Out of Place?

I am absolutely in love with this photo! Yes, it is creepy that I took a picture of this random woman. But, she was just so fascinating. She looks like she's in a different era. Like the 1950's or something! I almost felt like this woman was posing for me, the way she was gazing up at the buildings and her perfect placement on the cross-walk. I took advantage of this perfect picture opportunity!
Took this photo in NYC, edited it afterwards

Gotye

Gotye is my new obsession! The song "Somebody I used to Know" is currently super popular. What I absolutely love about this song is how different it is then any other type of music. I love how people are accepting it too! Well, some radios stations put some cheesy bass beat in the background which totally ruins it! I cannot get enough of this song! It is always in my head!! I must admit I also have a slight crush on him! The fact that he is Australian helps. Something about boys with accents really gets me!
When does being friendly become too friendly? 

I consider myself a very friendly person. I feel that I am approchable, and maybe sometimes that is a bad thing! It's one thing to be friendly to complete strangers but, sometimes perhaps I cross the line. I work in a deli so I deal with the public. I think it is always important to have a smile on because it creates an inviting atmosphere for costumers. Nothing wrong with that. But, I must admit sometimes I get a little too friendly with the "regulars". I don't find this to be a problem though. So the old men can get a little perverted? They're old, i'm going to let it slide. It's actually interesting how once a person reaches a certain age it becomes more acceptable for them to be innapropriate. Not in a super creepy way but, think of it this way: If an 80 year old man told you that if he was younger he would ask you out then that's kind if sweet. However, if a 40 year old man tells you the same thing then you think "Ew, that's weird". But anyways back to the point I think that it is really important for young girls to be careful. Sometimes being too friendly can be taken for granted and you can attract some weird people!
The reason I feel the need to bring this up is because of an experience I had today. There is a certain delivery man who comes in and delivers soda. Now, I got to know him from seeing him every week so when he would come in I would joke with him. I would sometimes yell out "Hey best friend!" or silly little things like that. The weird part is though that he started getting too friendly with it. Like he would make comments like "i'm going to come in on saturday just to see you". How does one even respond to that? "Oh, um...flattered?" Not really! More like "creepy, im gonna walk away now!" So one day I suppose we got into talking about birthdays and I mentioned mine was April 13th. Not kidding this had to be at least a couple of months ago. So today as i'm leaving he is pulling in. Somehow he sees me and honks and waves and tells me to wait for him. Now that's already pretty freaky. But, whatever I'll go with it. Then he comes up to me and says happy belated birthday! He remembered that it was last friday and he said he was thinking about me.  He also said that he came in and told somebody to make sure they told me that he said happy birthday. Then he asks what I did and how old I turned. I told him 19 and he kind of touched my chin to insinuate how young I was I guess? In my opinion this is really crossing the line. Am I right? I mean it made me feel quite uncomfortable. Then to make matters even worse I see him in the parking lot and he says to me "Oh, now I know what car you drive!" I'm sorry...WHAT. Dude, you just pretty much just announced that you're going to stalk me! Now I might be just a little paranoid about this but, I found the whole thing to be incredibley creepy. I can only blame myself for this though. I have to learn when it's appropriate to be overly friendly! Life lessons. But hopefully I can get this guy off my back!!

What I Love About the City

(Photo taken by me)

You know what I absolutley love about NYC? Well first off that it's only an hour or so away from where I live. And second, that everyone and everything about it is just so unique. A cross-dresser could walk right past you and you wouldn't even do a double-take because it is just so common. I went to Washington Square Park with my friends. As we were sitting there enjoying the sun these random people broke out in some form of robotic dancing. It was totally awsome! Now me, not being from the city, found this totally awsome! However, the city locals around me barley looked! It's just so normal! If that happened where I live then it would cause a huge spectacal, and perhaps not in a good way. Some people arn't the most friendly. I know I would never have the confidence to just start dancing in the middle of the park. I would be terrified somebody would "boo" me or throw a shoe at me or something like that. Everything about the New York City atmosphere just intrigues me!

Random Rants About My Day

I know education is important and all but, I just cannot stand going class. I mean first off I need to take a gym class? You for reals? Well fitness walking doesn't seem to bad. Good thing i've got my vast high school track experience so that I can be a try hard in that class and make all of the lazy kids look even worse then they already do. Today he had as running across the football field doing "quick feet". As I looked down the line I realized that I was the only one trying. Awkward much! The other kids must look at me and think "this bitch". The best is actually the fact that they few guys who are actually in the class suck! I kid you not they can't even jog? Hey, I don't want to judge but shouldn't you be a little more physically fit than that? This one kid legit looks like he shit his pants when he runs. Can't even handle it! Alright, now lets skip foward to english class. I'm a fan of literature, I really am. However, when you drag it out and try to disect every little detail it makes me want to disect the hairs out of my head! Especially since nobody in the class actually shows that they have a pulse, well with the exception of me and the wise guy next to me. Although, the wise guy is very refreshing with his comments. So today professor decides to show us pictures she took from some Titanic exibit. Okay fair enough. Let me try not to laugh out loud when I see a picture of you smiling with a steering wheel! Total tourist pose! I love it though. Now i'll just sit hear and bang my head against the desk while you complain about how slow the internet is going. Give it a second dude. There must be about a hundred other computers in the same bulding trying to log on to things as well. I hate it when people yell at technology. Seriously, like do you realize how amazing everyting around us even is! People complain way too much about technology going slow. "Damn, my smartphone took 5 seconds to download this link rather than.256 seconds like I would expect!" Take a chill pill people. Isn't it going to like a satallite in space or something like that? Technology is going to take over the world one day! Beware of robots! Let's now go to a conversation I had with a nice girl today. She was talking about how she wants to be a nurse for children. When asked why she replied "because I just love kids!" Then later on after I mentioned wanting 6 kids she said she didn't want any! "But I thought you loved kids?" "Yeah, not my own!" Alrighty then, no further questions for you! Then at work today this cute kid walks in who always comes in. I wisper to my co-worker that I would so totally do him. When the kids approches the counter my co-worker tells him that I want to do him! Well, the kid completley ignores the statement and talks about something completley irrelevant to my life! Wow! Not that I was actually interested but, am I that unnatractive that you didn't have any comment to make? Self-esteem dropped a level! That is truely an awkward moment. It's also awkward when trying to vent to a co-worker and he says "I really don't care enough to know the story." Oh. Uhm, alrighty then...i'll just shut my mouth and go sit in a corner! Seriously dude! Welp, today sucked. I wonder what adventures are in store for me tomorrow!
