Welcome back, to me!

After five weeks of being totally out of touch with the city, I am FINALLY back! WHOOO HOOO!

As you can tell, I'm super excited to be back! Friday morning, I took a bus to Buffalo from Fredonia. Then from Buffalo, I got on the New York bound MegaBus. The bus was supposed to arrive at 2:15pm. It came at like 2:40, how fucking LAME. What was MORE lame, is that the bus was late getting to everywhere else. On the bus ticket, it said that I would arrive in New York by 10:00 that night. However, that was not the case. Since the bus was super late, my arrival was well overdue by an hour. Thanks Megabus, for the major delay. Totally UNappreciated.

Anyway, at least I made it back. I guess that's all that counts. When the bus finally drove out of total darkness and into bright city lights, I was about to jump out of my seat! I recognized everything and knew where I was. But, I have to admit. When I stepped off of that bus and started walking and rolling my mini suitcase, I felt a bit awkward. It was weird that I was finally back. I mean, I loved it, but it was kinda of weird. Obviously, it was because I haven't been back in the city for five weeks. After seeing trees, green grass, and really clean floors everywhere, it has to be a little weird coming back, ya know? And I totally forgot how to walk around in the city. Also, the fact that I was rolling around a suitcase... not so fun.

I rolled over to the D train station and had to carry my suitcase down the million flight of stairs. It felt like torture, but I was really excited to get onto the train. I never thought I'd ever say this, but I actually missed the smelly, dirty, train stations. Hard to believe, but 100% true. Underground, it was surprisingly hot. Either it was just really hot, or I was just having a really hard time handling my luggage. Anyway, the train came and I stood the whole way back to Brooklyn. Mostly because my ass was numb from sitting 10 hours on the bus. Once in Brooklyn, my three dude friends came to pick me up! How kind of them, hmm? I promised them I'd go have a late night dinner with them, so we went to our usual.

Vegas diner is only two blocks away from my house. It's a 24/7 diner, always open, and it's always there when you want a good breakfast or if you're bored. I've been going to that diner since 5th grade. The food isn't the best, but I have so many great memories there that I can't ever abandon that diner. It was a tradition to go there after every show with my same three dude friends and now we're probably gonna make it a tradition to go whenever we're back from school. At the diner, Jon took my phone and did his usual search. Ever since this one night, he has made it a ritual to check my phone for stupid, funny, and sometimes naughty text messages. He's such a jerk for that. :) In addition to that, his other ritual is to send one of my girl friends a dumb text. Last night's text message included "I am naked. I love you when I'm naked". Thanks, Jon. Anyway, we ordered food and ate... well they ate. I thought I would be starving, but when I got my food, I couldn't eat any of it. I just could not eat. I don't know if it was because all three of them (Jon, Morgan, and Kevin) told me that I had gained weight, or that I couldn't just eat. I told them that I just couldn't eat, and they said it was because of my cigarettes and gave me a whole lecture on me smoking. Those hypocrites. In the end, my dinner totally went to waste. Oh well. Vegas diner will always be there, I didn't even have pay! It's so lucky being girl.

Today, I took my beloved D train to Broadway Lafayette (SOHO), met up with my amazing best friends Abigail and Phil, and did some shopping! Oh god, you don't understand the excitement I felt while walking around and shopping. In Fredonia, it's impossible to shop, the nearest convenience store is four miles away. You don't want to walk anywhere. Meanwhile, in the city, I would walk everywhere, and it would never feel like I walked that far. It was just such a great day :). I missed this great big city so much.

After shopping, Abby and I went on the train. Silly me decided to sit down. I say silly because I picked the worst seat ever. It was the two seater that's next to the window. In front of us would be the three seaters. This creepy old chick with a slight mustache was sleeping and literally about to fall. Her head would be propped up against the wall and then all of a sudden, her head would be slipping off to the right. She would have fallen right on me! But right before she touched me, she would bring her head back up...then fall again. Seriously, there were times where she was really getting a little too close to me. It was scary :[. But, hey. That's New York, huh? Me and Abby really wanted to just wake her up, but decided that that would have been rude. But she just kept getting closer and closer. So I just slightly tapped her with my shopping bag. I had to do it!

When I got back home, we had a whole feast! We had lobster, this yummy beef dish, veggies, and chicken. Home cooked food is the greatest! And then, washed it down with a beer (yeah, my family lets me drink :]). YUMMM.

Such a nice day. I might have trouble leaving on Tuesday. I'm not going to want to!
