I thought I'd like to get an entry out while my school trip to New York City is still fresh in my mind. Oh my god, it was AMAZING. Have you ever gone somewhere that's so perfect and exciting and funny and relaxed that you almost cry when you think about having to leave? I got to spend a ton of time with my friend Becca, who I met because we love music and stayed friends with because we love ALL of the same things (I swear, it's a little creepy). On the bus we listened to Nightwish with my iPod and discussed the stories and fanfictions we've both been writing in detail. The whole group watched Across the Universe (good but weird) and Enchanted (cute and funny and wonderful) on the nice bus TVs. We frolicked about Times Square and saw the Naked Cowboy, which I thought was pretty cool. Oh, and we went to M&M World, which was pretty fantastic if you ask me. We saw Hairspray, which can get annoying soundtrack-wise, but is really fun to see live.
Oh! Here's the cool part. We got to tour NBC studios, and at one point we got to a glass window that looked down into the studio where they shoot Saturday Night Live. And at the moment, there was a rehearsal going on. And right there, practicing a skit they did last night, was CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. I swear, it was the coolest thing! Seeing celebrities in real life is impossibly rare for where I live, and this guy...well, I always thought he lived as an ancient immortal being in an underground cave, coming out every year or so to star in a major motion picture. He gives that impression. So it was weird and AWESOME to see him for real!
I miss New York. I want to hop back on that bus and go back to the Embassy Suites and laugh at Cam as he flirts with the girls from another high school group and take more pictures of the big Phantom of the Opera billboard in Times Square and go back to F.A.O Schwartz to frolic like children in a candy store and see another musical and just BE with all those people again. School is going to be hell, after getting to miss all of Friday for the sake of the trip.
