NYC Day 2

Well, I was the first to wake up of course, at 8:45am. It was my job to get everyone else up and ready in time to be at the Jackman's by 11:30am. We are out the door around 10:17am, and have to stop to get breakfast, we end up going to the corner fruit stand where I got an apple, Matt got a peach and a banana, and Chelsea got grapes with seeds, or as she called them, nuts. We took the Subway to Greenwhich Village and was really loving the whole atmosphere there. Everything seemed really mellow and hip. When we got to their street Chelsea was hyperventilating and eventully called Deb to find out what to do next. She just have us her address and said be there (or be square...not really) at 11:30am. So we had no idea what floor(s) they lived on, so Chelsea had the bright idea to ask the Doorman who lead us into the lobby. He sent us up in the elevator which opened right up to their apartment. It was like we were in a movie. We get out and I yell "Hello?" Nadine replies "Come on in guys!" Then Deb came about and showed us around. Took us downstairs to Oscar and Ava's domain, and into the craft room where we met Leticia, Paul, and Tristan. We then did some drawings until lunch was ready. We had baked Chicken, pumpkin, potatoes, bread, and arugula salad for lunch, it was delicious! I have never had pumpkin before! I asked Deb how it was made and she said it was just baked with some onions and Ghee. I will definitely make this one day. Then Matt, Chelsea and I went out on their balcony and took a pic. The view is amazing! You can even see the Statue of Liberty!

After lunch Hugh came home. He asked me what I was up too and I told him school, and how I wasn't crazy about my classes. He says "Just take a year off, and figure out what you want to do. That's what I did. Then I found acting." So now, of course, I am reevaluating my life. Thanks Hugh! Oh, and Nadine of course has to tell us to just move to New York. "Just pick up and move, it's that easy. Just go to school here, or don't go. Just like that." Thanks a lot Nadine! After Hugh had lunch we all went to the park to play a game of football, aka, soccer. I have to say, I'm not a sports guy but I did have a good time. I talked to Paul about stocks and how anyone can make money if they just stick to one market and watch the trends. So I just might give that a try. Paparazzi were everywhere of course. Very strange being around that. Hugh picked me to be on his team, along with Chelsea and Matt, Oscar, Tristan, and Paul were the opposing team. We pretty much sucked it up. But I have to say I did do much better than I thought in my Sassy Boots.  Here is one of the pics part of me is in. I feel like it's a puzzle. My head is in one, my belly in another, and my boots and legs in this one. Matt was in like 2098409284 photos. Which was GREAT, another thing to go straight to his head.

After soccer we went to the meat-packing district and visited the Highline. Which is just old railroad tracks with some grass on it. After we were planning on going to Chelsea, then we ran into Nadine at the  Apple Store. We meet up with her and she showed us around Chelsea, and took us to Chelsea Market. Where everything is overpriced, but is a really cool place to shop and hang if you want to spend some dough. Nadine gave us some tips on what to do and where to eat, before she departed our little pow wow. We then went to the WTC Memorial. There was nothing there but a plastic wall. So that was a let down. We also made our way to St. Peter's Catholic Church, but they were closed. So we had to figure out what to do next. We ended up taking the subway to brooklyn, unknowingly ended up on the Brooklyn Bridge, where we walked across from Brooklyn to Manhattan. 

We then made our way to John's pizza where we ate delicious New York style pizza. After John's we really didn't know what to do. We couldn't drink, we couldn't go out to clubs. So we walked around Greenwich Village and just thought about what a fabulous day we had. Until we got tired of that and went to Times Square for a McDonalds Milkshake. We got our frosty little treat and then sat outside Times Square for awhile before we went to the Red Steps and stayed there for what seemed like 10 years. I was dead tired and wanted to go home but we have night owl Chelsea and follow the leader Matt who apparently weren't tired at all. So, I whined, of course. Until I just walked away and then Matt was being paparazzi taking pictures of me. I tried hiding, but little did I know he was taking a video as well. 

I was extremely cranky so after they got their picture fix we got to go back to the apartment. By the time we got back it was around 2:00am-ish. I was dead. I went straight to bed. I'm sure something crazy went on after I was asleep.

I don't know why mine isn't as long as Chelsea's and Matt's. Guess you'll just have to read their's. :)

 I guess you'll have to read Chelsea and Matt's blog for that! Check out the pics also!

Not Much Today

Today, what happened today? Well, the normal went on during classes, I was falling asleep in my religion lecture but other than that mostly normal. I laid out in the Diag again prior to my biology class listening to some jams. After classes Matt and I drove to Matt's house and hung out for a little bit until Chelsea Kirchoff and Betsy Hensley came over. We then watched Are You Afraid of the Dark? and I of course fell asleep.

If you don't know me well, I have a hard time staying up late. Especially when i am watching TV, I seem to fall asleep much faster. So I of course fell asleep until around 12, then I get woken up by the three stooges telling me to "Get up! We're going somewhere." Of course I didn't want to go, I just wanted to sleep, but I reluctantly got up and went with them to this unknown location.

Little did I know we were going to the Ghetto! Over on Henry Ruff, South of Michigan Ave. is this spooky, scary, dark cemetery. We drove by once and seen a black cat walking into the cemetery, that was a sign for me, but not for my friends! They turned around and drove into the cemetery, which by the way is only about as big as a large yard. Matt and Chelsea convinced Betsy to park the car and get out, I stayed in the car with Betsy's hoodie over my head saying the Lords Prayer over and over again. I dont like cemeteries as it is, and to go to one at night, in the ghetto, while not paying respect to the dead, I felt odd. Anyways, they came back alive and all was well.

We then drove in a giant circle from Dunkin Donuts on Wayne Rd. to the Dunkin Donuts on Ford road and Wildwood, back to the Dunkin Donuts on Wayne Rd. where I redeemed my free med. Pumpkin Latte, which was disgusting, and a bosten cream donut. The donut was good, the drink not so much. Panera has REALLY good pumpkin spice latte, and they will blend it for you! Taste just like pumpkin pie! This stuff tasted like coffe mixed with pumpkin syrup, YUCK!
Of course we consumed the products inside the shop and sang to Celine Dion, which was playing on the radio, and discussed random topics.

Betsy then drove back to Matt's house, dropped us off and went home. Now I am watching REPO The Genetic Opera with Matt and Chelsea. I am not a night person so we will see how long this coffee caffeine lasts before I crash.

 Sorry, not much went on today. For your enjoyment I will post another picture I like :)

This is a bacon cheeseburger fron Tony's Restaurant in Birch Run, MI. It has 1 lb. of bacon. You can split it with at least two people, you know I have a big appetite, and still have bacon left over for a week. 

This was taken when Betsy, Matt, Amy and myself went to Frankenmuth/Birch Run for Spring Break, my friends and I LOVE food if you haven't guessed that yet.
