futurebird's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 going on 7 I am a shallow person. I know this because the lights take me in. Lexington and Grand Central are covered in Christmas lights and greenery, 5th ave is bright with illuminated paper stars. I love it all. I peer into the shop windows and watch the animated displays. I look up at the sky, and I know that looking up isn’t cool. I’ll never get to be a real New Yorker if I do things like that. But, I love the sights I see far to much. Just call me the resident tourist. Last night I took my walkman and wandered around Time Square for about an hour. I just like to stand and feel 100s of people passing all around me, like people are water and some how they might lift me up so I am closer to the lights. But, this dirty old guy spoiled it for me. “Hey lemme talk to you” He said. “I’d rather not talk now.” I said. “You’re very pretty.” “No I’m not.” I thought, but I walked away so I didn’t have to listen to him any more. I guess he was just trying to be ‘nice’ in his way. I try not be rude. But some people seem to want to force you to be rude it seems! Today I’m going to ride the fair-wheel in the new Toys-R-Us in Times Square. (I told you I was shallow) I hope they don’t have an age limit! If they do I’ll throw a tempertantrum-- that’ll show ‘em how young I really am. I’m 22 going on 7. 1:23 p.m. - 2001-12-01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
