californiaaaaa in the summer
it's 1:08am and i'm sitting in my living room right smack dab in the middle of andrew and my father. they've been talking for about three hours straight, and if i didn't know better, i would assume that they're in love. there's finally a gap in the conversation, that awkward silence that always eventually rolls around. wait, just kidding, now they're talking about TGIfriday's.
andrew's visit has been so far so good. saturday night, jenelle and i met him at the airport and then realized that i desperately needed gas. andrew was a sweetheart, and offered to buy my first tank of gas. in california for 20 minutes and already was down $50. but then we decided to drive down to belmont park to walk along the beach. the sand is so much finer there, did you know this? then we went back to jenelle's to have a little bonfire and nibble on some carne asada fries.
today we just decided to drive. south bay freeway to 5 south to palm ave, straight past IB to drive along the coronado coast. we saw some kid jamming out on one of those real estate signs like it was a guitar, that was probably the greatest things i had seen in a long time. we considered stopping at the strand, just because i'm madly in love with that beach.. but we just continued straight on to old town. checked out a few of the houses, bought some candy, then drove down to fashion valley. you know, to impress him with the whole outdoor mall deal. oh, and the bang&olufsen store. good lord, they have some nice $13,500 tvs. gorgeous. we went to the cheesecake factory for lunch, then drove home to just chilllll.
tomorrow we should be heading to balboa park. tickets for the zoo are like $33, a lot cheaper than i expected. then tuesday's still up in the air.. wednesday we're possibly going to california adventures? then sleeping up in pasadena.. thursday, we'll be driving up the 1 to san francisco and staying up there until saturday. things are going smoothly, we're enjoying ourselves, and my parents like the extra company around the house.. my father especially.
and i'm just in a good mood, finally, because i've secured myself a date with a boy from cornell back when i get up to school. we've been talking on and off since i went to school.. took a break from each other as he studied in berlin for a semester.. and now we're talking again. soo that's sweet? i guess. i'm looking forward to it at least. (:
