Okay so it's the new year 2007 (yeah!) but it comes with a price of which I'm not sure has been paid up yet for. So yeah it's Wednesday January 3rd, and I've been with Zana since the 29th and it's been a blast for sure. We've had a lot of fun since I first got to California.
After the long-ass flight there, I met up with her and her friends Carly, Duncan and Ryan and they all took me to the Cheesecake Factory for Lunch/Dinner, which was incredibly delicious (and rather pricy) and made me want to explode after eating it (they have the biggest portions of food I have EVER seen).
And the next day she took me to downtown Walnut Creek and we went shopping where I bought some new jewelry like a really nice two-tone ring with a stone in the center, a silver chain to go with the gold one, and a pair of silver earrings to go too. And then I bought Zana some earrings too. And I finished that out by buying the thing I wanted most this trip: a new Ipod shuffle! (yeah me!) Then after buying a bottle of wine for her dad, we went back and celebrated his birthday at the house (where they delicious food like a blue-cheese salad, potatoes au gratin, homemade ravioli, and filet mignon-which they eat really really rare- and homemade ice cream with homemade pecan pie) and her dad really loved his presents (especially the little flying helicopter).
And so after dealing with that, the next day I met up with Matt and his friend Kamika and we went from Union Square into Chinatown to find a place to eat lunch and after going past this place called Pizza Orgasmica (why we didn't stop there I have no clue), we ended up eating at this tiny Dim Sum place out in the middle of nowhere which was surprisingly excellent (though I have no clue what any of that food was called) and then we went to Golden Gate park and fooled around there for a while before splitting up with Matt and Zana and I headed for this place called Pier 39, which is a shopping district in San Francisco. Once there I went and bought souvenirs for everyone, including some oysters with pearls inside (still in water in the can) for my mom and Aunt Diane, and we saw an interesting stage show with some Argentinians, and I had my first real San Franscisco meal which was clam chowder inside a sourdough bread bowl, and it was the shit. So after coming home on the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), we decided to freak everyone out and get really fancied up for Zana's new year's party at her friend Brittany's house, so we zoomed home and threw on fanciness, (with Zana in her prom dress) and we zoomed over to Brittany's where they were playing Battle of the Sexes, and we stayed over there for a while (and there was the HOTTEST guy there! Don't forget: Sport-playing tan guy with dark eyes) And we toasted New Years there and made a lot of noise as Costella Washington (Zana) and Toni Sinclaire (myself) made ourselves known through the circles. And yeah that was cool.
So afterwards, we jumped in the van the following day and drove six hours north to end up here in Ashland Oregon, which is where I'm writing this blog from right now. And the first night we just kinda got in and decided to stay inside, (after Zana stopped at this place called In and Out which has the BEST FUCKING hamburgers known to man. She wasn't KIDDING, and that guy in drive thru was really nice and kinda hot too.)
So yesterday I went with Zana's friend and roommate Marina and we tried to tour downtown Ashland on our way to go eat some Mexican food at Pipon's. Zana joined us before we got there and we ate at this place that had some very interesting dishes that I had never seen before (including a complete seafood burrito that's pretty big, although he told me I couldn't eat it and two tacos, but I did eat it and one!) and after that we went to the organic grocery store and I bought food in preparation for dinner tonight, and we went home and binged on complete junk for the afternoon (teeheheh) before at 6, Zana's friends Julie and Andrea showed up randomly and we decided to barrel out the door over to The Black Sheep, which is this British Pub (like seriously British) which is where I had my first Shepard's Pie, (which was actually really good.) And then we randomly decide, "hey let's go to the nude spa!" And so everyone does, we come back here and start singing Disney tunes with Zana's friend Sofie, and then we pile in the car (myself armed with just a towel) and head over to the nude spa on the outskirts of town right next to the highway. At first I was a little like whoa at the concept of getting naked in front of all these girls and Zana, but after it happened, I was like whatever, and before I know what's going on, I'm sitting completely nude in a steaming hot springs with all these random people with the moonlight overtop of us. It was pretty cool and I met some pretty cool people there, too. So in a nutshell that's been my vacation since I left the East Coast and I've still got today, tomorrow and Friday to look forward to. So yeah, it's been fun. I've really enjoyed it.
But now the flipside: Kirsten Bischoff STILL has not gotten back to me about that check and I sent that shit off like two weeks ago and tomorrow's the day to register for classes (which I STILL can't do) so I don't know what I'm going to do. We'll have to see.
