This is how I feel today.

The cutest thing ever.
A few hours ago, I left my friend's apartment.
As I step off their stoop a tiny little boy points at me and yells
"There's the lady!"
At that time, about fifteen kids, probably ranging from 5-11 start running towards me and follow me down the street singing some song about lollipops (seriously now)
The get into a single file line.
Everyone on the street is staring at me, because I'm apparently the band leader.
And I'm dying laughing and I start to run
and they chase me down the street giggling and singing
and I loop back around, and get my friends to come out and see
And they do.
They see the kids bum rush me again
And I run with them down the street
racing them to the corner where I say
"Bye Guys!"
and they all say
"Bye Lady!"

Women's Hygiene: Aisle Five

Honestly I really like my new neighborhood.
I do.
I do.
I'm a creature of habit and expected this transition to be a slow and painful one but surprisingly enough, that hasn't been so.
My friends have all basically been living/moved here.
My apartment is beautiful.
And up until now anything I've needed or wanted has been at most, a five minute's walk away.
Till just now.
When I walked in my pajamas, with no makeup, in broken flip flops, in the rain, to the grocery store to buy:
tampons.
One grocery store
Three dollar stores
and probably over six bodegas later
apparently no one in the whole of Bushwick has ever heard of these.
Fuck.
