown tour of "see as much as possible and walk as much as possible." The starting rate is 'keep me company' and goes all the way to 'lets have a great time.' I don't ask much for payment of my tours- usually because I get company and that's just fine with me.

But before you read any further- I MUST tell you the craziest moment Maile and I experienced in Times Square. There are tons of characters walking around times square- Buzz and Woody, Batman, Statue of Liberty (well 2 of them...) you get the picture- the ones from Disneyland.. Well we were passing Minnie Mouse and all of a sudden Minnie lifts her head piece, throws up, and just walks away. About 15 people must have all seen it- and we all stood there in shock, thinking "did that really just happen." Com'on Minnie- there are kids everywhere. I will never have the same idea of Minnie Mouse anymore- she hit an all time low that morning, Sunday night must have been too much fun for her..

Sex&TheCity

Sometimes I wonder if I was someone in my past life, of if I will be someone in my next life. Let me tell you- I no longer wonder who I was or will be, because I already chose! You may say it doesn't work like that, you can't choose- well I don't care I did. I will be..drum roll please...
