Is there such a thing as too much fun?
I went on vacation and it was FUN. I flew out Wednesday night got in to Long Beach Ca at about 10pm then crashed. I was sleeping on a rather uncomfortable futon but after padding it with blankets it was just fine. My friend Kat had to work Thurday and Friday so I was left to my own devices those days.
Thursday: I walked up to the Pike which is about a mile from her apartment and ate some lunch and took in the sights. I had been there before so I already knew my way around. Gave my Cali boy a call to see when he would be over to see me. He lives in Bakersfield but two days out the week works down in L.A. Made plans to see him while we were both in town. When I got back from the Pike I went over to Rite Aid to get some toiletries. Its easier to hit the dollar store than to try and pack all the liquids and gels you need in your life and get them on a plane. Chatted with some I met while walking past the bus stop then I headed home. Kat and I went to see Get Smart when she got off work. Movie was hilarious. I had to over the fact that it cost 9.50 for a movie in Cali.
Friday: Met my long time net buddy Christian face to face for the first time. We started talking about 5 years ago when he had just moved to the states from Chile and I helped him with his English. He was still in High School when we started to talking and now he sports a beard and is in college. we went to a tennis match. It was fun hanging out with Christian and his friend Carlo but the tennis was pretty boring. After that Christian and I went to a Chilean delicatessen. We had empenadas and Chilean soda which tasted great but like nothing I have ever had before. He dropped me off at home and Bobby came over to see me. I haven't seen him in like a year and a half. Bobby and I have "history" to say the least and have been screwing around for like 6 or 7 years. One of those relationships where no matter how long it's been we can't keep our hands off each other. I love him and he loves me but we can't seem to get it together. So we "get to know each other again" and about 10 minutes afterward Kat walks in the door. Now Kat and I have been friends for like 10 years so she knew exactly what happened and simply asked "do I need to wash my sheets or anything?" We had made plans to go to a club and get schwasted but decided to drink at home that way no one had to be "Designated Dave" or get a cab home. We purchased a bottle of Patron silver, two cases of beer and 3 pizzas and make a night of it. Bobby and Kat got so drunk that they passed out. At some point Kat tried to pick Bobby up and I think dropped him. I only saw the aftermath of her rubbing the side of her head and him holding a cold beer to his crotch. Then Kat lost her pants and passed at on the couch. Then she vomited on the couch. She cleans up her mess then goes and passes out on her bed. Bobby and I pass out on the futon after apparently having some drunken passion that I don't remember too well. We were all very hung over the next day. Bobby had to drive back to Bakersfield. We said our goodbyes and made the usual promises of visiting more often.
Saturday: Kat and I went to Universal studios! It was AWESOME! It was also very very crowded. Went on the studio tour which is not all its cracked up to be. It's long a pretty boring most of the time. The cool parts are when jaws pops out the water and when they drive you into a set and it looks like you're in a subway when an earthquake is happening. Actually all the special effects stuff was really cool the tour guide stuff wasn't. Then we went on the Mummy ride which was AWESOME. It goes forwards and backwards. We went on Shrek and the Simpson's ride. Bought some high priced theme park food and we were done. Then we went through the City Walk which is like an outdoor mall outside of the park. They had this really cool Stilt Circus. People on stilts telling a story. It was awesome. I had a lot of fun. We got on the train to come back to Long Beach and these ridiculous girls on the train kept instigating this really drunk guy who was about 20 years old to fight people. They told him this little old guy stole his bag of weed. The 20 year old actually fought this little old guy and go his ass KICKED!! The police then get on the train. The girls were trying to keep the 20 year old on the train cause he kept promising to get the alcohol. The cops started arresting the little old guy too. Kat and I got off the train and told the cops what had actually happened and the let the old guy go. He didn't press charges on the 20 year old so they let him go too. We get back on the train and this crazy guy with a boom box sits right next to me blaring his mary j blige cd. I will never ride the train in L.A. again.
Sunday: We went to IHOP and it was great cause I love IHOP. Then I flew Homes.
