That's what I'll be on Saturday. Alone in New York City.

I'm taking the train in o spend the day in the city. My dad has to work, and my mom has no interest in coming with me, so it's just going to be me. I've decided to see Les Miserables twice that day. My tastes have really changed over the years. I used to outwardly scoff at musicals while privately coveting the classics - The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I used to only be about rock.

Then Les Miserables came into my life, and everything changed. I'm obsessed. 100% obsessed.

This is something I've thought about doing for awhile. Not the going to shows aspect, but just spending a day alone in the city, hanging out. The musical aspect came into play after I last saw Les Miserables in August. I never thought I'd see it twice in the same day, but we have Grandma and her Christmas money to thank for that.

I'm so excited, but I'm also terrified. I have no sense of direction whatsoever (except in Marco Island; I know where everything is in Marco Island, and I'm only there for 1-2 weeks a year), you see, so this could end up very badly. My phone does not have reliable GPS, as it dies very quickly if I even open the little app. My iPod only would work if I was constantly connected to WiFi. So I'm just hoping not to get totally lost.

Here's hoping it all works out.

OH! I'm also reading the unabridged version of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It's over 1,400 pages long, and I'm about halfway done. The goal is to finish it on Friday. Again, wish me luck, because it's not an easy book to get through.
