Seriously. Random.

This has been a very weird few weeks for me. Why? I just feel kind of run down, and that I'm in some weird anti-climatic phase of my life. Is that normal?

Anyways, this has been one of the funniest and randomest weekends because of the opening of the Academy of Sciences. I, the marine nerd that i am, was way too excited for the grand opening that I woke up at 645am on SAturday, in hopes of being one of the first million people to get to see the place for the first time. Of course, that did not happen due to 1.) cleaning my apartment, 2.) waiting for john to beat the traffic and 3.) waiting for dan at crepevine. By the time we knew it, it was already 2pm (or maybe even 3pm?) and academy of science was no longer open to the public. booooooooooo. There were, however, many great highlights of the adventure, which of course I will share....

- the extreme line of porta-potties. Goodlord, i've never seen so many porta-potties all in one place.
- the attempt of going in the D Young Museum's tower. failed.
- Lots of random pictures especially with the light post that i claimed look like an ice cream scooper.
- Lori and RJ (coz it was Mark's favorite band ever)
- Establishing that being a wing man for one of your girl friends is not as effective as being the wing woman for your boy friends LOL Dan and John illustrated this nicely as we were walking to the Haight. I cannot get over it, it freakin' cracks me up.
- We established that "sometimes i sometimes" means rarely.
- Buying random shyet at AMoeba (well, just me)
- Some melon salad with fig. Dan asked me how the fig was (coz i've never had a real one before besides in Fig Newtons) and I said, "it kinda tastes like cigarette. like tobacco." John and Dan looked at each other with a look on their face of, "wtf?" coz of course, i sound crazy. Then I went on to explain, "you know, kinda like when you accidentally open your mouth and the smoke from a smoker goes into your mouth and you taste it." Once again, stares at each other. I gave a piece of the fig to Dan, and he said he kinda knew what I was talking about...continue on...
- We decided to ride the 6 down towards the Ferry building, but John saw a Coffee Bean, and he got super excited so we got off the bus
- From CB, we walked down to the Ferry Building, and then to freakin' Knuckles SportsBar at Fisherman's wharf. HELLA TIRED YO! I did manage to take a few night shots though ;)
- Said, "oh we can make it" as we tried to catch the 30. Yah, you had to be there.
- Crazy tree in the street
- Crazy 38 bus! hella crowded, and some chick kept stepping on my feet! It's like fucking hold onto something, bitch!
- Waiting for the 28 and John telling me to just throw down his things from my apartment, but when we got off the bus he went upstairs anyways ahha

And then, I sat my ass down on my couch and put ben gay on my poor ankle. Along with brace. and then...i fell asleep.

Woke up this morning to get my hair done (and it looks damn good, yo!), walked my ass over to Academy of Science, and like a science nerd, bought a year membership pass hahaha Even more nerdy was me going inside, smiling to myself and wandering into the aquarium (my FAVORITE part) and almost having a heart attack because i was sooooooooo excited to be there. You don't understand how happy i was to be in the presence of all those marine creatures, and it made me realize how much i miss going out to the tidepools. I miss my inverterbrates...especially the sea anemones and nudibranchs. soooo cute!

Then I went off shopping like a person who has money, and clearly i KNOW i don't, but i did anyway. Got back and graded, and then had a wonderful conversation with my brother. It was good to hear from him, and how cute it was for him to share about his terrible week with me. We use to be really close in high school, but not so much anymore due to locale reasons. I'm just glad that he still feels he can still talk to me about things that i KNOW he still values as important (though, he sometimes comes off as if he doesn't).

I know we're all in our own little bubbles, doing our own things, but sometimes you have to reach out to people to fill that spiritual void that we keep trying to ignore. Anyways, I feel like I did that this weekend. that's all.
