fun in new york + 2005 recap

well hello people! yes, i changed my layout again, most only because it's not christmas anymore .. so yeah, kinda had to put something for the new year, yeah? wow, i can't believe that it's already the end of 2005! what happened to my year!? hahaha. i decided to write again because this is probably going to be my last post of the new year .. and plus it doesn't hurt that i actually have something to write about and all that good stuff. haha. christmas was pretty cool .. and pretty hectic too, i went to like 3 gatherings in the span of those 2 days. on like 4 hours of sleep too. haha. oh man, midnight mass was so long .. ahahhaha .. but to everyone, i hope you had a super fantastic christmas and got everything you wanted/needed/deserved! lol.

so the day before yesterday [december 27] i hit up new york city with christine the homeslice and gillian the lady. lol. it was pretty frickin awesome .. we went to the museum of modern art which was soo cool because i got to see andy warhol, roy lichtenstein, and picasso and monet in real life! whAat! i felt so honored to be in the presence of greatness. and after getting immersed in modern arts and culture, we hit up random stores on 5th ave and ate @ patsy's [i think] -- some cute little pizzeria on lexington. and then! we went to this frickin awesome dylan's candy bar -- oh man it was candy heaven. but there were too many little kids so i kinda didn't have the patience [or will to spend $12 on a candy container lol] to buy anything in there. though i saw this frickin awesome shirt that said eye candy on it. oh man it was so cute. i wanna have my birthday party there! watch it cost like $102938102938102. poo! maybe after i graduate .. or maybe if i have a buttload of money for my 21st birthday .. he he he .. =) and then we hit up the subway and went to SoHo .. which is pretty frickin awesome .. they have stores in there with madd onitsuka tiger asics and one piece dunks and other nice pieces of expensive merchandise! oh man. next time i will have to pull something out of my broke ass ho budget so i can reeeeallly go shopping in new york. who knew the cost of living there was so high!? oh man! this is probably why i live in new jersey. the state with no tax on clothes. yeah! and i sure did love the all-day pass metro card i got. too bad i forgot to find out how much i had on my other metro card .. oh wells. lol. and it's gonna expire too! whaaaat .. oh wells. haha. and then my mom freaked a freak when it was about 8 pm [i know right?! 8:00 pm!!? go figure lol] and we hit up to head back to penn station to go back to good old new jersey. at least i can say i did something this break .. lol .. i hope to go back again before i have to go back to good old school. so who wants to come?
