These Days

Had a mental evenin… Just cotchin now n listenin to some music… this came on my random shuffle thingy, I wish i’d written this song so much, it’s by Jackson Browne n I actually prefer his version to the Nico one that came on shuffle, everyone seems to think she wrote it, she didn’t, but she was fuckin cool :)

Went to the Spring dance at the Jewish home for the elderly on the upper west side this evening… It was so amazing, can’t even begin to explain, I wasn’t allowed to take pictures or film or anything, I was a bit gutted but I understood that it was a private thing… All the old peeps were in wheelchairs, except for one guy – Alfie, he was on his zimmer bustin out country moves to salsa n jive, he ruled, big time!!! The idea of bein a volunteer was to ask the peeps if they wanted to dance and show them a good time, they were all in a line around this lovely ballroom so it was well cute, I danced with at least 10 of em, the dancing wasn’t average cos they were in wheelchairs so I span them round n stuff, made em feel special… they loved my accent of course n i promised to send my regards to the Queen… It was beyond emotional for me, as I knelt down to speak to this one old lady, Josie, her hair smelt just like my little nans hair n I burst into tears like an idiot, had to go have a moment, god i’m such a wet fish when it comes to the olds… I wanted to take them all home n look after them, make them cups of tea, hug them and make sure they have lovely slippers to wear at all times…I feel so lucky to have been able to be part of tonight, it really meant a lot to me and it’s something that I’ll never forget so I know I don’t have photos or videos or anything but I didn’t really need em afterall :) All u bumbas should go n do some volunteering, if u don’t like olds then there’s always kids, n if u don’t like people then there’s always animals & nature n if u don’t like any of them then do not read my blog anymore n do 1 in every possible way that u can do 1!!!

I won’t go on about the crackhead that followed me for 10 blocks calling me Lola – NYC is the best & the worst at the same time – LOVE IT!

Whilst waiting for the G train on my way home tonight there was a guy playin the accordion, he was playings songs from Amelie, it was soooooooo lovely, made me miss all my nearest n dearest a lot n made me want to take them all to the south of France to drink wine, smoke bifftas, eat cheese and dance around lavender fields to accordion music…I fear I might be turning into a bit of a hippy, in fact nah, course I aint, Sean Paul has just come on random, hippies do not listen to Sean Paul, i’m still a slag!
