OMGZ NEVA EVA DRIVING AGAIN
I just spent OVER AN HOUR trying to find parking in this town. I started in my neighborhood, went down to Tribeca, then toward City Hall, then toward South St. Seaport, then Chinatown, then I said, fuck this, I am going to go to over the goddamn Manhattan Bridge to DUMBO, went there, then went to BK Heights, and then was heading toward Boerum and realized what a horrible decision that was and then turned around, went over the BROOKLYN Bridge and then went back through Chinatown and Tribeca and then contemplated paying for a parking garage which would’ve easily been $50 but decided I rather spend my $50 on anything else other than parking (pants, eggs, crack, not in that order) and then I ended up a block away from my apartment in a “Monday” spot, so I have to move it tomorrow morning before “street cleaning” happens and do this all over again. OH GOD. THE. ABSOLUTE. WORST. I have no idea how people have cars in this city, but holy crap I wanted to die. Apparently Chris and Roz spend hours moving their car each week. And everyone knows the goddamn city does not clean the streets so alternate side parking is a joke, plus half the fire hydrants are dead and yet we still can’t park in front of them. Seriously, I almost started crying it was so awful. Let me tell you, the streets are lousy with douche right now. Turns out there is a UN General Assembly plus the San Gennaro festival but that doesn’t really explain why Brooklyn parking situation got me by the short and curlies. But anyway, hello. I am back. The wedding was awesome, congratulations to John and Karina, they are among my favorite people on this planet, I mean that. Actually the wedding sucked, I mean, people were crying everywhere and it wasn’t at Burger King. The BrainPOP Jr. team made an animated biopic of them and it totally blew everyone’s minds and made Karina cry. That was the point, to make her cry. I’m apparently good at it, for what it’s worth. In a related note, I woke up this morning with the worst hangover I’ve ever had in my life. OK maybe not my life, but definitely top five. My brain felt like a dehydrated apple ring. Spongy and moist yet dry and chewy.
nice! i’m pretty ripped right now. hopefully my brain is also dried fruit in the morning.
you just stole my NY parking story. You keep sucking, though not us much as Montreal. Just kidding.
get those little smart car and park on the walkway.
wait so were there dolphins and other wild life and stuffs??
Annietown Weekend Recap:
Legendary daredevil and awesome wedding guest Annie Choi, who has long been famous for performing thrilling, death-defying internets stunts, and befriending dolphins bravely defied common sense and attempted to find street parking in Manhattan with top 5 wickedist hangover.
I have a car and I live in Queens and it is totally easy to park. Next time, leave it in Astoria and subway it back!
Please tell us more about the dolphins.
Ramon: I’m going to guess it feels like a Craisin.
Pedro: Life keeps sucking, man. Even when it is good, it kind of sucks.
Fly: I see people with Smart cars and they are also looking for parking. The sidewalks here are like three inches wide.
Wierdo: NO DOLPHINS!!!! I got ROBBED!!!!!!! I think Karina just told me that to lure me out there. Bastard, I hate her guts.
Jon: Found parking this morning. I am in a THURSDAY SPOT SO I CAN WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN HOLY MOTHER OF SHIT.
Aaron: I was gonna do it in BK since I live closer to all that but BK sucks royally and next time I will just have you park it. I am done playing valet. TAG YOU’RE IT!
In the interest of public safety you probably shouldn’t be driving at all. You are female AND Asian which means you are always just a cell phone call away from achieving the triple crown of vehicular terror!
Steve: 1) The Sofias worked out AWESOME and everyone enjoyed them. What I learned is that people like wedding ceremonies better if they get to drink while watching. Very good. 2) I was totally fucking texting and calling while I was looking for parking, breaking every law ever.
Annie: Great Posts: Even when life sucks they’re alive, they’re full of stuff, humor, misspellings and truth. As cheesy as that sounds, its true. There is truth there. They’re filled with this is me, this is what i think, this is what i see, this is what I’m doing. Tanks fo keep’n Annietown for-realz….& remember to move yo damn car on Thursday.
can you do like a live broadcast of your searching for parking on thursday? You even could do a reality about that, tiny Asian moving cars in NYC, you could get money for that.

you should park like at the endo of the clip)
You always lose the better oportunities to get cash monies.
wtf was that clip (apart of the parking thing at the end). lol.
could you get a vespa?
oh yeah, vespa is a great idea…except if it is for me, i have balancing problem, so, it won’t suit me.
that IS def a problem. hm. maybe get an electric tricycle of some sort?
WAIT. STOP.
did you hear that? that great name for a band???
“electric tricycle”.
so v groovy.
holy shiz..I totally missed the “BrainPOP Jr”. refer in this post. a.k.a “Her name is Annie and looks like me (Annie) and is a Smarty McSmartypants like me (Annie).” Dude, that biopic musta rocked. I bet you made Karina cry cuz your fitted dress was more pimp than hers. Move your car.
Wow. I knew the price of eggs had really gone up, but the price of crack in NY is outragous. It’s so much cheaper in the middle states. That and you can park overnight in a garage for like a dollar. Well, not really a dollar, but close.
Dudes, I am so not getting a Vespa, are you mad? I’d get killed. I can barely ride a bike. I get hurt walking down my stairs. It’s just not a pretty scene. Like I can stand on my hands but the second I have to rely on some piece of hardware I am trouble.
Lynsey: Yeah you can’t get anything for a dollar in NYC. Maybe a banana.
