Jaden has two girlfriends here in New York

Kiki, his "#1 Girlfriend"

Aren't they cute together?  ;)

Kristen, Jules' daughter. He was finally able to find a girl his own age!

Jaden also met a girl at the beach named Sailor, and they almost kissed. 

They hula hooped on the beach together, how could it not be love at first sight?

I Missed My Flight...

...on purpose.
I didn't feel like leaving New York, so I didn't. Simple as that.
Of course, I still have stuff to deal with, like calling work and canceling various appointments. Who knows, I may even be fired from work by now!
And now I am able to fit in all those things I didn't get around to in those two weeks- Kiki and I got our nails done yesterday, I went to a barbecue at Jules' huge house, night-swimming and partying at Sam's...yup, we've done a lot and there's a lot left to do!
I also need to get ahold of best friend. Hope, call me!

Even a three-year-old can teach you something.

I didn't realize that cherries grow on trees. Strawberries don't.

Who goes to bed before ten o-clock?

I have been dubbed a shopaholic. I don't mind, either. I quite enjoy shopping, and I do perform this activity at least five out of the seven days in a week. Yes, I must be a shopaholic. But at least I don't go to bed at 9:30 on a Friday night in the summer.

I made a new friend here on Long Island! Her name is Samantha. Sam, Kiki, and I went to the flea market and "The Diner" together, two new experiences for me. It was pretty exciting. We all have plans for Sunday night. I'm super stoked.

Oh, I have also been asked to stay on Long Island the whole summer, and it would be amazing, I would in a heartbeat, BUT- I have work, I have court (stupid traffic ticket), I have a photoshoot, and I have plans to go to Portland, Sacramento, and possibly Las Vegas to visit various people. Sorry, Lon Guylanners!

There's a First for Everything

New York City was exactly what I expected, and not at all what I expected.

It was interesting.

Chinatown and Little Italy were nasty.

Central Park was pretty great, but it got old fast.

We went to the Museum of Natural History, yeah...we saw the dinosaurs in the entrance, stood in line for 15 minutes, and left.

Times Square- oh, what IS so special about a street with a bunch of buildings?!

I suppose NYC is a fun place to spend a few months, but not so

                                                       much a few hours.

Oh, but there was a good part, yes, the fun part!
Oh wait, that turned out to be later that night back at the drop zone.


Okay, so I wasn't the biggest fan of NYC, but it was still fun. Oh yes, it was fun(:

It's a Date

Dinner at Buoy One.
Long walk on the beach, watching the sunset.
Ice cream downtown, by the beautiful water.

Just a thought, why do 'content' and 'contention'
mean something so different?

I got a free t-shirt today.

A Long Island Skydiving Center t-shirt.
Guess I'm just too good looking.
Naw, I was actually bored, so I went into the office and Axel put me to work.
For payment I got a free t-shirt and some kickass cawfee (spoken like a true Lon Guylanner.)

Loves!
Micah Kamiah McGrewber

It must be really hard to predict the weather.

I did some damage to my wallet today. I'm so proud of myself.
"You made out like a bandit!" said Puka.
She's Jeremy's girlfriend. Her name is Deborah, but her last name is too brilliant to resist.

My day? Shopping. All day. First was an outlet mall, which I attended and enjoyed by my self.
Then, after I made myself the most shopping-happy I have been in a long time, Kiki invited me to go to a different mall with her and Jason. Who are Kiki and Jason? I didn't even know, but I surely made friends with them fast!
We have plans together tomorrow(:

Oh my, I also fell in love and the wedding is already planned. American Apparel is my new favorite store, and I plan on becoming a frequent flyer online when I get home. It is this crazy, 50s/90s inspired dance apparel shop. I feel like I have been looking for this store my entire life. I am now complete.

Also attending my wedding will be Dubstep- is that what it's called?- a type of music Kiki and Jason introduced me to. It is basically a bunch of perfectly choreographed noises, most likely electronic.

Beaches and Delis

Long Island doesn't have fast food-
it has delis and street food.
Long Island doesn't have 'suburb mansions'-
it has beautifully designed architecture.

New Yorkers aren't friendly and smiling when you pass on the street-
they are in a hurry, and when they are friendly they mean it.
New York isn't a place to care about fashion-
it is a place to live by fashion.

So our cultures differ. In Idaho we are comfortable but tight, but here they are rich but stressed. And there are so many people here! And so many famous people! I've already seen Tina Fey and Donald Trump!
No, not really. I'm just full of a bunch of bull(:
I haven't even been to the city yet, just Long Island.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO TO NYC!


Anywho, time to go to the beach!

I spy...

New York has houses-like, real houses.
This I did not expect.
My idea of New York?
Apartments, apartment complexes, big nice apartments,little crappy apartments-
anything but real houses.

Dialects are ridiculous here.
And they think I sound funny!
I sound normal, thank you.
At least we're not the ones with a grocery store named
King COLON.
Kinda gross, if you ask me (:

I can't wait to do me some shopping.
Oh, outlet malls, here I come.

OH,AND THE HEAT!
Me being the cold-and-rainy type I am,
I am just barely holding on to my sanity.
And this is Micah Kamiah, signing off from New York!

Mama, look what I can do!

This is best friend.

She doesn't float my boat, because that's something I would say to a random stranger.

"Hey, [insert random stranger here]- you float my boat!"

Nope.

She ROCKS my boat.

She's also really cute (oh, you noticed?)

We do some crazy stuff together.

People mistake us for twins.

She always steals my words, although I'm sure if you asked her, she'd say it's the other way around.

Her name?

Hope Lee Henscheid.

Hope[ful]Lee she's home when I come over right now to drag her to the airport.

:) So selfish, aren't I? I don't mind, she's gotta see me off!

Three ounces or less.

Suitcase packed.

Dealings dealt with.

Loose ends tied.

Entertainment for a three-year old?

Not so much.

I'm so ready for New York!

Dear June

For some, the adventure is coming to an end.
For others, it is just beginning.
Either way, we are all packing our vintage suitcases
and getting ready to say goodbye, or hello.
