What a week!

So it’s been a busy week, Sanj has been here since last friday and therefore I haven’t had time to update the happenings…

I kinda wish i’d written something everyday cos now i’m finding it hard to remember exactly what’s happened, it’s definitely involved booze, subways (renamed Subrina), gays, sunshine, shopping and plenty of freaks…

Sanj was supposed to go home today but because of this volcano in Iceland it’s all over, he might not be able to fly til Wednesday, we’re both mega low on funds so looks like we’ll be pimping ourselves out from now on, girls need to eat ainit!!!

Couple of favourite memories i wanna put down so i remember them…

1. Sanj arriving through the gates!

2. IHOP

3. The Cock

4. Central Park meal

5. Sanj’s face @ Times Square

6. Mexican Trannies

7. The Grudge.

8. Seb

9. Best sandwich in the world

10. Wolverine the lot

A poem i wrote, a happy one at last, in a way!

The day that the light came back on.

I hadn’t noticed how long it had been,

I even missed him in my dreams.

I spent every day thinking of him

& sat in the dark, not letting light in.

I heard music but I didn’t really listen,

I cried so much that my chest would glisten…

I wasted my time, as if I had plenty

& began to think that the glass was half empty.

I eventually opened the curtains & it was spring.

I made a decision to change a few things!

I put on my favourite shade of lipstick

& glued my heart on my sleeve with Pritt Stick.

I looked in the mirror for what seemed like a week,

I then found my voice and started to speak…

I finally admitted to myself that he was gone

& that was the day that the light came back on.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

I can’t stop eating!!!!!!!!! It’s really quite bad, it’s impossible to go into a deli or a store of any kind and not buy at least 1 pack of Reese’s peanut butter cups!

I got cocky in the sunshine today and got burnt, lookin like a ripe tomato on the top n pale as ever on the bottom, tomorrow i will wear shorts and a polo neck, not that i own any polo necks but summat that covers my chest, oh actually i don’t have ANY top that covers my chest – slut attire is all i have maybe i will angle myself in the shade somehow…

Today was all about not making it to the post office in time…and realising how expensive it will be to send my 22 letters, not deterred tho, i’m gonna do the most obvious thing to me, send em all in a parcel to my mom n then get her to send em… So if u receive a letter/card from me with a Walsall post mark then I am really in New York n not in Walsall, trust!!! Lorraine (mom) will save the day i just know she will…

I made some friends today, kind of, some boys, i even played basketball for a bit, until i realised that they were staring at my tits everytime i moved in a running type fashion, i wasn’t quite dressed for sport so i made my excuses n left em to it. I did get a blast off a very tasty blunt tho and a hug, albeit a sweaty, unwanted one…They wanted me to get a photo with em but again i had left my camera on my bed – idiot!!! They insisted that i tell everybody in the UK that i was playing basketball where Jay-Z used to play, they then asked me if i could say ‘ that’s very charming sir’ hahahaha

Anyway i’m just cotched up in my room blarin some uk garage haha, u can take the girl outta Bloxwich but erm yeh…

Tomorrow i go to play bingo with some old folk, shall remember my camera this time, in fact i’m putting it in my bag right now – DONE!

Sanj arrives on Friday, then the real debauchery can begin. Bare Back The Fuckin Lot!

1 WEEK

I LOVE New York!

This has been one of the nicest n most relaxing weeks I think i’ve ever had. It’s done me good being on my own and given me time to reflect on a few things. I guess the main thing I have realised is how vast the world is, how different we all are and how amazing it is to be able to stand back and watch the world going by. I feel right at home here and i’m already trying to think of ways to never come back to the UK. There’s a real sense of community in each area here, especially Brooklyn, I love seeing the Jewish families dressed to the nines, i keep smiling at them but I reckon they think i’m a bit special or something…

I’ve realised how lucky I am, ridiculously lucky!!! I feel truly blessed that I am able to spend time just indulging in this time away from work and life… I decided that as i’m not working over here the very least I could do is some volunteering, plus it will stop me from just constantly eating, I hope So I enrolled at ‘New York Cares’ it’s the biggest volunteer organisation in NY and Saturday was my orientation… I wasn’t too sure what to expect but I knew that the people I met would be good people. I was blown away! The team leader (Jonathan) is one of those unbelievable people, heart of gold, the kind of person that makes you want to be a better person, makes you feel a little guilty for not doing more for others. So as he explained the extreme poverty that some people face in NY and the many many projects that they help with I began to feel even more blessed and a huge feeling of sadness came over me. It was a strange feeling cos it was mixed with hope and tranquility, I guess I just felt so inspired by his kindness and warmth and so I just leapt up and hugged him. It was a knee jerk reaction, he looked terrified but I think he understood that I was just showing my love

So after the orientation I felt a bit teary, I thought about all the people I love and how I didn’t tell them enough how amazing they are. I thought about my nans, one in England & one in France, both living on their own after devoting their lives to helping other people. I made a pact with myself to be less selfish and to be more open, my heart has felt a bit fragile recently and i’ve blamed others for this when really it is only me that is to blame. I thought about Craig and smiled fondly, I even said a little prayer for him, not to god but to whoever/whatever is out there, I just hoped for someone/something to keep him safe n didn’t feel any kind of sadness anymore, just love and lots of it. I wanted to get everyone I love n have a massive pile on, hugs, kisses, gropes, the lot.

On Monday (today) I get to go and play bingo at a home for Jewish seniors, i can’t wait!!!! I wish you were all here with me, sharing in these wonderful feelings, sights, sounds & smells. I’m off to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens shortly to go and see the japanese cherry blossom festival, spring has well n truly sprung, life is beautiful and I am so happy I could burst. I love you all very very much and have you all with me at all times. Time for my cup of tea & morning spliff on the roof now… toodles xxx

New York – Tuesday

WOW WOW WOW

I woke up in New York today, it was shitting it down and muggy but I couldn’t have been happier, fuck the rain! Was up at like 7am cos i was all raring to go like… Headed into Manhattan with my LOVELY new housemate Gary, went for a breakfast at one of those diners you see in the films – loved it! EGGS EGGS EGGS! I was already ringing wet by 9am, like literally soaked through, even my new umbrella couldn’t help me… Favourite max 1′s – SOAKED THROUGH! Wasn’t even that bothered, that’s how i’m livin! Wandered the streets for a bit, went into about 50 shops n looked at all the trainers, salivated somewhat n then dragged myself away n into the warmth of another food place… Nooooooooodles, yum! Had the old ‘ur accent is sooooooo cute’ about a million times already, dun know! Headed home to get warm n kick back, now doing just that…Gonna cook some food for my housemates n then we are gonna get stoned n do some painting

London?

NEW FUCKIN YORK!

Yesssssssssssss! Made it! It wasn’t a pleasant flight, in fact to me those 2 words should never be put together… Delayed and trapped in the plane for hours

BUT – all that is gone and I am here! My new home is probably the best new home i could have imagined, in fact even better still! Made a new friend in the taxi queue at the airport, we shared a cab and swapped numbers so that was nice, she’s gonna take me shopping this week The LOFT – it’s immense, can’t even begin to explain how sick it is, photos to come!!! Off into Manhattan today to have a gander, getting a bike, some weed and some food very shortly…

This was one of my best ideas yet – Fifi done good!
