somewhere between the Bus Stop, Noc Noc, Mad Dog in the Fog (or something to that effect), Blondie's, Butter, and Mauna Loa, I ended up across the Bay in Berkeley eating potstickers and DiGiorno cheese pizza at 2am while Mikey passed out on the couch after stuff-crushing Sour Cream 'n Onion Lay's into his inebriated cheeks...

Saturday the 7th was the Great SF Trolley Tour/Bar Hop organized by my friend John. we were all 'leied' at the door before hopping on to the fake trolley and headed for about half a dozen bars that evening...some excellent pictures came out of the evening - courtesy of my drunken photography skills with the digital camera... actually, it was more a function of the fact that I had to look through a tiny little lens and try to find the people I was focusing on in the dark-lit bars...unfortunately, the setting on the camera was incorrect so I ran out of room to take more pictures only about 1-1/2 hr into the evening, before Kerry decided to moon cars passing by on the very busy Van Ness Ave... doh!

went to my first strip club last Friday... Boys Toys on Columbus/Vallejo... was surprisingly boring - girls in bikinis climbing up and down poles, either right side up or upside down.. hmmm.. I nearly fell asleep, although I did manage to negotiate a lap dance for a friend before tending to my zzz's...it was kind of odd - going to a nudie bar with four guy friends.. I felt like a madam/female pimp the entire time...

yes, I have been lazy and not updating my blog page.. but I've been busy as well... went to Tahoe for Labor Day weekend.. learned to play craps and fell on my face while hiking at Squaw Valley...I realized that other than the occasional water and two glasses of orange juice, I was downing Red Bull concoctions and/or other alcoholic beverages most of the weekend... although, I don't remember being drunk.. just staying up really late in the casinos! also went jetskiing for the first time.. awesome awesome fun! I was so bruised up from being thrown around on the Seadoo, a friend said that I looked like someone had just beat me up! Jetskiis are helluva wedgie machines, I might add....

My car got towed on Friday night while I was out with friends. The initial shock of my missing car turned into anger, then frustration, then panic as to how am I going to get myself home? after all, I had $5 in cash and there was not a yellow cab in sight.. eventually, some wise words and helpful info from Mel and Garrett got me home safe and sound. slept for a couple of hours before I woke up to go 'rescue' my poor car from the City's tow yard before returning home for a quick 30min nap and then a softball double header that sent our team to the Championship game in two weeks. The rest of my day was a blur, drifting in and out of sleep. Frustration at the thought of being duped and disrespected the night before woke me up at intermittent times.. luckily for me, my weariness sent me back into dreamland where I didn't feel a thing for the next 12 hours.

Don't really recall much of what happened in the last two months. They sped by so quickly with so many things stuffed in between that I hardly know that they happened except for the vague 'oh yeah..!"
At first, with new friends, you have many things to talk about because you knew nothing of them before. Once that first stage passes, if you run out of things to talk about, does that mean that you weren't meant to be friends? but what if you're the quiet type - the type that only speaks out when you feel very strongly about something? would that interfere with you making friends? with my good friends, there is no such thing as silence even when no one is saying a thing. I guess that is what makes them my good friends...

Had a most excellent 24th birthday weekend. Aside from the flowing libations and the popcorn tricks, many of my good friends were able to participate in my excuse for a getogether. It is always a pleasure to spend time with my friends, but when over 25 people showed up for my little shindig, it means more to me than most anything else that could have taken place. Growing older also means growing wiser - that part never changes. Makes you realize what is really important to you vs what isn't, who are your true friends vs who just pay lip service. My wonderful parents and sister sent me the most heartwarming card with the song "Happy Birthday" spelled out in "la la la la la la's...". There were a couple of other surprises as well... those are always special...and close to the heart...

so I don't have cool thoughts like Mel's blogs.. but I did go and visit her this past weekend in Bakersfield... drive wasn't too bad... weather down there felt like a blanket of dry steam, if there's such a thing... I used all seven letters to spell f-r-a-g-i-l-e during our Scrabble game while Mel, despite being a little buzzed, spelled q-u-e-s-t on a double letter and triple word score - good thing we weren't keeping score!!! Also tried my first margarita this weekend...wasn't too bad! basketball also started this week.. 0-2 so far, but not playing too shabby for our first games back and half of the team being brand new... almost the weekend already! time is just going by... #24 coming up... hmmmm...

Happy post 4th of July!!! Went to a friend's party then to a bar nearby afterwards. Had my ass grabbed by some stupid drunk. Stared down at the bastard with a nasty dirty look... My guy friends who were with me told him to fuck off, then got the bouncer to kick out the stupid drunk... Nice to have guy friends...

I killed the snake that was in my dream... purple and yellow like the Lakers colors...
posted at 8:25 PM

been dreaming of weird things lately... snakes this time... after looking it up on a dream interpretation website, I feel somewhat better...

Snake

A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.

been a busy week this week... lots of ball playing and drinking followed afterwards... maybe it's finally catching up with my immune system??? at least I didn't get hit by errant softballs this weekend... June is almost over.. only a week left in the month.. time is going by so fast... I hope that I am making the most of it... I am doing the things that I enjoy: sports... so I guess that's a plus... although, I should start cooking more often... get myself all prepped for my 24th birthday coming up soon...

How many times can LC get hit by a ball during a 1 hour softball game?

Answer: 3 times: Twice in the head and once in the arm

so all of a sudden I feel like writing.. must've been leftover from all that letter writing I did at work today.. yes, I actually had a busy day... you know, those days when I was just logged on IM but not talking to friends except for the occasional 'hang on'?? so, if I play my cards right this weekend, I will have a softball doubleheader tomorrow, workout tomorow night, work on the resume I've been neglecting, read the Iliad that I've also been neglecting, football on Sunday, softball on Sunday, and clean the apt too.. think that's possible???

I can't seem to escape my thoughts tonight... nowhere for me to run away to hide and getaway from this awful feeling... I think that my solution is here.... just have to wait and see...

I am back in SF... long disturbing thoughts after an email I received... sometimes I think that I drive myself crazy from thinking.. don't know why I think myself crazy... drive myself batty because of a simple sentence in an email... it made me feel that 'twinge' in my heart again.. the kind of goes all the way down to my stomach and makes me feel sick too... sometimes I wish that I didn't think so much so that I don't end up feeling this way...

fog rolling in from the ocean again tonight... can hardly see the building across the courtyard... it looks really cool because I live so high up, but also makes me realize how cold it really is outside...

so the season finale of X-Files... ahhh!!! Finally!!! Scully & Mulder.. all that sexual tension over the last 7 years... did you know that David Duchovny is 40 yrs old? still hot stuff!!! hmm...hmm... yummy!!! so what happens next season? X-Files without even less Mulder is just not nearly as exciting... already this season was 'watered down' with Mulder's brief appearances...
