Well, I have had a pretty disappointing morning. I woke up feeling like I was totally dead after last night’s revelry. It was so fun, but… yeah, I don’t feel too good today.
I miss my bus, but the part for my car that I wanted showed up. So of course I went out there this morning and tried to attach it. One end of the hose is in an easily accessible place, but the other side I can only get to with like half of one hand, and the hose will not attach. If I just had some leverage I could jam it onto the thing, but the battery is in the way. I might have to take it out to gain some leverage. I tried, but the bolts holding the battery down are stripped. I just don’t have the patience for a project of this scale today. I should have sold it when I had the chance.
Me and Christen were going to have the most productive day ever yesterday. We went to our human sexuality class, and didn’t feel like going to any of the others so we went out and Christen got her taxes done, and then we went to get me tested. I’ve been very apprehensive about the whole thing, but I have to do it. They said I had to come back on Thursday. After that, we sort of wandered around downtown on foot, stopping in at the beautiful cathedral.
Since we’re both atheists, we marveled at the architecture and then lit a candle to find a hot guy. Sure enough, a hot guy came in as we were leaving and did the holy water crossing yourself thing. “I want to do that!” Christen said, and she did the holy water crossing yourself thing. As soon as we left, we couldn’t stop laughing.
We walked up towards the AT&T Building, past the Sheraton, and as we were passing the convention center, our friend Annie that we had met at True Love rode up on her bike.
We chatted for a while and then agreed to meet later at True Love for the open mike night that they were having. Me and Christen wandered down J street, stopping at The Beat, and then at Infusion for a while. We got food there and sat in the hanging bubble chairs. We exchanged credit cards to prevent shopping, and walked down through the shady area near the Crest to the downtown mall.
We succeeded in not buying anything but Jamba Juice, and then started a long walk back to the car. After that, we picked up Annie and then went to hang out with Christen’s friend Gabe. Christen was sort of trying to set Annie and Gabe up…but I’m not sure it worked. They were like, trying to out-occult each other…it was the psychic equivalent of the classic geek exchanges “Well I was on the ‘net in 1981 on a punchcard computer.” We went and played pool (and drank) at the Doubletree Hotel, and then we went to TGI Friday’s and had appetizers, then we went back to Annie’s house and did more Ouija Board stuff. The only way the night would have been better would have been if my phone hadn’t been dead, but that was my fault, I had forgotten to charge it the night before.
I must shake off this hung over and blank mood and try my hardest to get to work. I’m going to eat and go to work then come home and try my darndest to get that stupid hose onto the thing. Also, I need to get Band-Aids…cars have sharp parts :(
It was definitely a night to remember.
Check out my downtown tag for a bit of where we went (I took these the day before yesterday).
