drunk
so...i'm gauging my entire day and evening...and basically my entire existence in NY on the bus schedule to and from NY from jersey. so i know that the last bus to NJ leaves port authority at 1:52 am...
so i get to port authority at 1:35 and find out the schedule is WRONG and the last bus left at 1:20. i called the few numbers i had for people in manhattan...either the phone was off, not working, or they were in connecticut...and the one night tenisha isn't staying at home. i was stuck in manhattan with no where to go. i had to hail an un-budgeted cab for 60$ back to hackensack....that was after crying for about 30 min trying to figure out what to do when i'm stuck an lost in a city i don't know how to get around very well, and i know hardly anyone.
so this means...no statue of liberty, cuz that costs money...or i can go there and not eat for half the week.
i called where jake was staying and no one answered, so i called a cell of someone who lived where jake was staying to see if they were home and jake was there...and all he did was give me grief. all i wanted was someone to calm me down. not someone to reitterate (sp) how fucked i was and then go into their spew of how much they don't like jake. i know jake isn't the greatest person in the world, but he's who i knew could make me think rationally about the situation. it's hard to be drunk and upset in a city you don't know and you feel like you're stuck.
so i'm doing nothing tomorrow. monday i may try and see some stuff. tuesday i'm gonna see chicago. i've already bought the ticket.

don't worry about missing the statue of liberty. the only good part is the ferry ride.
(i didn't actually go to NY last week. my ex-boyfriend and his two roommates went and stayed with one of my best friends who goes to school up there. . . so i was stuck here, while they were all having fun. now i'm just pretending that i went. hence the poorly made picture. haha)
