| I feel like a social person again, just because of this weekend.
I feel like I have a social life. Of course, there's hell to pay because I went out this weekend. So tonight, tomorrow, and Monday afternoon will consist of homework. And more homework.
Next year I'm going to try to move into an apartment with Ariel and Melody. Preferably near Gramercy, which is where our school is. Or around that area. The other school buildings are in Chelsea. Which I don't mind, except for the excessive amounts of gay bars. A lot of people choose to move into apartments in Brooklyn and Queens, but I really don't want to go that far because I would hate taking the train back and forth every day.
That is, if we find somewhere cheap. We don't want anything nice, because we're art students, and in between all the drawing and painting homework, we're sure to fuck it up anyway.
I think I said this before, but whoever said art kids took the easy way out of college and have less of a workload, totally lied. We work just as hard, if not more on our work.

| Tonight, I was actually social for once, despite being super tired from my 9am to 6pm schedule.
My friend Chen (who looks like Michael Cera Michael Cera looks like him) had a gig tonight at the Monkey Bar Lounge (aka social lounge for SVA students) and so i went with Melody to go see him. Chen's a pretty popular person, so there were a lot of people in attendance. He lives on my floor, and likes to knock on my door and jump in the elevator after doing so. I met Melody's classmates (again) and we went to the other residence hall and hung out with her classmates. It turns out that her classmates' suitemate is my classmate. Nina. Nina and Wyeth, who is also in my class, were making comics in her suite/dorm.
I hung out there for a little while, and we decided to go take a walk. We (Melody, Nina, Wyeth, Danielle, Byrony) walked to the Empire State Building. Since it was raining and cloudy, we couldn't see the top of it. We also walked to Grand Central Station and Wyeth (who, by the way, is really cute) was like our tour guide because he had been around these places. The Grand Central Station is the coolest thing in New York City, if you ask me.
Anyhow, we walked from 42nd back to 23rd, where our dorm was. Then we split up, and Melody, Wyeth and I headed back to the George Washington (our dorm), and we were going to split up again, but Wyeth said we should watch Cowboy Bebop because it's super awesome (which I totally agree with). We watched two episodes before all three of us started drooping and were like, okay that's a night.
I describe too much and can't really make it straight to the point on what I did, but that's basically it.
I'm going to wake up tomorrow, do laundry, and go to Soho to buy my parents Christmas presents because what I want to get them is on sale. :] Oh, and also I have to get Melody a birthday present.

| The streets of New York, when they don't smell like sewers, are of coffee and smoke swirled together in a most addicting smell. The cold air, and darkness of the streets set ablaze with lights from all around give it an almost magical feeling that I used to feel when I visited during the winters of my childhood.
The meteor shower wasn't visible from the city, but nonetheless we went to the rooftop (totally not allowed) and watched the cloudy sky. It was my first time on top of a building in New York City. It was amazing. Besides it being cold, I saw an expanse of sky like that of home.
Carmen and Olivia came to visit this weekend. It was pretty cool. And fun, since I usually never get out to do stuff in the city. Carmen also said that I've changed. I think it's because I seem just a tad more mature. I do the things I have to do for school, I try not to spend a lot because it's my parents' money, and so on.
It's almost Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to Black Friday shopping, and days off to sleep, even though it's only about four days.

| You know, it's kind of sad when I write about 4 drafts for xanga posts, which is all more than what I write in English and Art History combined. And it's not just because it's "art school." Some kids have to write more than me. WAY more than me.
Today I took a nap in my friend's room while she was taking a shower/doing drawing homework/stretching her canvas. How I slept through all that, I don't know. It was about an hour, but I had a really vivid dream. I dreamed that I woke up from my nap and it was super warm and toasty. Heather was hanging out with my friend Melody. I hadn't done my homework yet, and I was falling asleep again, so I left her room to go do my homework. all with my laptop and Heather's Clemson flip-flops. Going down the hall, I saw John and Josh decorating the front of their door. Except, the door turned into a lounge, where Sam P., Poop, Seth and Tarver were. They all made fun of Heather's Clemson flip-flops, and said USC was better (weird, since Seth and Tarver go to Clemson, right?) Anyhow, Sam P. made me eat some pizza that was free because some kid ordered it to the lounge and when it got delivered, he didn't pick it up. (Besides the part where he'd have to have paid...) I was really full because I had just ate Cosi (which is true, I had that before I went to take my nap). Then Poop started making fun of me, and Tarver and Seth wanted me to play the Xbox with them, and I woke up from my nap.
I think I'm missing my people. :(
John Kelly and Caroline are coming over tonight. :]

| I had a dream about a Hispanic guy named Nate. I remember writing his full name down, but I can't remember what his last name was. And no, I do not know any Hispanic guys named Nate. Or any guys named Nate, for that matter. It was a weird dream, not that I remember it very well. It was when I pulled another all nighter, went to class, and came back. I slept from 12 to 7pm. It was kinda weird.
Halloween was uneventful, to say the least. I went to Chinatown with Melody and these two Korean guys. Then Melody and I were going to go to the Halloween parade but it rained, so we decided not to go. I bought my own Halloween candy and ate it. I took a nap in the lounge instead of actually doing homework.
This whole weekend we stayed up until about 6/7am, and waking up late (except for Thursday night; we went to sleep at 10am).
John Kelly and Caroline are coming to visit.
Melody and I have finally reconciled (sort of) with Ariel, our token princess. We hung out tonight, just being our silly selves and having super Asian dinner together (rice, with seaweed, and dried shredded pork. We're too lazy to actually cook.)
Tomorrow I'm going grocery shopping after class because I really don't have anything to eat.
I suspect I'm kind of actually turning insane, but I'm not quite sure yet at the moment. Let you know about that later. :]
Hope you guys had an eventful Halloween. :]
