Only in New York?

I love riding the subway.
New York has one of the largest, I think.
Some don't like riding public transport, but I love it. Some of my best stories come from the time I spend on the subway.

For instance, today, I saw the beast and the beauty of the subway.

On my way to school, it was majorly crowded on the train this morning. I hadn't had the best morning since I woke up late. Didn't even get to wash my face or brush my hair. Felt kind of gross. But I was looking forward to my trip on the subway because I wanted to read Fifty Shades of Grey. I just started it. When I got to the subway, I was met with a throng of people in every cart. Luckily, I was somehow able to squeeze myself into one of the carts. In the crowd, there was a big, square cart about average four people wide right dead center. Taking up so much space. A black lady (no racism in the word "black" >.< it's just easier to type) was sitting there, stated her possession of the massive cart by placing her hand on the corner. I wasn't bothered by the cart though because people have the bring their stuff one way or another. To my displeasure though, after a couple of stops, the black lady suddenly gets up, throws her bag on the seat, and starts yelling. "What is wrong with you? Don't touch me!" The subway begins to get so crowded that I assume this korean lady accidently touched the black lady on her way onto the train. The two get into an argument. The black lady goes on accusing the Korean lady of touching her, while the Korean lady denies it. Eventually, it heats up into a racist argument. The black lady goes on to call the Korean lady a foreigner, tells her to "Go back to China!", and that she has no manners. The Korean lady is angry, but doesn't know what to say. Her only defense is, "I'm Korea!" Her English isn't so good, but that's how I know she was Korean. The black lady ignores her statement, and continues to insult the Chinese race, thinking it'd insult the Korean lady...
"Get your green card, and go back to China, you foreigner!"
"Chinese people are so rude and impolite. so dirty! [ruining all the toilets]!"
"Talk English! You don't even know nothing about English!"
"Jesus Christ is the true God! Buddha is the false god!"
"My people built up America. You don't belong here. I was born in America. This is my country! Foreigner!"
It was a continuous string of these statements from the black lady. She continued to ramble throughout the whole train ride. The Korean lady just laughed at her, shook her head, and continued her own business. Knowing it was a fight not worth fighting.

Now, I'd like to first state that... it don't tell a Korean person to go back to China. >___> If you're going to insult a person, at least do it right. Also... Buddha isn't necessarily a god.... he's a person worshipped for being able to reach enlightenment. So he can't be a false god, if he isn't thought of as a god in the beginning(?)
I can't believe she'd make fun of the Korean lady's English when, although choppy, she still made somewhat grammatical sense, whereas the black lady was talking in improper English and spoke with so many double negatives ^^;;....
Her people built up America... but Asians built the railroads and make the majority of products used in America >____>. so I think everyone deserves a little credit here? ^^;.
If the Korean lady was seen to be rude (for accidently touching someone and defending herself from verbal attacks), then the black lady was mean! Insulting someone's race (a race in which half the people of the train was) and yelling in the morning. ALSO, she disrupted my reading ;A;. I re-read the same paragraph like eight times because I couldn't concentrate T^T.

Finally, the train reaches my stop, and I'm able to get off.  I transfer onto the next train. This young and light-blonde lady gets onto the train in a tight fit. She explains that she absolutely has to get onto the train as she attempts to kindly  (or as kindly as you can) push people into the train. Her dark mascara contrasting against her pale, white skin. As she's struggling to get her stuff together, I hear this dark colored man (Hispanic, black, or brown. I didn't get a good look at him) say "Hey, I know you from somewhere." The two of them talk. And eventually, I learn that they're both dancers. In their young mid-twenties most likely. You hear them trade stories, knowledge, and experiences. Their passion was thick in the air while they spoke of their attempts to make what they love into their career. You can even see a bit of chemistry going on between them. or at least a blossoming friendship.

And that's why I think New York is a curious, wonderful place. There's so many different kinds of people. You'll see so many different kinds of things each day. I mean I do at least every time I go to school. It's like mini-dramas in each train :o

Finally! Prom~

Okay, I'ma start by first saying that prom was...AMAZING. LOL I shall start from beginning to end :3.

Getting ready for prom was a pain in the ass! Like omg, I practically died! I timed everything perfectly, so that I would be ready in time. However, a change in plans suddenly happened last minute. Luchia-chan wanted Choco-chan and I to do our nails at her house. LOL I love going to Luchia-chan's house (because she has an awesome living space x3), so I said yes :D. However, I liked staying at her place a lil' too much, so I ended up being late ;A;. By the time we went to the salon to do our hair, we only had an hour left. The salon, by the way, was very nice. I think I might go there again xD. LOL it was a Korean salon, and the person didn't speak English very well. However, I like how they did good work, fast ^__^b. I mean, it did take them like 40 minutes, but I guess for hair, that's pretty good time. The first place I went to said they'd take a whole hour or more for like $60! I was like "fuck that," and went someplace else xD. After we got our hair done, I went to this ADORABLE clothing shop nearby (which I shall also go back to one day <3), and bought myself a cardigan. Haha, my dress was spaghetti strapped, and like.... >________> I needed to cover up. So I bought a cardigan because I don't have that kind of girly clothing on hand xP. It cost me only $15 :) which was much better than the starting price of $21. LOL I love on sale stuff <3.

Anyways, by the time I got home, I only had like 20 minutes left @____@. Getting to the point, I ended up leaving a half hour later than plan OTL like damn. Way before prom started, I joked about arriving "fashionably late" like you see in the movies, but we thought it best to go on time. However, we ended up late anyways xP. They had to take attendance and food orders, so us arriving late was a bad idea x___x. BUT ! Being the awesome me, everything turned out swell 8D. LOL. We did arrive like in the movies. IT WAS EPIC! Like fuck yea!! >D. My group of friends at school is like real tight with each other, and after being around for three years, everyone knows us xD. So when all us bad-ass and beautiful ladies walked in together, everyone's mouths just dropped to the floor x3. It's no joke~. Haha, and then for some reason, everyone came up and hugged us. LOL It was like "Yay~! You're here *hugs*." It was weird because I was hugging people left and right. And like, two random guys I'm not really close to started hugging me. I was just like "WTF is going on?" LOL So hell yea! Unintentionally arriving "fashionably late" actually worked 8D. However, I do not suggest you to do that~. It seems really lame if you do it on purpose xP.

Since we arrived late, all the seats were like taken. However, thanks to my charming date, I was saved a seat <3. LOL He was really gentleman like by pulling out my chair for me and pouring my drink. It was cute ^____^. I told like my group of friends that I was going with him, but he didn't tell any of his. Haha, so when I was late, everyone thought he was lying about his "surprise date" XD.

Oh wait! Stopppp! I don't think I told you who my date was yet o__o. Okay, so this'll sound funny, but.. my date was meh son 8D. LOL.. incest xP. Don't worry though! I didn't leave Luchia-chan to die by herself. She ended up going with Nyu-san. Which like totally broke my heart because I wanted to go with Nyu-san D':

At the prom, Ronny and I was doing a crazy crap load of stuff together! I swear, the two of us would probably be rated the most corniest couple of all couples xD. Honestly, we were just stealing a bunch of stuff we've seen from movies x3.

We were feeding each other the food that was served at prom 8D. Corny activity #1 ♥.

LOL This started because I fed him our appetizer of salad. To be honest, I don't like eating salad. Even if it was "special prom salad", I still didn't want to eat it. So I fed it to Ronny xD //so mean. However, my plan back fired, and he started feeding me back salad too OTL. damn. xD. Then skipping all the way to the desert part, we were served cake. I fed him some of that too 8D. And everyone took pictures of us. LOL And all the other couples copied us! X-chan and Ken... (yea, I'll call him Ken xD), fed each other cake. And the plunger couple (yup, that's their name 8D), fed each other cake too. Tee hee, Ronny and I are such leaders >w<. lol jk xD. Anyways, feeding someone is fun 8D. ...just saying xD.

We were also served soda at the prom as well 8D. lol I like soda xD. It was fun, so everyone kept doing cheers. However, we didn't know what to cheer too, so we just kept knocking our glasses together. LOL XD. we're lame. I know.

At some point, Ronny suggest we drink our soda with our arms intertwined with each other. LOL. Totally movie based. Anyways, Corny activity #2 

 Nyu-san kept poking fun at how only couples getting married drink their glasses like that xP. It was fun though. LOL when we first did it, no one saw. Then, someone came along, and was like "Ohmigosh, do it again so I can take a picture!" To be nice, we drank with our arms crosses again. However, more and more people came, and for some god damn reason, they didn't come all at the same time. So by the time everyone was finished with all the pictures, our glasses were practically empty. And they started out full xP.

Besides cake, there was also cookies 8D. LOL I LOVE COOKIES ♥!! And since I'm a total Ouran High School fan, I pulled a Hikaru !! Oh ho ho~ <3 ;D.
Corny activity #3 ~

Ronny and I shared cookies >w<. Just like how Hikaru did so in the gif above. (Which was found here: http://azu-zelda.deviantart.com/art/ouran-high-school-host-club-141438246 ). Of course, I was able to look as seductively hot as Hikaru did <3. LOL and now that I look at this again, I should've totally held his chin. It adds to the affect <3. Haha, this I totally suggest doing. It's fun 8D... and sexy x3... when Hikaru does it at least xD. oh ho ho~. The same thing happened for the cookie scene though. Everyone wanted to take pictures, so I ate like 10 cookies @___@. I was so full, that poor Timmy couldn't get a picture since I couldn't eat another bite xD.

We also took many funny pictures together too! LOL I can't show you those though xD;; sorry~. It was really cool though. There was like this mini photo station with all these cute little props. It was a hella fun putting on cat ears and scarves and stuff. It was great 8D.

Anyways, enough about the couple stuff xP. Let's get to the part about the dancing. LOL And let me start with this, I CANT DANCE FOR LIFE XD. rofl. Davu~ (one of the random guys who hugged me when I walked in xP), kept telling me to dance. For some strange reason, he thinks I know how to dance. Pfft, boy is he blind? xP. Nonetheless, I came to prom to have fun, so I danced away the night~. I danced with like everyone @___@. with X-chan, Luka-chan, Rin-chan, Pari-chan, Choco-chan, Luchia-chan, and like a whole shit load of other people who I don't feel like giving nicknames to xD. Dancing is fun 8D even when you suck at it. At some point, Ronny and I had a dance couple war with Ken and X-chan. We just kept dancing and dancing, and bumping into each other, and it was crazy 8D. Oh, my friends and i came up with dance move called "The Pigeon" and "The Undertaker". I can't really show you what it is, but LOL by the names, you can tell it's kinda stupid xD.

Oh, but I had to leave half an hour before the prom ended D; it sucked. Haha, before I left though, everyone forced Ronny to kiss meh... cheek. LOL yea, just the cheek <3. His uh, labios (can't say it in English. too awkward XD), were like cold and thin. Haha, I could feel a tingly feeling from where he kissed for the entire night ^///^. And when everyone was walking away, I snuck up behind him, and kissed him on the cheek too. LOL because it seemed right 8D. LOL. //lame reason.

And then I rode home in meh car with Nyu-san. Oh ho~ had her all to myself ;D. lmfao <3.

Prom was amazing though. One of my greatest nights <3. LOL Sounds corny, but in my fourteen years of living thus far, it is true 8D. LOL.

Friday

Heh heh ^ ^;; looks like I couldn't find the time to tell you about the events of what happened at P.'s birthday party. Yea, I can explain why I didn't tell ya about it on the actual day. Long story short, my family and I had an all out war. There were men dying everywhere, and a whole bunch of screaming. I was getting my ass kicked. The battle lasted for five hours straight! :O All of our nations were getting hungry and so were its commanders/generals. It was a total pain in the butt. But in the end my sister and I took victory over all. Muahahahaha!! >:D           ...>.> *cough cough* now let my less insane sister explain what I meant. . .

Hi.... (my sister isn't good with greetings xD)
Sigh. To put it simple, me and her teamed up and had an Age of Empires battle with  our dad and little brother. When she's says "men were dying everywhere" she means that our fighting men in the game were losing/dying/being killed by our ruthless brother. The hunger part was about us wanting food, but we wouldn't give up on the game until one of us lost. ...and my sister lied about the part of us winning. >.> she just can't except that we lost. . .  (gosh, she puts it in such a boring way. I like my version better xD)


^ ^;; eh heheh... *awkward silence*...lolz xD so yea. That was a fun Saturday.
o.o oh wait, if that happened on Saturday..then why was I not able to write on Friday...? ....*thinking* Oh that's right! I got home late-ish, and had to watch my lil' siblings when my dad went out for a little bit. So I was super tired.

Thus, I shall tell you about the party today instead of the other two days I could have done it! :D  <-- gosh it took me forever to reach that conclusion xD

now time for:

Story Mode
P.'s house is like 10 blocks away from mine, and I had to walk there. So it was a rather long walk. But I had a lot of things on my mind so it seemed quite short. I was kind of hoping to see K. on the way over there (because I pass by his house) Unfortunately, when I got near his house, I just missed him. He was walking somewhere with his mom and lil' sister. I called him, so I could tell him to turn around, and it'd be such a romantic romantic moment.

Day Dream Mode
I call him, with me just 7 feet away increasing w/ every step, his phone starts to ring. K. stops in mid-step, and picks up his phone. "Hello?" he answers the phone in a surprised manor. "Turn around~ *winks even tho no one can see her xD* " He turns around to see the lovely face of me, Emiko. And he smiles.


Yea...I don't feel like getting into mushy stuff xD but you get the idea.
Sigh~ but the stupid boy doesn't carry his cell phone, so that was a total bummer.

lolz anyways, once I got there, I was quite lost. I didn't know which apartment building was P.'s, so I called her. Once I figured out which was her, I went to the elevator, and luckily my other friend appeared at the same time :D. So I didn't have to ride the elevator alone xD. I have to tell ya though, it was quite awkward. I don't talk to her much, so it was a pretty silent ride on the elevator. There wasn't even any elevator music! Gosh, how odd.
Anyways, once we got there we started playing cat's cradle while we waited.
Once everyone came, we went to the park nearby, and started having water fights and stuff. But I wasn't allowed to get wet, and so were a few other people. So we played Frisbee. A whole bunch of little boys wanted to play too, and I think my friend Mel. got quite annoyed. She's the youngest in her family, so I guess she's not used to dealing with little kids. Me, I'm stuck with em'; little kinds I mean (two little brothers, one little sister, and a childish dad xD). Eventually we started playing man hunt, which is a form of tag. Then we watched a play-like thing that a church was hosting, and got free lemonade. <--we're such free loaders xD. Then, we went inside for party games :D. We actually played hot potato; with an acutal potato. lol xD. I was the first to lose ^ ^;;. Thus, I was forced to dance in the middle of the circle. It was quite fun..until P.'s mom started taking pictures xD. Everyone then got bored, and we all started dancing like crazy. I also pigged out on the snacks. I felt so rude, but the food was very tasty ^ ^;;. I couldn't help myself. Then after eating was some more games. I won four of the party games! I'm so pro ;D.
Gift time was fun too. About half the people there gave her jewelry (cuz she loves jewelry xD). Thus, making my gift perfect! I gave her a small cute pink jewelry box-like gift. So pro at gift picking too~. Everyone loved my card. They all thought it was cool how I made it with the computer. Most of them laughed at what my card said too xD.

Birthday's are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake, so eat tons of it; and have a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D


P.S. I was going to give you something even more awesome for your birthday, but the mailman made me get out of the mailbox.


Pretty awesome birthday quote, ne? <-- which I found on the internet, and added a lil' bit of my own touch here and there xD. I love the internet. haha

I think P. enjoyed my gift overall though. ^ ^ that made me happy. I love it when things turn out successful.
Anyways, my dad made me leave the party early, so that was a pain in the butt.

I can't believe the next morning my legs were sore from the running and dancing. I must be really out of shape xD.

okay, well, it's getting late now (almost midnight @_@), so I got to go.
Goodnight~ ;D


ps. gosh this was quite long ...
