it is saturday morning and i woke up at 8:30...

last night was bizarre... first off, yesterday was exhausting. its hard when your boss and miserable customers have the perfect ability to make your working experience so hellish. but, it doesnt matter. im leaving in may and untill then im building character... hehehe...

i ran into garett yesterday afternoon at the coffee company. garett is my current hero. today he is leaving visalia to move to santa clara ( or something like that ) to start an organic rasberry farm. he was so excited when he was telling me about it... he says he has always loved gardening and farming is what he has really always wanted to do. i wish there were more guys like that here. but i supose they arent here becuase they like to move away to santa clara... anyways, it got me to thinking.

i also ran into chris down there. it was good to see him.

mara met me for coffee and we sat outside and talked for a few hours. she invited me to have dinner with her that night and some of her friends from the saviours community church.

in my head, i freaked out. i dont like meeting new people, expecially in crowds, especially christian churchy type people. but (and it came as no suprise) i sort of felt like God wanted me to go for whatever reason. once again, God had a hay day with me, shoving me out of my comfort zone and making me do something i wouldnt normally do. mara is my good friend and she really wanted to me go, so i did.

we ended up going to red robin (wouldnt have been my choice... i would have rather stayed down town...). i was part of a crown of eight. i havnt been part of a crown that big in probably years... and i was still freaking out. im sure they were all nice people... they were all nice people... but they were just so loud... obnoxious... loud... sort of superficial... of course they were beautiful, all dressed up in nice little clothes, pretty done up hair and un-natural hues of makeup... i dont know. i just cant handle crowds... i hope some good came of it though... if not for me, maybe for them...

highlights of the evening... talking to garett, chris and mara, running into travis and kevin driving downtown and following them several city blocks as travis tried to loose me... pulling up next to his car and hearing him scream... the waiter at red robin was cute and i think he was smiling at me in particular, hopefully recognizing that i did not belong in that certain group of people... coming home and watching tombstone and then going to bed.

im going to the mountains today.

peace...
