So far so good. I'm not really that superstitious. Bad things happen to me all the time so Friday the 13th wouldn't be all that special. It was spookly last night though. All foggy. It was foggy this morning too and when I saw that ... yeah ... I just rolled over and hit snooze a few times. The only reason I got up is because Richie said he's coming by. But I know he's not gonna get here until much later if at all he does show. I hate when he does that. I have nothing planned really. I never really plan anything for Fridays.

I have to pack this weekend and make sure the apartment's extra clean since Richie has someone staying here next Monday and Tuesday. I don't want to carry a lot of stuff into the city but I wanna carry my blades for sure. I wonder if Amber blades. Hmmm ... I don't want to go to the park alone. If Monday's really nice I could go to Central Park in the afternoon. I've set up a couple goals to accomplish while I'm in the city.

• Print and mail a book I wrote to be copyrighted. I might get lucky and get published.
• Practice my blading.
• Find an apartment!!

Its funny .... because when I started out thinking of looking for an apartment last December ... I had this mindset. I wanted a studio. I didn't want roommates in the least. I had to be in a certain area. Maybe that's why I haven't found a place yet. Maybe I had to fall off my white horse into the mud and realize that cardboard box would be ok. I'd be able to call it my own.

Roommates are fine now. I know as I typed what I just did ... I'm gonna be bitching about how crazy they're making me. It'll be easier to deal with though. I'll be back in the city. I'd have my own room and I can have a pretty high level of tolerance when I want to. I'd be able to hang out with Husani more since I'll be in the city. I'll be able to go to the park ... meet new people. Make friends.

Y'know what else I've been thinking about a lot lately too? Getting a pet. I'd prefer a dog. A small breed. But I can't do that until I know what's happening with my visa and stuff. I'd die if I got a dog and then had to go back to the Caribbean and have to leave it or something. I dunno how easy it is to travel with pets. I would of course carry it with me if I had to go back. I've thought about a gerbel or a hampster too. Easier to give away if I had to leave. But its not the same y'know. They dont sleep at the foot of your bed like a dog would. They don't greet you and lick you all over when you get home like a dog would.

I dunno ... I just feel that if I get an apartment I'd be able to sort things out a lot more. I wouldn't have that to worry about anymore. And being back in the city again would help me focus better on work .. believe it or not.
