Day Two

Here you can find the gallery and commentary.

Day two wasn’t nearly as exciting as day one.. We woke up at Phil’s house rather early. I slept in until 9am. Not late for most of you, but that was after I fought to go back to sleep when I woke up at 4:15am. Some habits die harder than others, I suppose.

Phil, Dad, and I all went and got a most excellent breakfast at a little diner/cafe thing near Phil’s house. You really can’t beat country food. They just make it so fucking good. Anyway, Dad and I left for Monroe at about 11:30-Noonish.

I was worried we were going to get into town too early and have a shit ton of time to kill, but I was stupid for doubting my Dad. He’s made this trip manymany more times than I have, and obviously he knows what’s up. We got into town right on time and had a short visit with my bro before he left back for Phil’s down south.

I had a bottle explode in my bag and my clothes were covered with hair-goo-stuff (sad times) so I immediately threw clothes into my mom’s washer. At that point, I also texted Mike.

Then a freaky thing happened. I had received a text like five minutes later saying “Okay, well I’m just going to head towards monroe and stop at a bar or two until you text me so I’m close. See you soon.” and I was like “Sweet, sounds good.” and then we get a knock-knock on the door no more than 30 seconds after I send the text and theres Mike. I was like “Holy shit you’re fast!”

Haha, my mom’s house is WAY out in the sticks (refer to the gallery) and I had gotten the text very delayed. So at that point, the washing machine hasn’t even filled up with Water yet so Mike and I decide we’re going to head into monroe and get some lunchy lunch. We have a few drinks and some food then head back to my mom’s house. Clothes in dryer, hang out a bit, and after they finish their cycle we head to mike’s house.

Lots of catching up and some beer drinking, otherwise nice and uneventful. 🙂

More pictures and blog to be expected tomorrow.

Note: I wrote this as a document when I had no internet at Phil’s house the first night. Here is the Album for all of the photographs. Most have descriptions/comments
I’m writing this now as it’s still fresh in my mind. My father and I are at one of my fathers best friends houses, one of my (many) padre’s as I like to call them’s house.
Let me tell you about my first day of vacation.. Well half day.
Today I woke up at 4:15 am. I forced my eyes wide open and climbed out of bed into my cold room. I’m sleeping next to my packed bags, for a lack of a better place to put them. So two duffle bags are my spooning partners.
Anyway, so I wake up and crawl out of bed and proceed to get ready for work.. same shit, different day.. Except today is a different day. Today is many things.
I work from 5:30 am until 10:30 am. Nice and short. In and then out. Today is my last day having to work at Aptos safeway. Yes, I got back into the starbucks in 41st Ave safeway and I am fucking stoked on it. So stoked my happiness is completely contageous at work and people can’t help but smile when they’re around me. I fly through work.
My father picks me up at 10:30 and we proceed to the house and I pack up my shit, make sure everything that I had used that morning was put away. Charge my ipod and my camera battery. We leave at 11:50am.
The drive is wonderful. Driving from Santa Cruz, California to Grants Pass, Oregon is nothing new to me. It’s a trip I’ve made atleast twice a year my ENTIRE life. At least as far as I can remember. The reason I say Grants Pass is because today we are only driving so far as Rogue River, Oregon, which is further south than Grants Pass anyway. We’re going to stay the night at my padre Phil’s house.
So I digress, the conversation is epic, my dad and I are two of the funniest people I know. I forget to clean my camera’s memory card and make it to Rogue River with a whole 3 pictures left to take on my memory card. This has NEVER happened to me before.
But still, of course, I take lots of pictures. My dad and I are two of the funniest people I now. As soon as we got out of the bay (screw that shit) and we get on the 505 we finally start relaxing and actually enjoying our road trip. He just stars making burns on me, not really evil ones, but just fucking hilarious ones. Like how the hell was it that I let you actually get that on me. Jeeze. I have all of two points against his 15 points. Blah.
We hit a random hellacious hail storm up by Weed california and there is snow on the Siskyu pass. But whatever, none of it is actually terrible. The sacramento valley isn’t suppressingly hot, it’s actually quite pleasant. We somehow miss all of the storms up until we roll into Shasta, which is only light rain (until further north, obviously)
So now I don’t know what else to say. I had lots of texting partners (thanks guys <3) and lots of pictures. I think the pictures do the talking for themselves.. Also I wrote descriptions as best I could remember on them. 🙂
That was the end of day one.
Fuck yes. I get to see my love tomorrow.
xoxo Amber

I don’t remember what I read..

Don’t remember what they said. Guess it doesn’t matter, guess it doesn’t matter anymore.

Cause you’re gonna go to the record store, you’re gonna give them all your money. Radio plays what they want you to hear. Tell me it’s cool, I just don’t believe it.

Sell out, with me, oh yeah.

Sorry, I don’t know why I decided to write all that, but it’s what I’m listening to and it’s good music. Love Reel Big Fish and I had a great time seeing them with Johnny a few months ago.

I’m poor, and that’s life. I’m stuck with it and that’s just the way it is. I’m not really emo about it anymore, just resigned to it being a part of life. I leave for Oregon in nine days, I am so completely excited, I cannot wait.

I’m going to be bringing my laptop, so hopefully I can find some wifi access in some places. Haha. I plan on actually keeping track and writing about my trip. The only thing that sucks is that my laptop battery only lasts like.. an hour. But I think amtrak has outlets.. o_O Maybe. Hahaha.

Anyways, I can’t bring myself to be in a bad mood when I know that I get to see my loverboy in a little over a week. Ah good times.

Dear Universe,

Do you just not want me to have any finances? Is my Birth Chart true? Am I just an unlucky individual who will always work hard and diligently and never have anything to show for it?

I choose not to believe these things fully, I try to believe that you are the master of your own fate, but sometimes I feel like you just shove it in my face to remind me who is all powerful.

What are you trying to tell me! Why do you keep doing this to me? I know this is not just me being financially stupid. I am not dumb with money! Somehow “something” always comes up. Why do you make that “something” happen??

Gah, I hope there is some Greater Plan happening right now or I will rip my fucking hair out.

Your friend,
Amber

On a lighter note, I have discovered the group/singer/band/whatever Metric. I kind of love every song I’ve heard of theirs. Yeah, good shit. Thanks Grooveshark. I owe you one.

And just like that the whole world can turn upside down. I’m kind of okay with my life right now. Really, I don’t feel anything negatively. I think two hours of just playing with my poi and finding that ‘zen’ area really helped clear all the clutter from my brain.

I wont go into detail, but I just want to thank the Cosmo’s for addressing my work situation. I appreciate it.
