perfect day
i had the greatest day yesterday, up until 12:30 am. everything that happened before then was really wonderful.
i woke up around ten and karina was making pancakes, so i got to eat pancakes for breakfast. this alone would have made my day.
then karina and i walked downtwon and looked for halloween costunes. we were not successful. (what should i be for halloween? i need ieas.) we saw a man in a wheelchair. he had a prosthetic leg sticking out from under his shirt, along with a whole bunch of under stuff. he had so many things stuffed under he shirt that he appeared from far away to be amazingly corpulent. it looked sort of funny and very sinister at the same time. we also saw a guy wearing his pants urkle-style.
then we went to the beach. we fell asleep in the sun and i found a really nifty shell.
after the beach, we went to the capitola mall to buy a dvd player, but the idiots at sears wouldn't help us. they just stood there watching tv, so we left and went to pink godzilla to get sushi. we completely pigged out on sushi, and the entire time karina kept saying, 'hey do you see that guy over there? he's really cute. he has the most beautiful blue eyes.' i couldn't see him because something was in the way.
so right as i was stuffing a huge hawaiin roll (BBQ eel, avo, cucumber, macadamia nuts) into my mouth, i heard a voice.
"hey rachel."
"hmmff benjmff!" (hi benji!)
so the beautiful blue-eyed mystery guy with the nice eyes was benji, out having sushi with his mama, who has the exact same blue eyes as he does. they're so bright that it almost hurts to look at them. he even asked me what i was doing later that night, and told me that him and his mom would be downtown, and maybe we'd run into each other. i told him that maybe we would, and that otherwise i'd call him next week. i have a blushing problem sometimes. i was blushing. i think mama saw, because she smiled really big at me. then benji and his mother rode off together on bicycles. i was smiling, karina said he was smiling, karina was smiling. it was a smiley moment. i had kind of given up on benji. now i guess i'll give it a shot.
then we went to circuit city for the dvd player. they were more helpful there, but out of the cheap one that i wanted.
later that night i went out with rose and karina. we went to the red and got hit on by pretentious artist guys, from whom we escaped and went to clouds. then we went to the catalyst. then the blue. then the evening went bad.
we ran into rose's ex-boyfriend, who she broke up with yesterday. they were talking outside, and he somehow got her purse away from her, and ran away with it. i wanted to run after him and get it, but rose said she didn't even care. she was upset and drunk.
when we finally got her home, her ex was there. he'd used her keys to get into our house, and was sitting in her room. she starting crying and said she didn't want to deal with him, and huddled in the kitchen with karina, looking really frightened, and tiny. i was so angry. if anyone ever even touched my purse without my express permission...
when i walked into rose's room, her ex, sule, was sitting hunched over on the bed, looking up at me. he looked like a rat. i looked at him and held my hand out for her purse, and he withdrew further in his hunched position. it was like dealing with an animal.
"give me rose's purse, and then leave, or i will call the police."
"You ain't..."
"i WILL call the police. i don't know you that well, and now i definitely don't like you. i have no problem at all calling the cops on you. you have five seconds."
while i counted down he tried to appeal to me. tried to say rose would be mad at me. he looked like he might cry. i had my phone in my hand, 911 already dialed, thumb on 'send'.
when i got to five he threw the purse on the bed, and left the room, and our house, but not before calling me a very bad word.
i didn't realize how bad i was shaking until i tried to floss my teeth.
