I’ve been really apprehensive about writing about my daily goings-on because I’m paranoid that someone I know IRL will recognize me…but now i’m kind of thinking screw it. I guess I’ll take that chance. I think I’ve been pretty careful enough in keeping this anonymous.
I went to New York (Manhattan, specifically) for a couple of days with my mom. I really really liked it. I think I want to transfer there. I just felt like there was so much to see and do there, unlike the area I live in now, as nice as it may be.
I went to the Metropolitan Museum first; I really liked it there. I think my favorite part was either the pop art exhibit or the photography, although the European paintings were also gorgeous. I can’t paint for shit, btw. I wish I could, but I never really had the patience. And whenever I would paint something that looked good, I didn’t really want to keep going because I thought I would mess it up.
Central Park: gorgeous. I was really looking forward to this and I planned for us to go in the late afternoon/evening so that our walk would be cooler. I always love the lighting this time of day, everything looks so much prettier. I wanted to spend more time wandering around but my mom was getting really tired from walking pretty much all day.
My mom and I also saw Mamma Mia on Broadway (in Broadway?). It was fantastic. I’d never seen a musical before and I was really impressed by it all. I really want to see Wicked now.
I just…loved everything. The architecture, the shopping, the subway system, the way places stay open late into the night, and the busy-ness..
