new perspectives

interesting and refreshing weekend.
friday balison spent the night (unexpected plans, amazingly worked out though) and we figured things out, and talked and everything was good.
saturday dorothy came over. it felt like i hadn't seen her in ages, which i guess was true. it was nice to re unite with an old friend. We took the bus downtown and walked around and went to stores. i got claudia the Once poster and a Bloc Party poster, and a cool present from Urban. Then we went out to dinner at Shin's. Maya was able to come. Her parents thought it would be good for her. I'm glad she came. It was like old times. We talked and tried to help figure things out. Things can be rough and its hard when you have to see someone struggle through it. Things are changing too fast. Then we went to see the school play, and it was really good. and i sat with nicolita and mando and tom. and it was nice. and we went to dorothys house and went hot tubbin. and then i was confused by random hookups and wondered what was going on.....
but it didn't really matter.

Sunday I woke up at 8:30, *SHOCK* and went to margaux's house around 10. We got in her car with a nice batch of cd's and camera equiptment. We drove to a ruined insane asylum. *please dont go there without proper equiptment* we went around outside and then climbed through a small window. *don't go unless you know what you are getting yourself into* There was horrible asbestos exposure and now it's in our lungs forever. We are really worried about it, it's super dangerous, and i'm worried about myself. It was a really amazing experience. All the rooms were really similar and they were almost like jail cells, the windows were barred up and we found chains. It was kind of depressing. It was really creepy. The ceiling was dripping, and it was very dark even though we were there so early. It was huge, and beautiful. There were huge gaping holes all over the floor, and there were some parts where we kinda had to scale the wall to get across. it was really really dangerous. When I stepped on one of the boards it started to give away and i had to step somewhere else. i dont advise going unless you have a lot of light and braveness. I almost wanted to leave at one point i got so scared, but if you don't think about it, and just think of it as being an old building then its not so bad. It was overall an incredible experience. After that we got in the car and drove.. and drove to sunshine donuts! and we stuffed ourselves. Then we drove down Los osos valley road and turned on turri road. once on turri road we took this random private drive and then turned around and went on this other private drive, it was beautiful. it was almost like a forresty swamp area. We took pictures and got banged in the face with branches. then we drove to Montana de oro. it was super cold and windy there, but the waves were really pretty. Then we drove around and went to Morro Bay and went to Taco Bell's Drive Thru.. and had a rubber band incident. Then i drove around Morro Rock and we went down Highway 1 and went up Canet Rd. and then another long dirt road and adventured and saw 237420357 cows. then we returned to our houses. it was amazing
today i picnicked with sydney. yay.
