well new orleans was fun but kinda a bust because it's such a seafood-centric food culture, there was nothing for me to eat, and just slightly more for my parents and my brother who eat fish but keep kosher and therefore don't eat shell fish. i basically had side orders and salads all week and the rest of my family didn't even seem to notice as they were getting far too much enjoyment out of their fucking shrimp. it almost got to the point in when harry met sally where she has the fake orgasm in the restaurant, i mean the way they were carrying on about the damn shellfish was ridiculous. i don't care when people eat meat or fish in front of me, keeping kosher or being vegetarian is a personal choice and i don't care what other people do, but when theyre like making a scene in a restaurant its just like ENOUGH ALREADY! so the food issue was frustrating but new orleans itself was fun. it was good to see the family and its a neat city, but it's like las vegas; debauchery is the endgoal, means to the end, and starting point. if you're not up to your ears in alcohol, there's nothing to do. it got kind of tiring after a while, since i'm not into drinking for absolutely no reason all the time. i'll post a day by day of what we did while there later.
got home late on thursday night after a frustrating travel day of delayed flights, crying babies, lack of food choices in southern airports and smelly dogs on the plane. new years eve day, i got a haircut at a new place, happy with it. after my last haircut from carolyn in france, it could only get better haha. then i went home, helped mom cook for shabbat dinner, and then it was off to laura's to get a ride with her to jessica's party. jess always has new years eve parties and they are always insane, this year being no exception. the ex-bf was texting me annoyingly, i answered the first one, the ignored a bunch, then seeing as i was drunk, i decided it was a great idea to text him random letters and numbers. he hasnt texted me since so i am pretty happy with that decision. also at the party, i apparently was flirted with by people. it appears i don't notice when guys flirt with me, i can't differentiate between flirting and just talking. jess's advice is to just always assume everyone is flirting with you, and flirt back. i like this idea and will now be executing it. hey, how you doin'? that's right. but yeah, the party was tons of fun, from what i recall. slept over at jess's and the next morning, after we all regained the strength to stand up and get dressed, despite MEGA HANGOVERS, and went to norm's for breakfast around noon.
i love norm's. SO MUCH. cheap greasy spoon, walking distance from jessica's apt and home of the best hangover food ever: loaded hashbrowns. for like $2.50, you get hashbrowns covered in cheese, tomatoes, green onions and salsa. DELICIOUS. it was the perfect hangover food, even though i was almost dyingggg. took a note from A's book and had some seltzer. laura drove me home after we finished breakfast and cleaned jess's apartment from the party mess, and then i spent the rest of the day recuperating. and then yesterday i went to andrew, and old camp/usy friend's graduation party and saw a bunch of the old usy crew. then once i got home, i seemed to have caught a cold. i thought when i woke up feeling congested, it was just allergies, but now it's clearly more. today has been miserable. i am queen of tissues and mucus and tea. ugghhh headcolds, why can i never fully escape you, especially when im on winter break?
time for more medecine and a nap!
