Sketchbook Dump #35

Early voting, my lost sketchbook, and living everywhere

First things first, yes I am still mourning my lost sketchbook. Will she ever come home??

I want to believe I’ll find her in 5-10 years and be so tickled by all the little things inside but I’m also pretty sure it’s in a dumpster somewhere. MOVING ON! I early voted this week and as I was walking home from the polling site, strolling behind two gentleman who glanced at a Zohran poster pasted onto a construction site, the man on the right whispered, “Fucking asshole” and I was like HUH!?

I’m gonna go ahead and assume that the New Yorkers who subscribe to me would never do this but just want to say it for posterity, don’t rank Cuomo! Yikes!! To quote the man on the street, “Fucking asshole!!!!!!”

I have been traveling a lot lately for work so I’m very tired and my carbon footprint is BAD! I’ve been to Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado (tbh a little sad this doesn’t sound like a Johnny Cash song quite yet) and I’ve seen it all! A woman in a diaper outside of a Wendy’s, a man with horrible plastic surgery AND lip fillers, puppets performing emo music, plus, I met John Ritter’s widow. Simply anything is possible in this life!

Everywhere I went, I’d call my mom and be like “I want to live here” which is a really annoying personality trait of mine. I can’t be settled!!! Always imagining a different life!!!! Can you relate? I specifically felt this in Austin, particularly when a woman at the festival I was working at, who barely knew me, walked up to me and said “You really fit in here…if you wanted to move here, you could.” I’m like ok don’t make me CRY!!!

Traveling obviously means mostly being in an airport and now every time I step foot into these places I can’t stop thinking about Nathan Fielders’ latest season of The Rehearsal. I’ll never look at a pilot the same! I desperately want to ask all of them if they’ve watched it, and if they haven’t, I want to tell them they should. Of course I do none of these things, but believe me, I’m thinking about it.

I can’t stop talking about my new tattoo, another really annoying thing I’m doing right now. But it’s so beautiful and making me so happy so everyone just has to suffer through this point in my life right now!

I famously have soooo many stomach problems and so does my mom and my sisters and in theory everyone related to me. When you’re on medication for other health reasons, it seems your gut is always the one getting FUCKED? Hot tip of the summer, I’m now trying out fancy probiotics that I cannot afford! They’re called Seed and currently they’re making me nauseous! I hope it goes away because all I want to do is poop like a normal girl.

Mermaid Parade is tomorrow in Coney Island and my dance team has been preparing for it for the past 12 weeks! Come out and support The Tailshakers!! Truly this is my most favorite day in New York every year. The tits! The ass! The creativity! I live for it. The parade is from 1-2 PM, don’t miss it :) Also huge news, SKIMS sent ME money?? Is this happening to anyone else???

There’s been so much construction in Greenpoint it is like the third circle of hell, but my boyfriend got creative with it last month. After ConEd left a giant gaping hole in our street which then filled with rainwater, he was like, “Let’s put an alligator in it!” I named her Gayle and she was viral on someone else’s instagram before they filled the hole in. I want to believe ConEd didn’t take Gayle out and she’s just in there, a part of the street now…

Thank god the sun is finally back and I can stop! Feeling! Homicidal!!!! That’s it for this week folks!!! See you in Coney Island!

Thank you for reading! New posts every Friday!
