Birthday
It was my birthday yesterday. Let's see what did I do... Rather then go straight home in '06 and cry in my sleep while being interrupted by the phone, and different then what I did in '07: when I spent the entire time in Florida and avoided people other than the friends that were with me at Walt Disney World. This year '08, I went to work, helped a friend shop for a replacement camera battery, memory card and travel adapter. Then tried to get home as late as possible so I can avoid the phone calls. I really wish people would stop calling and bothering me. Family members can be such a drag at times. Birthdays are the most attention grubbing days ever. And I don't need the attention. I'm grateful for the show of attention, but don't need it. Mom gave me something better than a recycled sweet 16 card from years ago with an IOU note. This year, I got a recycled thank you card for the Jamaica flight tickets. It has astounded my expectations of: NOTHING. And Dad's planning to take me to Red Lobster. ... ... ... ... Yes, Red Lobster. ... ... ... O...K...
On a side note, evil MonkeyKng had me looking at some Halloween costumes. @_@ I went splurging!! I wanted these soooo cute outfits. I bought like three different costumes. I guess I'll be selling on eBay by Christmas >_>. But I got a pirate outfit, geisha and vamp outfit. ^,..,^ So I have a choice what to wear if I go out this Halloween. Yea, IF....Anyway, I've been checking out the San Gennaro Festival/Feast. I've been there about twice now. Going again tonight, I think. Haven't really taken any photos because I know it's going on for 10 days. First day, I was going to archery and I was early. Called Ka Hong and we hung out walking down Mulberry Street, just taking in the sites. At the time, I only had my camera phone, so I really didn't take any pictures. While we were walking, the fair stretched longer than we thought. Btw, didn't know but you could get a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri just for the tube shaped plastic cups they had. :3 So from Canal Street, we ended up at Houston. We continued walking all the way to E23rd. We saw this guy with a cat on a leash. Ka Hong was admiring the rolls of bills he was counting and I was absorbed with how he had the cat not fighting the leash. And when he walked off, he had the cat jump up his sleeve and sit on his head and walked off. O_O! sooo cool! I could never teach Trixie that trick. I have a camera phone pic of that, but it's probably too poor quality to really see it.
Second day of San Gennaro Festival/Feast. It was Sunday. After work, I owed MonkeyKng a favor. Honestly, I feel bad for pulling people out of their way. So I paid for tickets to see Sukiyaki Western Django!! -__________- AWFUL!!! A tribute to bad films. But I urge you all to go see it because misery loves company. The bad english, the terrible acting, the pointless dancing, the failed rape attempt and the clueless people fighting. The movie was painful... painfully pitiful. I was literally pulling my hair out at the end. ARGH!! Then walking to the train station, we went through the festival/fair. Again, no camera. But still saw the people enjoying themselves. Go on Canal St and Centre: FIGHT! o_e We weren't involved but the way the two guys were going at it, MonkeyKng had to push me back because they were fight in our way. The two guys were fighting, one of the guy's girl jumped in. Some guy in a black shirt from down the block ran up and jumped in. LITERALLY! O_O They started to roll around on the concrete. Then rolled into Canal St traffic. The girl had the guy attacking her bf in a headlock!! The cops ran in and tried to pull them apart. Nightsticks flashed! o.o and they were finally restrained. Whew... Quentin Tarantino could learn from this fight to make a better movie. Well, I'm hoping third day at feast/fair will not be as entertaining.
