June ~

Here I am again. I have endured some horrible things the last few months. Homeless.. fight w. bf.. accusations of things I hadn't done... him being accused of stealing our neighbor's money.. and somehow im still here, blogging, sitting at my moms house..

hes at home, his friend famous had come to visit for the weekend and i went to my moms house.

We got into alot of really physical fights where he hurt me really bad and i ws hurt even emotionally he told me im not worth it, etc.


but i am a good person although he says i'm mean or a slut.etc. or stupid.

i am working now as a house cleaner, getting up to $20/hr.

I'm trying so hard to make a plan I want to move OUT of the crappy apartment I'm in. His friends we share the bathroom ad kitchen with are sooo horrible. messy, blaming me or him for a mess that we didnt make. they don't like me and constantly try to brainwash him into believing everything they say. we think his friend stole the neighbors money, and is trying to blame me or miami. and the girlfriend sky made fun of me, while accusing me, of being the one to steal his $. I had sunburn and she says "i dont know about his girl though, she got real red, like, her ears too, ever her earrings *laugh* everything was red. and i was soooooooo annoyed. i hadnt blamed her or her man, or made fun of her, and if i did i wouldnt be yelling it out. fuck her. i hate this house.

i miss robertito...

Wow.....

Hey, I haven't blogged in a while, AS USUAL!

So, I started COLLEGE! in august, HUNTER COLLEGE!

I was riding my bike, all day, bored, when I decided to check out whats up in tompkins Sq. PARK!

When I sat down, a familiar face came up and said, "Erica?" .. I replied with, "Toasty? WHAT R U DOING HERE?!?" He said, "WHAT R U DOING HERE!?, I live here." Well, Toasty left L.I. and decided to stay in this park to live here. He went from a hole to an apartment on long island to a park in the lower east side..

I started hanging out in the park everyday before, between, and after classes.

drinking, smoking, drinking, smoking, and overall wasting time.

after every few beers, the crusties would draw up signs on cardboard and go spanging.. "spare-changing"

I don't ask for money.

But I have went with them, and kept 'em company.

I wish I had taken more pictures..

Either way, I had been hanging out in this park when a photographer rides by real fast on a skateboard.. toasty puts out his foot, and this guy falls!

then a man by the name of Legend comes by and begins to ask "why did you do that?" he said the photographer had asked permission, he was scolding him for what he did. He had muscles, he was fearless, he was scary. We became good friends.

The next day Toasty said he'd meet me at 3pm. He didn't show up, I waited until 4:15 when I got bored, nobody was around this day, it was a thursday. I went to leave the park when I saw Legend. I waved but he didn't acknowledge me. Then I figured, eh, whatever, don't say hi. He comes over like, YO! I was talking, why didn't you come over and give me a hug? I'm like, i don't know, you looked busy, i dont wanna be annoying. We go for a walk. We're standing there talking, when his friend shadow walks up. I told them I had to go to washington mutual bank, it's a few blocks up from tompkins. They said they'd escort me there. We ended up smoking an L on somebody's front steps.. Then went to the bank. Then they asked me to go to union square park.

this is where my life falls apart.

I went to this park, it was so full of people. there were people wearing headphones, and dancing.. "silent rave" they call it. I met a bunch of people. Shadow introduced me to his little brother 'red' and walked me halfway to penn station.

2 days passed and no call from shadow, he had my hoodie and i had his hat, So i ventured out to union sq. park to see whats up. I saw his brother there, and he said he was in jail. I started to hang out with his brother, and I met more people. I drank so much whiskey in that park, and smoked so much damn sticky green you don't know... so after school and between classes i'd go to union sq. and if nothings going on hit up tompkys. I was having fun everyday..

Eventually I met my boyfriend who's name is miami, and we started dating, but 2 days later (unbeknownst to me) he went to jail and 40 days later he got out. I have a problem when I get too drunk I lose my inhibitions totally.. I kissed somebody I wouldn't have in better judgement.

OOPS! Now that we are together some people in union square are making up rumors about me that I did all this crazy shit like have a threesome in tompkins sq. park ..get this.. IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT! with two people we all know. Which I did not, and other people are joking around saying, I fucked her first, no i did, when neither of them, i had sex with. that bothers me, alot. because now people think im some slut, and my boyfriend gets shit for it. and when I found out and was waiting for him to come out of jail, people told me, he is a man whore, dont date him, etc. and i didnt let that stop me, i got to know, HIM!!! And he is the best thing thats happened to me, I've had many boyfriends, many friends, many acquaintances, nobody ever ever ever treated me the way he does.

He is the only person who gives me the respect I deserve.

Next time I go to union square I might be punching some people in the face.

And other notes, I'm doing good making money, the old "buying books" and re-selling them to strand's... Oh yeah... But anyway me and Miami are doing alright.

NEWS!

Hey there! It's March 4th and I've been very successful with my workout plan! I've been jogging weight training a little, plus my normal cycling so I'm doing pretty good with that. I've also begun this project about 2 months ago making a messenger bag. The first prototype came out very nice but I had a few things to fix. The second came out better, I made some minor tweaks, and made it larger. Now the third one I'm working on the plans now. I just joined bikeforums.net and found a whole bunch of information from other cyclists and bag makers.

I'm doing very well as a DIY seamstress! & lovin' it.

I'll post some pictures of the latest things I've been working on!

WELLYWELLYWELLYWELL

I decided against staying vegan, I had my run, a good amount of time has gone by. I'm listening to a new album by a band called Rosa. Some nice person from the internet sent it to me :) Well It's Valentine's Day! I'm going on a hot date tomorrow with my boyfriend so I'm finishing up these nice jeans I made they look really nice on me, I'm excited I haven't seen my boy in 1 month. It's not THAT long but long enough to leave me in a funk for the last 3 days feeling a little lonely and missing him, I'm real excited for tomorrow. I even pcked out my clothes, hairstyle, and makeup! I barely even wear makeup lately, I've been just casually picking out what to wear on-the-spot.

Tomorrow should be good, it's nice to be with someone you love.

Alright, it's time to go. Get ready for the revolution, Obama winning the election could set that off. I'm votin for Ron Paul.

and a good movie to watch is The Invasion, and another I saw yesterday is 3:10 to Yuma. GOOD FILMS.

adios muchachos!

Well, I'm officially eating vegan! Yep, finally.
Tomorrow marks the first day of my exercise regimen, I'm going to run like Rocky did.



I have been very crafty lately, painting, making clothes.. and I'm compiling recipes I hope I'll like, and Soon I'll make them all cute and add them to my cookbook! I saw my boyfriend 2 weeks ago and we adopted a new fancy dwarf hamster, named 8-Ball. Now I have two, they don't get along though, I attempted to let them meet eachother and it ended abruptly. Blood was shed. It was awful... I'd never purposely aubject animals to that kind of stuff, so I decided they're better off in separate cages.

The signs are all around you nigga
