new york state of mind
Oh. my. God. Yesterday was serious epictimes.
I made three mix cds. One more mellow (which I discovered during the trip has really great flow to it), one more upbeat with all the random shit my cousin and sister wanted on it, and one that is everything that didn't fit on the other 2. Awesomesauce.
We woke up bright and early (read: 8am) and got ready to head out. First we had to go to the consulate where my mom picked up our Chilean passports. *grin* I had a fun 20 minutes sitting alone in the car in front of the building, right under a "No Standing" sign. We left the blinkers on and the car on.. and I got a lot of weird looks from all the guys in suits in their diplomatic cars. Luckily the checkpoint guy was distracted by a lot of electrical company trucks so I didn't have to move at all.
Then we headed back to the Times Square area to wander. We walked to the wax museum and took a zillion pictures. It was SO FREAKING AWESOME. None of us had ever been so we all ran around being idiots for like 3 hours. I'm working on uploading my hundreds of pictures to facebook, but for now I am going to show you my FAVORITE picture of the day.
Clearly my Vulcan calm is failing in this image. But it made me giggle.
After that, we got some lunch and then it was off to walking around!! First I made everyone go with me to the American Apparel store (I made sure to have the address for the nearest one). Mission: BUY THAT HOODIE IN PURPLE OR BLACK. I was sooo unsure which I wanted. And then the world decided for me cuz they only had the purple in my size. *pets lovingly* it is... crazy comfy too. They had the soft blue one there too... and it was very tempting. BUT YAY I HAS A HOODIE!!!!
Then we walked through Times Square (where we saw a guy selling Obama condoms) and around by Rockefeller Center. Lots of pictures were taken, lots of flailing and being stupid.
After all that, it was like 8pm so we went to meet my cousin and her husband at their new apartment. It's like.. half the size of their old one. o_o;; That's New York for you. I don't think I could do it. We went to dinner to this Mediterranean place and stuffed ourselves. We ended up leaving soooo late. xD Got home at 1am.
I then crashed until nearly 2pm! In my own bed! And then had an awesome lazy day today. :)

Firstly: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
Secondly: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
Lots of pillows or just one?
Just the one. It's kinda flattened at this point, but I love it so. I've never been able to sleep all surrounded in pillows.
What kind of books do you read?
I tend to pick up fantasy type books for fun. Or sci-fi. I like being able to lose myself in a book that doesn't take place in what I'm used to I suppose.
What are your most awesome skills?
Does speed-reading count? I'm really good at that. o_o
What's your occupation?
Right now? Cheesecake Factory hostess. But really... a student forever.
What's really creepy?
Dim wide-open areas. Like.. just dark enough that everything becomes a shadow, but light enough that movement just.. dances on the outer pieces of your vision. *shivers*
What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Maybe I should list things that aren't... Um. Well Merlin of course. And Star Trek/ZQ. And lately the American Idol fandom (what is this craziness?!). Still eating up fanfic like I haven't in years. I need to catch up!
If you were a crayon, what color would you be and why?
Probably some shade of purple. Something optimistic looking but also something you don't notice right away.. because I seem to be accidentally good at being invisible.
What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Yahoo!mail, Livejournal (all my comms), Menewsha, Twitter, sometimes youtube/music streaming sites.
What was the last thing you bought?
MY PURPLE STRIPED HOODIE OF AWESOME
Pie, cake or cookies?
I tend to lean towards pie actually. Especially apple pie served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Do you get cravings? If so, what do you crave?
Random stuff. Sometimes I really crave salt. Sometimes ice cream.
What do you do to change your mood?
Listen to music. Some songs will remind me really strongly of things and that will always help me change how I'm feeling.
What is your zodiac sign?
Scorpio
Do you want to learn another language?
Well I already know Spanish and English. I do want to try and pick Japanese back up. for srs.
Five things you can't live without.
Internet/laptop, car, my stuffed animals, zip-up hoodies, my music
What is one song you could listen to repeatedly without ever getting tired of it?
Right now? Mad World - Adam Lambert. But also Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles.
What are you looking forward to?
Sleeping in a bit.
Say something to the person who tagged you:
Martha, I am 100% convinced you are awesome by virtue of your LJ posts and our Gaia interactions. And you need to post more pictures of Dizzy because he is just precious. <3
