gobble gobble
my brother is in a gang.
of course, it isn't just any gang. it's a little tikes tricycle gang. a month ago his friends thought it would be fun to coast my sister's plastic tricycle down the street, and they were right. it was so much fun that all 4 of them decided to buy their own little tikes tricycles. and now they race (in the words of my illustrious brother, "for pinks") up and down the street with their knees hiked up next to their ears on these ridiculous plastic toys that aren't meant to carry anyone weighing more than 60 pounds.
it's been going on for a couple weeks now, and i'd been making fun of him relentlessly until thanksgiving evening, when my tryptophan-addled brain decided that x-triking sounded like a good idea. so me, kate, and my brother headed out with a radio flyer wagon, training wheels bicycle, and plastic tricycle (respectively) and lined up to rumble.
the plastic tricycle won, followed closely by the bicycle. i, however, wiped out on the radio flyer wagon, scraped my hands, bruised my thighs, and wounded my pride.
but it was fun. and i will probably do it again.
that was my thursday. the night before, me, farah, and kate went to our regular hookah spot, smoked too fast, and got really dizzy. it was fun though.
on friday, we had a girls' night and went to club abyss in sunnyvale. it was my first time at a nightclub, and overall it was really fun. it was just like a high school dance, with a few minor (or not so minor) differences.
instead of grouchy teachers with flashlights, there are big grouchy bouncers with flashlights. i'm not sure why they have the flashlights. i think it's just to be intimidating since they don't really do anything.
there's no limit on heinous skankitude. some girl giving a lapdance to her boyfriend hiked up her dress and showed her bare ass to the unforunate witnesses (me).
and there are some seriously ugly sexual predators. the same ugly asian guy in a sweater vest (SWEATER VEST?) kept making his way around the dance floor, trying to grind up on at least one of us as he passed. it was gross.
but overall fun.
yesterday i got an industrial piercing and my ear really hurts, but i think it was worth it. the only problem is i can't sleep on my left side unless i cup my head awkwardly so there's no pressure on my ear. but it's okay. i'm a trooper. not to mention a badass.
it was a really good break. and i didn't even do anything illegal!
