Oh. My. God. Partying with Ilana and her friends was crazy fun. We were celebrating Ilana's friend Natalie's 21st. Key elements of the night included:
- An amazing dinner at Natalie's house
- A ridiculous dessert courtesy of Natalie's pastry chef sister (it was a cake that sells for $108 in her restaurant)
- 11 crazy girls and me stuffed into the back of a limo with an open bar
- a fun dance club/bar where we met up with a bunch of other friends, including some very cool guys
- drinking
- dancing
- fun fun fun
Can you see how cool this was?
Ilana also took me to an In-N-Out burger! How cool is that!? I know it's probably not that big a deal for those of you who live in California, but for me, having never seen one, and being such a huge Big Lebowski fan, it was like being in the movies. They have a killer grilled cheese that's only like a buck fifty. It's not at all what you might expect, but it rules.
I got to walk along the beach in Pacific Beach today, which was fun. Despite the fact that the water is freezing, there were a ton of people swimming and surfing, and a surprisingly high percentage weren't wearing wet suits. People are idiots.
I got two new CDs today. Usually its against my rules to buy two CDs at once, because I tend to not really get into either of them (spread my listening too thin, I guess), but they were only 8 bucks apiece! I got the new Less Than Jake and an old Livind End CD. I'm promising to not open the Living End CD until I get to New Hampshire, which will be a couple weeks from now.
Jessie is currently in North Carolina - she'll probably be in the Atlantic ocean within a week of when I was in the Pacific, meaning we are pretty much as far away as we could be within the continental U.S. That must be why I ache so bad all the time.
