Dishing on Everything

So I'm in NY as you all probably know. Well how do I start?

Tip 1: Don't go out wandering in New York without a map when you have a certain place you want to go. I spent forty mins wandering around the city trying to find Kimmel only to find that I was totally offbase

(Sidenote: Why can't I download the You Got Game PV??? For some reason I can't establish connection with the server.. :( I'm so sad! I want to see that! I have like a week and a half until I can get the actual DVD... )

(Sidenote x2: GOT IT!!!! LOVE IT!!! *dies* KIMERU!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!)

(Sidenote x3: THINGS ARE SO FAST! An FMA eppie in 6 mins? I never thought it possible!)

Never try to multitask. I'm still trying to read a fanfic and write to Masha... Will be back later to continue dishing since I haven't really dished at all...

Okay, I'm starving right now. I pretty much skipped a formal dinner (unless you count a couple of cearal bars and a package of sugar puff pastries a dinner) without my mother directing my actions. That's bad since I think this won't be the first time I'm going to be doing this. This means either of two things: 1) I'm going to get very fat from eating very non-nutritional foods or 2) I'm going to become anorexic because I won't be eating.

Or I'll get fat and become anorexic as well. Great huh?

Am I over-reacting? It's just one dinner skipped. I do tend to over-react but if you don't catch these things early... But then again, maybe this is too early. I don't know.

So, getting lost. Well, I left half an hour early for the seating of "Reality Show" (a stupid CAS thing that everyone must go to) because I knew I didn't know my way around. I've been to the Kimmel center before but I've never actually been to Kimmel from Third North.

And then I got lost. I got some directions from the girl working at the office but she was no help. She told me to go to Broadway and I never found Broadway.

I somehow walked in the other direction and got totally lost (and feeling very scared since I was unfamiliar with the city, lost and totally alone). I finally ended up at another NYU dorm (I think it was Stuyvesant) and there was a map and then I navigated myself to Kimmel with 10 mins to spare. See, seating starts at 8 but the thing doesn't until 8:30 and I left at 7:30 and I got there at 8:20.

The thing sucked by the way. I mean it was amusing at times but overall, I didn't like it. We were in a different room (since we got there late and the auditorium filled) and all we had was a recording of it. At first we thought it was used before, like last year (except I knew the year before did a different book than us so it didn't make sense) but then we realized it was just in a different room being broadcast to us. And since we felt cheated (a guy behind me said he felt insulted and I agree with him) we didn't really interact like the people in the first room did with the actors... And we were allowed to skip out of the discussion! Who knows how long that would have lasted?

I made it back pretty quickly now that I had an idea of how to get back to the dorm. It wasn't that bad because I FOUND BROADWAY and then found 4 ave. and then from there I found 3rd ave and it was clear sailing. I did get turned around a bit but it was all good. I made it in less time than going there, definitely.

As I said before I'm moving again tomorrow. My entire room is filled with smokers and it's starting to bother me a bit. My roommate is so considerate though! She knows I don't smoke and our room is completely smokefree (except when the door is open and wiffs of it comes in). I don't want to lose her but I think I'll have to...It's too bad though! Hopefully I get a good roommate still...

But moving aside from the smoking thing has some benefits. Rebecca likes her music loud (and her room is right next to ours) and apparently the others encourage it. I can't imagine being able to study under those sort of circumstances. Smoking already lowers brain function but really loud music?

Still, it'll be a chore to move everything again. Hopefully I'll be placed in a different room in the same building since I really hate to have to go to Goddard or something like that. I mean, we are the largest freshman dorm in the country with over 1100 students but I still want to stay here. I mean I just bought a microwave and a rice cooker. They were so hard to transport today and to move them again? Not looking foward to it at all. :( And what about my microwave? What if the people I'm moving in with already has one? Or worse, two? That'll suck too.

Okay, going back to two days ago since it's now 1:30 AM. We left home at 4:30 and we got on our flight okay. I had worried about our bags not getting to NY (I had a paring knife in one of them) because we just left them on the floor with all the other baggage at security for them to get x-rayed. But they arrived, yay! There were no delays, yes! I didn't sleep on the flight to Denver but I slept mostly all the way from Denver to LaGuardia. I even missed the inflight movie (Garfield) which is something that I was surprised about myself as well.

We got to our dorm okay (our taxi driver rocks! much better than the one I had coming from Newark) and I unpacked. We went out for Thai food (okay but not all that great) and shopped a bit before coming back to the room. There my mom organized a get together with all of her friends while I slept.

Then we went to Brooklyn for the night. It took them so freaking long to get here to pick us up! It was Emily's sister and her boyfriend (pretty cute). We called their dad and he said there was an accident and we were like "them?!" and he told us no, that it was an accident on the street and they were backed up because of it. So they got here like 1h and 30 after they said they would.

Today, we started off the day with going out for Dim Sum. I bought my ethernet cable (since I conveniently forgot it and my deoderant at home) there. At the restaurant I was able to avoid having to eat that nasty bitter gourd and beef chow fun. I mean I like bitter gourd but even I draw the line sometimes. Thank god he didn't make bitter gourd soup again. I would have to kill myself if I have to stomach another bowl of that stuff... Last time I was here, he forced two down my throat. :\

God, I'm feeling dizzy again... Those flucuations... Am I sleepy? I don't think so...

My ethernet cable keeps getting under my chair. The thing rocks so it sometimes slips under there when I rock back and forth. I should have gotten a 20' cable... My mom bought a 50' with thoughts that it would be used in my room but now... I don't know what's going to happen now...

I've been downloading crazy today. I've got PoT 127 and FMA 28. FMA downloaded in like 6 mins! I couldn't believed it! It's amazing! PoT took longer since it was BT but it still was pretty fast. It was about five hours, a great change from 14 at home. I also have a couple of doujinshi. Yay! Doujinshi. I gotta make sure my roommate isn't here when I read them because they're all yaoi.

And come to think of it, all the people in my dorm isn't at home right now. They're all out.

I'm talking to Merrie for the first time... It's so sad!

Speaking of sad, I did break down. My sister said I would probably break down the second night I'm here (and for all I know, I probably will still) when it all hits me but I broke down last night in Brooklyn. It was just so sad. I can see my home in my minds eye but I won't be going back there for a while... :( God, I want to cry right now...

Okay, mind on better things! Fanfics! I'm going to catch up on my fanfic reading and hopefully anything I forgot to mention will come to me soon. If not, ja.

edit x1: I have some GMAIL invites to send out... If on the off chance that anyone sees this entry (which is unlikely) and will like one, please post your email address.

God, it's 3 AM in the morning, I was going to go to bed, Rebecca has her music blasting from her room, they've invited some guys up and my door is open. Shit. Fucking shit. Fuck. I guess I'll go read some more fanfics and hope they don't stay too long and they decide it's a bit too late to be staying up? Whatever. I knew I should have gone to bed before they came. Those damn smokers (joking normally and should be taken as such after this time because right now I do mean it)... I should have known they'd be trouble. Why else would people poison themselves anyway? Well, with the exception of my roommate but I'm not sure how she ranks right now since she's the one to leave the door open... Damn it. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to seem like I'm isolating this room but I really don't want it to be smelling like smoke as I'm trying to sleep. God damn it. I expected more from a smart Korean like Rebecca. But then again she is from New Jersey. People from this coast are a bit less health conscious as they are in uber fit, uber hip Hood River where everyone is health conscious. Okay, I think I'm getting a bit sick... I wonder if one day of inhaling second hand smoke is enough for me to get cancer and die?
