I had a fantastic day today! I never thought that I'd actually have a good time in queens, but even I can be surprised I guess.
I was a little upset because I had to get up early to go to class (on a saturday :S) and I got a pretty bad cold two days. I hasn't let up yet. Anyway I started off the day a little bitter, and after having to sit in a cold classroom till 4:30 I was ready to go home and stay in a bad mood. Well I suppose that destiny had a different plan, as my friends invited me to go to dinner at a great Greek restaurant in Astoria. I was a little hesitant considering that I'm not really a queens kind of girl (nothing against queens, I just had a problem with seeing the sky that clearly in new york city...I'm weird...don't judge me), but I decided that it might be fun. Me and my three friends from school (Maria, Maria , and Carolina) got on the subway and headed toward queens.
When we got on the subway my elbow grazed by this woman. I always feel bad for people who are so miserable that they have to try and make everyone around them's life a living hell. The lady turned around and said "I better here an apology within the next 5 seconds" at first I was a little confused and then realized she was talking to me. I ignored her as I actually didn't even understand what she was referring to. This is simply a little life lesson to be kind and don't sweat the small stuff.
So queens. We ate more than human being have a right to eat and by golly it was AMAZING!!! After eating the whole restaurant, my friend Maria (also known as Maria the greek...she actually is greek) mentioned that she read palms. I've always been fascinated by things like that so like the curious, crazy person I am, I quickly extended my hand. There are things you want to know about your future and other things that don't have the affect you want them to. This was a little bit of both. I will live a very long time. I will travel a lot. I will have a thriving career. Apparently I will also have 3 husbands. This is something I don't quite understand but if I plan on following in my celebrity mother's footprints ( Liza minnelli) I guess that would be accurate. I don't think it will be however. Along that line Maria said that I would maybe be married to two people at once... WHAT???!!! That's not in my plan anyhow. I will have one child with the chance of a second. Amongst a few other things. Let's see how much of it happens for sure, but either way, it was kind of fun.
After that we went for a fantastic walk in Astoria Park and acted like completely crazy people. Sometimes it's good to do something like that. To be insane keeps you sane. What a fun night!
:)
Although Manhattan is my home, I plan on giving Queens a bit more of a chance. I also am madly in love with all things Greek!!!
LOVEEEEEEE
