My lovely friend from John Marshall High came to visit me. Tamara stayed with me for the week and it was super fun! She came with me to work, she came with me to UofDreams weekly seminar, and pretty much everywhere I went except the gym(lol). It was great to catch up with her since I haven't seen her in like 2 years. We visited Time Square and it was almost interesting. We were stopped by weird guys and had a great time being silly in the city. We took a picture with Sponge Bob Squarepants while he sung to us "My Cheri amour" it was very cute. Wednesday we went to the seminar series to hear Deanna Latson speak. Deanna Latson is a widely known health speaker. She promotes healthy eating habits and taking care of your body to prevent unnecessary illness. Her presentation was extremely informative and really persuasive...I mean she almost had me thinking of becoming a vegetarian. After her video that showed a doctor pulling strings of collected fat from a mans arteries (ewwww nasty, I know) I was like THAT'S IT, IM CHANGING MY EATING HABITS. The real deal part of it was how she had devoted her education to nutrition to try and help save her father. Her father was suffering from multiple illnesses. When he adopted her suggested diet he lost 50 pounds and was able to stop taking all the meds his doctors said he couldn't live without. Serious shit ! Tamara and I really tried to consider a vegetarian life, but had cookies later that night....
Thursday was my suitemaites birthday. After a long day of errands for Johnny, Tamara and I decided we would join them for drinks. When we arrived at the Blue Fin we perched ourselves at the bar. We had the cutest little drink, the Blue Fin, Alize with a cute little Swedish fish in it. As we chatted and relaxed an older gentleman approached and began to chat us up. He explained that he had been at an award ceremony that was dull and was glad that he had met some interesting people like us to talk to. This older white man told us how pretty we were and how nice we were to talk to and after ordering us drinks proceeded to invite us to his hotel room at The W to "watch tv". We agreed and ended the night spooning with our new friend Gary.....Not the fuck even, we refused and decided that it was high time we headed home. After our 4 drinks (really two depending on the glass) I of course had a buzz(me being a light weight and all)and thought EVERYTHING was SUPER amusing. We headed to McDonald's and had burgers and apple pies before we retired to the Palladium.
Friday was on some otherness considering I had Tamara in town, had to pick up Erica at 1:40 that afternoon and still had errands to run for Johnny while making every attempt to make it to the boutique by 3:30. Tamara and I went on a journey in Chinatown to find knockoff bags. I still have the same mentality that the knockoffs are impositions on the art form called fashion design and feel increasingly sickened to spot Fendi bags on girls who wear Old Navy flip flops. We picked up Erica and tried to salvage the day be running the errands and ended up making it to Johnny's by 5.
My going away dinner with Johnny and Patrick was Friday night and I decided that it would be better to have Erica and Tamara come with rather than return to NYU. We had fabulous Thai food which is my all time favorite. I think I had a food orgasm b/c everything was sooooooo goood. Johnny and Pactrick were ANGELS to me and my friends and treated us like Princesses. They ordered appetizer and drinks for us and just made my friends feel comfortable and happy. To top it off they paid the whole bill for me plus two broads they had only know for a hot second. I had a Vodka and Cranberry(what has come to be my favorite drink) and was of course SMACKED. Everything was extra extra funny and I could not contain myself. I didn't want to drink, considering I was with my boss and have hopes to work with him later but he encouraged and insisted and it did help me to have a good time. I was really a site, at half a drink consumed I was giggling like I was 2 years old. I had such a great time with them, and even started to tear up thinking about not being with them everyday.
Saturday we slept in and met the lovely Julee , Jenn and Erin for lunch. The luch was fun and it was great to catch up. That night we planned on going out but ended up pretty pissed off with NY for its bad night clubs. 40/40 was wack and on some complete otherness as to who they were letting in the club. As Erica and I stood in line we wondered if we were overdressed or if the club wasn't all that we thought it was. We ended up leaving there before we got in and headed to a rooftop bar to chill. Previously we attempted to go out but ended up at a gay nightclub. When a women invited us to her all girl club that she was starting, we kindly told her that it wouldn't be a fun party without men. She took her cards back and suggested to us some places more suitable.
Otherwise I did a bit of shopping and had a great time experiencing the city with my friends. Im so glad that they came, I felt like I was in a different New York b/c of it. A better one that offered much more.
On Tuesday I walked by the Virgin Mega Store and saw a real live sypher! I was amazed and wanted to stay but was afraid they would not appreciate the groupie-esq attention of two girls who don't rap standing around them watching. I saw the cute NYU boy again standing beside the sypher(which made him cool by proximity ). I told Johnny about him and he laughed at me for not speaking to him or trying to find out his name. Johnny suggested that I wear lip gloss to the gym since I see him at there sometime. His other suggestion was that I walk up to him and grab him by the balls and say "IM CASSANDRA BROWN" I nearly died when he suggested that but considered it briefly, I must admit. I felt a little bad because I wasn't able to dedicate my full attention to Johnny that week but I hope I will make up for it this week. Johnny and Patrick have been insanely nice to me giving me opportunities and being really kind and genuine.
Pactrick got Erica and I tickets to see Blue Man Group which was very kind of him.
We saw the Blue Man Group performance today and were really amazed. I coudnt believe some of the things they did and just how funny and entertaining it was. With paper everywhere and cool light effects I we thought we were at a Rave party. We both agreed that if we were high on XTC or slightly drunk we would have experienced the show on another level.
August 1. What a mess. I feel like summer just started but I will be glad to get back to school. I'll be back to NY the minute I get a break from school and really whenever I just want to be in the city rather than Richmond. Moving day wills soon come and when it does, I wont be looking back to Richmond.
-Peace Yall
