So we ran around the city, were completely free and just lived life.  I can't explain how freeing it was to just go around and explore.  Friday night we fell asleep, like mid-sentence I clonked out in her big comfy chair.   Saturday we went to the mall and shopped around, a girl asked me where I got my combat cherry red boots and I said "Target" she asked where that was and I said "oh um where I live in Michigan" she said is that around here? LOL.  I found that whole thing amusing.  So then this random guy was passing out roses in the times square part and I was trying to figure out why a million people had them so I asked and this guy like threw one at me.  They had passages from the quaran on them buuuut the guy preaching was christian.  It was just bizarre.  Lol, it was like the times square part.  So anywho, cath and I took a taxi back to her room (it was raining really hard which I LOVE) and listened to avril levigne, lit delicious smelling candles, and tumbled/napped for like an hour...IT WAS MAGICAL lol.  Then off to Rookie Mag party we went!  We were going to take a taxi cause it was a 45 min walk but then we started to walk the weather was nice and not too damp so we I made the whole journey and felt great!  And I really got to see the city.  I'm just gonna say the party was amazing....the art gallery was beautiful and Tavi was signing stuff so I did not want to awkwardly go up to her but then I was dancing with Cath and 22 by Tswift came on and Tavi ran up and hugged me!  And we danced and talked (:  It was magical.  Later, I went to Cath's friends apartment which was beautiful and they did some drinking and other stuff and I literally just sat there smiling because I felt like I was in a movie, I had never been to a party before.  I literally just sat there...but that was enough for me because I felt like I was witnessing how people my age act with their peers. Sometimes I feel so isolated or I hang with friends one on one, it was cool to see how people act with one another.  It was just the perfect trip and I can't wait to go back!
