First: a welcome back dance party in my old apartment! A hopping, flailing, spazzing, pop-and-locking dance party. :)
 | Spending the afternoon eating and catching up with my best lovelies, friends since freshman year. Regrettably, Katie is missing from the photo. Along with Margaux. WOMP. |
Spent the day with this redhead wandering & being silly in Central Park & the Museum of Natural History. We stomped through snow slush & made voices/sounds/noises for skeletons, ending the day at Shake Shack. Woo!
My lovely hosts! We all made Valentine's dinner: bruschetta chicken by Alex, sauteed vegetables by Bobby, and funfetti cookies by me! My dish was easily the best... |  |
The blue skies & snow of the Bronx.
 | Homemade dinner with high school besties! Menu: Tilapia fillets cooked in a lemon, butter, caper sauce; cauliflower sauteed in sugar & butter; home baked bread; french l'onion soup; baked potatoes; chocolate tarts with freshly whipped cream & raspberries. AWESOME. |
When the weather was gorgeous, Alex and I went on city adventures!
A visit to Webster Hall for dancing!
Lovely people, lovely times. & an ADORABLE dog.
Bananagrams: the ultimate game of letters, addiction and procrastination. I lost count of how many games I played during my stay... It is likely an ungodly number. BUT SO MUCH FUN. |  |
Hidden messages in the Strand & a mural of clowns in SoHo.
 | Last night in the Bronx: a concert at my old college haunt Rodrigue's Coffee House, featuring Penrose and TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb! Followed by an after party of dancing & Das Ding! |
Ended my trip in beautiful Astoria, Queens, staying with Andrew & my best pal Steve. A robot wandering the sidewalk wished me safe travels.
And after all that, I decided to move back to New York. It's funny, because during my last months as a senior, and even a few months post-grad, I was so strongly opposed to the idea of living there after college, wishing to discover a new niche for myself in the world. But I've missed NY more that I thought I would during our year of separation. So I'm moving back. Not permanently, because I still want to live in so many different cities (Chiang Mai, Thailand, Austin, TX, etc.) but for now, NY, I have my eyes set on you. And I'll see you in May.
