If you guessed my weekend, then DING DING DING! you're right! And if you guessed that the number one rule for this week is NO FUN ALLOWED then you're right again. There was way too much fun for one week last week- so this week if you catch me having any, definitely remind me that rules exist for a reason...
I can't believe I haven't written for a week- having too much fun I guess...Halloween was really intense. Can't say that I have a really strong desire to go back to the Village for Halloween. You literally could not move in the streets. You would try, but actually you would just stand there. There was a lot of people being crazy and having fun though, so I'm glad we experienced it at least once!
I got my first grad school grades this week- an A and a B+!! This inspires confidence. And fear. The pressure's on now...
On Thursday I was lucky enough to go to the Broadway opening night of Grey Gardens and it was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever done. I got dressed up in my fanciest outfit and went down to the theatah and everyone was taking pictures. Someone even took my picture because they said I was so so beautiful. It's true... The show was of course great and Paul got about a million presents (it's really great to be on Broadway I guess) and then we got to go to the fanciest party at the Boat House in Central Park (it doesn't really get a lot better than that). They chartered about 10 buses to take what I think was the entire theater to the restaurant. The party was packed- with food, drinks, and fancy people. I've never seen so many crab cakes, shrimp, steaks, or carrot cakes. And it was really amazing because when you would take something, it was like it was immediately magically replaced. Like when I took the last piece of carrot cake, as soon as I put the spatula back down, another cake was in its place. It was like Willy Wonka or something. We pretty much shut the party down and then had to figure out how to get out of Central Park in the middle of the night. And, yes, we walked in Central Park at night, which seemed to be the number one thing people told me not to do in New york. We survived.
Friday I had an internship event and met some cool people that I might do internships with. Or maybe not. We'll see. It's pretty intense when you throw about 100 people in a room and expect them to do nothing but network and eat cheese. Then I went out to an amazing restaurant with the girls from the program. I just love exploring the Village. There are so many neat places that I would never go to on my own. It's exciting that I could eat somewhere different every night and not get to every great restaurant. After that, we met our friend Scott (aka Hott) from college and went to a place in the East Village called the Burp Castle. It's completely true. Well it's the most fun bar EVER because you're not allowed to talk loudly in it! Perfect for me because I'm a loser who hates loud places!!! We pretty much shut the place down and didn't get home until almost 5. We are cuh-razyyyy New Yorkers now. We saw the craziest rat fight in the subway too. Those rats are nasty to each other.
So Saturday, because we had stayed out to all hours, was not the productive day it should have been...I did go to an AMAZING play with my group from my management classes at LAByrinth Theater. I haven't seen something so intense and wonderful in a while. AND I saw Kyra Sedgwick. With my own two eyes, I have finally seen a real live famous person. Just walking into the theater like a normal human. I guess she left Kevin Bacon at home that night. Of course we went out after and my weekend of foolishness continued. but again, I felt like an awesome New Yorker. There was a man on the subway who smelled worse than anything I've ever smelled in my whole life. We got on the car (which was empty except for him), almost passed out, and got immediately out at the next stop. It was so sick. And so sad. He was still there when we happened to see the same train the next day. I hope he's not dead or somehting!!!
Sunday was a bit more productive, but only a bit. It was an absolutely beautiful day, as we've been lucky to have almost every day this fall. I'm dreading when the rain will start again, because this has been perfect. We went and watched the New York City Marathon for a little while and it was amazing. So inspiring to watch those people finish a marathon. We barely saw the winners because even after running 26.2 miles they were still running so fast you could barely see them. We missed Lance Armstrong, but I saw him on TV so I'll pretend we were still there when he passed where we were standing in the park. Then last night we intended to stop by a super gay birthday party at a friend's in Chelsea. Well the cosmopolitans just happened to be really good, and also just happened to be extremely strong. And I had a few too many. It was a long trip home. Believe me. And today was not so fun. I was being punished for having too much fun, so now NO FUN ALLOWED.
We did finally have our picnic in the park today. And we were graced with some gorgeous leaves and sunshine.
