mood: cheery music: 'fight test' by the flaming lips

sweet...

it seems that i'm the type that don't get hangovers. hehe.

friday, i showed up at school with my whole beatnik ensemble, much to the happiness of some of my friends. all in all, though, my thunder was stolen by sergio, who looks pretty good as a girl. he was getting hit on by every student, and someone took his picture. he's going to be in the yearbook for sure. and it's going to be hilarious.

later that night we went to go see my friend's band, the revelators, at 'the roxy' with kristy. they played the greatest live set i've ever heard, even though that's not saying much because i haven't been to too many concerts. but seriously, they rock.

we got out at 11 and started walking the sunset strip for a while. there were a lot of 'gothy' people walking around too. i think it was a combination of a goth band playing the 'whisky-a-go-go', halloween's masked haze nearing, and the fact that it was close to midnite. eventually we stopped at a pizza place and the five of us managed to eat 1 5/8 gigantic pizzas. the girl taking our orders was very friendly, and we joked with her continously. i could tell she was of good spirits despite her bored expression behind the counter. but as we were leaving she asked us how old we were, and when we told her that we were 17, she admitted that she thought we were 14. i guess 17-year-olds aren't supposed to be happy-go-lucky?

anyway, last night the usual quartet went to sergio's house and we explored a new riff that builded up into a pseudo-song, so i felt happy we were making more progress. at about 11:30 we went to sergio's sister's party, just to say hello. we showed up in our costumes: me as a beatnik, chris as a greaser (think 'the outsiders'), sergio as a girl, and andres as sergio's boyfriend because he refused to dress up. chris forced me to drink 2 beers, because he wanted me to take advantage of the fact that he was driving that night. they were light beers so they tasted like club soda. i can't say i enjoyed them, but i managed to drink them very quickly. then somehow, we all got in a circle standing with whoever was left at the party, and they passed this gigantic jug of wine around. it was jokingly marked 'aged cat piss' on the outside. when it got to me, i put the bottom up and kept it there for long enough to merit the applause of the hosts and their computer nerd friends.

it turns out i'm a talkative drunk. we left at about 12:30 and chris drove us around a bit. sergio went home and we found kristy walking around so we picked her up. i was babbling away in the backseat until chris decided we were going to walk because he needed to conserve gas. we went around the block, and chris was taking advantage of the drunk; pushing me over every once in while. i'm fine with it though; i was laughing pretty hard too, and if i'd seen myself, i wouldn't have been able to stop my laughing. he even gave me a mental capacity test, asking me things like: 7 x 5? A-->C as B-->? the capital of california? i got them all right, except when he asked me what the capital of maryland is. give me break, the last time i had a u.s. geography test was in the 8th grade and i wasn't drunk when i took it.

moderation will grant you the world. (even though i got extremely close to having too much...)

i got home safely and full of giggles and good memories at 2am, but according to the farmers of america it was actually 1am. thank you farmers.
