Things I learned this weekend

1. New Yorkers can be nice. For instance, three strangers rushed to help me hail a cab.  I must have looked really good or really hapless.

2. Cat costumes are boring except for the tail.

3. It would be so cool to have a tail, though. 

4. Reading The Book Thief on the bus is an excellent reminder that being stuck in traffic is not the worst thing that could happen to you; Nazi Germany is.

5. Adults have bartenders at their house parties. Bartenders!

6. When I drink vodka, I try to set my gay friends up with straight guys.

7. I also steal ribbons from a Halloween decoration to make a collar so that my costume is more "authentic".

8. Referees are life-ruiners. They ruin people's lives.

9. Every once in a while, I listen to Radiohead for 4 hours and pretend to be introspective. 

10. Exit Music (For a Film) is one of the best songs ever made. I have emotional and physical responses whenever I hear it.
