Tales of the Trypt

Alright, so I'll start out with the trippiest things of the past few days. Tonight I went to call Kaitlyn and accidentally mixed up two numbers without knowing it....
"Mike's (something inaudible), you fuck 'em we stuff em"
"um..... I think I got the wrong number, is Kaitlyn there?"
"Who's this?"
"Dan"
"Motherfucker, what the fuck are you doing calling Kaitlyn?"
"COLTON??? What the fuck are you doing answering Kaitlyn's phone"
"Well the phone was doing a double ring, so our lines must be crossed"
Anyways, I refused to believe that their lines were crossed, but he managed to convince me. Weird goddamn coincidence though, except that I didn't actually dial Kaitlyn's number, but then again... I definitely didn't dial Colton's number. Small world.....

So I went to Victoria, and while me, Lindsay, Melissa, Andy, and Andrew are walking to the club where Lorin is playing at, Melissa tells me she saw me on Speaker's Corner on tv one day. Me and Lindsay proceed to trip out
(cue flashback)
One day when I was taking my TESOL course in Victoria back in October, we were walking around downtown and I decided to rant at Speaker's Corner. While I was standing there thinking of something to say. This cracked out (from what we could deduce, mostly from the fact that she was slightly frothing at the mouth) meth-girl comes outta nowhere and starts acting out some skit with me in front of the camera without realizing I hadn't deposited a dollar yet. Me and Lindsay are totally confused but after a minute, the girl totally changes gears and starts talking to us and she tells us she's lost and doesn't know where's she's going or what she wants. She's totally cracked out, but I decide to just ride it out and try to help. Now I'd be willing to guess that 95% of the people in downtown Victoria that day would've just gotten the hell out of there (or worse), so she's damn lucky she decided to approach me and Lindsay, and not someone else. She was talking very ambiguously and it was obvious she wasn't exactly level-headed, so I just told her to go somewhere in nature and get off the streets so she could sit down and figure out what she wanted. I suggested doing gown to the ocean. She proceeded to hold my hands and thank me and such and within 10 minutes of approaching us, she was gone again. Me and Lindsay still talk about that encounter. But here's the weird thing: to my knowledge, nobody inserted a loonie into the camera-box, so how I ended up on Speaker's Corner is a mystery to me. I'm gonna put on my detective hat and try to track down the footage and I'll see what turns up.

So after Melissa tells us this and me and Lindsay stop tripping out, some of our crew goes into a 7-11 while me and Lindsay are outside. While we're waiting, I spot a guy that I'd had an English course with in kamloops a year earlier. I trip out again but I didn't approach the guy because I didn't know his name and he wasn't too hip anyways, plus he wouldn't recognize me anyways with my hair so long. Not even a minute later, Lindsay recognizes a guy that she hadn't seen since grade 9 (from Salmon Arm). What the fuck is going on here?
And if that's not enough, during the Lorin show, me and Andrew recognized a guy that I met once in Golden, but I can't remember his last name. A few years older, first name John, tall, red hair, last name starts with an M.

So when we got to the club, there was house music playing all the way till Lorin came on, so it was tough to get into a good state of mind. But I did get to talk to him for a few minutes before his set. He's so friendly, we were totally chatting it up, but he didn't even realize it was me til I reminded him (we've met before, but as usual, my hair length keeps me incognito these days). Took me a while to really get stoked on his set, but after the first hour, I was getting into it, and then I heard some whole new shit that got me really into it. At one point, he blew the speakers, that was pretty rad, but he got them going again. For an encore he played an original (I think) drum n bass track of his that got me thrashing and flailing for the last few minutes. Overall, it was pretty good. Not insanely rad, but then again, I'm still new at this whole straight edge thing and it's not easy to be straight edge in a club. When i saw Lorin in November, I was on a little bit of acid, but it was also a really cool crowd, with good vibes. But this crowd totally lover Lorin too, people went nuts as usual. It was cool to be with friends for sure. We went to an after-party (a first for me, surprisingly), but it wasn't that great, kinda weird actually. I took a bunch of pics of the show, plus I got a roll coming back tomorrow hopefully so I'll be posting pics soon.

I had the most intense dream last night. It probably won't mean much if I describe it, but I think it took place over several days and had two different settings and like 3-4 twists. Still burned into my memory too. My dreams are getting more and more memorable and intense, I'm liking where this is going.

So they fired the other dishwasher at White Spot, I've got 36 hours coming up this week. Guess I can't complain, but all but one shift is 7am-3pm (wretched) and one night I get off around 10 and have to work at 7 the next morning. 9 hours between. sweet, dude! Got my first paycheck. $280. Now I can finally afford all that cocaine I've always dreamed of...*sigh*.

Last but not least.... well actually, this is most likely the least important, but I made my first fruit smoothie tonight. Grapes, kiwi, frozen strawberries & blueberries, in cranberry juice. Delicious and nutritious!

ok, enough of me....
