final update of the dirty south
BATON ROUGE
in baton rouge, i hardly got to hang out with heather at all, that kinda sucked. i stayed with a friend of hers named fred weaver, who is a pretty popular musician down there, kind of a local celebrity. i met some cool people, but over all it wasn't much to talk about. i was only there for about 4 days anyway.
ALBUQUERQUE
the bus ride to albuquerque was about 30 hrs. long and totally sucked ass. i was going to be staying with Jane and Stefan, although Jane wouldn't be there until the next week. stefan took me out to a couple local bars and got me wasted a few times. we went to Burt's Tiki Lounge and right next door to that was the Atomic Cantina, which has Rockabilly nights every thursday. i met quite a few greasers there who were retired skins. cool guys none the less. after the first week or so i ended up getting very sick and couldn't do much of anything but sleep. so i didn't leave the apartment much.
i did finally get Tonya's new number from Brie, and it turns out that Tonya isn't in Arizona at all and actually she's in Albuquerque! so i got to hang out with Tonya and Adam C. one night. we went to this house party that this girl Dee invited me to. it really made me miss home and all the great parties in G.R. i started to really wish i was just back home and this whole thing was pointless when i found out that Josh wasn't living at the address that i had in LV anymore. so if i got to Vegas i probably wouldn't be able to find him anyway. i will just have to see him some other time when i have more money. i told Jane about my wanting to get home and she said she might be able to sneak me as a companion on her flight back to G.R. and it would only cost me about $90! rather than taking a 4 day bus ride for over $200.
the last night i was there i ended up going over to Dee's. we just sat around and talked most of the night. she was a pretty sweet girl, despite the fact of being an ex-heroin junkie, although she is still very into doing other drugs and partying. she offered that we do some ecstasy, and i decided to try it, because it would be a new experience. so i did X for the first time. we watched 'The Secret Window' with Johnny Depp, and talked all night. i didn't sleep at all.
in the morning, Stef and Jane picked me up to go catch the plane. they were late and we ended up missing the first flight. we got on the next one out at 2.10pm. i was absolutely terrified! i have never been on a plane before and when it took off it reminded me of being on a roller coaster when i was in 3rd grade. i got over it though and really enjoyed the view over the land.
when i got home i was so very tired that i ended up sleeping for 23 hrs. i blame it on all the stress, the being up for days, and the X of course.
I'm fucking home!
now that i'm home i really want to make it a point to spend more time with my friends and the people that i love and not just drink and party all the time.
