Bummer

Do you ever get when you're away for ages and you forget about your life back home? Like how certain things were bringing you down or the routine(s) you had before you left were doing your head in? Or how the weather really tends to mess things up because its oh so shitty? Yeah well I'm back, almost one week, and I cannot WAIT to go back to New York! Even just for the scorching evening temperatures:

And the Emmy goess to......

Alternative and Affordable

I REALLY DON'T want to go home! But all good things must come to an end, but there's still so much for me to do...in theory that is (my flight is at 10pm tonight so I'm keeping it local until next time). I've had lots of fun, I've met some interesting people, seen a whole other way of living that has me all sorts of excited, travelled out of New York a couple of times, spent way more money than I should have, learnt a lot more about myself and the people around me, been put in awkward situations but made the best of them, learned to appreciate the opportunities I've been given, still haven't decided what I'm going to do when I go back home, still sit and daydream how my life is going to turn out.

I'll paraphrase some guy I heard on the street and say this: "If you don't have friends or money...you're nothing in this town!" And he couldn't be anymore correct. Not having familiar faces really does put you in your place here and teaches you to appreciate those who your close to. If I could have changed one thing it would have been having my best friends with me. Ah well at least I'm home in 24 hours and get to go to WAR on Friday. =

I DONT

WANT TO GO HOME!

5 days left

I really should go take some pictures and see some things before I go, you know do the real tourist thing. I've probably said that before but I'm so vacillate in my decisions and haven't actually gone anywhere besides shops and even that hasn't been a success! Anyway I'll make make a list and try my best to ACTUALLY go to all these places.

The Bowery Ball Room
St Jerome's Bar
Smith and Wollensky
Radio City Music Hall
The Metropolitan Opera House
The MET
MoMa
The Statue of Liberty
NYU
That bridge that is always used in movies who's name escapes me
The Empire State Building
The Chrysler Building
Times Square at night
Broadway
The Apollo Theatre
Bryant Park
Central Park
The Plaza
Tiffany and Co
FAO Schwarz
That 'LOVE' statue
Magnolia Bakery
Red Steps at Times Square
Grand Central Terminal

I think that's enough for now....if you have any ideas feel free to throw them this way!

You know what scratch that. I'll come back at Christmas and dig my way through all the snow....or better still come back next summer with more people and tear it up

I dont like playing 'happy family'!
