So I got here on Saturday. By the time we got back to the city, we were exhausted so we rented a movie.. "Obsessed" with Beyonce.. enough said. It was terrible.. never see it.
Sunday, I unpacked my stuff and then went to dinner with my other cousin who lives here. She lives farrr from where I am staying. I am staying in the lower east side and I went to the Upper West side for dinner. Had some good local NY pizza and then my solo subway excursion home began. I used hopstop.com for my directions there, and it was easy. On the way home, I forgot to hopstop it and figured it would just be the same way home just going downtown instead of uptown. False. I went approx 4 stops too far, then when the opposite direction, got on another wrong train. During my like 908213 different wrong subways, I sat across from some interesting characters. While sitting next to an overweight sweaty man, and by next to, I mean touching arms sweat going on my arm next to, I was sitting across from 4 young boys, maybe like 15 tops, from the DR. How do I know they were from the DR? Ohh maybe the fact that they had folded flags into bandannas around their head.. or maybe their I <3 DR shirts. They also had on beautifulll necklaces made out of condom wrappers. Naturally, I creeped a picture of them on my phone.
After my subway trip ended, I was leaving to walk up the subway when a part greaseball, part hippy, part semi-in-a-weird-way-attractive man came up to me and said "where do you get your hair done?" I explained I was from pittsburgh and was going to be in town for a short time. He didn't care. He tried selling me some spa/hair package for $60, then I talked him down to $30 just because I was being a bitch after my subway time. He was nice, but was not giving up. Then he told me he would give it to me for 30 and two comedy club tickets for the night. No, thanks. I was actually somehow getting convinced by him.. prob because he was constantly harassing me for 10 min and when i said no he would respond why? and then find an answer for every reason i gave. He was a spa selling mastermind of some sort. Finally after making him verify the place via 411 (the place somehow was actually really nice) and showing me 3 forms of ID to prove he wasn't scamming me, I bought it for 20. I can't believe I was suckered into that.. it was rather embarrassing really, but now I have to use that freaking coupon or it will be a waste. when I was about to leave, my new skeez hipster friend said "well facebook me. If you don't have a boyfriend I would love to hang out. You know I didn't just stop you because of your hair, I stopped you because you were hot." of course, I just didn't acknowledge that he said anything. Then I walked away. About half way down the block, I hear him SCREAM "FACEBOOK ME!" ...cool. I then had to take a block detour not to pass him on my way back to the apt.
Today, I did some exploring, got a copy of the key.. which I can't properly use. It takes me about 10 min to get in every time. really great. I went to a local park where I had a great conversation with a hot man. And by hot man, I mean homeless man and by conversation I mean he said "Hey Goldie Locks." hahah wtf.
Anyways, I have to do my only job now which is walk the dog so bye people!
