this has been an amazing week.
gabriel took the week off from school, and we spent all of our time together. we had fun doing anything and everything.
on Sunday, we did mushrooms. it was the best trip i've ever had. we decided to walk to his cousin zack's house, near boulevard. we walked a long time, haha. we stopped to swing on a playground. we giggled and laughed like little kids. we smelled each other and held hands. we ran to the Lee Monument in the middle of the round-a-bout. that thing is HUGE! we sat on its north step's, and could see shitgo shining through the trees, on broad street. we kept walking and walking and walking. walking by huge, fancy houses on monument avenue. funeral homes, really. we went to 7-11 and had no idea what we wanted. after we chose our drinks, we still had no idea what to do. we needed to leave! haha. we sat on the curb and talked, waiting for zack to come home.
we finally met up with zack... and things got bad. he trapped us in his filthy car and was super clingy and wouldn't let us leave. finally, i screamed out "i want to walk!!", once we got near the monroe park campus. we both stopped tripping for a while after that. we got back home, and smoked weed. we talked and talked for hours. the kitchen was from a funhouse. we played with the cats. we just had fun.
monday was my birthday. i am now 20 years old! but my dad seems to think i'm 21, ha. we visited my mom. went to gabriel's... and he surprised me with a cake!! and hats and scarves!! his mom got me a much-needed x-acto knife. his family sang happy birthday to me. :) gabriel spent the night. we was supposed to leave the next day... butttt... things changed, haha.
on wednesday, we drove up to charlottesville to see caribou! the opening act was trendy and stupid and they just sucked. caribou was great, with the exception of how LOUD they were. so loud. too loud. gabriel told me that the ringing in your ears after a concert or what not is actually the sound of the cells in your ears dying. that's disgusting. and that's what was happening. irreversible damage. :( but it was still a great show.
on friday, something amazing happened. we got our hands on LSD. gabe's friend, reilly, also bought a tab. g and i had 4, all together. reilly took his, and he said nothing happened. we waited for 2 hours... still, he said nothing. we decided to take one tab each. i went into the shower, thinking nothing was going to happen. i was kind of pissed... i thought i was out $40. things got really weird in the shower, haha. i couldn't tell if i was tripping or not. i thought it was my mind fucking with me. gabriel felt weird too, but he thought it was the same thing. finally, we decided we were actually tripping, yay!!
sam and will and jessica came over soon after that. we were definately tripping. we smoked out of the bong. sam took his tab that i got him. he and will told us to take our other tab. so we did. we walked outside. i wanted to go to the playground. but suddenly, i couldn't remember how to get there, hahaha. things got REALLY intense, and gabe and i decided that we wanted to be by ourselves.
we went up into my room. our ears were buzzing and lights were everywhere. the walls were breathing and faces looked weird and we had no idea what was going on. this was definately not mushrooms. we started freaking out. we were afraid of the outside but we didn't want to stay inside. AHH!!
eventually, we went outside. things got SO much better. will told us to walk to his house, on laurel and idlewood. i've been there a few times before. i've gotten there by car and by bike. i knew how to get there. but for some reason, things were not clicking. we ended up in the ghetto. we were in Randolph. at night. groups of black guys kept making noises at us and trying to freak us out. phonecalls for directions were not making any sense. it was kind of scary. we were prime targets to get mugged. white kids on LSD walking in the ghetto at night, haha. finally, we stopped by someone's front porch. this huge black lady and 2 white boys in suits tried to help us find our way. the lady got up out of her chair... and i think that was the first time in several years. the boys in suits had a map, and they tried to show it to us. i was on fucking lsd, it made no sense. haha. we decided to just head back to a place where we were familiar.
then, sam called. "hey stupid, look behind you". it was will and sam! we met up and started walking towards brown's island for the folk festival. i had to stop to pee. i went to this place called 821 Cafe. it was amazing. walking into the door, a surge of music pulsed through my entire body. the lighting, temperature, noise, everything about that place was awesome. i went into the bathroom. it was pretty gnarly, but i didn't mind. the walls were all made out of this chalkboard material... and there was a huge spot open for me. I'M TRIPPING BALLS! where am i?, i wrote on the wall. then i left.
we continued our walk to the festival. we got there, and gabriel bought me cotton candy. it was awesome. looked like my hat! we all sat in the grass and just... talked. sam and will met up with this kid, scott. gabriel and i were about to kiss, when BAM! this HUGE, dark, silhouette ran into us. i screamed. terrified! it was a toddler, haha. he touched my head. i forgot that i was wearing my fuzzy pink hat. then, the kid started running in circles around us. children are really scary when you're tripping. it was weird, we basically bypassed all of the other steps, we kissed, and BAM! we had a kid.
g and i then walked back home. and i drew a lot!!
drawing was so much fun. we watched jurassic park and critiqued the hell out of it. hahaha. it was impossible to sleep... we tripped for about 15 hours. i think we fell asleep around 5:30AM.
we woke up by 12, and got lunch at Pearly's. while we waited, we drew!
that one is g's.
after that, we drove out to maymont. we climbed our tree and smoked weed. we drew more in my sketchbook. then, a couple intruded upon us! that sucked. i heard the guy's voice, and i realized i recognized it. it was david... that really annoying "can i have a beer?" kid and his girlfriend, mary. g and h did not back down... we were not going to get out of OUR tree. soon, they left.
we walked around maymont some more, and then we decided to go. we saw a sign for "James River Northbank Park", so we checked it out. we went to "Texas Beach"... this really cool beachy-looking part of the river. i wish we found it this summer, but that's okay.
hmmmm... on sunday, we fed ducks at Byrd Park. then g had to leave. :( it was sad, and i miss him, but i know that we'll be fine. i can't wait to see him again!!
this past week was amazing.
i love tripping.
i love gabriel.
and i love the fall weather!!
