After much debate (Target? No. Manhattan? I'd love to, but no. Coney Island? No.), I've decided to discover and shop downtown Brooklyn. I'm going to find that Brooklyn shirt/sweatshirt...I forgot what store Victor said they were. Oh well. I need to get some earrings, my nails done (I might actually go to Spanish Harlem for that), and a purse.
choppastylegirl: But they're all russian
choppastylegirl: I'm going to borough hall today

theworldalmanac: i was always jealous of people w/ trucks who'd park in the schweggman's parking lot
choppastylegirl: I remember Burger King in Chalmette was the black part and my momtold me not to go there specifically

choppastylegirl: Only if I went with family did we have a truck
choppastylegirl: Hahaha exactly
theworldalmanac: i was great at getting shit that fell on the ground
choppastylegirl: And people be sitting on lawn chairs in their truck beds
choppastylegirl: That's funny
theworldalmanac: since i'm so short i coudln't catch much
theworldalmanac: so i'd just scramble on the ground by the float
choppastylegirl: Hahaha
theworldalmanac: knocking ppl down taking shit
theworldalmanac: isn't that nuts
choppastylegirl: The lawn chairs?

choppastylegirl: I remember one year we went to Lee's Circle for the Zulu parade
theworldalmanac: the next day is like a hangover
theworldalmanac: wtf did i go through that for this for?
theworldalmanac: i never did wake up early enough to see all of zulu :-(
choppastylegirl: And people who got there early had actually linked beads together and roped their sections off
theworldalmanac: omg yeah i've seen that
choppastylegirl: And yelled at people for stepping in their section
choppastylegirl: Like they bought tickets and shit
theworldalmanac: yeah i hate ppl like that
theworldalmanac: like they own the neutral ground
choppastylegirl: It was very annoying
theworldalmanac: ft you bitch this is the street
choppastylegirl: Oh yah we were at zulu for like 4am
choppastylegirl: I'd so do it again
theworldalmanac: i used to have 2 coconuts
choppastylegirl: Exactly
theworldalmanac: bc my dad knew a guy in the parade
theworldalmanac: but i cant find them
choppastylegirl: I never caught a fucking coconut!
theworldalmanac: well neither did i
choppastylegirl: But I had one bc someone gave me one
theworldalmanac: you basically have to know someone in the parade
theworldalmanac: too hard to get
choppastylegirl: And my mom saved it from katrina...and then the fire..:(
choppastylegirl: Yep
theworldalmanac: :-(
theworldalmanac: i saved mine too
theworldalmanac: but i think i lost them in all the moving we did

theworldalmanac: lee's circle was a cool place to go though
theworldalmanac: i was there for rex a few times
choppastylegirl: Yeah it was the white part of zulu
choppastylegirl: Oh yeah and the truck parade
theworldalmanac: in fact, the mardi gras before katrina i saw mrs unger out there

choppastylegirl: Who cares about a trucks covered in astroturf
theworldalmanac: the trucks blow
choppastylegirl: -a
theworldalmanac: unless youre a kid
choppastylegirl: Hahaha
choppastylegirl: Wow
theworldalmanac: if you're a kid the trucks are the shit
choppastylegirl: Nah
choppastylegirl: I never liked them
theworldalmanac: like 200 floats
theworldalmanac: endless beads
theworldalmanac: need like 3 garbage bags
choppastylegirl: Like you have zulu and rex...and then trucks
choppastylegirl: Sucked
choppastylegirl: Hahha
choppastylegirl: To do what with them??
theworldalmanac: well
choppastylegirl: The beads
theworldalmanac: you were just more highbrow
choppastylegirl: Someone was always selling them in the quarters
theworldalmanac: not until i was older did i realize that the named parades had the "good" shit
choppastylegirl: For the tourists
theworldalmanac: hahaha i KNOW!
theworldalmanac: i would always think
theworldalmanac: what a fucking jimmy kid!
choppastylegirl: And you're going, I have three garbage bags in my attic and I got em for free!
theworldalmanac: you are buying beads for a dollar
theworldalmanac: an hour ago they were throwing them FOR FREE
theworldalmanac:
choppastylegirl: Hahaha
choppastylegirl: It was even good shit
choppastylegirl: But they made money
choppastylegirl: Bc of dumb tourists
theworldalmanac: its nuts man
theworldalmanac: i wish i had some beads now
choppastylegirl: I wonder how many locals screamed at them
theworldalmanac: because ppl buy them here
choppastylegirl: And the guy pushing the cotton candy and glow sticks
choppastylegirl: Omg
theworldalmanac: they probably just went home, got beads and sold them too
choppastylegirl: In the parish was the best
---------------------- 12:53 pm ----------------------
theworldalmanac: well we had lots of those guys pushing shopping carts
choppastylegirl: You could catch the parade TWICE if you stayed on the neutral ground
theworldalmanac: oh yeah
theworldalmanac: i always did that
choppastylegirl: Me too
theworldalmanac: its dumb not too
theworldalmanac: why stand where you can only see it once?
choppastylegirl: Exactly
choppastylegirl: We were always by lacoste though
theworldalmanac: you need to get as much cheap worthless roach-attracting shit as you can
choppastylegirl: And palmisano
theworldalmanac: yeah
choppastylegirl: Omg
theworldalmanac: in all my life i never saw a parade in STB that far down the road
theworldalmanac: depending on who i was with
choppastylegirl: They used to throw rubber dog poop
choppastylegirl: Random shit
choppastylegirl: Literally
theworldalmanac: i was always from arabi to as far down as jubilee
theworldalmanac: haha
theworldalmanac: yeah that shit was nasty
choppastylegirl: It was funny
choppastylegirl: I played with mine for like a week
choppastylegirl: My mom hated it
theworldalmanac: i think the weirdest throw i ever got
theworldalmanac: was a yoga book
theworldalmanac: before yoga was popular
choppastylegirl: Haha
choppastylegirl: Wtf
theworldalmanac: naturally i got it in a truck parade
choppastylegirl: Well
theworldalmanac: you never know what you get on the trucks
choppastylegirl: I guess I lose with my rubber turds
choppastylegirl: The weird stuff caught at mardi gras
theworldalmanac: people be throwing shit they got out their living room
choppastylegirl: Hahaha
theworldalmanac: fuck a yard sale

choppastylegirl: I hated the beauty queens yo
choppastylegirl: They never threw me shit
theworldalmanac: well it's BS

theworldalmanac: it was just one little pair
choppastylegirl: I wanted the cups!
theworldalmanac: very dull
choppastylegirl: Very
theworldalmanac: omg i loved cups
choppastylegirl: But the cups
choppastylegirl: Me too!
theworldalmanac: we'd use em
choppastylegirl: We never used glasses around that time
theworldalmanac: my grandma never bought a cup in her life so far as i know
choppastylegirl: And only threw them away when they were too chewed up
theworldalmanac: and why the fuck would you?
theworldalmanac: its free cups
choppastylegirl: Exactly
choppastylegirl: Omg this sounds so strange
theworldalmanac: i dug holes in the backyard, burried them, and played golf
choppastylegirl: Like another world
choppastylegirl: Hahahahah
theworldalmanac: cups i mean
choppastylegirl: That's AWESOME
theworldalmanac: yeah we had a spacious backyard
choppastylegirl: That's actually pretty smart
theworldalmanac: in our neighborhood (brook's and i)
theworldalmanac: the houses on the curves had bigger yards
choppastylegirl: I remember making those bead twists
choppastylegirl: For no eason
theworldalmanac: oh yeah
choppastylegirl: Reason
theworldalmanac: we all did that
choppastylegirl: Yep and poodles
theworldalmanac: i'd like to cut them up
theworldalmanac: and separate the beads
theworldalmanac: and just throw them in the cups like it was basketball
choppastylegirl: Omg
choppastylegirl: Did I tell you about the fish eyes??
theworldalmanac: i dont believe so
choppastylegirl: Omg

choppastylegirl: Bam
theworldalmanac: oh no definitely didnt do that
choppastylegirl: Oh

choppastylegirl: Evidently if you dig a fish's eyeballs out, you get these frosty-clear balls
choppastylegirl: Hard as rocks
theworldalmanac: as a pisces, i cannot test this hypothesis
choppastylegirl: And when we made that project at school, I put my fish eye collection in the bottle
theworldalmanac: this was at lacoste?

choppastylegirl: Hard as rocks
theworldalmanac: as a pisces, i cannot test this hypothesis
choppastylegirl: And when we made that project at school, I put my fish eye collection in the bottle
