Fun things for a change :)

well mostly fun things for a change :)

This weekend i did something super different for me..super unexpected you know.. i drove myself to NY on friday. i drove by myself and made the trip even though i was anxious and scared.  I  did something i was very afraid of and met a friend for the first time. and you know what??  i survived. i survived a whole 3 days in the city with a friend and did not die.  i rode the subway and the bus, i walked around the city at night. i saw times square and battery park, saw the lion king on broadway, the statue of liberty and ground zero. did i mention i walked all over the city lol. my legs hurt in places that i didnt know i still had.  but i did it. and i have had a good time.  i really have. its been different, its been scary, and weird ,and even a bit on the odd side. but i did it.

i was texting yvonne a little bit today and she said she was proud of me. she said that it was so cool that i stuck to my dream and did not let anyone change my mind.  i have wanted to see the lion king on broadway since it came out in 97. i have loved the lion king in all forms and fashion for such a long time. i know the movie, i know the music, and anyone who knows me well knows that i have wanted to see the lion king for forever.  i saw the traveling show a few years ago and it was awesome. dont get me wrong. it was a really awesome show. but broadway is well broadway!!! i wanted to see the broadway show. i wanted to experience seeing in in the big theratre in the middle of the city. i wanted to see the posters, the actors and actresses, i wanted to see the real live production. and today i did. i actually completed a goal that i had. a dream that i had.  you know i knew i would get here eventually and i did :)  yvonne was right. i really wasnt going to let anyone talk me out of coming..and i knew that i would make it. i knew it!


the down point to the trip was well the super crowded subway ride today.  seriously i thought the woman standing 'over' me was going to fall in my lap..i was anxious and unsure and so very crowded..i felt like i was trapped and just wasnt able to see a way out of the predicament..and it was super hard for me..i was afraid and tearful and just had a hard time calming my nerves..i prefer the subway when it is less crowded..i dont know how ppl do this on a daily basis. i really dont. other than that i managed the subways. not my favorite mode of transportation at all..but if it is not crowded i think i can manage it. the buses were ok and more easily manageable because of being able to just wait for the next one to come.
