Jul. 29th, 2000 11:13 pmi have gotten lost *soo* many times in the past two days. yesterday i went to caryn's house to sew, and i'd gotten vaguely lost once before it started raining. and i'd gotten lost again by the time it was raining so hard i couldn't see. very disturbing. but i got a pair of pants sewn and another cut out. and then i came home and went to sleep.
i got to sleep in! it was so cool! got up at 10.30 and had breakfast, and then got lost a bunch more times going fabricking. i went to both gstreets, and got $40 worth of leather for a jerkin thing at one of them, and $70 of fabric for dresses and tunics at the other one. but before i did that, i had to get there. it wasn't too bad going to the centreville store, but the other one was in seven corners, and while the corners themselves were relatively easy, getting there kicked my ass. somehow i managed to get on the completely wrong road going back the way i came when i exited off of 66. but i got there eventually. and the centreville g street, while slightly smaller, is much more sanely set up.
then i went to kate's, and only got lost once. i got to harass several of her cats (out of the 11 currently residing in her house) and now have black jeans with orange fur. and i talked to her and had actual conversation type things! yay! ...yeah. and i hung around longer than i should have, but oh well. it's all good, i think. she gave me advil. i didn't leave till it kicked in. and then i kinda stood by the door, and was like, "bye. thanks. ::pause:: er, do you want a hug?" cause i felt awkward *not* giving her a hug, but i also felt awkward cause i didn't know if she wanted one.
and then i was hungry and was going to go to tysons, but i couldn't figure out which bit of it was actually *tysons* so i figured i'd just go to andy's and stop by fresh field's. where i proceded to buy $40 worth of stuff. ::sigh::
called andy, but he was about to leave to give laura her bday present, called my dad, said i'd head home soon. went to andy's for five minutes and then left. he was helping me find my way to the beltway, but i didn't see the sign on the street where we were supposed to turn opposite directions. oops. i figured it out eventually, though (lost yet again...) and got on the beltway at little river instead of gallows. and then i discovered that the toll road is ONLY A LEFT EXIT! grr. so i got off at the next exit, several miles later, and turned around. got lost again when i discovered that the road i was on doesn't actually go all the way to the toll road. and then i got on a road that did and i *swear* it had two separate beltway entrances instead of a toll road entrance. so i got back on the beltway and had a mile or less to go all the way across and make it to the freakin' left exit. i didn't get lost again after that, tho.
oh, yeah, the reason i was going on the toll road was cuz of sarah's party for girl-i-don't-know-named-nikki. and i tried to call my dad from andy's before i left, but the answering machine made that noise it makes when it's just cut off your message. so i called again from sarah's once i got there, and recieved a 10.00 curfew cause of all the drunk people on the road... yeah. i was the most dangerous driver out there. ::sigh::
so there was a party. played afro celt at people, partook of the pizza, brought fancy schmancy olives, but no one had any of them. i didn't really do much - i flirted with sarah some, and draped on cap for some reason (me being not much of drapey friends with her) and talked to kate.
and then at 9 (half an hour before i had to leave at the very latest, for those of you who were keeping track) andy finally showed up. it's weird how many people asked me where he was and if he was coming to the party.
andy ate and gushed about dan inosanto, and gave marilyn's pants back, and we.. uh, yeah, and then it was time to go. he wanted to say hi to rosie but she wasn't there, having been rather miserable and bee stung. so i just said bye to everyone and left. without getting lost!
i got home 10 minutes late. blah. i'm really sleepy, and i should have spent the time in which i wrote this post taking a shower, so i could get to sleep. ::sigh::
