Summer update
So I know I haven't been writing like I said I would during summer. I'm sorry. Writer's block. There are things I need to figure out about my life before I even attempt to write because anything I write before that will pretty much be incoherent.
See archives June 2004 through December 2004 for more thoughtful entries. HAH.
But I'll write this as an update:
I HAD THE MOST AWESOMENESS 4 days/3 nights WEEKEND AT SLO with Nishida and Shahram!
Erik and I took a road trip down south to visit Shahram at Cal Poly where we met a few of Shahram's friends including: mister fly guy Brian Nelson, the sweet and charming Kate Crosswhite, cool chick Taryn, and a pretty rad fellow fencer dood Collin.
Anyway we walked the Farmer's Market at downtown SLO during the first night, was introduced to the largest Champion Sports Shop ever, saw a man eat a balloon, and made our mark on the walls of Bubblegum Alley. Then Shahram took us line dancing at the grad, which was quite an experience! hahaha. i've never lined danced before, but i did learn quickly... i was instantaneously enlighted to the fact that I am the most hideous line-dancer on the planet! lol. my coordination is horrendous (or should i say nonexistant). as can be imagined, i got my toes stepped on quite a few times and sure enough by the end of the night, my right foot was inflammed. haha. it was great though. I'll be sure to take up some lessons before i visit again next time to show them up. :D
The next morning, Shahram, Erik and I went hiking up Bishop's Peak. It took us about an hour up and about 45 minutes down. It was quite a challenge going uphill considering the steepness at some parts of the trail and the climbing of several boulders. Pictures of the hike can be found on FACEBOOK. Later that evening, Brian joined us at Pismo Beach. Brian introduced boogey boarding to us.. which was sooooooooo much FUN! He was kind enough to invite us to his spiffy condo in Pismo and lent us his wetsuits. Neither Shahram nor I have ever put on a wetsuit before so it was hilarious when Shahram tangled himself in one! It was so funny when nishida had to hold Shahram's arms while Brian and I tried to pull the wetsuit off of shahram's legs in the opposite direction. lol. You HAD to be there. Anyway... after a whole afternoon of boogey boarding, we dined and walked on the pier of Pismo where we were lucky enough to catch the glimpse of several shooting stars of the Perseids meteor shower (we = excluding Shahram because he NEVER looks up :P ). Beautiful way to end a night, no? :) OH! and I had my first REAL CARMEL APPLE!! yummmmmmmmm. haha.. that was definitely the most spectacular day/night of the trip!
We planned for a bon fire to take place the next night so we can watch the peak of the meteor shower, but that never happened. Neither did kayaking at Morro Bay in the morning because of fog. :( booo... but we did spontaneously packed our belongings for another road trip further south to MALIBU to visit good ol' PAUL HIGNIGHT at Pepperdine U!! :) i havent' seen him ages so it was pretty sweet... AND we got to meet his lovely and adorable girlfriend Courtney who let me stay the night at her apartment. We walked the Santa Monica Promenade and ate at a sports bar/restaurant called Yankee Doodles (great food) and then watched Talladega and played battle of the sexes haha. Yep. Erik and I soo wanted a bon fire and tried to convince Shahram to drive back to Poly at 1 in the morning from Malibu.. lol that was pretty hilarious because paul even gave him a hard time. But we ended up staying the night in Malibu anyway, which was cool beans :) Anyway.. the rest is pretty much driving back to Poly the next morning, brunching, then erik and my drive back to sac.
good times. i almost didn't want to leave! we did so much and met so many new and interesting people who I wish I could have known better!! when i got back to sacramento, it felt as if i was gone for a month! *sigh* good times. :) hope i'll be able to do something like that again in the future.
