Narrative

I WAS HANDED OFF MY NEW YORK APCH CTLR TO TWR CTLR FROM A POS ABOUT 5 MI E OF ARPT. APCH CTLR HAD EARLIER INSTRUCTED ME TO HEAD FOR MIDFIELD R DOWNWIND ENTRY FOR RWY 34. UPON CALLING; TWR CTLR RPTED 'INBOUND FOR R DOWNWIND RWY 34.' CTLR DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FIRST CALL. CALLED AGAIN AND ASKED FOR POSSIBILITY OF R BASE ENTRY FOR RWY 34. CTLR DENIED REQUEST AND INSTRUCTED R BASE ENTRY FOR RWY 29. I REPLIED THAT I WISHED TO USE RWY 34 AND WOULD LIKE A MIDFIELD DOWNWIND ENTRY FOR THAT RWY. CTLR RESPONDED BY SAYING THAT 'TFC PATTERN WORK ON RWY 29 WILL BE APPROVED.' I INDICATED THAT I WAS A FULL STOP AND NOT WANTING TOUCH-AND-GOES. CTLR DID NOT RESPOND. I CALLED 3 OF 4 TIMES AND CTLR DID NOT RESPOND. FINALLY; I ENTERED R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 34 AND RPTED MY POS AGAIN. CTLR SAID I SHOULD EXTEND DOWNWIND AND SHE WOULD CALL OUT MY BASE TURN. I COMPLIED. LATER; CTLR SAID I WAS #2 BEHIND A CHEROKEE AND SHOULD TURN BASE. I COMPLIED. ON 3/4 MI FINAL; I REQUESTED A LONG LNDG. CTLR AGAIN MISUNDERSTOOD REQUEST AND CLRED ME FOR TOUCH-AND-GO. I SAID I WAS A FULL STOP AND SHE CLRED ME TO LAND AND MAKE FIRST AVAILABLE TURN. I LANDED AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO CLR ON L SIDE; EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT NORMAL R TURN ON FIRST TXWY. I COMPLIED AND CLRED TO THE L. AFTERWARDS; THE GND CTLR REQUESTED THAT I CALL THE TWR ON LANDLINE.
