Encinitas is lovely. Just lovely! When I drive around I can't believe how fast I forgot how lovely it is! It may be December 22nd and many people are shoveling snow and huddled around fireplaces, but us San Diegoians are sitting at the beach in bikinis and eating lunch. Well, not me. I read a book while my toes were submerged in the wa
rm top sand. Warm breezes floated by, muffling the sounds of annoying children. This is the part I love about coming 'home.' The part I don't love? It has changed so much! I wanted to visitmy elementary school and I got lost on the roads because roads have been added, houses been built, and entire neighborhoods are standing where there used to just be greenhouses. I did visit my pre-school, and thankfully that hasn't changed.
My favorite record store has moved into the the smallest space and no longer carries as much 'new' music. Maybe if I go eat a burrito my outlook on life will cheer up.
I did take a bath. That helped my outlook on life, despite my overly pink childhood bathroom.
I have not seen many people yet. I did see Amanda, Justin, Ryan, and an awesome a girl named Bri. We went to a 'bar' in Del Mar that was supposed to be 'off the hook.' Instead we got a mostly empty sports bar with a bitchy waitress. We chatted but soon fled to Amanda's Grandmother's house in the Del Mar hills. More talking ensued and I finally got home around 1:30am. The whole drinking with friends then having to drive home thing stinks. I like being able to walk home, take a bus, or a 20$ cab from almost anywhere to get to my bed at night. But until San Diego gets smaller and easier to navigate it looks like I'll be drinking in moderation and spending hours in the car driving.
If you squint your eyes you should be able to tell who is who.
