Yesterday was totally my day. I should move my birthday to October 24th. Seriously. Maybe it's this 'positive' thing I'm doing. Trying to be positive in every situation. If I get into a horrible accident and have to have my legs amputated ... I'll look on the bright side. I'll save money since I'll only have to buy shorts. If somethign happens and I go blind ... I'll learn braile. Something I've always wanted to do.

But yesterday was one of the nicest days I've had in a long time. Nothing even all that special but it was just really nice. No hassles. As if the relaxing train ride up to White Plains continued through the rest of the day. I was actually alone for most of the time in White Plains. I finished up all the work I had to do and played around with stuff on my laptop. Deleting old files I didn't need. Making space. Stuff like that. But it was ... nice.

I went over to the Galleria for my usual sushi fix around 1 or so. I went up to the fashion level before I got my sushi though. Just to see what else Old Navy had on sale. I really don't have enough clothes for fall and winter yet. And you would think that I'd get fall/winter clothes. No. I got a pair of shorts at H&M for two bucks. That's the cool thing about shopping now. Anything you wanted to get during summer ... you can get now at some ridiculous prices. Of course ... it's getting too cold to wear. But ... a sale's a sale. The shorts are cool. Almost as nice as the blue shorts I frickin love! These have buttons up the front instead of a zipper. The kind of shorts you'd want someone take off of you.

They didn't have the sushi I wanted. Tuna or salmon. But they offered to make it. I thought that was so cool. I asked if I could have avocado with tuna and they made it right of me. As usual ... they gave me great service. It was really cool standing there watching him make my sushi. I've never had that done before.

I chatted on the phone with my friend, Michael for a good long while after I got back to the office. He's so cool. I could never just talk to him for like a minute. It almost always ends up going over an hour. That's when I know that I really like someone. If I don't get bored talking to them and ignore my ear hurting to talk with them. Husani, Rudy, Amber and Michael. Those are the few people I can do that with. No pauses in between.

I actually chatted with Michael until I finished up redoing some forms and left for the city. I called Rudy when I got into the city. From a payphone near Union Square. I couldnt get him so I left a message. There was an accident. Scaffolding fell and killed 5 people. So sad. I had no idea what was going on when I got there. I just saw cops and police tape all over the place. First thought? Another bomb scare. Or anthrax *sigh*. It's hard not to be paranoid now. I chatted with D.W at Petco. Looking at the mice. I really want one. Well ... two of 'em. Everybody thinks I'm insane to want pet mice. I've never had them though and it would be cool. I have to ask Mark if he's ok with it though.

I called Rudy again close to 9 when Petco was closing. He told me to meet him at View. I did ... but not after waiting forever for the train to get there. I was starving so we went over to Venus Cafe for something to eat first. I had this really good grilled chicken sandwich with swiss. Rudy just had french fries I think. He asked about the Aaron thing and we chatted about how much guys can suck sometimes. I actually paid for dinner. Rudy left the tip.

Apple martinis are nice. I'm never having just gin and tonic again. Rudy's like a walking drinks menu. The boy knows his alcohol. It's always nice sitting at View having a drink. Looking at Chelsea happen outside. You can see just about every type of guy walk by while sitting there.

We left there after a while and went to Barracuda. I'd never been before. Adam hangs out there sometimes and he told me once I should check it out. It was nice. Just walking in and feeling more than a couple pairs of eyes on me. Especially in the 'boy are evil' mood I'm in right now. We sat on the couch and I was taken up with some animé they had playing on the screen for a while. We spent the rest of the time there talking about guys around us. Rudy had a pineapple bomb and was taken up with a blond boy he was convinced was the greatest thing since cell phones. He was ok. He was a little to plastic-looking and was with/flirting with another plastic-looking boy. Guys like that date clones.

There was one guy there I thought was really cute. He sat next to me for a while. I had my legs folded on the couch and he had to step over. Later he sat across the room from me and our eyes met a couple times. I jokes with Rudy and said his name was probably Chad or Chase or something. We laughed and he said he'd go over and tell the guy we had a bet going and ask him his name. I dared him to do it but he didn't. He wasn't buzzed enough I guess. We left soon after that because Rudy had to catch the train. We hopped a cab to Penn Station, hugged and parted.

Mark was up working on the entertainment center he got. Tools everywhere. Looking at me to jump in and help. Ha! I would've but I was tired. I stood there and watched him for a while, sipping apple juice with ginger ale. I remembered to ask him about the mice though. He's ok with it. Just doesn't want them getting out and eating stuff. Who does?

I washed my face, brushed my face and got ready for bed. Whispered prayers before falling asleep. Thankful for the good day. And hoping that my energy will remain postive. At least for a while.
