i'm writing this right now from a coffee shop in long beach called portfolio. it's kind of cool to be online and not at work. god, that was getting annoying. if having the internet was a distraction at home, imagine what a distraction it is at work! it was just too much, i wasn't getting anything done. i wish i lived closer to here again, i'd come here all the time and sign on. the atmosphere is great. i always write the best in coffeeshops.

i remember when i first started hanging out with missa. it was mostly just the two of us. i remember she expressed her interest in writing, and we decided that we would get together and write the worlds greatest play/musical/show ever. we never really got too far. but we brainstormed a lot. we went to all sorts of coffeeshops and cafes all over. it was so much fun. i think we kind of passed the point of actually writing something or completing a project and it was just an excuse for the two of us to hang out. i think that's really where became best friends. we were spending so much time together.

soon, the world of partying opened up, right about the time she was in plays with christine in college and they brought me along to their cast parties. and we kind of lost touch with our collaborative writing. i think we have plans to get back to that sometime in the near future. i remember we were talking about that recently.

this weekend was amazing. i got to party with my brother and his friends. missa and her boyfriend type person was there along with her cousin who is visiting from mexico. simon and linnell stopped by and then shortly after, they left. but linnell came back and we kicked it with everyone. it was pretty cool. linnell wants to get an apartment in september and he thinks it would be cool if i moved in, since he's leaving for the navy in february, i'd have the place to myself while he's away. i think that would be so rad. i would love to have a place of my own, but when i had my studio apartment, i kind of missed roomates. this way, i could have a roomate and have a place to myself simultaneously, sort of. it would be cool if this goes through. but i trust linnell to get the place on his own, and then really it would be just a matter of me moving in at a later time. with burning man, there would be no way of me being able to move in early september. so i'm shooting for mid-month or october sometime. that should be pretty cool.

i hung out with mikey and erik on saturday night. this one guy who i met out at the desert was having a housewarming party and we went to that. it was pretty cool. danl and bianka (who provided the food for the desert party) catered and did an amazing job. erik and bianka's boyfriend paul were spinning house all night. me and mikey got piss drunk and everyone was pretty cool. -- fuck. i can't stray from saying "pretty cool." i'm having a hard time writing. this entry is taking too long to write. -- anyway, we went to the tofu festival on sunday and had some good tofu dishes.

this morning was horrible. it was busy as fuck and i'm just glad to, once again, not be in a work-type environment. i'm headin out to san francisco this weekend, and get to workin on those walkway signs for the village. things should be good this week. i just gotta survive.

peace and love grease.
