these dreams go one when i close my eyes; every second of the night i live another life

we went to the Del Mar Racetrack yesterday. i know nothing about horseracing, but there was a microbrew festival, and then jimmy eat world played a concert, so you know i was IN THERE.

we ended up hanging out with one of eric's friends from work and her boyfriend -- who are both so supernice. and of course, in a year, they're moving to alaska (where the boyfriend is from). dammit! i hate when i meet awesome people and then they end up vanishing...

the jimmy eat world concert did not disappoint. it was general admission, so we were pretty darn close. of course, with that, comes its risks. there wasn't too much "moshing," per se, so the pushing and shoving wasn't much of a problem. but there was quite a bit of crowd surfing. which you KNOW i am not about to do. sincd i weigh quite a bit more than most girls (and guys!) that end up there, i really don't want to entrust myself to other people's lifting abilities, only to be dropped about 2.2 seconds later.

but, i do like to HELP. unfortunately, my upper body strength is considerably lacking. amidst all the zeal and everyone trying to help the surfer float around on top of the audience, i ended up losing my balance, crumpling up and on the ground, semi-smushed and semi-trampled more than once. not to worry though -- i sustained no serious injuries. it looks like i have one teeny bruise on my arm. and i've got an adorable pink/tan going on. CUTE!

there was a LOT of imbibing. one of the beers i sampled tasted somewhat like double bubble -- you know, the bubble gum? oooh, it was yummy. i also had a margarita. i got a souvenir shaker cup.

i also had to induce vomiting at 4am.

i had many disturbing dreams last night. some lowlights: extremely sunburned feet, a friend's 2 brothers (which he, in real life, does not have) telling me that said friend hates me, being late to a job interview that was going to be for a newspaper (but ended up being all in japanese) -- and i was still 30 blocks away, a premature baby that died, going out to a restaurant for lunch that ended up being some sort of religious cult thing...all kinds of weird imagery...

only one pleasant dream arrived to give me solace. and i've had it so many times before...
