New Memories // Open

It had been a long day, but Quinn had promised to show up, so she would. She honestly hadn´t been ice skating in quite a while, a couple of years probably. The ice rinks had been right there, but it had never really drawn her there. Back when she had still been a child, her parents had taken her, with her mother watching from the side while her father had been on the ice with her, Quinn clutching his hand and smiling up at him.

Those days were long gone, however, and the memories tainted with what had happened between her parents and her. So maybe it was time to make some new memories, which was probably the reason why she was here. Oh and also because she was looking forward to some hot chocolate afterwards. She didn´t get out of the house much, with play rehearsals half the year, and really she spent too much time preparing for lessons. So maybe getting out once in a while was nice. And not having to be dragged was quite nice either.

Quinn checked her watch, before drawing her scarf a little tighter around herself as she waited for the other to arrive.

I’ll have to take your word for it, I can’t remember if I ever saw Long Island after snow. But if it’s anything like it’s back in Tennessee I get why you’re saying it. Nah, the only thing that seems to kinda cause troubles is when the city gets hit by a snowmageddon. Even then people find ways to go to work and carry on with daily life. Yes! Alright, we can make a day out of it. Maybe some others wanna come with too. That be cool.

I´ve never been to Tennessee, but I assume it´s similar to Long Island, where people don´t immediately trample everything, like they do here in the city. Surely sounds like a plan, if you get more people let me know. I`m free most days after five, and on the weekends.

I love New York this time of year, especially the parks. Still, it’s not as beautiful as it is at home but it’s close. All the colors of the leaves never stop to amaze me and get those creative juices flowing. I can’t wait for the first snow and for all the shops to get their Christmas displays up. Might even go ice skating in the park or Rockefeller Center later in the season, if anyone wants to join hmu.

I can´t wait for snow either. Especially back on Long Island everything is beautiful. I don´t go there very often anymore, but it brings back childhood memories. Besides, in New York snow isn´t the cause for chaos for some reason, people seem to navigate just fine. I´d be up for ice skating!

So you get me, Quinn. She is practically a star and I couldn’t be prouder of her but…people compare and it’s just…frustrating. I am, I wish people would notice that. I’ll text you and see you next Friday.

I guess that´s just something you´ll eventually have to get over. I know it´s not easy, but one day it´ll click and you´ll realize you´re worth just as much.

Please do, I can´t wait!

Nice to meet you as well! Can I ask what brings you to Tumblr? That seems to be the question of the hour around here so now I’m curious.

My students told me that I needed a tumblr to be cool. So I went and had a look at it. I don´t quite get why being on here makes you cool, but I´ve found some nice things on here ( art, literature and aesthetically pleasing pictures ) so I´ve decided to stick around for a bit.

How about you?

Tell me about it. If you’d asked me a few years ago if I’d go for an ice cream shop that serves ‘cereal milk’ flavored dishes or a musical with a modern twist on an old Greek myth, I probably would’ve laughed and thought it was ridiculous. But behold, the power of intrigue and recommendations. New York is just such a creative hub. I know I’ll never get tired of being here.

I’m Rachel, by the way!

Absolutely! I saw Lightning Thief when it was still Off Broadway and absolutely adored it. It was such a fresh take at everything! I´ve always loved New York, and while it´s not perfect it´s home.

I´m Quinn, nice to meet you!

I’d like to think that these little ‘upsets’ in the universe make for new opportunities… even if they’re just the odd day off and a chance to have brunch like a normal person on the weekend.

You had me at desserts! (And waffles too, of course.) Thank you so much for the recommendation. I’ve lived in this city my whole life but I swear, there’s always something new cropping around here to visit and/or try.

Absolutely. There´s new possibilities everywhere, sometimes we just need a little help discovering them!

That´s the beauty of New York, if you ignore the trash on the sidewalks. There´s always something new to discover. Which goes for pretty everything here, Broadway shows, shops and restaurants.

Fellow Tumblr users, I am in the midst of a dilemma. It’s Saturday morning and a rare one at that, given that by this time of day I’m usually already halfway on my way to the The Flea for a day of inventorying props, searching for sheet music, and doing coffee runs. But my walk to the subway station was interrupted by a call saying that no help was needed this morning and I could have the day off. This never happens! Now I have an entire day’s worth of time at my disposal. So the real question remains - do I head back home to hibernate or find the nearest waffle house to celebrate?

(Suggestions for waffle-related restaurants that are vegetarian friendly are welcome!)

Well I´d say go out and celebrate! You can hide inside any time, or at least once the sun sets and there´s not much to do outside other than freeze! Who knows what else the day has in store for you? Probably something big if this is a rare occurrence!

As for recommendations there´s BLOSSOM down on 9th Avenue. I love going there from time to time. They make amazing waffles and all kind of desserts!

I know. It’s also hard when people keep comparing me with my sister though. Oh that’d be lovely! Maybe you can come see me this Friday? We can go grab some drinks later.

Ah well, I do have a sister I was compared to, as well. So I know he feeling, but I´m sure you´re unique in your own way! Absolutely! Text me the address and I´ll be there!

I did. I actually perform on Friday nights, but still…I just feel it’s not good enough. Though I do some covers. I just need courage to show my work to the audience I guess.
