Hakuna Matata.

Once again I've been kinda lazy about blogging...

But the coolest thing is people have been messaging me on facebook reminding me to blog! 

Not even just my mom! 

So sit back, grab a drink (preferable moscato), and allow me to catch you up! 

Sunday I worked an early morning shift at my spa job... after of course working until 4am in the night before. I had to be back at 11am Sunday... so I got around four hours of sleep. 

I decided I like the morning shift a little better... plus Yumi one of the women who works at the spa made food... so of course I had to try. 

Okay it was like a pancake gum. It was really chewy and fried. I couldn't tell you what it was and no one could explain it to me in english. I had one bite...okay two bites but It wasn't really my kind of thing.

But it was my first stab at Korean food! 

Monday I went to my internship at InTouch. 

I was late... again. 

I can't figure out how to make it there on time. 

I'm either an hour early... before the office is even open... or 20 mins late. 

The NY transit struggle. 

It was kind of a slow day. 

I ended up spending most of the day researching information on the Kardashian sister's relationship... 

and sending snap chats to my friends....not to bad of a job. 

The day ended and I took the long 2 hour ride back to Brooklyn. 

When I got home I was starving... I grabbed two go-gurts in the morning on the way to my internship... and ate them both on the train ride there. 

So when Danny said he was also hungry we decided to go get some mexican food a few blocks away...

YUM! 

The rest of my night was spent relaxing and hanging out. 

I woke up Tuesday and decided I was going to go the beach. 

I knew I lived near the beach but I wasn't sure how close. 

I'm like five subway stops from Coney Island. 

I think Coney Island has a bad reputation... It's different and kind of cheesy.. But I personally think it is charming and nice. 

You haters of the Coney Island also need to remember that it was washed away during Hurricane Sandy and has been rebuilt! 

I loved it and I plan to spend more days that I'm not at work there... less because of how cool it is and more because i'm translucent pale. 

The beach was packed with so many people!

The sand was ridiculously hot... I had to wear shoes to sit down...

Is that sweat on my face?
yes.
Why?
It's hot.

But the water was like ice cubes. I have no idea how these people are all swimming in this water. I put my feet in and tried to get use to it but no matter how long I stood I alway felt that prick of cold when the water went over my feet! 

This is the boardwalk!

And all the old rides! 

This is where the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest is every year on the 4th of July! They had a count down on the building. 

I thought it was pretty. 

Okay, I'll admit it is not a NC beach at all. But I think it has a flare of its own and I like it! I saw some beauty in its history and the ocean of course was gorgeous.

So I spent the day laying on the beach and walking on the boardwalk.
It was packed especially considering it was a Tuesday.
I can't wait to go back!

On the way back to my apartment I was riding the subway and sitting across from a couple.
They were both gorgeous people were holding hands and laying in each others arms.
I sat and watched them and thought about how I kind of missed being in a relationship like that.
Like being so comfortable with your partner and just enjoying each others company.
It made me begin thinking about how bad I wanted a boyfriend.
They were so sweet... they were smiling and whispering sweet things into each others ears and giggling.
The guy whispered something into the girls ear and started laughing but she just turned red.
All of a sudden she begins to talk to him... no longer whispering.
His face gets serious.
She screams at him... on the subway... in front of everyone.
He yells "why do you always do this"
She screams "why do you always bring her up"
She begins to cry hysterically.
He gets up and hits the wall of the subway.
The subway door opens and he storms out... she is in a crying panic and begins chasing after him.
What a kind little reminder of the grass always seems greener.
Maybe I like being single right now.

You know when you have been in the sun all day and it takes all your energy out of you?
That's where I was.
I was exhausted from my day in the sun and after ordering in some food I passed out.
Another thing I love about NY is how easy it is to order food.
I just type what I want in on my phone and it comes to me.
I ordered from some place called "Chicken Delicious"... which to the untrained eye sounds scary... but to me sounds like a culinary adventure... and it was in fact delicious chicken!

Last night my little sister from my sorority came into town!
Brett and her mom are in New York visiting family and close friends currently.
Brett had me meet her and her mom at her Aunt Linda's apartment on 79th street.
First off her Aunt Linda's apartment building was amazing.
It was on the 15th floor... oh and this was the view from her living room... no biggie.

I'm totally jealous... but I know that will be me one day! 

Brett's mom and Aunt Linda took Brett and I out for drinks and appetizers at this little bar across the street. 

I wish I knew the name of the drink we got... It was "Nice (cant remember the word here)". 

It was like a mixture of champaign... mint... maybe some juice? 

Whatever it was it was awesome so we had two! 

We drank and chatted and had some strange appetizers including hummas fries and some fried veggies dipped in a tomato sauce... they were good. Just different. 

I hope all you vegetarians out there are foaming at the mouth! 

We had a really great time but we parted way to get an actual dinner (meat lovers rejoice!) and go out! 

We ate dinner here: 

I of course had a rare filet mignon burger... it was basically still mooing on my plate... it was awesome. 

We then headed back to my apartment to get ready and go out! 

We didn't actually get to Hell's Kitchen until about 1:30am. 

I was getting nervous. 

I had promised Brett a good time but as we were walking up the street I noticed everything was closed. 

We walked up the block and saw two bars opened.. one on our side of the street... and one on the other.

I peaked into the one on our side of the street.

WE HIT THE JACKPOT!

It was full of the most beautiful men I had ever seen all lined up at the bar. 

and the best part! 

NO GIRLS IN SIGHT! 

I look and Bret and say "we are going in here". 

We walk in and find two seats at the bar. 

I begin to look around and think "wow how did we find this little gold mine of men". 

Everyone was just staring at us as we sat at the end of the bar but no one was approaching us. 

I was thinking "common! someone buy us a drink!" 

Then it happened. 

The song "It's raining men" comes on... three men get up from their bar stools and start dancing... 

I then look at the back wall and it reads: 

"2013 Pride night". 

We were in a gay bar. 

I look at the guys beside us with their perfectly shaped eye brows and manicured man hands. 

I look at the ceiling and there are rainbow decorations hung above us! 

How did we miss this! 

As I always say "when in rome!" 

I had a conversation with a man beside me about how guys  become more interested in people when they find out they are dating someone and how frustrating that is. 

Guys suck.. and even guys agree! 

We had a drink... several fabulous conversations with several great men... shared a couple of dances... sang "call me maybe" and decided we would try the bar across the street! 

We headed over to the next bar where we met our newest coolest socialite friend... Jose... Jose knows everyone... and I mean everyone. 

He introduced us to: a professional baseball player, manager of some big hotel, a porn star, lead on broadway.... and maybe more people but I was a couple of drinks in at this point! 

Bret and I took turns buying rounds of lemon drop shots and eventually began slowing down to sex on the beaches! 

Then the dancing began. 

The guy who plays Simba from the lion king (on broadway right now) was such and amazing dancer... of course I thought I should try and dance with him... which helped fight my urge to rub my thumb across his forehead and say "simmmbbaaa".

This is me laughing during our dance battle! 

Hakuna Matata! 

And here is Bret trying to dancing around with another guy... the picture is blurry... kinda like our night became! 

Simba's friend was visiting from LA.. so we will call him LA. He asked me where I was from and I told him...

He proceeds to say "southern girls are the worst". 

This is not the typical reaction I get when I tell someone I'm from NC. 

So far those two little letters have been my ticket to drinks all night and boys smitten over the way I talk. 

I asked him why. 

He said "Because southern girls always expect something more... other girls you can call them and hang out with them and it doesn't have to mean anything... you can leave and that is that".

I replied "So you don't like southern girls because they have standards and morals?".

He didn't respond... I walked away....

Southern Girls: 1 Douche Bag: 0 

LA later approached me and told me I'm the best girl from the south he has ever met... he and Simba  asked me and Brett to come over. 

He told me we would watch movies and snuggle and he would keep his hands to himself. 

Although his eyes were a beautiful blue, his blonde hair was totally perfect, and his body was amazing... I would rather eat raw dirt than spend time with someone like him. 

I smiled and politely said "no thank you". 

Our new friend Jose walked us back to our subway and we hopped on. 

I'm pretty sure I feel asleep and proceeded to talk in my sleep on the subway... mostly because when I was awoken everyone on the subway was starring at me... 

whoops! 

Bret and I walked into the door around 6am... so typical. 

People were walking to work when we were walking home! 

Such a great night and I was sad to send Brett off on the train today! 

Hopefully I'll get to see her a little more before she leaves to head back to Atlanta! 

So I've been getting a lot of messages lately about my blog! Everyone has been super nice and excited about it! But one question keeps popping up...

How do I find myself in these situations? 

How did I get into this club? 

How am I finding these jobs? 

How do I meet these people? 

Honestly, I have no idea. 

I talk to everyone... I never act like i'm to good to talk to anyone ever. Even the homeless man on the train... if he wants to chat about something I will talk to him. 

Maybe it's the sorority girl in me... the recruitment chair pro. 

I have so far literally talked my way into every fun thing I've done and also had luck meeting cool people. 

Keep the messages coming to me! 

I love reading what you like and what you want to see more of (I know... I need to write more often!)...  but every time I get a message with someone telling me they love my blog or they love this post or that post it really makes me feel so good! 

Also if you like my blog please share it on you Facebook in a status or anything! 

Thank you so much for coming on my adventures with me! 

oh and if you are ever in NYC... hit me up... and we can go on an adventure together!
