Friday — woot, woot!

I found five bucks! Twice! I’m not even joking. The first time was on Canal where all the bootleg and souvenir shops are. I told some people at WSN later that night when we were there for our meeting, and I mentioned that I hoped I didn’t get herpes from it. So later I went with Ashley and a couple other people to a dance party [where I did not dance] and it was hard to hear over the music. So we’re all talking and I thought a guy we went with asked me if I had herpes, because apparently I was that worried about it. Hahaha, he actually asked me if I had roommates. Good story.

Oh and then on the way to the WSN meeting, a guy in front of me in the crosswalk dropped five bucks, so I gave it back to him. I think he was surprised.

But now I can legitimately add “And then I found five bucks” to any boring story. My life is complete.

So yes, Friday night someone had a dance party. It was fun; she had a really nice tri-level apartment in a really nice building on Second Avenue, below 17th Street. We walked from Ashley and her roommate’s apartment, and one of the crosswalk signs put both signs up at once, more than once. In case I’m not being clear: the hand and the little guy were both lit up at the same time, and it was like that both times we passed that particular crosswalk, so it was not a one-time fluke. Maybe it’s a one-time defect crosswalk sign. Unless both means something that none of the four of us knew. If it does, please tell me.

So then I just took the subway back to campus, instead of Canal, so I didn’t have to deal with certain undesirable places located near my building. And I took the embarrassing trolley back. [On a side note, I heard some girl the other day call them “the ones from San Francisco.” I thought, does everyone not know what a trolley is? Even if they don’t, she’s still retarded, because it says trolley on the side! No joke.]

So anyway, I was the only one on the trolley at like 2 a.m. and you have to cut across Spring Street to start going south on Lafayette. There’s a bar/restaurant on Spring and some guys smoking outside [blech! But they were foreign! :)] could apparently see inside the trolley. One of them was waving at me to come out and have a drink with them, and I was just shaking my head and laughing, feeling really lame for sitting on a bright purple trolley with New York University scrawled across the side. But I got home safely — bonus! :)

And I think that’s all my adventures for Friday.

Steven likes to tell people I have herpes, I don't know why. If I really did, I think I would be even more angry at him for telling people then I already am. So even if you don't have herpes, you and I can be pretend herpes buddies now.

1. You're paranoid. You can't get herpes from money, but you have fun being herpes buddies with Kristi. Haha.

2. I can't believe you actually found five bucks. I am going to have to hear for the rest of our lives.

3. Does the trolley look like a trolley or is it the bus we took that one time I was in NYC?

4. That crosswalk signal sounds like a New Yorker's idea of a practical joke. Haha.
