We got there and met up with luis. We walked around checking out everything, trying to scam people to give us there drinks and what not. I saw matthea and some others too. It wasnt long before we all got seperated. I stood by the exit thinking they might come back to look for me... Nope! I stood there taking peoples drinks and greeting them goodbyes. Some friendly people took me under their wing and next thing i know im at a bon fire watching gypsies juggle and blow fire. Also the next thing i know my newest friends and i are going iowa! Next thing i know im in a tent in coon rapids in someones back yard. It was the guy me and eliza and her friend derek had met the night before. He was nice and his family made us breakfast.

Eliza and derek drove me to coon rapids that night so I had the guy rob(?) drive me to uptown were I laid on the bank of calhoun from 12:00pm to 5pm and then attended Anthony green at the triple rock and i got in for free!

K is for...

L is for... Loft parties. Since I was fifteen These parties had been thrown. My friend and I would go not knowing anyone, by the time 3am hit we left with everyone. So many friends were made thanks too those parties. Even though the people who attended them were 4-7 years older than us. Haha. still friends with some of those people.

M is for... My mother who kicked me out of the house around june 29th(?) and I spent some days worrying everyone in my bloodline about where I was due to a dead phone. This opened up the oppurtunity my dad suggested I move back with him in california. And the next day I was gone on a plane.

N is for... No where to go. Through out this year there's been no where to go at some points. Some of those points It was fun and an adventure. Other times, I was alone and I had no where to go. I always find myself home. With a little help from some good people.

P is for... Pacific coast. Last march I brought emily to california with me. This trip was exciting. Our first major quest was too buy cigarettes or someone to buy us some. Check! my nieghbor down the road Jojo bought us each a pack. We biked down to venice and sat in front of the tattoo/ magic animal show thing. We asked for change in english accents and talked and made friends with the bums. Our "closest" bum friends were named Ted and Tino. Ted was tall and had very pretty blue/green eyes. He also had shaggy blonde hair and had golden skin form living on the beach. He was 23. Tino was... Tall super tan, blue eyes muscular from running up and down the beach in the mornings. He was 28. Ted told emily and i how he left engineering school to become a bum. They all smoke mad weed. Tito explained how society is messed up and how he didnt want to be apart of it anymore. Me and Emiy went to venice each day, looking at fine brothas, asking for change, and talking with ted and tino.

Q is for... Questioning my own reason.

R is for... Recklessness. Ive been so reckless this year. Its the perfect word to describe me as. I'm trying to change it and ive been doing a swell at it so far!

S is for... Super America gas stations. In the black of the night leaving a party it's become more tradition to steal food from a super america gas station. Hungry and about to go home you need something to tie you over and being youthful as we all are and broke. Its funnier to steal salads.

T is for... Triple Rock. All the free shows and friends playing there this year had been fun.I get in for free because im sneaky as hell! and on occasion some friends will tour through mpls with a band i may like so they get me in.

Too much fun.

U is for... Uptown. The times i spent biking around Calhoun and the lyndale neighborhoods in the after hours of summer and spring nights. The dance parties thrown on harriet and the fights thrown on the way to 31st and garfield. All my 'weekend' friends sneaking me in under there coat tails.

W is for... wasting money at Alberstons. In california they have albertsons. I lived two blocks up the street from and albertsons. I spent so much money buying swiss rolls and lettuce and dressing there. and sadly enough had to apply for a job there. Obvoiusly never got it. Alberston's was also the place me and emiy hung out in front of when we were bored. We did that like twice in our visit.

X is for... xui xui and johanna newsom. Incredibly HORRID bands. I don't know what kind of state of mind you'd have to be to actually enjoy these bands. High on heroin or losing your mind. These bands are terrible. I's rather listen to lyonel richies christmas album.

Y is for...

Z is for...
