"why is this happening to me?!" - "oh, oh! do we have 4 eyes?" - "I HOPE SO."
Friday was cool - they asked me to go check out/scout a location all by myself! And GOD it was gorgeous, I really hope we use it. Mark said he was kind of iffy on it but my pictures made him really like it and that I did a good job. Which was awesome. Also, is that a job too? Because I could really get into that - location scouting, just going to a bunch of cool places and taking photos and notes to send back to the studios. I had to go in yesterday, too (on a Saturday, BLAHHHHHH. Upside: meeting got out early so I got to lay on the most comfortable couch of all time, with Photoshop and the best strawberry gelato that has ever entered my mouth, so I can't really complain. I can't believe there could be a time in my life when I get paid for that.) LOL and it was fun, someone stole Lindsey's sushi stapler and left her a ransom note, so she made a "MISSING" ad for it, and made a bunch of threats about how she WILL find them and punishment will be swift and severe.
We left and I was SO tired (some adorable guy kept me up late, OH NO) but Brendan's friend was playing at some festival downtown and Lindsey wanted to check it out. I really wanted a nap but I went because she drove us, so. BUT I AM SO GLAD I WENT YOU GUYS BECAUSE IT WAS *SO* FUCKING COOL AND QUIRKY, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I'VE BEEN THAT ENTERTAINED. IT WAS A BIKE AND BEER FESTIVAL - Tour de Fat, has anyone ever been? Everyone was dressed up all crazy and ridiculous, and they had bikes made out of THE coolest shit! Like my favorite was one where the wheels were made completely out of TENNIS SHOES. And one that was backwards. And one that was super tiny. And one that had three bikes welded together and just went around in a circle. JUST ALL SORTS OF BIKES, and they had a ring for them, and people would just get in and ride around in this fenced area and wipe out or run into each other. IT WAS SO STUPIDLY ENTERTAINING AND SO UP MY ALLEY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW, I WAS *SO* PISSED I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAMERA, YOU GUYS. Seriously, I could have cried. Because the photos would have been epic. ALSO! There was this GREAT band, they didn't just play music, they were legit performers, did magic tricks and tap danced and they were all so fun and so weird, oh my god I loved it so much and I loved their music too, it reminded me of carnivals and Halloween! All of it was so artsy and fun and I just remember feeling like everyone there just loved life so much and knew what the point of it was.
THEN I DID GET A NAP. It sucked because my dog BARKS SO MUCH and I don't understand why everyone in my family STILL finds delight and intrigue in making him do it. A dog barks - HOLY FUCK, *FASCINATING*.
I went out for drinks with Molly and Mary, I never get to see them anymore and it was really nice because Mary and I fought a lot in high school but after we graduated it got better. She was super nice to me last night, so glad I was there and opening up to me a fuck ton and "I think this is something you'll really understand..." and "You're a deep person so I know you know what this is like..." etc etc. It was sweet. We ran into a few other people we went to school with, hung out with them, it was really fun. One of their friends who I didn't know, Spencer, he was so much fun, we started talking because he was making fun of one of his girl friends for leaving to go have sex, so I was all, "Why is it not okay for a woman to enjoy sex? What the FUCK, kid." All of my friends started warning him to stop and shut up because I don't go down easy lol. So we argued but it was in good spirit and when we went to go get another drink, he called me a giant so I just made fun of him for being shorter than me. He said that short people live longer, and if I ever wanted to be an assassin or a ninja, I'd be too tall for the job. "But what if I'm really flexible and stealth? I COULD PROBABLY STILL BE ONE." When we got back to the table, he started telling everyone about this conversation, "And then she said, '~I'm so flexible~, you should see how far I can spread my legs, Spencer'." And I was all, "FUCK YOU I NEVER SAID THAT!!" And then later, I was telling Molly about Matt and I was excited, I guess I kept hitting the table because Christine told me to calm down, lol, and Spencer was like, "WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN THERE." And Molly's like, "IDK, all I heard was 'he was whipping me around'--" And I was like, "SHUT. *HITS TABLE* UP! HE ALREADY THINKS I'M OVERTLY SEXUAL!" lol everyone was fun. It started to rain so we went to a different bar and THEN there was lightning like whoa and apparently some tornado warnings so we decided to bust. As we were leaving, I heard someone yell my name, so I turned around and it was Kyle and Billy - they were in my high school class and I never really got along with either of them, especially Billy. We fought like, every day in Spanish. No but they were so nice! They gave me hugs and all, and B was all, "I still remember your Spanish name!" And it was cool because they didn't HAVE to call me over, you know? They could have just let me keep walking if they took issue with me but obviously they didn't and it was really nice to talk to them. It is amazing how much people grow up after you leave.
I came home and then my mom had to go pick up my sister at a party - IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE EVER GOT DRUNK. SHE GOT HOME AND OH MY GOD IT WAS HILARIOUS, SHE WAS SO FUNNY. "WAIT, we're at our house, right?" LOL. And she was rolling on the floor laughing her ass off and yelling, "THIS IS THE BEST TIME I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!1" and then 10 minutes later she was crying hardcore because she didn't want to throw up or be hungover. The juxtaposition killed me. I was filming it and she was like, "GET YOUR NIKON OUT OF MY FACE!!! Wait, why have you been in your camera ever since I got home? Wait, your new camera, it's new so you probably just wanna use it, right. Okay. I have my Winnie the Pooh phone cover!!!1" LOL SDLFKJAS. Then she cries again and "I REGRET EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS, I WISH IT WASN'T REAL, HELP ME TAKE IT BAAAACK." LOL ASDKLJFHLJKSDFJKLHA. I DIED I DIED I DIED. And she's in the bathroom throwing up yelling at us to stop laughing and we're like, "No, honey, Cheers is on, Cheers is what's funny." And she was like, "NO IT'S NOOOOOTTTTT!! *CRIES*" She was all scared that she was legit going to die, we told her she was fine and she didn't believe us, lmao. I'm going to go downstairs now and see if she's hungover. I also want a bagel.
