morning everyone (all two of you.)
i dont really feel like updating this, but i will anyway. not like i have anything better to do right now.
so im in san francisco finally. the ferry ride over lake michigan was good as it gave me time to clear my head and relax. michigan gave me a farewell gift in the form of a $95 speeding ticket. could have been worse, since the officer clocked me going 84 mph, and wrote the ticket for just five over. the rest of the ride home was fairly uneventful.
home was nice, even i was at times a bit bored. i saw my extended family no more than was really necessary. my grandmothers kind of bother me. ive been told my mom's mom is now a lot less crazy, but i was hesitant to make the effort to see for myself. spent a couple of days on the lake with my older brother, and got some financial stuff done for school. everything was low key.
the drive to california kinda blew. i burned up an alternator in rawlins, pretty much the definition of the middle of nowhere. cost me four hours of travel time. driving through park city and salt lake was maddening. people drive like fucking maniacs coming down the mountain, and the regular exits to i-80 west were all closed off for construction. the alternate routes were so poorly marked as to be invisible. i spent 45 frustrating minutes in twilight salt lake finding the correct exit. i hope i never have to drive through there again. stopped in elko and was soon again amazed at the way people flew down the mountian on the way to sacramento. people must not be afraid to die around here or somethiing. traffic was ok except for a couple of accidents and the 45 minute wait to get onto the bay bridge.
found my place, met one of my roommates and walked around town for a few hours. had diner with two random girls on pier 39 that ill rather thankfully never see again. it was chill, but they were both only 19 and one was amped that she was able to order a corona at the restaurant. she preceded to drink more than she needed was being loud and spilling drinks. not cool.
spent the last couple of days just walking around the city with one my roommates. shes cute, but i feel very young and inexperienced around her since shes about 7 years older than me. it just sucks because im kinda lonely and i dont know anyone here. i know im latching on to the first available thing, which i hate doing. i dont enjoy being single when im lonely and i know that realistically it has to stay this way since i start the most intense year of my life in three weeks.
anyway. random bits to take care of but i dont think im willing to get out too much today. my feet and joints are protesting all the sudden activity. if i can find a place to get a camp chair, some insense, a sweet draft cider, and maybe a copy of the boondock saints ill be happy.
