Since I had time to kill, and since Jordan wanted me to get him some frogskin sunnies, I went to Hot Rod. It was the best Hot Rod day EVER! I stayed for like over two hours, got Big Chill frozen yogurt (red velvet, sooooo amazing!!!!), filmed their latest commercial for the new shoes that came in (with jokes about the south of France because as Cam had been showing Brice all his pics from his Eurotrip, i was making fun of him for him thinking Eurotrash girls were hot, and about how he kept saying 'hot chick, glass of vino."
After HR, i went home, packed up my stuff and headed down (or should I say "over," so Leigh and I stop confusing North and East), to Dave's. It was Venice First Fridays and both Allen and William had invited me to go with them, but Leigh and I were already going and had plans to find my hot aviator nation crush, so obvi we didn't want any boys around (unless of course it was Jordan, Todd, Nick or Ben). So we go to Aviator's party, saw this girl we knew and hung out with she and her friends for a bit, and then the texts from a certain dude start rolling in. Outrageously relentlessly. It was impossible to ignore them. So after we made friends with Paige, the owner, we headed over to the Brig. Dude was literally at the front of the line and let us cut in with him. But he was alone... I asked where his friends were and he pulls out his phone and types "gone" ... he had laryngitis and was talking via typing on his phone!!!!!!!!! So we go in, he continues to talk via typing, and then starts busting out outrageous dance moves when it was so so so so crowded! Like literal melbourne shuffle style... but with no actual skill. Talk about awkward. And then two guys start talking to Leigh and I and Dude literally peaces without even saying bye! We made small talk with various un-engaging boys until I received a text from Jordan saying they were outside. THANK GOD! So we ditched our free drinks and ran out to get in line with the boys and try and talk them out of going in cause it was so crowded, but Ben wanted to go in, so we went back in, literally couldnt move anywhere, and walked right back out... to the food trucks!!!!!!! The boys got Philly Cheesesteaks, the girls got Grilled Cheese Truck (mac and cheese and pulled pork grilled cheese!!!!!) It was INSANE. We gave the boys halves, I managed to squirt ketchup all over the toe of my shoe (but it was perfectly aimed on the rubber part of my converse so i was all good, and Jordan kindly got me napkins to wipe it off), and we ate our delicious food. I was sitting in between Jordan and Todd on this ledge when this hippie guy comes over and starts talking to me, telling me all about how he recently blew through all his money and doesn't have a job but he just wants to travel all over the world so he can't have a job anyways... and asks me for me for my number. "I'd prefer not to give it to you." Ballsy! For all he knew, Jordan or Todd could've been my boyfriend! Ew.
So then we all went back to Dave's (Dave by the way, went home for the weekend). We couldn't hang out upstairs because Mike was sleeping in the guest room, so we had a cuddlefest on Dave's bed until Leigh and I started falling asleep and the boys went home.
Woke up at 8. Didn't sleep as well as last time at Dave's! Leigh and i ate oatmeal, she went to work and I did homework. When she got back we went to Whole Foods for lunch, came home and were back to work until dinner time. We went to our new favorite restaurant. I think it was called Gjelina??? or something weird like that, but it was BEAUTIFUL (exposed brick and ductwork and very industrial chic) and everyone who worked there was soooo nice and wonderful! We had amazing pizza and the water convinced us to get butterscotch pudding for dessert (butterscotch pudding? so not something i would EVER get... so we got straw/rhubarb crumble too just in case), but the pudding was AMAZING!!! After dinner we're walking down Abbott Kinney, I'm talking to Jordan on the phone and before i know it we're being led into a bar by some boys that had started talking to Leigh. Leigh wanted to talk to this guy cause he was assistant director to some big movie (but i don't remember what) so of course I get stuck talking to his friend, who starts telling me how he has his own business that had something to do with video games... ughhh... and telling me that if Leigh and I wanted to get high they had some weed. Ew! So i was basically DYING, and was kind of freaked out by the shockingly dark circles around his entire eyes, but then we started talking about skateboarding and architecture and it was much better. We got outta there as soon as possible, went home and went to sleep.
Woke up this morning, ate oatmeal, basically finished all my projects (!!!!!!!) while Leigh was at work, and managed to log two hours of tanning! Although it wasn't really tanning because as we all know, the sun never shines in Venice. Literally. It can be the hottest brightest sunniest day EVER east of the 405, but as soon as you go west, the haze rolls in. But i love haze in LA so it doesnt bother me too much. When Leigh returned home from work, we headed out on "the open road" on our beach cruisers. FYI the open road is the marina del ray bike path that leads directly to pinkberry. Although we didn't go to pinkberry, we got salads for lunch instead from Mendocino something. The whole afternoon I felt like I was floating around in a haze, because of the haze, and also because i was so tired. We went home and decided to just go home. It felt sooooo much like a sunday afternoon at the cottage, that horrible feeling of having to pack up and go back to the city. So we packed up and went back to the city, but not before snatching some music from Dave's computer (Band of Horses, Ray LeMontagne & Rich Hil).
We had plans of visiting Pinkberry Jordan for dinner and watching the MTV movie awards, but I decided i needed to stay home and just hammer out the finishing touches of my final projects!
Almost done!
