Chocolate Clouds

Welp. It's been awhile. I've missed you all dearly. But I've been a little busy. What with school, and work, and sitting on my butt and doing nothing in between. I'm back though. And hopefully I haven't lost my touch.

In the past coupled weeks I managed to turn in a design project, almost finish another one, clean my work office to a shine, and almost get blown away. But all I've been able to think about lately is eating chocolate. Why? I'm not really sure. But  whenever I'm eating, or in between eating, or thinking about eating, all I see is chocolate. I can taste it on my tongue. I can see it in my mind. Yet it's nowhere to be found. Occasionally I mosey on down to the vending machine on the 9th floor to get a Butterfinger or Reese's Cups, telling myself that I have to walk the six floors to do it. Alas, the walking up and down steps does nothing to stop me from getting what I want. So if any of you are feeling generous. Please, feel free to send me some chocolate.Of any kind. I promise, it'll help me with my school work.

Apart from my recent obsession with chocolate, I have realized that if you want to see cops wandering around every block in groups of four or more, all you have to do is create a hurricane and have it disrupt the city. Seriously, guys. I saw more cops in ten minutes than I have seen the entire time I've been here. Well, as long as we don't count the day that I saw about a hundred cops standing on the steps of the post office, getting their picture taken. But really, I've never felt so safe in my life. It was like I had body guards that changed with every block that I walked. I could get used to that...

For those of you who were worried about me while Sandy was running amok, no need to worry. Where I was we had absolutely no problems. Occasionally my windows would shake and I got terribly tired of sitting in my room, but other than that, nothing happened. I was a bit disappointed, but also glad. What made me sad was that my windows are the worst for storm watching. I missed the big windows in my family room at home that allowed me to sit and watch the rain and wind. Oh well. At least I didn't actually blow away.

It's really strange though. I've always noticed the calm before the storm in regards to nature. How you can smell the storm before it gets to you, and see all the animals hiding, but wow. New York City people really brought a whole new meaning to this. I went out on Sunday, to grab some ice cream for dinner of course, and there was nobody out. Now, nobody is relative, so there were some people, but I could actually move without running into anybody, and I was able to ride the elevator up and down from my room without anybody else. Now the ice cream was delicious (Cookies 'n Cream...mmm) but really I could not get over the fact that everybody was just...gone. I wasn't nervous about the storm until then. And once I got to the Drugstore to get my fix, it was packed! Completely. The line could have gone all the way to North Carolina and back. Okay. Maybe not. but it sure felt like it when I was only buying three things.

The ice cream was worth it though. You should replace your meals with frozen delights more often. It's delicious and filling. And delicious.

I came to the conclusion recently (not the one that I'm completely ADD) that my mom and sister and i should open up an organization business. For real. last week all I did at work was organize and clean, and it was great. I got to throw things away that weren't being used and use lysol wipes to clean and disinfect. It was therapeutic. I've never felt better then the day after the cleaning, walking into the office and not feeling like I'm walking into a war zone. My head was clear and I didn't feel itchy from the dirt. So if any of you think this idea is plausible, let me know! That way it'll be easier to convince my mom and sister to join me. And I'll have an excuse to go to IKEA and the Container Store. So please. RESPOND. Or send me a text. Or something.

I'll try to be better about this whole blogging thing for you. Just for you. :)

Do pobachennya.
