Ahhh, I'm getting lazy to update... even though I spend half of my posts whining about things.

Today, I went to Manhattan with my friend. I thought I got flaked at first since we were supposed to meet at 10 and he didn't show an hour later. I was going to send him a text saying that I'll wait 10 or 15 minutes more, and I'll go home after that, but he sent me a text saying that he overslept right before I was going to send mine.

Remeber Angel? He drove by me while I was waiting and he honked at me and I thought that he was someone else who needed directions >_>. And then he says something like "Hey my name is Rick, what's your name?" and I said it was Jay, and he says "You're beautiful, can I get your number?" And this time I just flat out said no but I guess I wasn't intimidating enough because he kept on trying to convince me again for a short while before he had to leave because we were at a semi-busy intersection.

So yeah we went to Manhattan with no idea of what to do. I wanted to go to a museum but I wasn't sure which one offered free admissions to CUNY students and we were too cheap to pay for admission so we didn't. We mostly walked around, and it's pretty terrible because we both have bad senses of direction so we kept on walking back and forth. Or more like he has a bad sense of direction and I just have... no sense of direction, because I did nothing to help because I'm not too familiar with Manhattan. We did go bowling at a really cool place though, they had this showcase of signed bowling pins from famous people who bowled there like Ludacris, The Backstreet Boys, and Michael Kors. It was pretty expensive though, almost $25 for one game and our shoes :|

After that, we were going to go to this Thai restaurant to eat (he went there before and said it was a really good place, but we sort of lost getting there because he knew it was in the general area where we were, but he didn't know the exact location), but we found out that it closed down for renovation. We then decided to go to Max Brenner to eat, but we decided not to after seeing the high prices because we're both cheapos... So he just got Halal food and I got Subway and we sat down on the stairs of this one place and ate.

It would have been nice if I had a good camera with me, I really like the architecture of Manhattan. Some of it is really modern and looks really... crisp and slick I guess? Like large, corporate buildings with cool designs. But the buildings in some parts are older and looks and feels vintage-y. And the other parts are kind of like a mix of the two, kind of Gothic Victorian with a modern twist. I never really had the time to actually look at the buildings when I went to Manhattan in the past. I want to go to Manhattan one day, just by myself, and actually look at the architecture. Though I doubt that I'd actually do that, because then I'd get hopelessly lost.

Anyway I don't think I "feel" anything for him, which is a really good thing! 8) He's an awesome person, but he has these habits that kind of make me think ".....oh." Something that sort of sends off a tick in my head,  like keeping the faucet on the whole time while he's doing the dishes or stuffing everything in his sweater/jeans pockets and making it look bulkier... I just really hate when people put something bulky in the front pockets of their jeans, it makes it look weird. Unless it's like a semi-bulky wallet in the front pocket of dress pants/slacks, then that makes it attractive for some reason.

I hope he doesn't like me though. He told me that I looked nice today. I didn't know what to say back so I got a bit flustered and just kind of sqeaked out a "thank you," because I never know what to say when anyone says stuff like that to me. He also offered to walk me home since we take the same bus, but he lives a lot farther down. I don't know if he's just being nice or not. I hope he's just being nice.

Anyway ok end of post bye.
