   Last night I went on down to Diedrichs, and a lot of people were there. Specifically, there was Crispy & Abby, Dianasaurus & her band, Shalane and Tristan. Then around ten Diedrichs closed and most people, by which I mean, Diana and her band and Laners (who was gonna spend the night on her floor). As they headed to their cars Tristan played/sang Johnny Cash - Hurt on his guitar. Then valiant Diedrichs employee Ryan locked up and came out and him and I and Tristan sat on the patio and they took turns playing the guitar.
   Then Keebler drove by just to tell Ryan that one of his old friends was back in town; causing Ryan and Tristan to finally scamper off and I went home.


Pictures
   Earlier in the day I was also at Diedrichs, and I drew some pictures. Enjoy them because after I drew them I lost my good pen. )=

More drawings, and a bonus picture of me )


Casting Call
   I may be doing a photo shoot of a whole bunch of scarves soon. If anyone wants to model for this totally emo shoot drop me a line, cause Caroline is in Europe and manikins aren't very emo. (=

   Today, as previously mentioned, I spent much of the day marauding Mission Viejo with a digital camera.

   My day started out at the Coffee Bean at the Laguna Hills Mall, where Krispy, Shalane, and Shalane's boyfriend Pete work. I got an application myself while I was there.

   Then I proceeded to maraud about and take photographs. Eventually while I was behind Diedrichs taking some pictures a girl came up to me and asked if I knew where Matt Christie was. Matt, of course, is in jail. "Oh, I thought he was ignoring me." Turns out her name is Caylin, and SHE too has an lj ([livejournal.com profile] silentcelluloid).

   After I had finished marauding and eatin some hamburger for dinner I hung out with Shalane at her new place in Santa Ana (north of here an estimated 26 minutes according to mapquest). A dozen people live there, its crazy. A bunch of us watched Old School and then I returned home because my pictures were calling to me to be posted.

Just two picture that relate to this )

   On my way to the Plain White T's1 show I stopped by Diedrichs with the lingering hope that I still might find some clue as to what happened to the former "Diedrichs Crew." As it turns out, I did luck out this time and found Krispy and Abby there.


Where Are They Now? The (former) Diedrichs Crew )




Plain White T's
   The PWT show was awesome. I think it was one of the best shows I've been to in awhile. Afterwords I was going on about how excellent it was to Kristy and I think she hates me for it now because she missed them when they were in the Bay Area.
   I was afraid I'd be disappointed because I've overplayed most of their songs on my playlist, but at least half their set was new material. I think its the only show I've ever seen at Chain Reaction to have crowd surfers (lots of them), and the moshing was excellent. Unlike a lot of shows it wasn't tough guys trying to show off how tough they are and how violently they can mosh and shove, but people just enjoying themselves, it was excellent.
   At the show I hung out with Anna LeLoup (former columnist for the Chosen Echidna) and Camille ([livejournal.com profile] mystiqmusic). Afterwords I hung out with Allie Bloomqvist ([livejournal.com profile] flyinmonkey) and Laurie ([livejournal.com profile] wrong_cow_girl). Incidentally, Anna, Camille and Allie were originally all part of the same group of people but it disintigrated as so many groups do and I think now I'm one of few people who still hangs out with different former members of it.


Poll of the Day
   As regards the first question, assume future interviews would be with real people rather than myself, use the scale used in previous poll questions, where 5 = I love this feature and would like to see much more of it, 4 = I enjoy this feature, 3 = continue to use it at about this same frequency, 2 = I'd like to see less use of this feature, and 1 = please cease and desist with this particular feature.

1Yes Tobin I realize there is a grammatical error inherent in their name, that is not my doing.

Sunday Night
   So Saturday night, after I wrote that other entry, Sean and Ishar ([livejournal.com profile] iamrav) picked me up and we went to safe-way for alcohol.
   So we find ourselves looking at bud light and steel reserve. Everyone is indecisive. They ask me what I'd prefer and I indicate steel, they're like "yea steel sounds good." Then we look at the hard alcohol, trying to decide between rum and vodka. Finally I say "well I'm probably just gonna drink steel so I dunno," they immediately decide just to get another case of steel. Then as we're about to leave, Ishar decides to add one more case of steel for good measure, so we walk out with three cases of steel reserve. (=

   So we get to the party, someplace off Arthur they had heard about it while partying the night before. So we get there and its pretty cool, not very many people but we had a lot of fun. We made "brass monkeys," by mixing steel reserve and orange juice, and the legends are true it IS hella good. Some dude swore it tasted better with Olde E, but then he tried it and admitted it was definitely better. The girls hella jocked Sean and his kerryman accent. And Sean used the word "jock" and I thought it was funny. And people played drunken scrabble, with a double word score for any word pertaining to alcohol.
   There was another guy there with a 'hawk, and other people who had previously had them. Sean even admitted having once had one, we then declared that all irishmen have 'hawks at some point.

   Then I apparently left a hilarious drunken messege on Kristy's phone. Uh, I deny everything.


Today (Monday)
   Woke up feeling like crap and had an hour to pack everything for break. Got a ride down with Eric from the List and his Girlfriend (Brittany?). Traditional stop at In-N-Out, nothing else noteworthy to report

   Stopped by Diedrichs off La Paz on my way to Chain Reaction. Tristan told me to go away and that no one liked me there, Krispy said something similar I think, all I remember was that he looked strangely like John Travolta with a faux hawk, Megan and Abby just stared at me blankly, and then I proceeded on to Chain.

   Robin Kivlin's band Jack Bighead was playing at Chain Reaction. They played third and when they finished nearly everyone in the place left. A "real" promoter also actually talked to them afterwords so that was awesome. Also I heard that one must play Hogie Barmichaels (a miserable little place) once or twice in order to play at Chain, and at Chain about four times before one can play at Glasshouse. I had no idea one's progression in the world was so organized.

   On the way home I saw cars with hella roadrage. They were leapfrogging eachother to shien the other with high beams. Road rage is so lame, seriously. If you think the car in front of you is too slow, don't be hella rude about it. I always picture the person being subjected to such shows of roadrage as some old lady or other person one would never be rude to in real life. People act like just because they can't see the other person and said person can't beat them up its suddenly okay to be mad disrespectful to them.. thats cowardly at best. [/end rant]

   Where to start? Jessie is in the hospital now.. but thats not where I'm gonna start. Lets start with the mundane things.
   Today was apparently animal night at diedrichs. Crispy and Abby brought this massive hermit crab they'd bought, and there was a huge black widow on the table in a cup. Shyea. I polished my shoes.. and then the bracket thing that holds my chain(s) to my belt broke so I went to the hardware store.. but it was closed. Sadness. Mike the Horrible Human was evidently off humping some random girl he briefly showed up with.. I think thats the fourth girl that I know of that he's humped in the two weeks or so I've known him.
   Matt Morgan eventually turned up, much to our relief because no one knew where he was... apparently HE didn't either.. he couldn't remember anything after about 15:30 (it was 21:00 something). Then eventually Jessie turned up... and it soon became apparent that she was totally messed up on numerous different drugs. Laney, Matt Morgan, and Stephanie told her they were taking her to carls jr, and proceeded to take her to the hospital. Concern for her dominated the rest of the evening.
   A cop showed up soon at Diedrichs causing us to flee. I proceeded to Top of the World where several other people had already gone. When the subject of Jessie was brought up Brandon said something about not wanting to deal with the drama and left... I think Crispy best summed that up, by shouting after him "way to not deal with things fucker." Someone else added "thanks for not caring." Yea, Brandon definitely has zero points in my book and I'm glad to see some of the people who previously had a good opinion of him are starting to realize that he's just a fucknut poser. A second opinion.
   After about half an hour of being chased by sprinklers there I returned to Diedrichs to get free pizza hut. As always various others of our group showed up from time to time to fetch their cars and suchforth. The End.

   Having complained about the diedrichs lifestyle in my last post, I must say last night was more pleasant than I expected. We totally rocked out at Diedrichs to 80s music Crispy was blasting from his car.. and I swear if I ever get some kind of musical talent and become famous, more than one of my music videos is just gonna be Crispy rocking out. He was wearing his girlfriend Abby's clothes. It was too funny.
   Then we ended up at Top of the World. There were like a dozen of us. We just kicked around there till the sprinklers came on and then we fled. Returning to Diedrichs for the free Pizza Hut (from Taco Bell), these two other guys I've never seen before emerged from the opposite corner of the parking lot on cue for food.. psha on that! So I just relieved them of one pizza and some breadsticks. Later Mike the Horrible Human showed up and asked me how much food I had.. when I said I only had one pizza he made some sarcastic remark that ended in "fuck you!" and left. Obviously he thought I was lying.. awwww I hope I hurt his widdle feelings. Ass.
   I now have a leather jacket, a rather antique looking visor-cap and someone's blanket in my car. I think the blanket belongs to Laney and the other stuff belongs to Matt Christie. On that note Laney broke up with me* yesterday because I was talking to this girl Sarah who showed up. I was heartbroken. But "its cool we can still be friends."

   Just got back from Wild Rivers. Couldn go swimming because they were in the middle of a state audit. I learned that Aquatics Director Kevin Kopeny hasn't been around because "he's still at that court case." I of course have no knowledge of a court case.. they like to keep these things hush hush. I hope they get good and sued. ::Shakes fist::


   I totally crave a sandwich.


   *psh Laney is totally Matt Morgan's gf. Pay attention.

   Swim
   Go to the lumber yard.
   Swim
   Hang out with people, sleep.
   Swim
   Puke
   Swim some more
   Plan for tomarrow morning: Swim my brains out again.

   Why? Well this morning I was supposed to pass the tests to work as a Deep Guard at wild rivers again. But we didn't finish everything soo I need to go back tomarrow.
   I despise swimming. Swimming makes me sick.. literally. So why do I try so hard to be one of the elite deepguards at wild rivers with all the varsity swimmers and waterpolo players? I don't know.. I think I have issues. Basically, I have to prove to myself that I can be one of the best at things I don't like. Similarly, even though I actually find acting rather tedious, even more so back then, I managed to be the only freshman in Drama II in HS, and one of two in the advanced drama play (the other one got in because he looked like a small child). Similarly, all through HS I avoided any leadership position at all in anything.. and then.. then I noticed I was doing that.. and now.. yea.

   It was cute seeing the fear in the new recruits that were doing the testing with me.. expecially in anticipation of "the grate," meaning the wavepool intake that for part of the test we have to jump in right next to... yea.. all the deepguards showed the recruits their scars from it.. I myself definitely have some. It only made me bleed a little bit today though.


   I totally went to sleep when I got home from Wild Rivers today.. and when I woke up I was lying on a steel reserve bottlecap. wtf?


   In other news: last night: I am further convinced that Brandon is totally poser-gay . I wish I had a camera; Crispy and Abby were totally cuddling on the grass, and Brandon was totally like basicalyl trying to spoon her from the other side.. not that there was any lack of room but he was right up against her. Such a freak I swear. And meanwhile Mike the disgusting human was humping this totally plastered girl in the shrubbery. good times good times. I wonder if she remembered it in the morning.


I'm So Indie
   "I am far too indie to read official publications, I hear about all my shows from word of mouth .... omg that is so going in my livejournal." -Me, last night.


   No one comments to my entries anymore.. maybe I really SHOULD make em shorter.

aggienaut: (fish)

   For the extremely concise version of yesterday's activities, check this.

   Additionally I met some friends at "the chocobean" coffee shop to transfer them funds on behalf of someone else as part of a certain secret operation (and no it doesn't involve trafficking of drugs). Apparently they had an aversion to Diedrichs. ::shurg::
   Then I swam laps
   Then we had us a bonfire on capo beach again... it was tight, sitting on the beach with the bonfire, 40 of steel reserve in hand, while Crispy plays his guitar. Even if he WAS playing dashboard songs hehehe.
   Matt told me they are totally hiring at the lumber yard he works at. I am totally going to check it out. He and Laney apparently suddenly broke up yesterday. ::shurg::
   Then we went to a jacuzzi. I don't think any of us actually live in the community where its located but we know the code to get in for some reason.
   Evening concluded with Katie and I getting free taco bell at midnight. Apparently they do this like every night. We didn even need to say anything we just walked up to the window and they handed us three personal-pizzas and two orders of breadsticks (its a taco bell / pizza hut). Then Alyssa, who hadn been out with us that night, randomly showed up... cause you know, the Diedrichs lot is the place to randomly show up at at midnight.

Spotlight on the Diedrichs Crew
   So I realize I'm casually bandying around these people's names like everyone knows who they are, even though _I_ didn't even know almost any of them two weeks ago. And seeing as I like to think that people read my livejournal, and therefore hope that while it may have massively long entries, it at least is not disconcerting like that, I shall explain a bit about the people whose natural habitat is the Diedrichs off La Paz.

   The only one of them I knew more than two weeks ago was Katie D'agistino. Her best friend is Laney, whom I call "Shillaligh" ("shill-ay-lee"). Shillaligh WAS dating this kid Matt, who's pretty for awesome. But he's not to be confused with the OTHER Matt, formerly "the guy with the Steel Reserve & Flogging Molly shirts" (or SRFM). Then there's the two Chrises, Krispy (Chrispy?), and Croa (AKA "Croat")(Suzanne's "Evil Ex"). Apparently I am "K-Dawg," at least according to Laney. Also there is totally Becka ([livejournal.com profile] momentsxwasted), whom I just inspired to write The Diedrichs Crew - In Depth. Otherwise there's other people that come and go, but these are the kids that are ALWAYS at Diedrichs.


Life at the House of Fricke
   So I've been swimming regularly. As a consequence my dad has taken to jokingly inviting me to go swim with them in the ocean at 6am. They really do this. Like once a week or so he and his friends swim a mile in the ocean at 6am. Wacky. In addition they of course do lots of other working otu too, but 6am in the ocean. ::shudder::. Dad runs triathalons you see.
   After dinner the other day dad invited me to try some excellent honey that recently came from one of the hives. It really was particularly exquisite honey. It just struck me a very Fricke moment though... us and our beehives.
   And then that same evening (this is all from day before yesterday, when my only lj entry was the quizes), I notice a black widow spider in a jar on the table. Apparently mother found it at the yarn store she now works at... and of COURSE decided to bring it home as a pet. My family is kinda weird.


   OMG, further proof that COMMIES are REAL ULTIMATE POWER, though you can see other opinions here. The sorority girl one is particularly choice. And of course, pirates have always been strong contenders for real ultimate power.
