Drove around and watched Bruno with Dominick| | Here's a bit of a continuation of yesterday's journal:
Left the house at 9:10PM and had to get some gasoline since like... I needed some. I went to AmPm and like, used my debit card since it was much faster. I pumped some gasoline into the tank and then wanted to clean the windshiled, only to realize that there wasn't any water in the squeeze tank thing. WTF!? They both were dry and so I had to empty out an Aquafina bottle into the tank just to clean it! Oh yeah, no paper towels either. Wtf? But anyway, I added too muhc gasoline and so I ended up putting in $33.14 into it. When I pulled out the nozzle, I spilled some gasoline on the floor. Wow, what a waste of a whole quarter. I left and drove on the 405 freeway northbound until I reached LAX using 105W.
At LAX, I was at the Arrivals level (the bottom level) and like... was looking for Terminal 6 parking, taking the long way instead of cutting through the center like any genius would do. I kept making last-second lane switches to avoid parking in the wrong parking lot... but yeah, I eventually made it into parking lot 6. After taking my parking ticket, I was fortunate enough to find a spot right near the entrance. Excellent! I parked in and helped the lady next to me, helping her see if it's safe for her to back up without hitting me or anyone else. Heh heh. But yeah, I took photos of my ticket and then a different lady parked next to me. I asked if we bring our parking ticket with us and she said that we could, but she just leaves it in the car because if you lose it, you pay the maximum price for parking--30 bucks. She said it happened to her before so yeah. She knows. HAHAHA! Anyway, I went to Terminal 6 and found the monitors that tell me what flights have arrivied. I arrived at the parking lot at 10:23PM and like, Dominick's flight won't be arriving until 10:45PM, like what i said in my last entry.
I sat outside and sketches the airport a bit. Yeah, I thougt I'd be waiting longer but nah. I ended up sketching only 2 scenes and they weren't all that good. I draw fast... which probably meant I'll never be an illustrator. Anyway, I checked the time and the monitors multiple times and even watched some people coming down the esculator hoping Dominick would come down early for some reason. I decided to put my sketchbook back into my dad's SUV and when I came back at 10:59PM, the monitor said that Dominick's flight arrived! Yay! So I waited for him to come down and like... he did, but didn't see me. He was walking away, toward the baggage courasel(sp?). Wtf? I followed him for a bit and then eventualyl said "turn around." He got his 1 thing of luggage and I lead him to my dad's SUV. He put his bag in the back and then took out his laptop. Heh, he's got an HP laptop like mine... but was smaller. He also left the plastic cover on like me! HAHAHAHA! I thought I was the only moron who does stuff like that.
I learned he was gonna play iTunes on his laptop. That pissed me off! Why? You knwo how I don't like it when people touch my radio? Well... he's gonna play music without my permission and that was bullcrap. I was pissed and he then asked for my permissino and I granted it, despite how annoyed I was. He was tryign to make the music play with the laptop is closed. He failed and I told him that it was going in sleepmode. He gave up and yeah. I paid 3 bucks for parking at the exit and then followed the signs toward the 405 freeway... only to get lost. Yeah, my fault for not just following my directions in reverse. I ended up talking to Dominick, asking about his flight and whatnot. He didn't get much sleep last night (slept til 1AM EST while I ended the phone conversation at 12:47AM EST--he's totally exaggerating) and that he only saw Phoebe for like, 5 minutes. Bummer. We had some small talk and I got so lost that I re-entered the airport. Heh, great. I told Dominick how it's been 6 years since I've been to LAX and that it brought back some grade 10 memories (you know... the bad ones).
I found the shortcut out of the airport! HAHAHA! No one was using it and so I got to cruise in right through. I let Dominick mess around with my radio and I found 105E and took that. I flipped some jerk on the road who sped up while I was trying to change lanes and got onto the 405S. We cruised on home and spoke a little bit. You know, small talk. I parked in front of his house at 12:31AM and helped him with his baggage (by opening the door; he didn't want me to). I told him that, even though he hated being home, I was really happy he was here. He was like, my only guy friend left after all. He'll gonna call me tomorrow at around 2PM... so yeah. I left for home, arrived at 12:45AM, took my shower, and went to bed.
My dream last night was about me working at Wal*Mart with Jackie Z and she was putting things to where they belong while I goofed around. I was in a wheelchair and like... didn't know how to go. I then figured out that I needed to use the wheels to move. DURRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I then crashed into a wall. That's all Ican recall. There was much more to it.. but I forgot. I woke up at 8:50AM and like, surfed online for a bit. I replied to Tiff's note about gift delivery and at around 12PM, I went downstairs and made myself 2 PB&J sandwiches and a bowl of this multibran Flaxseed(?) cereal. I don't remember if it was flaxseed, but I'm pretty sure it was because it was like the cereal I bought last time except without the strawberries. It was actually pretty good without any sugar in it. Hmm. But yeah, I ate all that while watching the Season 3 finale of The Sopranos on On Demand. After that, I went upstairs and Dominick called me at around 1:30PM to tell me we were still on for today. Excellent.
I quickly took a shot for my Chia Pet hair project and was running late. I picked up Dominick at 2:38PM (when I was suppose to pick him up at 2:30PM). I apologized and he told me what he wanted to do. He wanted me to go down the Ortega freeway (highway? parkway?) and explore a bit. He told me that Skyler form McDonalds was probably not working today. Heh, I wanted him to introduce me because he looked like Dominick from grade 11. Dominick wanted to see the movie at the end of the day, so yeah. Uh... okay. We stopped by Ralphs so that he could pick up his paycheck and pay back the money he owed his mom. After that, we eventually found Ortega and like, drove down it. It actually got me dizzy by the end at Lake Elsinore. Hmm. But yeah, the trip brought memories of last semester and how he wanted to bring Jay and Kelly along for the ride. We saw the AmPm that we went to last year... and Dominick wanted something at Jack In The Box. I told him I probably wouldn't get anything because like... I was dizzy and fast food kinda has a weird effect on me (like the P-Zone from Pizza Hut).
So like, there were no U-turns for like... ever and so I continued down the street instead. We eventually hit a cul-de-sac next to a recycling center and then Dominick wanted to go to the Target near there. The sign we saw was for the freeway and so we assumed it was on the same side as the sign. I was already in the left turn lane when Dominick noticed it was to our right. Wow. NO U-TURNS. I eventually found a small place to "attempt" a U-turn and I got around to making it to Target. We parked and Dominick bought some snacks after saying he wouldn't make a mess in my dad;s SUV. Yeah, I don't allow eating, but I did allow him to do it last night because of the flight. Hmm. I bought an Aquafina and some weird... hybrid kiwi-watermelon water. Dominick bought his vitamin water, some of them Ritz cheese things, and two things of beef jerky. He wanted to pay... so like, wtf? I got the car started and like, yeah. We didn't know where to go next.
I continued down the road on like... 76 highway or something. I saw a cool painted rock that was like, an apple sliced into pieces. We eventually reached Perris. Yes, Perris. Dominick told me to take a photo of Perris Pawn[shop]. Heh. Okay, there was a junction entering the free way. One lead to Riverside, the other to San Diego. We were on our way to Riverside, but I told Dominick about the traffic and we quickly went toward San Diego down the 15-S freeway. We then drove all the way down. Dominick was snacking on junk and like... it was about 4:50PM. We saw Rainbow Valley! Why was this significant? On August 12 last year, we were lost while trying to watch the meteor showers and like, we came across Rainbow Valley. Heh heh. On the road, we passed Temecula and the exit toward Pachanga Casino. Heh, I wanted to go there but Dominick said no (or was it "another time?" Whatever). I also saw a Mervyn's! YEAH! MERVYN'S IS STILL ALIVE!!!1 Heh, it's probably the last one too.
So FINALLY after more than an hour of driving, we both were relieved to see the sign with the 5 freeway on it. Heh. Now, I got confused and accidentally changed out of the 5-N lanes and into the 5-S one. OOPS! It's cool though, because it was a good excuse to get gasoline. I exited and stopped at a Chevron. Dominick pitched in 20 bucks for gasoline and so I added 40 bucks to my tank. He bought himself a Cactus Cooler while I wiped my stirring wheel a little. We were on our way home down the 5-N and I took some shots of the scenery. They were blind shots and so I have no idea what they look like.
Heavy traffic. I almost hit the car in front of me because traffic actually stopped. I was probably only a few inches away from the car. Wow, was I scared out of my mind. Dominick didn't say it was my fault... which was weird because uh... really? Anyway, we eventually made it to Lake Forest. Woo! Dominick heard on the radio that there was a concert at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa. He was disappointed. Heh. But yeah, we parked in front of Regal Cinema and Dominick went ahead of me to check the times of Bruno. I wanted to eat before the movie, but when I saw the times... the next one would be starting at 9:30PM and that may be too late for Dominick since he needed to go to Ralphs by like... 11:30PM. It was 7:36PM and we decided to get in line for the 7:45PM show. He didn't seem too thrilled about it though, but yeah. We bought tickets; $10.50? We then entered theatre 22 and yeah. We sat down as the lights started to dim. We sat in front of some annoying girls. Like, I don't know about Dominick, but they were annoying during the previews with their fake laughs and their chatting. It's like, shut up! Luckily they did when the movie started.
After Bruno, we left the theatre at 9:20PM. On our way to Souplatation, Dominick pointed at Miguel's, saying that Bobby was the assistant manager of that restaurant. I got kinda annoyed about that because it sounded like he wanted to go there to chat with him and whatnot. He said that if Souplantation closes at 10PM, we'd be going to Miguel's. Well... it did and we ended up going to Miguels. He saw one of his French class buddies. He lead us to a table and yeah. I told Dominick not to bring Bobby up again. He ordered a Garbage Burrito while I got myself the first thing I saw: Pollo Asada Quesadilla. I didn't wanna screw up the whole day with my beef on Bobby, and so I kept my mouth shut. Dominick kept bugging me about it and like, after he came back from taking a piss, he continued to bug me about it and I told him why. We ended up talking a lot actually. I asked him how was his day and he said it was okay. We started to talk about the movie briefly and how I thought about it and then how his vacation wasn't all that's cracked up to be.
He didn't like alcohol. Uh... I'm disappointed. He tried some for the first time at Phoebe's Dad's party. Hmm. But anyway, he told me that Phoebe and Wayne would "kick him out" and he'd be wandering outside for a bit. He actually got caught in pouring rain and like... I was amazed. But yeah, after dinner, he wanted to go to Wal*Mart. He dubbed it as my, "arch-nemesis." Heh, NO. I didn't want to go there after that lady made a scene 2 years ago. I was their best customer too! SHEESH! But anyway, he said that I should call Phoebe and tell her to tell Wayne that tomorrow was 7-Eleven's free Slurpee Day. Heh... I kinda didn't feel like it.
Dominick said that he thought I'd forget Phoebe if we ever lost touch. I said I wouldn't, but he believed that I would after seeing how easily it was for me to hate on people I use to care about. I told him Phoebe was different and no matter what, I would NEVER let that happen. It was kind of a shock for him to say that. We started talking about relationships and I felt really really awkward. I've done some crap back then that I'm not proud of (would NEVER write it on here btw) and so I kinda got borderline depressed because my heart was starting to ache. We ended up staying at Miguel's to 11PM. They didn't kick us out or anything, but we were the only ones left. We walked to my dad's SUV and talked some more.
Dominick was interested in renting the room in my house. Cool. When we got to my dad's SUV, I showed him a flyer of the hotel I stayed in last year. He really liked it and I told him that I wanted him to come over on my barfday, but that never happened. We talked about relationships more and I ended up expanding something I told him back at Ruby's Diner on January 8th. I felt really weird... and felt like crap the rest of the night. Dominick wasn't going to work btw; he was jsut meeting at friend at Ralphs. I drove him there, telling him not to tell anyway... and that he was still my best friend. He left and I drove home. He left all his food in my dad's SUV, saying that I wouldn't waste it. Uh... thanks. But yeah, when I came inside at 11:40PM, my sister was home and I said hi as she walked down the stairs. I then felt really really uneasy and called Dominick's house to tell his mom to give me a call back when he got home. I took my shower, brushed my teeth, and sent a text message to Molly. I wanted to talk to her about something personal and private. Ugh... that's all I'm gonna say. Tomorrow I'm gonna stay home and do nothing. I don't feel good to do anything.
Today was cool... but the night still bothers me.
