everything happens for a reason, blah blah blah

actually, today I woke up feeling like a brand-new person.  the sky was blue, the breeze was nice. i didn’t sleep at all but i put on some red lipstick when i went out (because i felt like it, lipstick!) and people looked at me like a freaking movie star. i studied, and i finally went to the financial aid office. tomorrow i can finally sign up for the loan i’ve been meaning to get for four months. i went to the church on lexington (they like me there because i’m jewish, and that obviously makes me interesting) and breathed in the woody, stony church smell. then i walked out and was immediately accosted by two hippies who asked me to join greenpeace. which i did, bitches. then, just for good measure, i dropped my cell phone into a sewer grate. the corner hot dog men and construction workers immediately swarmed the vicinity to try prying it out with a big metal stick. i didn’t even ask them for help, and they literally rallied to the rescue! i ran to the bank to get some cash to buy fly paper to stick onto the metal thing, and when i came back there were, i shit you not, no less than twelve guys crowding the grate and prying it open with a crowbar. i don’t even know how they got a crowbar. i tried buying them all hot dogs and they wouldn’t have it. one opportunist said he wouldn’t mind a hot dog and the crew almost beat him up. just to desintegrate all the hatred i’ve been harboring for this city. i love new york.

i’m going to move to india to massage the lepers. i’ve already decided.

    i wish i still wanted to move to india to massage the lepers! i don’t even feel the urge anymore… am i jaded? old? just selfish? i actually don’t even care and that is sadder.

    i LOVE that everyone rallied to get your cell phone,but then my head is like, yeah whatever, that’s cause she is pretty and young, no one would want to help ME get MY cell phone. and i think these things because i am so fucking self absorbed and stupid.

    I’m glad they helped you :)
    and i’m glad you tried to buy them hot dogs. funny. :)
