Fireworks

So much for staying in for the night. Sarah knows a guy who has rooftop access to his apartment, so Sarah, Lauren, and I, plus some people from class and a bunch of people I didn't know went over to his apartment and watched the fireworks from the roof.


Me, Lauren, Sarah on the rooftop


The fireworks were amAzing. Three sections were in the middle of the sky and three sections were behind some buildings, which looked really cool with the light bouncing off the glass. It went on for half an hour. They had some cool picture ones like dice too. Car alarms started going off and stuff.

It was a cool experience, everyone was together watching the fireworks, yet everyone was so far away. All the rooftops around us had people on them. It was like the end of The Day After Tomorrow. It's like everyone's waiting for the world to flood.

We were on a six-story building not far from Times Square. I took some video for you:

It was funny walking home. 42nd Street Station is the most ungodly giagantic station ever. There's this long tunnel crammed with people, no end in sight. Must have walked half a mile underground trying to get to the right platform. Signs above our heads say things like "Why bother?"
