I have nothing to say.
It's 0212. I just finished sitting in the dayroom, watching "Saw" with Megan, Angela, Jessica, and . . . oh crap. I don't know his first name. Barton. Whatever. He hardly counts; he came in halfway through. It wasn't a very impressive movie; I don't recommend it. I really don't have anything bloggable to say . . . I'm supposed to be getting up in less than eight hours to go the zoo with Tasia, Jamie, Ben, and what's-his-name (different what's-his-name), and I only actually know Tasia and Jamie, and I'm not going to like the zoo, and I'm so incredibly sleep-deprived . . . I literally almost passed out earlier, just standing in my room. I got hit by a sudden wave of fatigue and dizziness and had to sit down. And then I stood up, grabbed my skateboard, and walked out. I had a purpose, even though something was telling me that dizzy fits and skateboards shouldn't really go together. But oh well. Nothing happened. I didn't fall or even really go skateboarding; just pushed Jessica around the hall on it for a little while until Tasia left and Megan restarted the movie.
Dane left me his keys for the weekend; he went to visit Doug. And when I say keys, I mean car and room. I'm in his room now; maybe I'll blog from his car later. Especially if I decide not to go to the zoo, which sounds like a good idea. Not going. For one thing, Tasia's car will be mightily uncomfortable with five people in it. For another, I'm not going to like it. And for a third . . . I'm freakin tired like no one should ever be tired. Actually, I should get out of Dane's abandoned room before I fall asleep right here. Hmm. Hey, I just noticed that Dane has black sheets on his bed. So do I. Black sheets . . .

Just found a wireless network in Dougs back yard, good luck is finding me easier these days. We just got back from 3 or 4 wine tastings. Wow... I was was a little smashed but getting better. We brought some back with us. I had a taste of probably the best wine I have ever had today. This mrning was surreal and soul satisfying. Doug's Dad woke up early and made some coffee... quietly. I didn't wake up till it was done and his dog wanted out. When I got up h was motioning for me to come outside. Outside were hot air balloons. It's amazing how something like that can change your day. But it set a tone for the day that made it like a novel. It was made even better when I stepped into the grass... It was cut a few days ago, blades are still loose in it and the smell is omnipresent. It was cold and damp from the dew, and I was still barefoot from sleeping on the couch (which I love to do, and use to do at Josh's every week before I moved in) and the feeling of the grass on my feet was amazing. It gave me flashbacks to childhood. I had grabbed Abby's camera luckily to take a picture of Doug's animals when I went out and got a picture of the Balloons and unfortunately what my mother refers to as "your father's ugly feet". It's not just women that hate there parents hand me down body parts. The day got even better when the coffee came out. We sat outside on the patio (where I am now with my lappy) and drank coffee and talked unil we were ready for breakfast. Doug has a very kind family and I understand were he get's it from. There is nothing fake here, honesty and genuine kindness. It is comfortable to be in someone elses space sometime and enjoy it as they do. Last night on the trip up we stopped at the Golden gate bridge and snapped a few pictures and scared some squares. Diedrich was yelling out of the car asking people if they wanted beers, non replied to the affirmative but we got a couple of smiles. After we got here we had a few beers and chips and some of Doug's Mother's homemade salsa and settled well on top of the In-and-Out burger we had on the way up. Mmmmm Strawberry Milkshake. Life is good sometimes. :) The dragged me into a moneyless poker game for a while which was fun, and then we watched TV with his Dad until everyone dropped off to sleep. It was a wierd feeling being in a living room and relaxing. It's a comfort I don't get anymore and I missed it greatly. I slept on the couch and as I mentioned I have an affinitiy for such arangements. Seems more comfortable than a bed to me and I think that is because the happiest times of my life were when I was crashing at Josh's every weekend. The couch doesn't look comfortable... like posion ivy doesn't look dangerous. But once I unfurled myself on it sleep was upon me, like being enveloped in a venus fly trap of sleepy good time happiness. (Doug just started gardening behind me, God that makes me smile for some reason) At 1:30 AM I got a call from Kelli, I think she called by accident or thought I was DD'ing last night... either way she figured it out and hung up. I thought something bad had happend and didn't figure it out till morning. (He was planting garlic) Doug's mother made us breakfast BTW... was good. They are very kind to take a bunch of weirdos like ourselves in and feed and shelter us. AND THE APPLE JUICE! had STUFF in it. Squeezed... no label. This trip has been incredibly good to the tastebuds. The wine tour was very good at Korbel, then the wine tasting. Tasted about 30 wines today... wow that adds up. We got hammered quicker than expected so unfortunatly I took less pictures trying to conserve... meh... oh well. some things can only be experienced anyway. Only truly enjoyed in the time it is experienced and from time to time savored as a memory. Combinations of sight sound taste touch and feel. and well all are amazed at the same time it sticks with you. The boys are inside watching Mission Impossible right now... wearing off the buzz and waiting for this evenings drinking to begin. We are going to stay in, have spaghetti and enjoy some wine, brandy, beer, good company, and interesting conversation. I'm not a drinker and I feel guilty as sin every time I do, but I do enjoy it. They are trying to get me to go to a Casino just as I am getting into my writing. :( I will fill you in on anything I forgot later or when I get back tommorow. Don't worry at ALL about the car, and use it as much as you want or need. Same with my room, and feel free to stay there if you wan't a room to yourself. The black sheets ARE comfy. :) We should talk sometime, this is a good and fun forum. It is good to communicate with you, but I like to speak with people sometimes too. The things I told Sarah I want to tell you, kind of to repay a debt of kindness I owe you. And there are things I didn't tell her that I WANT to tell you. Things that I just want to TELL someone else so that I can be free of them. Perhaps you want to know or don't... I would appreciate the ear though. Josh's is the only other one I told most of it to... but with him being far away it's hard. I really did mean it when I said I trusted you. It's what makes you such a good friend.
