4TH OF JULY WITH DUBLIN!!

My BEST friend came ALL THE WAY to Connecticut to VISIT ME!!!

She came 4th of July weekend :)  we had probably the most fun to gallientes could have. Just hangin with girl Number 1 the most fun in the WORLD!  haha soo.... I pick her up and take her to probably my favorite place to eat in the small town of New Canaan, called Vicolo's pizzeria.

We chilled as gals do on the East coast..... then we partied it up IN NEW YORK CITY for the weekend!! WaHOOOOOO!  Actually NYC is cool for 1 MAYBE 2 days.  Word to the future NYC beginning traveller: wear as little clothing (while still be modest ;)  as possible because its BLOODY hot and always have a bottle of water cause the prices will rape you and wear the comfiest shoes you have, cute or not cute haha.  But other than that if you've got those you will LOVE it haha!!!

Poor Dublin.... I was the tour guide.  I am usually very good at directions and i got us around the city and subway sytem VERY well... until Sunday :( i appologize my blonde friend.  Yes, i must say I made the timeless mistake of holding the map UPSIDE DOWN!!! hahaha we ended up a little offcourse... not too far.. only 6 blocks :0 haha  in like 90 degree humid heat haha wearing sunday dress.... not COOL! my bad... but now we have the memories.. which is all we could ask for isn't it?!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah well... you live and you learn?! Sorry Kylee....

NYC we learned is the place for many different races, styles, and beliefes.  TO SAY THE LEAST it is definitely the MELTING POT of the world!... haha oh yeah and we also learned that New York is apparently called the capitol of the world... news to me! i thought America would be the capitol... if there was to be a capitol haha.

Who told us this???  ooh just Kobe Bryant and his friend at some little burger shop!  Story #1: Yes that's right Kobe Bryant. :) well... his twin brother at least cause this guy seriously looked JUST LIKE HIM!!! Alright, so story of the 2 tall african american men that play basketball on some international team apparently, whether or not that's true ha.... anywho!! so me and Kylee had been walking all day, we're pooped and just wanna sit down but the girl we were staying with wasn't at the apartment yet... so we waited and waited.. waited so long we were hungry so we decided to head over to the apartment in SOHO, NY just to be near... on the way we see a little burger place on the front window the R in burger fell off so it said BUGERS and FRIES! Charming. haha we stopped in sat in the fron window seat with a chair inbetween us and ate. The food was medeocre aka bad haha. I have red smeared all over the bottom half of my face cause we put red lipstick on and it looked not so good on me haha and wouldnt come off... and we were sweaty so we weren't that good looking..

WELL this Guy comes over and sits between kylee and i and says "you saving this for me?".... i monotonely say "Yep!" When i use the monotone voice you know without even having to know me that i am in my sarcastic mood and might offend you ha.... it's a problem.. so his friend sits down and we are all chit chatting and this friend says "i like the way your face is put together"............ uuuuum... I dont like compliments already and that was just a wierd one so I said "uuuuuuuuuuuuh ha... thanks, I'll let my parents know they did a good job." hahaha poor guy but he laughed and it was all in good fun. then they started telling us about how they wanted to take us to some bar named "The Fat Black Pussycat" WHAT!? hahahahaha naaa... then they insisted they walk us to our apartment and kept wondering what we were doing... WOULDNT LEAVE!! so they did end up following us to our friends apartment... aka CREEPY! but I got out of the situation with his number and he not knowing mine. Ahaha VICTORY!

    Alright so one of the COOLEST things i found out about NYC is that some musical program put pianos all over for the public to play!! WOOPIE!! don't mind if DO!  There was one in Central park and another in Times Square... the one in Central park was a lot easier to play and remember the song because the stage fright factor wasn't as high haha all the benches of people were behind me... then at Times Square the freaking people were sat all around the piano aka... I FORGOT MY SONG hahaha... not a huge deal but i was slightly embarassed... had to get up and walk it off ha. That stupid song better not be forgotten i worked so hard on it to play for my final in college, for my beginner piano class haha maybe you've heard of it Bella's Lullaby, haha yep from Twilight..... yep LOSER i played Twilight.  I dont know how dirty those key were but hey, who cares?! NYC is already FREAKING dirty so theres no point in taking any extra precaution... or is there? haha i did not.

 Quick Story #2.  I saved Dublin's life. Yep... she about got smacked and carried away by a MTA-North train.  Her guts would have been scraped all the way from Stamford, Connecticut to Grand Central, New York.  Gross... haha so we are taking pictures because it was her time riding a train and it's a fun experience and thus she was standing fairly close to the edge of the tracks platform.  haha so i am just daydreaming... taking a little mind trip if you will.  I hear the train is coming so i look down on my left where Kylee was and also the direction of the train... She is just lost in her world looking at either her phone or her camera, i cannot recall.... haha so the train is literally like 1 second from us and she is RIGHT on the edge of the platform.  I kind of yell kind of nervously KYLEE! and grab her arm and pull her backwards haha the train literally skimmed an inch from her as I got her... haha HELLO... that'll wake you up for dang sure!!! it was a wierd moment because right after it happened i went straight back to day dreaming haha.... i about lost my BFF on that day. NOT COOL!!! but Luckily she is still here by a narow escape. Glad to have ya Dub.  OKAY!! so now it is finally time for,

STORY #3:  All weekend i had been telling Dublin about Serendipity 3's famous Frozen Hot Chocolate... the one that is in the movie Serendipity.  I kept explaining how delectible this dessert is.  Nobody really understands until they partake. Well...... SHE PARTOOOOOK! and was DELIGHTED.  Seriously everybody. i will FIND this recipe and make it and so people of Utah who don't go to NYC will be able to devour this delicious treat (i dont know if you noticed but everytime i need a work to describe the Frozen Hot Chocolate i use a work that starts with D.)  hahaha that picture reminds of another side story... so we found Urban Outfitters aka my favorite store. ... i love headbands... i found a headband that i absolutely love.. and am wearing it in the picture... it is black with green leaves on it... perfect for me.  i wore it a lot over the weekend... haha while we are sitting at the fireworks we are taking pictures and i realize that the headbands looks IDENTICAL to a marijuana plant.  Not that i know what that looks like but the little picture all the druggies sport on their whatnots like cars ans binders and such haha you know what i'm talking bout? here i will show you with another picture:

HAHAHA does it not look like a marijuana plant?!!! because I think it does. will it stop me from wearing it. Not in the slightest. aaaah well, it happens haha. anywho, the 4th was pretty awesome! they shot fireworks off from 6 piers on the Hudson River by the Statue of Liberty.  The fireworks were HUGE!!!!! nothing really to talk about with fireworks haha basically everyone has seen what they look like... But NYC was a really cool place to experience them in... funny tho... we sat out in the 90+ degree humid heat for 4 hours for seats we could have got had we come an hour early haha... i get a little delirious in the heat (and super sweaty):

The best thing to do is just to NOT ask questions haha... but i also drew some tats for me and DUB her's is the odd design and mine is the owl, PEACE AND LOVE:

Yeah, it was along 4 hours... haha every night from like 12-2a.m. waiting to get into the apartment because we couldnt without the girl who lived there... thus we hung out around the corner at McDonalds where i ended up taking a 45 minute nap haha i had a fun trip...

Well, having Dublin was the GREATEST!!! wish she was still here but it's whatever. I come home in 35 days!!! WHOOP then move back to G in 37 days. Can i get a WHOO WHOO!?  THEN MY BIRTHDAY IS THE 19th OF AUGUST... if you wanna get technical it is in 38 days.... haha i have it all counted up in my planner so when each day passes i know how long til those 3 dates.  don't get me wrong I LOVE it here... but you know it will be great to come back home and be a teenager rather than a 2nd mother haha... i can act irresponsible :) WAHOOO!  I now realize that i say Wahoo, WOOO, and Whoop a lot!  AIGHT here are some random pictures i dont wanna write a whole story about :D

HERSHEY STORE in TIMES SQUARE!!!! YUM!! They had a Reese's corner... THAT's ME!!!

Gotta LOVE the Subway System of NYC.
