.yay.
Ok! Great news! I was stressed all day about coming home to a broken computer. Dusty helped me out by giving me an old power supply from one of his other computers. But when I walked into my bedroom tonight my computer was already humming away!! My dad fixed it for me. He put a new/old power supply in my computer, so it's working, at least for now. And I have the one Dusty gave me as backup.
So I got the pictures from the LA weekend onto my computer. We got home last night at like 10pm ish. Got to bed about 2am ish, and had to be up at 5:30am of course, so we could make it to work. Had about a 10 hour day, so I'm too tired to trace down the details of the trip. But here is the raw outline of what went on, I may refine it later, maybe not.
getting trashed on that long island, waiting for dusty to get out of the bathroom!
Dusty, Crystal, and Jinxx being SUPER hot!!
Jinxx and Crystal
Dusty's drunk, and his super huge package is showing in those tight pants!
Dusty and Jinxx chatting up music during the recovery time the morning after Sinister.
So drunk. The second night, after the barfight.
PIZZAAAA!!
someone can't aim
Some kids that came over. Aparantly these are LA punkers... or that's what was basically at that lame bar anyway.
Trashed and tired.
Some graves.
Johnny Ramone!
The graveyard had black swans! And they were rad! We drove up and rolled the window down and started talking to them. And they actually came over to the car. At one point I was like, "Crystal, you know once they realize we don't have food they're going to try to eat the car, right?" And just a minute later one started pecking at the window's weatherstripping and the rear view mirror!!
*peck*
Crystal's newest friend!
Near the children's grave we found this awesome one. Aparantly someone loved Halloween and their family honored that! It was the COOLEST spot of them all!!
Drunk again. The awesome dress and earrings Dusty bought me!
Love!
Met Crystal at Balboa Park at 5:00 pm on Saturday.
Drove to LA.
Drove downtown LA to pick up a key and saw a bum passed out half on the sidewalk with his legs hanging in the street.
Went to the apartment we were staying at, pretty cool place.
Went to the Ralphs right around the corner to buy alcohol and some other necessities.
The teller almost wouldn't sell Dusty the alcohol because she thought he was already drunk, when he hadn't had a sip. He was just woozy from the trip, so he was acting funny, and couldn't figure out how to slide his card right.
We go back to the apartment and drink a little and leisurely get ready for Bar Sinister.
Take a taxi to BS, already pretty wasted.
Realized that we weren't in SD anymore, and that this was a real club, with a real line to get in. But the wait wasn't bad.
Got into Sinister. Went pee. Ordered a long island while holding on to 2 $5s. But it was $11 for one!
Went potty.
Came back and Dusty had paid for my drink. I look at him, and he points to the person he was talking to and goes, "It's Christopher Hall!" (His biggest musical influence, from the Dreaming and Stabbing Westward)
End up getting trashed off of one Long Island ice tea.
Dance our ASSES off FOREVER with me, Dusty, Crystal, her friend Rachel, and Jinxx (The Dreaming's guitar player!!)
The club ends. We get on the sidewalk, and realize Dusty doesn't have the apartment key anymore!
So I try to charm my way back in. No go.
So I go to the security around back and try again. He lets me in.
Security from the front catches me and kicks me out.
Once the place was completely cleared they let me back in to look for the key. Mind you, we didn't tell Crystal he dropped it.
I eventually get on my HANDS AND KNEES on the dance floor and wade through broken glass, plastic, and random liquid/alcohol substance til my fingertips touch something metal. I FOUND IT!!! Mind you it was daaarrrkk.
Celebration.
Some douchebag outside is hitting on Rachel, saying "This is the part where the beautiful maiden gives the hero her number." WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF LINE IS THAT?!?!
We hop in a Taxi; back to the apartment!
Party. Drink more. Eventually Jinxx shows back up after eating dinner with Christopher Hall.
Jinxx proves to be a totally awesome guy. More partying.
Rachel leaves. Crystal and I get cold so we snuggle on the bed.
Dusty and Jinxx come to bed.
Four people snuggle on a queen sized bed all night. SUUUPER comfy.
We get up later, Jinxx takes off for band practice. Dusty, Crystal and I go shopping!
Dusty bought me a rad dress and an awesome pair of earrings.
Then we go to this killer store called Necromance that sells REAL human bones! Among other things. Dusty got a spider and a fly encased in glass, and some neat pens that look like seringes. Crystal bought a piece of a foot bone to make a necklace out of.
Then we go window shopping down Melrose.
Eat at an expensive diner.
Go back to Ralph's for more alcohol.
End up going out to the "Echo"
Was a TOTALLY shitty time.
It was supposed to be a punk bar, but was full of fags.
Long story short: beligerant Dusty gets into a barfight. But no one will fight back. It was sad on their parts, really.
Their security didn't even care.
We snag a Taxi home.
Some people come over, drink our alcohol, and leave. And we eventually fall asleep.
Get up on Monday and it's POURING rain. HARDCORE.
e wanted to do more shopping, but didn't really get much in.
Went to a fucking AMAZING graveyard where we saw a halloween style grave, black swans, and Johnny Ramone (or his statue anyway!)
Spent about 3 hours at Amoeba records, then went and ate CHEAP food at Tommy's Burgers. It was good, but induced instant diahreea.
Went to Rite Aid.
Bought a plunger.
And more alcohol.
Got smashed.
I passed out.
When I woke up Jinxx was on the couch with Crystal. Dusty was in bed with me.
The apartment's owner calls, and says she's on her way. So we flash clean.
And then clean some more after she gets there.
Then we go help the apartment's owner move. (She was moving out obviously.)
Unload her U-Haul (it wasn't much stuff)
Then I drivet he U-Haul through 5:00pm LA traffic to return it.
We didn't eat that day til like 7pm!
Finally got on the road after that.
Then we realized we still had the apartment key!
Pulled over and had Becky (the apartment owner) come get her key and her gate remote.
Got home around 10pm!!
AND AM SOOOOO TIIRRREEEEEEDD!!!
