Week Sauce

What an eventful week.

Candace went out of town last Friday and stayed extra long to watch and assist her nephews' birth. She showed me pictures and I gotta say, I don't know how I would deal with a person giving birth right in front of me, but then I'm not Candace. She just got back yesterday (Thursday), but her friends Lili, Jeff and their baby Kinan have been staying at the apartment since Tuesday morning.


I'm glad I wasn't alone too many nights in a row. I get really scared being alone at night, and to be quite honest I prefer to share a bed. I was sleeping in the living room on the couch for part of that time (to avoid letting the dog onto the freshly laundered sheets of the bed) and I kept having this horrible feeling that I would be abducted by aliens. Or, that I would look out the window and see a little alien staring in at me, as my bestie Micaela described seeing once upon a time. Basically, I'm really afraid of abduction - alien or otherwise. I told Candace about it and she asked me why I even thought about that? Good question. I have no idea and I wish I wouldn't but I have unfounded paranoia. Or do I?

Anyway, what I came to realize is that I should look for a shared house with roommates. I really hate to live alone as I am terrified of being abducted and I would like to cut my odds in half (50/50). I think it would also be a good way to make some friends and get to know New Yorkers, or more than likely, other transplants. I think I'm ready to start making friends and getting to know the city. My plan is to find places online where there are a lot of rentals, then go visit the neighborhoods and see if I would like them. I can pretend I live there, cant I?

I'm so hungry all of the sudden, wtf?

Candace asked me if I'd like to stay in Redhook and I think yes, but it's the only part of Brooklyn I've seen. Also, most people I've talked to say that Redhook is the least Brooklyn-ey place in Brooklyn. I'd like to know what they're talking about. I'd also like to find a place with a 24 hour laundry near by. I had to walk to one a few blocks away and later that night there was a drive by shooting that injured 5 people right where I had been walking. Maybe like an hour and half later. I still would really like to get my library card too.

There's a newspaper here that tells you about all the free stuff in New York. I'd like to take advantage of that stuff and now that Candace is back and can take care of her dog, I think it's a good time to give it a shot.

Laterz.
