Link to original post: [drupal=3161]New York for the First Time? Oh Yes.[/drupal]



I went to New York City for the first time in my life this weekend. Very fun. Went with my mom. On Saturday we took a tour of NBC and saw the SNL stage and everything which looks a lot smaller in person. We also took a tour of the Rockerfeller Tower which was awesome; there are no lines to get in unlike the Empire State Building. After, we went to the Apple store which was amazing. Then, we went back to our hotel and I watched "500 Days of Summer". Loved that movie, and it got me thinking about stuff. I'll explain later.

After sleeping for a few hours, we got up and out again, this time going to dinner at a nice French place with great food. I mean great food, I had Filet Mignon and ate tons of other food. After that, my mom and I went home to change out of our nice clothes, and went to Times Square. I was blown away. There were so many lights it was like day time, but it was 12:00 in the morning! We went home at 1:30. My mom crashed but I stayed up 'till 4 AM, watching TV of course. I also was texting friends. I woke up at 12, and we went to Times Square, The Modern Museum of Art and saw Starry Nights by Van Gogh which was cool. We went to Apple to get the Beats headphones by Dr. Dre for my birthday. They are amazing, and definitely worth the $300. We then spent the rest of the day getting to JFK Airport, and getting home. And here I am, at 1:11 AM, home in California.

Now, lets go back to "500 Days of Summer". I liked it, it shows that love isn't a picnic. But I could relate to it.

Well lets go back a few years. Since 6th grade, I saw this girl and I thought she was cute, but I only had one class with her in 6th grade, and none in 7th. We have one class together this year. I actually really met her this year, technically. And we were friends for a while (well I guess we always were). My friend who also knows her said that she used to like me, which I didn't believe at the time. We hung out with other friends throughout the year. I didn't really talk to her that much when one of my friends started going out with her, though. He's not a really good friend, but he's cool. Anyways, I hadn't really talked to her in a month or so. And something in my brain decided that I liked her. I'm not exactly sure how much I like her, though. Well I don't know what happened but they aren't going out anymore. And while they were going out I thought about how my friend (his name is Will) said that she used to like me. As I said, at first, I didn't believe him. But as I thought about it, it made sense. Before I really knew her at all, I heard her talking about me with a friend of hers, and after I got to know her, she held on to my arm while walking down to the Village, (a place near our school where a lot of people go every Wednesday), leaned on me a couple of times, and hugged me a lot. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I'm not sure now, It's certainly plausible. Also, I've had suspicions when, while playing truth or dare, my friend (who is her friend too) asked me if I like her or have liked her in the past. Now, I lied for some reason. At that time, I was sort of getting over another girl, so I wasn't sure if I still liked the other girl or the original girl. I mean when you think about it, it would make a lot of sense if she did used to like me. I don't know why she would like me, I mean I'm not the best looking guy at our school. I have a nice sense of humor though, and I guess I have a nice personality. She's really cool though, she's pretty without make-up, really nice, has a nice smile, nice eyes, laughs at my jokes, and laughs a lot (which I love) Well anyways, let me continue.

I've actually never gone out with a girl. I've never kissed a girl either. And she's single now, and I really don't have any competition. There's an 8th grade only dance at the end of the year, and I'm not sure if I'll ask her out. I don't think that I'll ask her out this year. Maybe in 9th grade. I mean I wouldn't ask her out because my friend (probably) still likes her even though they aren't going out anymore. Chances are she still likes him too. So I suppose I'll just go to the dance and have fun.

Oh, and nobody knows that I like her, except one friend. I'm not sure why I told him, it's not like he's one of my best friends. But I actually just said that I thought that she was kind of cute. Either way, he probably can tell that I like her. And my friend Will insists that I like her, which I think I do. Anyways, it's complicated.

Summary: Puberty is a pain in the butt-hole.

And I guess I'll talk about music. Eminem, Kanye West, Ludacris, Dr. Dre, Rakim, 2Pac, Run-DMC, Talib Kweli, Lil Wayne, Drake, etc. Especially Eminem. They are all amazing. You guys can hate Kanye but you have to admit, he is a great artist. Eminem is my favorite rapper. Some of his earlier music is really creepy though. Rakim i just learned about recently and he is awesome. I still need to buy a lot of music.

New York is great. I was actually most impressed with the U.N. and the lower East-side when I went. Spent a little time in Brooklyn, but not much, though there's a lot worth seeing. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I can't wait to go back. As for the girl stuff...


...I can't help you >_<

Bah I got mad when I read 8th grade and the summary. I guess they ARE all the same.
I guess that's your music style though :/
I just don't get what kind of a god**** summary that is. I read your whole story and you sum it up with "music gets me trough puberty". You never mentioned music once in your story, which wasn't bad or anything, but it was kind of ruined when I read the summary.

Relationships in 8th grade are kind of lollish, you have no idea what to do and as I read it, it even looked like you could ask that one friend to ask her out for you. Oooh, 8th grade.. :urg:

Summary; Drugs and music get me where I wanna go now... But I gotta make the money for it.
And that's not so easy... Nowadays.
+10 rep for reference.

Ask her to go out and such, as simple as that.
I used to think that we either had to rush or wait super long. Now, just be comfortable.
Go out a little, have fun. And if it seems to click, you should already start getting stuck to each other.

Don't wait a year to 'ask' for anything. Get to know her, socialize and you'll see what happens.
Don't be too reserved, it displays a lack of confidence.

I didn't mention music. I thought that I mentioned the Beats Headphones by Dr. Dre that I got on Sunday. And yeah, relationships in 8th grade are really stupid. No, if I were to ask her out, I'd do it myself.

I should have gone into more depth about the music.

Rap ew.

10rockandpunksarebetter
Whatever floats your boat. I like rap because not only are a lot of the songs catchy but the better ones have meaning, like Mockingbird by Eminem. You've probably only heard the bad rappers who get their songs on the radio all the time. I.E. Soulja Boy, New Boyz, etc.

I don't like punk. Just not my taste.
