And a week later, I am back. Back and feeling better than I did a week ago but still confused about things. I mean...confused about life. I still don't know what to do but I'm still unhealthily obsessed with food in some way or another and am probably the last person that should be majoring in food studies. On Thursday my communications/journalism teacher took the class out for lunch to practice our writing and I really didn't want to go. I'm glad I DID go because I got to talk to my teacher about my frustrations and it made me feel marginally better, but it disturbs me that the idea of eating out with my classmates (who are all cool) made me feel uncomfortable. I'm socially regressing, if that's even possible.
But! But. I hung out with Arthur for more music practicing stuff. I suck at drums but I think it's a good place for me. Kind of. I mean, I enjoy doing it and it's easier than playing guitar and singing. :) We also watched the funniest episode of Angel in the entire history of everything called Smile Time. I've never actually watched a full episode of Angel before but nothing, NOTHING will ever compare to that one. I can't even describe it; you have to watch it. Okay, ANGEL TURNS INTO A PUPPET AND IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. God yes.
When Arthur told me his parents had a bowl of bite-sized chocolates something inside me cried. CHOCS. Oh, you need some backstory: yesterday I went chocolate hunting with my mum. We hit La Maison du Chocolat on 70-something St and Richart off 5th Ave after strolling through central park to see The Gates:
My mum wasn't that impressed at first but ended up buying some merchandise. I thought they were nice. They were larger than I thought they'd be and even though it looks kinda boring in photos it's cooler when you're actually there...ish.
After the chocolat hunting I've become a chocolate craving maniac. MANIAC. I ate five mini chocs in record time! And I wanted more. I dragged Arthur with me down from the Bronx to Wholesome Market near Union Square, my choice location for grocery shopping because they have organic/good stuff at good prices and give a 10% student discount. I bought celery, hummus, and Sundrops (like uncrappy M&Ms) for dinner. I'm still hungry. :(
I had a lovely time seeing Emiliana Torrini perform tonight at the Used Book Cafe (more at the music blog):
Makes me wish I could write songs like hers. I need Fisherman's Woman. Giimmeeee.
