As you already know I went and saw Jimmy Fallon. I know, shut up already. But before I actually got into the show I had quite the adventure. First off, I couldn't take my backpack into the studio because it stated so on my ticket but I forgot until I was at 30 Rock. I only brought a backpack because I was spending the night at my friend Liz's in Long Island after the show. I was frantic. I asked one employee in the NBC Experience store if he knew of any lockers where I could store my backpack for a while. His only suggestion was that I rent a hotel room for a few hours so I could keep it there... Funny thing is that he genuinely thought his suggestion was a great one. I on the other hand didn't like his suggestion so much. I asked an employee of 30 Rock and she said they didn't have lockers anymore because of 9/11. So the only place I could think of that would possibly let me keep my backpack there was the temple. Luckily, it was only a mile walk from where I was, so I headed there.
The front desk employee, Paz (I'm pretty sure that was his name) was quite the friendly, funny, older gentleman. I mean he was a temple worker so what else could I expect? I explained my situation to him and asked if I could keep my things in a storage closet for a few hours until the show was over. He joked that it would cost me $5 for 2 hours and it was a cash only kinda deal. I laughed and said, "Well shoot! I've got my dad's card... It's gold! So that's gotta be worth something, right?" He laughed and asked about my husband's credit card.
Me: Oh I'm not married!
Paz: Oh good. How old are you?
M: 22
P: Oh! Yes! You are way too young to be married. You must go out and live. Get married when you're 25 or something. Where are you from?
M: Utah.
P: Oh yeah, you people get married so young there. Don't rush into marriage, promise me you won't rush into it!
M: Don't worry, I won't. (Also there aren't even any prospects so I'm good!)
Then Paz proceeded to inform me that the reason why I wasn't married was because I was intimidating/scary to guys because I know what I want in life (which is what exactly?). Paz was talking so much I was actually getting worried that I was going to miss Jimmy Fallon! I didn't. And Paz finally gave me the key to the storage room. So I guess I'll take it that Paz was being God's messenger telling me that I need to calm down when it comes to marriage? Noted.
After Jimmy Fallon I met up with one of my best friends from Utah who was in NYC visiting her sister. It was awesome to catch up with her in NYC of all places. THEN THIS HAPPENED. JAMES FRANCO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
I'll say it again, I LOVE NEW YORK CITY! It's a place where dreams come true. I have not had a bad experience there.
