y-o-n-i
tonight is the first night i'll be sleeping at my new apartment by myself. sarah is staying over at paul's place, so i'm all by lonesome. i'm sure it'll be fine, especially since her dog, kenai, is here too. i'm enjoying living in echo park so far, and i'm definitely loving our place. the other night i walked with donny and jordan to the echo for part time punks, which was pretty cool because i didn't have to bother with trying to find parking afterwards. parking can be kind of a pain sometimes, even though our landlord told us there is always good parking on our street. it's only good before 7, then after that chances are you'll have to park way the hell up the street. our landlord's name is sandy martin, and if you look her up on IMDB you'll see that she's an actress and has been acting since the 70's. i guess she would probably be best known for being in napolean dynamite, in which she played napolean's grandmother. she's really cool, but also kind of intimidating! anyways, i'm pretty happy with my living situation right now. also, i'm like 5 minutes away from nicole and esther even though i have yet to see either of them :)
my cousin invited me to go to this workshop that her friend had recommended she go to tonight at the white lotus, which is right across the street from the alcove. it was supposed to be a "relationships and divinity" workshop, but when i got there it turned out that the topic of the night was going to be about "tantra". the teacher was kind of kooky, one minute he was encouraging people to try orgies...then the next minute he would start talking about eating hamburgers at disney world. not only that, but he passed around a book called "the yoni" which apparently means "vagina" in a language i can't remember. he opened it to a section that had pictures of 4 different vaginas, and had us pass it down. i think the best part was when sarah had to pass it on to this weird awkward guy who was sitting next to her. the teacher also kept referring to vaginas as "lotus flowers". he lectured for about 2 hours, and towards the end all i could do was think about how much i wanted to run across the street to the alcove and get some food. part of me was scared that he was going to have each person stand up and start talking about their vaginas. luckily, that didn't happen. it wasn't bad though, he talked about a few other interesting things. i would probably go back for a lecture on a different topic.
guess it's time to try to get some sleep now...but before i go:
light emitting wallpaper?? yes, please! i love it, but i don't think it's available right now.
