I went back to the states just a year later. This time though it was only a 3ish weeks trip to NYC to celebrate my graduation. I give the best presents to myself! :D
I was so lucky to have my friend Blake let me crash at his amazing appartment during my whole stay. New York was fun, I hung out with a ton of Vimeans, watched movies in parks, went to Afro Punk with Pam, celebrated a kick ass 4th of July at a Couchsurfing party, saw a huge gay pride parade, rode the subway, drank beer, went bowling, saw impromptu street parties when MJ died, bought 1<3NY t-shirts for my whole family, lost my ipod touch, had picknicks, sat on rooftops, cried in the laundromat when they showed MJ’s daughter speak at his funeral while folding my laundry, drank a lot of iced coffee, saw many bums, ate sushi, bought a lot of umbrellas, aimlessly strolled through the streets and made friends.
