My Sweet Sweet Julie Mack-a-doodle

This is my friend Julie Mack. I heart her, she is my wonderful Broadway friend in NYC. She is amazing and talented and someday she will be on Broadway and I will see her twice a week and never get bored with watching her awesomeness. This is us in my most harrowing NYC taxi experience thus far (I've only ridden in a taxi 4 times...)
We went to this funny burger dive in a fancy hotel that I can't quite remember the name of so won't put up here. Delish burgers though!
LOVE statue. These are fun. I kinda like these little reminders you find in random cities around the world about what life really should be about. (I am of course showing off my new bling : )
We walked past Radio City Music Hall which is just plain cool.
We got some sweet treats at Magnolia Bakery where their Banana pudding is to die for according to the sweet sweet Julie Mack. (I can't say either of my favorite Mack's first names without the accompanying last name cause it's awesome)

Yesterday on my day off Julie Mack and I went out and about. It was delightful! We got great food. We found cheap cute clothes (I got a whole new outfit appropriate for internship=hot dang sista!). And enjoyed good company. That night I met up with Dan and and a couple he's friends with (I guess it's my turn to set up the next double date). We got some Spanish grub (which wasn't so great but actually that is quintessential spanish style. All restaurant food is crap in Spain I discovered while living there and this was no different... huh). Then we went to a club and watched some of their high school friends perform. They were actually amazingly talented with multiple instruments each. Good times!

Now Politics... I hate them personally. 

I feel like a small conservative guppy in a sea of hungry piranha liberals and it drives me crazy sometimes! I feel like I can't express my opinion in any of my classes because the few people (well the one person, my friend Alex) who expresses a conservative view point is always round-aboutly attacked at some point in the conversation. I have never been able to understand this need many (not all) but MANY liberals have of attacking people and not allowing them to have their own opinion. 

I have strong opinions, nothing you say will really change them, no matter how long you argue with me and I hate arguing so I'll probably stop and nod my head nicely every few minutes so you feel like you're accomplishing something. I can see the point you're trying to make, I just have a different point of view! Now leave me alone and let me have my point of view without trying to tell me I'm a horrible intolerant person. Leave me alone with my own thoughts please!

Anyways... I feel better now : ) just needed to get that off the chest. Here's one little guppy swimming away yet again...
