County Fair, House of Blues, Work and Laziness....

Tuesday: The day I arrived from San Francisco. Myra and I carpooled to go to the fair in Del Mar. The day was perfectly nice, although it got cold when the sun had set down. Juliene met us there two hours late. While waiting for her, me and Myra drank margaritas at the beer garden. We also ate lunch- ribs and onion flower- and before we knew it, Juliene arrived with her younger sister, Lucie. The day at the fair was nice. We all ate foods that were so fatty and we tried eating (but could not let ourselves finish) the so called "chocolate covered bacon". Moreover, we rode two rides: the octopus and the speed extreme (not quite sure about the latter's name). I got home exhausted at around 8pm and called it a day.

Wednesday: My first day at work as a busser and a server at Eddie's restaurant. While waiting for my test result, which takes five weeks to arrive in the mail, Eddie thought (and myself, i guess) that it would be a good idea for me to work and be around people rather than being alone at home. I took the job as for my personal sake- I need to improve my social skills. Perhaps this job, serving people, will abate my shyness and my being too conscious around crowd. Perhaps it will also improve my communication skills toward everybody.

Thursday: Eddie's show at House of Blues. Prior to going to House of Blues, I visited the bookstore in The Forum in search for magazines that could feed my brain- a nursing magazine, a psychology magazine or anything of that sort- but to no avail. Instead, I came across a book that talks about how to improve someone's social skills. I read some tidbits of it and decided to just order it online. After the bookstore, I came home to change my clothes to look more rock. Abby met up at my place twenty minutes late but luckily, we were on time to get to House of Blues. We parked our car in the funkiest parking structure, I swear. Diane was already waiting out front, and Tiara was there as well. There was hardly anybody inside when we got in. Eddie was the first performer of the night and I was just glad to be there on time. Robyn and Marc arrived during the first song, and Murry and his friend arrived during the third song. I had one long island drink and Abby had two. Diane had beer and wine so was her husband, Jim. We only stayed for less than an hour, and left fifteen minutes after Eddie was done with his show since we could not stand the band after him- their loud screamo music, ugh. So instead, we decided to all go to Eddie's restaurant. We all had fifty percent off on our meals. We ended up having a fantastic time, at least from my point of view.

Today, Friday, was uneventful for me. I went back to House of Blues mid afternoon to get the camera I checked in from Eddie's show last night. The claiming process turned out to be easier than I thought. Downtown San Diego, the area where I was, was rather dirty and full of homeless and riff-raffy people. I caught some heavy traffic on the way home due to the Del Mar County Fair. When I got home, Eddie was about leaving for work. The rest of the day I spent playing video games- not healthy for me. Sigh. I need to change my ways and stick to a stern self discipline. I will start by Monday. Hopefully, I will follow through.
