NYC Boy


Rain and Scottie invite me to to a party uptown. Since he never heads uptown, had to say yes. Going there, meet a blue-eyed girl named Gwen who said she can't tell who's mad and who's wearing a bluetooth headset. Contemplate giving her my number but we didn't hit the pivot point so I don't.

At the party, make my way across to my friends and run into pair of long legs before I find Rain.

Me: I just picked up the prettiest girl for you (turn to long legs and wave; she smiles and waves back)
Rain: (laughs)

We bounce into the bar in the pic where Scottie and Rain tell me that there's something wrong with me cause I don't sleep with the women I date.

Me: Guys call it "getting lucky," right? I hate that. It's a pathetic statement from pathetic men. Women don't "get lucky" but men do. That's ridiculous. Boys like me sleep with a girl cause we choose to, not cause we "get lucky."
Her: I don't approve.
Me: (shrugging and turning to Scottie) OK, I'll sleep with you then.
Her: (pause) Take a number.
Me: Sheeyah...
Bartender: (interrupting and pointing at me) Your friend's right. The guys that try to get lucky never do.

Soon, we pile inna Scottie's whip. When we hit Central Park, Rain jets. Earlier, mentioned I liked Rain's leather jacket so as he exits, he takes it off and hands it to me. It's yours, he says. Before I can protest, he's already in a yellow going downtown.

He's a good fella, that one. I'm wearing it below.

Once home, I get a message that Pretty Jenny and some others're around the way but then onea my stories I thought ended drops me a line.

You should stop by here for a spell. It'll break your heart, NYC in the Spring.

But it's totally worth it. If only for the people and the violets in Central Park.


Music: Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day - take me to New York

Damn. I don't like men's leather jackets, but that one is really hot, probably because it gives a slim and tall look, rather than the appearance of a "broad-shouldered, macho guy who wears leather jackets."

That's part of the reason I liked it so much.

Feel bad taking it, though.

That's a pretty sexy jacket there.

Would've had an opportunity to visit NYC in the autumn for a conference, but alas, I would rather not give birth on the plane ;P

It's not the jacket! =)

Yes, that's sound logic there.

I'd love to come to New York in srping. But it looks like I'll be in New York only in autumn.

Autumn in NYC is my favorite time of year actually. Then Spring, then Winter then Summer.

Summer here is too hot and sticky. We should trade in Summer if it's cooler where you are.

You'll ring me when you're here, yes?

You can have my summer if I can spend my winter in Thailand.
And of course I will ring you up. I think you could show me the real New Yor.

I always liked Spring in NY best. Maybe. I left in Spring and never went back.

But I think I was doing NY all wrong.

I was doing NYC all wrong for years too. It's sorta like Spring in my head now that I'm seeing things more clearly.

You like the song? A pretty girlie sent it to me.

Just the kit lens that came with Syd:

Here's the thing, I was just thinking of getting a 50-300mm lens for more distance shots. I'm no pro like you but I like taking my pics more these days with the appropriate camera.

*grin* I'll have to come to NYC with the matching jacket my mom gave me and seek you out. Your friend's sweet to give you that.

I doubt that's true - you just need to find one that's cut for you.

Um, how did you fit in Rain's clothes? You losing weight?

[info]logan607

The jacket runs a bit big on him, which is part of the reason he gave it to me I think. But I also tell myself that I'm cutting weight (which is probably not true).

Are you posting more these days or is school keeping you totally busy?

Yes you do - but do it in spring or autumn. It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
