...All of that optimism was then beaten to death with a blunt object as I found myself the only living single girl in new york on the subway & PATH rides to NJ. Thank you, Saint Valetine, you dirty, dirty bastard.
As a single gal in NYC, most people are amazed that I have yet to slit my own wrists at the thought of being single in this city full of love, flowers, and Tiffany's.
Location:
23rd street stop on the 1 train.
Me: On the train looking out
Mr. Me-Against-The-Music: plugged in.
Explanation:
Anyone in NYC has probably now, by this point, noticed that every so often there are these music ads for a CD with a big red box--usually they're associated with Target, side note--where you can actually plug in and listen to the album. This is a totally rad idea. Except, that usually they pick really, really terrible artists for it.
Scene:
Your narrator is sitting inside--tired and not yet awake for work--on the 1 train heading uptown. The train stops at 23rd street to a man dancing UP ON THE WALL.
Turns out he was rocking out to..."Keeps Gettin' Better" by Christina Augilera. (The current artist in the ads)...and he juuuust loved it. Like, was really into it. I guess he just felt like a superbitch, up to his own tricks, but it keeps getting better.
You actually couldn't see what the ad was, so anyone who didn't have the chance to glimpse a side view would've just thought this was a man getting his freak on a wall in the subway.
...Thank you, New York City, and all just-gotta-dancers everywhere.
I swear. I'm getting adjusted to my new job and new surroundings in New York City. But I will say this...
...I think if I run into Sarah Jessica Parker & her husband (Matthew Broderick) much more, one of two things might happen:
a.) I will get a restraining order placed against me
b.) we will become BFFs/the new babysitter
...me thinks it might be the former rather than the latter, however.
Stay tuned for more, soon! Promise!
