August 20, 2006: "city life"
i'm really grateful for all the suggestions regarding my work ethic, and i took them all to heart. really, i did, so i'm proud to tell you that i haven't completed any work since.

well, i guess i'm not really proud of that, but i'm genuinely thankful that people actually listened to me. that's pretty cool.

went out to new york city yesterday to have a day with my sister. upon our rendezvous in her apartment, i immediately went to do this: a foto: the real new york experience.

yeah, whatever. i'm immature.

anyway, we hiked all of manhattan in heels, but i think i'll always choose artifical height over happy feet. en route back to new jersey, i had an intractable battle with mind. or whatever is the root of drowsiness. it was much too difficult of a task to stay awake, but i did, hurray! if my eyes had faltered, i probably would've missed my stop and ended up in ohio. of course, the prospect of skipping my stop and beginning a new life in ohio was what pushed me to keep my eyes open. that, and the lemonade, frappuccino, and water scornfully swirling inside of me.

zero for sleepiness, one for connie and her bladder.

(PS: new layout, featuring the lyrics of "nobody" by five for fighting and a really old building in pennsylvania; apologies for any substandard pages at the moment)

Answering your question in my comments: I am located almost in the middle of Germany :-)
But: Wow, New York City! The pictures looks ... interesting ;-) Wonder what their kids would look like *g*

Awesome layout ^_^
Wow, walking all around in heels? Hm, I've never tried that, lol, but mainly because I have no good high heels, hehehee.

Thanks for commenting on GIRL.

Anyway, what a brilliant layout. It's a blog, but it looks different. The colours and photos are so pretty.

I like to wear heels all the time too. Being a short ass is no fun!

Besides heels give you a better posture and a better walk. Apparently, according to Trinny and Susannah from What Not To Wear...

I'm dying for a frappuchino. Damn Starbucks, and their expensively weak coffee :/

Nice photo by the way. I can see some real intelligent thought went into producing it XD

Ohh, I miss New York! xD Awesome picture, of course.

yah, I'd definitely choose happy feet over high heels. I dunno, they're okay in small doses.

OMG, that is totally something Manuel would and has done, haha~ Not the heels part but the stuffed animals, hehe~

Now-a-days I suffer shortness but have comfy feeling feet, LOL. XD I don't wear heels anymore or actually platforms, what I have stacked high in my closet. =___=;

[stephanie] Monday, August 21st

oh p.s., i have talked to my roommate about the situation like 5 times and she still rarely asks me to do anything with her anymore :(

the only time i wear high heels is when i go to a wedding, or a dance or something. even then, i can't stand to wear them for more than an hour, and i DEFINETELY could not wear them if i wasn't sober. my props to you and your toughness. i hate uncomfortable shoes!

If I ever decide to visit New York, I shall make sure the 'real' NY experience is incorporated somehow into the agenda. =P

You choose heels over happy feet? C-R-A-Z--- LOL, I'm just kidding. I don't think I've technically ever worn heels for an extended about of time (more than 2 minutes), but I do admire your courage.

As for this layout- it's great. I love how you did the color filter on the blended images.

xx

[Jenna] Monday, August 21st

LMAO at the pic, you make me laugh in like all your entries.

Ugh you walked all round town in your heels? How x_x, my feet would be bleeding x

[Elena] Monday, August 21st

Thanks for the comment.

The font size is fine, i think it's the color. But then again, the sun is blazing through my curtains so that may be it. lol

[Elena] Monday, August 21st

Your new layout is lovely. I adore what you've done with the picture. It puts a whole new image of Pennsylvania in my mind.

I love the use of colors. I would've never thought to use blue and red.

[Tanya] Monday, August 21st

The new layout is absolutely gorgeous...I love those lyrics. I can totally understand the heels thing...even my sneakers have heels :-)
