One Hundred Sixty-Nine

Here are a couple shots from my weekend (last weekend) with Kylie and Jesse which included admiring a "zombie-unicorn" dress at the Garage mall; people complimenting my turban; trudging through the streets of Cambridge in search of the Garment District (which we eventually found;) a long drive to the Friendly Farm in Dublin; goats trying to eat my Euro bracelets; and a stop at "Double D Dogs'" hot dog stand.

sunday, bloody (awesome) sunday

This weekend was epic in many ways. One of these ways was that I could finally drive around with people in my car. I've had to drive around in my car all by myself for the past 6 months (thanks to Massachusetts state law) and it was fun to hear people in my car who weren't Shakira or Devendra Banhart. I spent the better part of my weekend with Jesse and Kylie, driving up to the park with a box of cold pizza, a tin of banana chips, and some leftover sushi - all-in-all a very good picnic. We also discovered a few new shops at the mall, including an AMAZING Indian clothing store where I (kinda) went crazy buying bangles in every color. I guaranteed the people working there that "I would be back." We also made a stop at Petco because Kylie wanted to look at the animals, which I realized happened to have a missing section in my portfolio. The freedom and cruising around with my buds really was a tease for the freedom to come with the end of the school year and the beginning of my Senior summer!

NTMM (note to my Mother) The last picture was taken while I was stopped in a parking lot NOT while I was driving.

My friend Casey got bored today during Anatomy class and decided to attack my hair with braids. She ended up braiding my entire head and then braiding all the smaller braids together. This was the result. It looked awesome, but it was hell to get out!

new york was great

I was in New York in Tuesday and Wednesday to visit NYU, one of my dream schools for college. The last time I was there, I was seven and deaf and blind to the unusual wonders of New York City. Also, I was with my grandma so... I journeyed to the city with my good friend, Rae, and my Dad and we spent the last two days walking around and sitting under blossoming trees. It was quite an experience; some first-hand encounters with same of NYC's craziest people, amazing street food, and probably the most unusual streetlife I've ever seen in my life; including a random guy walking around with a parrot on his shoulder and a guy with an afro made of tulle.
