well, it cooled down a few days here in NYC which was a nice gift. it was getting really unbearably hot. this past week was very productive. i got myself an internship (yaaay) with a clothing manufacturing company. it feels good to have a purpose, and to get an experience in a field. i hope it will help me in the future when i'm applying for things.
mary and i went to a show called "sleep no more." it was a very interesting take on one of shakespeare's plays, macbeth. all the non-actors had to wear masks and it took place in an abandoned hotel. you were sort of left to roam the 1st through 5th floors, running into actors and different scenes from the play. some touched you, some stared at you. they fought, knocked things over. they had candy shops and mini streets, a creepy wood, a cemetery.... it was so cool. all the actors were awesome dancers as well and they did some really interesting fight scenes and interpretive dancing. at the end everyone was kind of herded to the first floor where macbeth was hung. no one was allowed to talk and you never knew where you would stumble. it was TOO COOL. you got to search through all the drawers, look through whatever you liked. it was awesome. very mystical. totally up my ally. mary and i met up with some of her friends at the bar there where there was a live big band playing. too awesome! we hung out for a while and then mary and i and mary south split cab fare to brooklyn. such a cool night! i got home covered in fake blood.
oh that day was also busy because i hung out with my friend nick whom i've known since like... 8th grade. he and i went back to brooklyn and hung out. we watched videos and talked about 80's bands, big hats, and how people just aren't nice anymore.
other than that, i've been walking a bunch, reading, roaming, exploring, dieting, the whole shebang. i've been watching/ reading a lot of stuff where there are these amazing friendships. it's a topic i've been thinking about and talking about a lot. because as a kid, and even now, i daydream about the perfect friend. the one who is completely loyal, who puts aside homework and comes over to you when you're having a bad night, who knows all your favorite things, who goes on vacations with you and is with you through all the hard parts of life. mary says thats what a husband is. but so often people are portrayed as having these kinds of friendships. do these actually exist? i'd like to find one. and i really think i used to be that friend, but i've gotten kind of selfish in the last few years. or maybe i've given up. but i'm on a renewed mission to find and make that friendship, because friends are so much more important than people realize. i'd definitely thank friends for getting me out of a lot of rough patches in my life.
and this isn't to say i don't have good friends now. i do. but we're just not at that level yet. you know? and i want to have a friendship at that level.
let me think what else. tonight mary and i watched "forgetting sarah marshall," and i laughed so hard because i related to it so much. saturday is coming which means eat-whatever-you-want-dayyyyy!!! yes.
that's all i got. i'll take more pictures and do more cool things i swear.
