Heals The Original Dryness

go me!

so i actually had a social life tonight! it was really refreshing! i went to the ssc company picnic and ate lots and lots of food, and then actually played SOFTBALL which i hadn't played since elementary school probably, and i managed to get like a base hit almost every time, it was really exciting, and i ALMOST got to score, i was on third with two outs and the batter is stupid and pops a fly and the other team caught it. we went thru so many innings with batters hitting fly balls and the other team just catching them. you had to hit grounders to get anywhere, which is what i was doing :) and i managed to actually contribute as an outfeilder a bit, scooping up rolling balls and throwing them in the right direction with all my might and throwing my shoulder out probably but i got like double jointed shoulders so thats understandable. but yeah, i didn't suck horribly! which i was totally expecting to! it was great! not that anyone would have cared, theater people don't play sports, that was acknowledged from the begining, but it was a nice feeling of pride for me.

then fireworks and bouldering and playing pool at the rush. i wish i could have seen fireworks up closer, but the people i was with weren't up for that, so i got a social experience instead and it was great.

santa cruz's were kinda fun, cause theres no offical display cause they're actually illegal over here, so it just ends up being all these renegade fireworks being set off on the beach that creates this great vast chaotic constant show, and we were unfortunately pretty far from them and my friend was complaining that he was unimpressed, but i enjoying it.
would have stayed out there longer, we climbed down the cliff and were sitting on boulders on the beach, and had to boulder climb our way over to some stairs to get back up the hill. usually you can climb over to a neighboring beach, but it was high tide. so we went on a little adventure, and i wasn't wearing the right shoes. it was fun
i really wish we could have gotten more up close with the fireworks but the people i was with werent up for that. we went to the rush inn instead and that was fun. played pool, truth or dare dice poker, danced to music, hung out. i don't go to the rush during the year, but during the summer its like the unofficial hang out place for ssc, so its filled with theater people and its great :)

i hadn't been to a bar in a while...
