3:11 p.m.friday-
after work, i headed to the gym. then i headed home. then i headed to long beach. simply put.
i met up with joy and we had a drink at club broadway before heading out to L.A. for hedwig. it was cool. hedwig was so much fun. we got there a little early. more like an hour early, and we got our tickets. we took a walk down fairfax just to look around. and there was this really cool 24 hour bakery/restaurant that was open. it kind of reminded of the soup nazi from seinfield. you know that one, "no soup for you!" anyway. it wasn't really like that. but it reminded me of it because when you order, you have to point out what you want, get a ticket, go to the other counter behind you, pay, and then go back and get what you ordered. very systematic. i guess not so nazi-like, but it was cool.
so we get back to the theater, we wait in line. and walking straight towards me is rage boy. he looks right at me and walk right by me. ::whew:: yeah, that was a sigh of relief. i just remembered why i flaked on him. every time i've seen him or been with him (the total of two times), i've been pretty drunk. i don't wanna sound mean, but it's true. other people look cuter when you're drunk. don't ask me why, but i'll probably guess it's because you're intoxicated and your sense of judgement is a little altered. it was weird because all night, he was just trying really hard to flirt with me, and i wasn't giving anything back. i feel bad. but his friend was all over me. that was kind of cool. but the both of them were a little over the top as far flamboyance goes. i never realized. but this is one of the first events i've attended sober in a really long time that involved gay people. strange. but surprisingly true.
one person who was amazingly cute, intoxicated or not, was my drummer boy. ::sigh:: i miss him so much. it was so good to see him again and to be hugged really tightly by his beautiful strong arms. they kicked ass that night! i was so happy that joy liked them! now, i have a friend that would go with me to go see them play. that was really cool. i feel bad that drummer boy's "bf" is moving back home. one of these days i'm going to find out if they were really together. or what the situation is with them. but for now, i'm just going to refer to him as his "bf." (just like that, in quotations and all.)
hedwig in L.A. was great! i liked it much better the one in LB. it wasn't too cluttered, they didn't act out EVERY scene. you were still able to enjoy the movie on the screen as well as the hilarious shout-outs. the work that the actors had put into it was unbelievably amazing. they had all their cues on mark. i was shocked. and they still had fun doing it. i definitely came home and slept like a baby. i was even falling asleep in the car ride home while joy was trying to talk to me. i felt bad, cuz we were having a good conversation. i was just so happy with the events of the evening that i was just exhausted.
saturday-
last day to register for school. i woke up late from being out late the night before. i was starving from not eating much the previous day as well. not because i'm trying to starve myself into the perfect twink body or anything, but because of no time. (which by the way, body is FAR from twink status) so i wake up to the lovely sounds of my mom screaming at me from the hallway, inviting me to breakfast with her and my cousin. first thing i'm thinking is, cool, food. mmmmmm. food. OH SHIT. noooo, school. damn. school. seriously torn between my love for free food and my need for school. i ended up changing my mind on the way to IHOP, dropping my mom and my cousin off and said i'll just have to pick them up after i register, and just get food another time.
so i head towards school. i know i have some time to kill before i really HAVE to be there. plus, aisha was going to pay for my registration for me, (because once again, i'm broke), and she wasn't ready yet. so i wasn't about to drive around until she was ready. i decided i had enough time to eat, drop my mom and cousin off, pick up aisha, and head to school to make it in time to register. i wasn't. i didn't get in. i'm not going to school this semester. end of story.
so what is one to do when they didn't get into school? go to the mall! did you know that there are new teenage mutant ninja turtle action figures!?! they are SO FUCKING RAD!! i want them! i so can't wait til i have money again. i'm going to set aside a paycheck and buy a whole shitload of toys. i've always wanted to when i was a kid! and now, i can afford it! it's just something that i've ALWAYS wanted to do before i die. and there's this "as seen on t.v." store. SO COOL! there were flowbees, chia pets, massage chairs... i was in infomercial heaven!
after playing out the mall, and suckin up our boba teas, we spontaneously headed out to venice beach. it was a short visit, but the thrift stores are really cool there. we're going to pick a shopping day and head back there and have lunch and coffee and do the whole rollerblading on the beach thing. i really like it there. i would not mind living there if i could afford it.
so i went to a burning man party to meet up with asha and allie. i got there on time because i knew they were suppose to hang out with justin and andie and figured they'd be there early. but they weren't, which was cool. cuz i just kind of wandered around like a lonely person. i've exchanged a lot of smiles with people, but that was pretty much it. i thought the environment was really cool. i've heard about these artist lofts, but i've never really got to see one in person. the place was amazing. the people were amazing. a lot of cute kids there. i couldn't believe how great the night turned out.
it started off a little hopeless. i was getting tired and bored. the music was cool at first, and then came the presentation and readings. the readings were cool and so was the dvd. but when the Q&A started, i got a little bored. it was all stuff i didn't really know. but i guess if i paid more attention, i'd probably understand what was going on. but i guess you can say i'm started to develop a slight case of ADD. i hope not. but it definitely has to do with my involvement with a certain "friend" in the past. but i ended up seeing allie and asha across the crowd by the front entrance. cool! at least, i know people now. i snuck around the back and went out the door to meet them up front. but, they were gone! oh no. oh well. i might as well smoke yet another cigarrette. maybe they'll come back, maybe they left. finally, after 20 minutes or so of waiting, watching people pass by and smile, they show up. it was cool. i met justin who is a really cool guy. we went to theory labs, this artists loft that was once a warehouse that was turned into a fucking rad party pad. i ended up meeting andie later that night, she was an equally, if not greater, cool person. a lot of great people that night. the tribal fire dancers were intense. the dancing with the drums just created this hold over me. sex and war, passion and beats. it was definitely emotional and amazing to watch. after hangin around for a little bit, and dancing a good while, i was so tired. i left. i got home. and i crashed. once again, fully satisfied.
i'm amazed that these past two nights, i went to bed satsified. although i've had a couple beers, i didn't get drunk. i didn't have sex. yet, i was fulfilled with experience. it is possible to have fun without meaningless sex and intoxication. there just may be hope for me yet.
