day 22 lent-tessa
by all textbook scenarios today was a spectacular day. i woke up, realized i didn’t have any food so i went to QFC because i’m being economical. that’s how nice my neighborhood is…by going to QFC i’m being economical.
i bought about a month’s worth of food and some spirits, for which when i was carded i had to give my life’s story to get the clerk to feel comfortable about my alaskan ID. once back in the vicinity of my apartment i had to park and carry my load of groceries up three flights of stairs. there are a lot of nice things to be said about having an apartment by yourself. having to carry a large load of groceries by yourself isn’t one of them.
first of all the only spot open and close to the building was an hour-long parking spot, so that meant i had to move my car after i unloaded. then i had to go through the security door, up the stairs and get into my apartment, then go back down for another armful. also it was like 80-something degrees outside. inside the apartment i had my little window fan going full bore, but it did little to ease the headache inducing swelter.
i decided to go for a walk after i ate. so i walked to greenlake, then around green lake, carrying my cellphone for protection. protection from what? having to acknowledge the swarm of people at greenlake on a monday afternoon.
except i really did want to meet people. isn’t that fun? walking by yourself makes you mysterious or lonely. or both. there are a lot of skeezy old men at greenlake.
coming around a turn i saw it. the perfect v-torso man back. god it’s attractive. mmm. v-back and his friend ended up walking along side of me for about three seconds as i passed. but i just passed by. a little further up i saw a drake and female mallard with one duckling. a little family. duck was my first word.
duck.
i talked to erin and i talked to stacey for like an hour. i called Coyote for scrabble but he told me about the go! team show at neumos. i met him at his building but couldn’t find a parking spot to save my life. i hate capitol hill for that. at the show we met up with dylan & mary & hlav & nate. i had a raging headache that only disappeared after a jack & coke and a glass of ice water. lent-tessa!
the go! team was impressively dance-worthy. their lead singer was a cute black brit with a trebleclef tattoo on her shoulder. she did the booty shake like no other.
Coyote disappeared after the encore, leaving a message on my phone that he’d walked home and he hoped i’d had a good time. i took hlav back to his car at office internationalist. he showed him where they work, it’s pretty awesome. stories about stripping floor paint with acid. he even did a demonstrative scream like how it feels to get it on you.
so yeah it was a good night. except everybody kept asking me if i was dating Coyote, and the hot guy has a girlfriend, and i got hungry but that was solved because it is absolutely FANTASTIC that i have four cheese doritos right now.
it goes on.
