I'm not great of updating.
Not to be cliche or anything () but I think I left (some of) my heart in San Francisco.
So much wonderful stuff packed into three itty bitty days. I think it best to bullet point my favorite and most memorable parts:
Thursday:
:blackeye: Left at 6pm and it only took us 4-5 hours to get up there.
how? Well getting a SPEEDING TICKET says it all.
Didn't get into SF until 11pm.
Meet up with Timmy, dropped off clothes and headed to
Thee Parkside.
Proceeded to drink myself silly and meet new people.
Left Thee Parkside and stopped at this little place called the
Cable Car Pizza Co. and ate pizza while walking the rest of the way
home.
Friday:
Eric and I made our way up Powell St. (scary ass shit) to
Retroactive's place. Met his cat, Kat, and fell in love
with the mean lil' imp and his really kick ass digs.
Retro took us on a tour of SF. Including Twin Peaks (and the slef
cleaning bathroom that Eric fell in love with) Haight St and
breakfast at the ever lovin' Pork Store! This was across from us:
After that we checked into the San Remo, after a 30 minute
nap and completely missing kickball we headed over to the San
Remo for pre prom curry.
Okay imagine the purple spew as hot flames coming out of my
mouth. That was how hot the curry was! But lil_tuffy
and a shot of jager made it all better.
After the curry settled I started a rousing game of ping pong with
Koleeta,Jeremy,Requiem,Julianna , and a few other kids.
Sat with the apple of my eye Ryan for a while and caught up on a lot of stuff. NOTE TO SELF: VISIT PORTLAND AND STOP PUTTING IT OFF.
The night was a mixture of sadness and happiness. My best friend
got the and I for some unkown reason found .
Tired, drunk, hungry and giddy, Bean,
Sahlome, Obd, Ericallen, and I
found our way to the Cable Car Pizza Co. again and then all the way
back to the San Remo. Let me say that cabbies HATE picking up
young punks who are drunk and eating pizza, maybe for the possible
factor. I don't know.
Saturday:
Got together with, Freckle, FallfromGrace, Baka_Amerikanjin, PunkJr, my best friend and I and had breakfast on the Wharf at the American Eagle Cafe. Jinkies it was damn good and just what I was looking for! Freckle went back to the hotel to get her groove on with someone (j/k) and the rest of us walked around the pier and the wharf. To steal some of Baka's journal this is what we saw:
-A seal boner (or seal lipstick as he last commented in my journal)
-A bushman
-An owl hat
-Creepy vintage coin-op machines
-An Asshole in a mercedes
-A putz in a Jaguar
-A two story carousel
-Japanese puzzle boxes
PunkJr and I got horoscopes from an elvis machine and it told him that pearls were lucky for him. Oddly enough a few feet down on the wharf was one of those Hawaiin pearl booths. He saw it as a sign and got a pearl. It was really awesome. I'm big on "read the signs they are all around" and that HAD to be one right there.
After the wharf we walked over to Ghirardeli Square and bought chocolate and drinks and took a long and lovely break. I missed the square last year. It's nothing much but I remember a time long ago that I spent there with my marching band that was pretty wild. It was nice to see the place again.
::We headed on over to the cable car where Baka decided to follow Freckles footsteps and head back to the hotel. So the four of us trekked on for a round trip on the trolley.
At the end of the line we had lunch and then got back in line to where we ran into Dreammaker , and Timmy. On the way back I flirted with an 80 year old man who was close to dropping his fruit bag in my lap. His friend replied with, "Well if you didn't have that guy right there I would go home with you." I looked at him and replied, "I just found him, I think I'll keep him around for a while." It was cute and funny and I guess you had to be there .
After the cable car we headed back to the hotel to rest up and start changing for prom. While I was getting ready Eric and Punk decided to go get roses for their suits. When they came back I was surprised with half a dozen red roses from Punk! I probably turned as red as the roses.
We took a cab down to The Devils Lounge and had dinner at a little noodle shop across the street first. Why does everything in SF taste better than L.A? just kidding Prom was awesome, here is a pic. of punk and I from that night. There are a million more pics in the prom group if you want to see them. The rest of the night is between me and my diary.
Sunday:
Check out and packing was a blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Had breakfast at Subway and left around noon. I wish I could have stayed but both Eric and I had to work monday. I got to see the penthouse which is exactly what Maxx described it to be.... a shack on the roof. But at least you had a whole roof to party on and a private toilet and tub for that matter.
Before leaving Punk gave me the pearl he has been carrying around and started a swap tradition between us. Right now I am wearing it.
The drive back wasn't as bad as I expected, Eric slept and it was needed, I listened to Carlos Mencia on cd and laughed my ass off.
Home again home again jiggity jig.

It will take me a few days to recuperate properly (got a cold on the plane home and just slept 20 hours - ugh) and get current on the stuff here that I abandoned to go do that gig but I will enjoy catching up with you soon. Let's chat this weekend, mmmkay?
