| wow...so surreal. after 5 years of calling Roosevelt Island my New York home..I am finally leaving! tonight is officially my last night here. my movers are coming in tmrrw afternoon to take my stuff and transport me to my new place in Astoria. wow...still in the middle of packing. Soooo much stuff has accumulated over 5 years. It's no joke that I've be up for at least a good few more hours gettiing everything into boxes and bags. I first came to NY literally with just 2 suitcases filled w/ clothes enough to last me 3 months - and had a friend bring in 2 boxes of personal belongings. With a plan of subletting for the summer and see how things go - I ended up going from 2 years in NY to maybe 3, extended to maybe 4 and now...5 years of living on the East Coast.
And lots of friends thought I'd be stuck on Roosevelt island for life. no more switching roommates year after year and sending out my annual emails to friends looking for new roommates to fill in the rooms. my attempts of trying to leave the Roosevelt island always failed cuz it was just easier and cheaper to keep my apt here. hahaha...even one year - my roommates had joked they would make me " I Heart Roosevelt island" t-shirts cuz I talked about how great it was living here. I was trying to convince them to move into my apt when we had exhausted all of our options of trying to live in a 3 bdrm apt in the city. too costly. *sigh*..I'll miss it here a lot. riding the tram, the nice walks along the river, the little red bus for 25cents a ride, the random people strolling along here, the really nice doormen in my building, the park and serenity of living here...and oh yes...and telling people I live on Roosevelt island and hearing people reply back.."where's that?" or "how do you get there? oh yea! that cable car thingy in the air?" or "you're the first person i kno that lives there!"..or .."i heard there are crazy people that live on the island"...hahahaha..oh...the island..oh how i'll miss you so!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

|  What a long, tired day. Unlike most ppl, I had work today (Martin Luther King Day). That was the first sucky part of waking up in the morning. Blistering cold day too...2nd sucky part. Being at work..3rd sucky part and having to go to the 2nd freelance job after Morimoto...even suckier.
The tip of the iceberg? ....Hearing news about the passing away of a friend from work. I've only known him under less than year, but I can say that he was a great guy and a lovable person. What made it more upsetting was that I haven't seen him around in awhile, and a few of us were all bringing up talks about when the next time we would all "hang out/get drinks" or see each other at the restaurant. Sara even told me that he would always say that I was his favorite Morimoto server. I thought he was just kidding around whenever he said it. I told him when my arm healed up, he should make a visit. He was supposed to drop by the restaurant this past Sunday.
Cliffy was the first person, I've known in my adult life, to pass away. It's such a strange feeling I'm not used to. Mourning as a young adult compared to as when you were a child witnessing grandparents passing away seems different. The sadness is the same though. He was young too so it is completely unexpected. We were all at a loss for words, giving each other hugs, and cried. I cried on the bus, and I cried again at home. Today was a sad day. You will be missed....may you rest in peace, Cliffy.

| is it just me or did it seem like everyone forgot about 9/11? or maybe i was in the same loop that it was noticed but not really talked about it. i took note of the day but it didn't seem like most people in general were aware of commemorating this tragic date. i know that most news channel did their memorial coverage and there was a candlelight vigil held where i live (which i couldn't attend since i was at work)...but i dunno. when the words "9/11" came out of my mouth - ppl would say..."omigosh! wow...is that today?"..ummm...duh?!? time flies. can't believe it's been 6 years!!!
other randomness..Aug/Sept/Oct babies are abundant!!! Friend's Bdays galore every week. my head is spinning. you know couples were definitely gettin busy during the holiday new year cold season. what else could explain this huge libra/virgo/scorpio boom?
this saturday, they're holding a Roosevelt Island Cat Adoption Day. I really want to adopt one! I miss my cat I had growing up. R.I.P napoleon. Most new yorkers tend to be dog lovers which is cool...but i love cats!! If i can convince my roommates to let me have one..i just might!!! check out these cuties!!! SOOO ADORABLE!!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!! I WANT ONE!!! *meow*
 Born on Roosevelt Island in July, these 2-month old kittens are healthy
and friendly, well adjusted to the company of other cats. See
individual photos (some kittens may have been adopted since this photo
was taken).
 Leila is a 3-month old female, very affectionate and playful, and very
vocal when she wants food or attention. A perfect companion for another
active cat.
 CECI -A 2-month old female kitten who loves to play. Very happy with other cats. | | |
