Modern Nomad Seeks Friends

I know I haven't posted in a LOOONG time, it's not that I've forgotten about this place, simply that I just haven't had the energy to post.  And I've been slightly obessed with other things (finally got on myspace, and facebook.)

A few quick updates on things, I got to see my niece, Phoenix, born.  Don't really ever want to see my sister like that ever again.  But I was very happy to be able to be right there when my niece was born.  She's 10 months (I believe she is) old now.  She was born in June.  So I guess she's almost 11 months old.  And my sister, the one that was living in Taiwan has moved to England to go to Grad. school, and is expecting another niece of mine in June as well.  Very excited about that.  Simply wish I could be there for her as well.

 I've been looking for a summer job.  Feel like I got fucked, and not in a good way, by Cedar Point.  I'll explain all that in another post, when I have more time.  But if anyone has any decent ideas on where I should find a good summer job, in the states, leave me a note.

Other than that, I had my gall bladder out recently, so I've trying to get over that.

My little brother is officially in the Army, stationed out in Colorado.  But he'll be shipping out to Northern Iraq in later July or August.

I think that's about it for now.  I'll try and make it not so long between posts from now on. 

The first picture is of the legendary Serendipity's, and the last two are of Coney Island. Taken from the boardwalk.

So my new found friend Jana and I went to Filene's Basement today. And of course, in true fashion we pulled a Muriel (in reference to Muriel's Wedding. This amazing Aussie flick. That if you haven't seen you should run out and see it.)
First is me, and the second is Jana.

The first picture is that of a really cool older model jeep that I found while trying to look for this bar. Ended up walking an hour and a half to find that it was only 3 blocks from my hostel. (The girl gave me some really bad directions to the bar).
The second is of Boston night life. And of a guy carrying a man-purse. But it was waaaaay more of a girls purse than a man-purse that he was carrying. It anyone had been with me we would have been laughing our asses off at it.

As you can tell by the time, its a little after 3am. I'm sitting in Penn Station (let me tell you it looks like none of the train stations they show on TV. There aren't any plush seats to wait on. I'm sitting on some hard wanna-be marble? floor.) My train has been delayed. I should be on my train right now, but instead I'm sitting and waiting. Now of course the whole night was not a bust. My faith in people named Nick has been restored (I only despise one person named Nick now, and he will always been an asshole). I meant this guy Nick, he carried my bag around all night, while we walked around. Just wasted time. It was really nice though. One of the better times I've had (especially when it comes to meeting CL's. Some of them are slightly uptight, and just expect that you should know what they want. And if you aren't it, there's no expections. Which isn't a bad thing, but when it comes to people you have to be flexible.) We just walked around, and talked. We were totally able to be ourselves, well I was atleast. It was nice, really relaxing. With my luck though, I had a good time, he didn't or just isn't into me. Whatever the case may be, he won't call, or text, or anything. That'll be the end of it. Which is a same because he had a really cute accent. (So I was totally wrong, because I just got an im from Nick, he wanted to know if I train had gotten in yet, and other stuff. Totally sweet of him. Now, lets see if he talks to me tomorrow. We'll see. He did say have a nice trip, but before we parted ways he wanted to know when I was getting back. Maybe we can/will be friends. I'll keep ya posted on that.)
Well its 4am, and the train is finally leaving the station. Only an hour late. But atleast I'm on my way to Boston. Should be fun, I can't wait.
