" Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard"
Baz Luhrmann's "Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen)"

I was reading through the New York Moleskin cityblog and I really liked this entry...

"I got on the train this morning and... I did something that can only be done shamelessly in a large city – I stared at people.

...I saw someone who I recognized…huge red beard, glasses and a newsboy cap. I quickly looked away, closed my eyes and began to search my brain to figure out who this person was and how I knew them. Then I placed him. We used to live in the same building two years ago. For over two years, I would regularly see him living his everyday life and we always said hello and exchanged small talk. The strange thing is, I know that he lives with his girlfriend, drives an old maroon Volvo and has a Shiba Inu dog that is blind, but at that moment, on the train I didn’t feel like I had to say hi. I adverted my eyes from his general area and didn’t feel bad about not saying hello. This is one of the things I love and hate about large city living. There is a redeeming quality about large city living in that you can be a complete prick and no one will ever really remember you, but I do miss that smaller town quality where everyone says hello and remembers your face."

This week, I went to a Knicks game, and was lucky enough to attend the MTV Woodie Awards as well, with my intern supervisors.
It's getting colder outside... and always raining lately.

I like re-listening to John mayer songs.. reminds me of high school...

"Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be
But I'll make you this guarantee

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it's obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time "

I voted for the first time on tuesday! Obama is now our president! My intern supervisor made these obama cupcakes to celebrate.


That second film I was in, let me play around on the beach with this outfit on, at 7 AM on a saturday, in the frigid wind. It was so cold, like 20 degrees.


Jacob Riis Beach at 7 AM


This was a couple weekends ago, but I helped out at New York Cares Day, and painted this mural at a public school way uptown.

Relationshipwise.. update.. I find that I'm very lucky to have people around me who love me so much, that I feel I sometimes don't deserve it.
Took a lot of beautiful photos today. I am getting tired of things that aren't necessary, like how classes feel sometimes, and interning even.
I want to spend thanksgiving with Katy in jersey! (in less than a month)
I love my family..

I realize that I'm so busy lately that I have lost two pairs of headphone in a week and don't have the time to buy new ones. Like, literally, not 15 minutes to spare to go to a drugstore and get some.
However, I like feeling this busy. A lot of the time, I like life to feel like I'm being thrown through the air hurtling towards something in the distance, and I'm not tired, but excited.
Working on a second short film now. Still working at school, interning, and staying on top of the classes.
Relationshipwise, I'm finding it interesting how things are developing. In a good way.

oh my gosh I love Amanda and Adolfo!! They are so amazing, the nicest people ever.

Amanda sent me some photos she took on the movie set that I thought were absolutely beautiful....



Other than that, classes are going well, interning, and working at school as well. I have been making a point to always focus on the tasks I have at hand, when they come around, and to keep pushing myself to try new things, and to do things that I like.

wow, I can't believe I haven't updated this since May.

This summer:
Went home for a bit.
I interned at the NY Historical Society, and GaRam and I helped out at Discovery Camp (where Emily had her first camp experience) in Houston. Oh, and I ran Student Orientation at the end of the summer with Elisa, and started class.

This fall:
I've been interning at an indie music label, and working at school as the New School Graphic Designer (the orientation coordinator job just kind of turned into that once Orientation ended).
I costarred in an indie movie. and...
also...

It should say: “Best Wishes Suzanne.” Underneath that: “We will miss you”.
