so here in the bay area life is really grand. summer has arrived finally and with it, drinking. it's been a while since i did some good ol fashioned drinking and it has been agreeing with me well. i even made some friends! i had been lamenting my ability to find some fortuitous females and then BAM all of a sudden they were everywhere with their foibles and feats! women rule y'all. but honestly, the event that has made my heart just open so wide is that i have been hanging out with don for about four months and i have met his friends and it has been awkward for me, and difficult and uncomfortable...mostly this is i think because i feel so out of place being somebody's girlfriend when i am normally center stage. i also didnt understand their relationship with don (prolly still dont) and i didnt understand him (much better) and i didnt realize that i have to give a little more of my self to get a little less resistance. and i dont know what happened...but it happened... and it is very beautiful and i feel like this group of people accepted me this last week and it has really expanded my brain and heart so much. yay! expansion! jupiter! everything is wonderful here and a few times i have even thought of it as home which is a relief and a surprise - a gentle, cuddly babypuppy!
so i saw iron maiden last night. here is a recap. we got to the king street house early after getting sucked out of my hippie vortex in which i even tried to be like "ummm, i need to drink this kombucha" when we were trying to get out of the door for the last 20 minutes. did i mention that sex is great. well, it is. anyway, we got burritos and beer, i convinced everyone with erika's help and once i got don on my side to all take the BART together and get the shuttle to the place and not take cars. leave your cares at home! CARS SUCK. so we took publick transport and drank on the shuttle and it was great then ran around in a parking lot while crystal yelled about walking in the opposite direction you stoners, but whatever it's not like we missed any show. oh it was all so funny being involved in these other fools lives. friends and great and important and fun. aces high was the first song. don started moshing and we all got into it. then a giant man started trying to fling him around and i had to be like "DUDE BACK OFF" to him cuz i have to stick up for my friend but it turned out he was really cool and stayed with us the whole night cuz we were the only ones in the WHOLE F'IN ARENA moshing. and by moshing i mean running around ina circle bumping into each other and screaming and singing and everyone falling on top of each other. thena lady threw beer in don's face and the giant bear mediated with them for a good 15 minutes. i swear don is the most fun person to take to a show EVER cuz he doesnt give a fuck. the volunteer security man came and said "excuse me, we've had a complaint. we would like to make a request for more gentleness." awww! so sweet! then we all fell on each other some more and then the show was over. all kinds of crazy shit involving a huge mummy, egyptians, a british redcoat costume, union jack flag, run for the hills freaking me out happened during the show. everyone kept talking about "eddie" i dont know what this is. id never really heard iron maiden before, only i yearn 4 maiden cover band. i made a new friend who is also a cancer north node, but challengingly enough with a sun in capricorn. ouch. i also told daniel that no matter what, for the rest of his life, whenever he turned around i would be there to bother him. and i told him several times that i would keep him in line forever, and i meant it. he also said that he would say harsh true things to me when the time was right. sarah threw up on the shuttle and the bart. ew!!!! but she still beat all of us home somehow. then we got high high high with chris and watch sigur ros videos and then we drove our bikes home and don almost crashed and then we passed out. the end.
