nye in paris

paris flight leaves in 5 hours. i havent packed. sleepy. tired. hungry. i just want to be there.

miami

it's a whole different universe. its kinda like LA but with lots of italians and cubans, but with a lot of pastel colored buildings. shopping is wierd. theres a lot of bling. imagine forever 21 hoochie style, but with screen prints on top of screen prints on top of rhinestones on top of embroidery. i somehow managed to find a few cool spots. thanks superfuture and univ. stopped by univ, arrive, base, dwr, and base annex. got a dress at arrive, a dress at base annex and a few little notebooks and crap. i love base annex.

for my birthday i hung out with a few hairdressers at a place called pawn shop. its the shizzy. its an old pawn shop converted into a bar. lounge areas were made from an airstream, an old bus, and an airplane. good music, good drinks. if i ever come back to miami thats where you'll find me. we also went to a love hate which is owned by the guy who started miami ink. funk and soul all night. fun times.

it was cool. i even went to the beach here. nice water.

pre birthday

so i got here to miami 1am. i was supposed to get here at 8:40pm. i somehow missed my flight. well, it was at 11:15am, i got to the airport at 10:50am. i thought my flight was at noon. had to catch the next flight...it was delayed. then this morning at 9 am started my certification. the written part wasnt so bad, the lecture really made me nervous. thank god its over. now i'm getting ready for dinner, and later i will celebrate my birthday with a bunch of strange hairdressers. 8 hours and 45 min till i'm 25. but here it is 5 hours and 45 min.

waiting

i'm at the newark airport. its very close to nyc, but it would take 45 minutes to get there and 45 minutes to get back. i had a lay over of 4 hours and 45 minutes. if i went to nyc i would have to carry my bag, only be able to visit for an hour then get back. it wouldnt be worth it. and i might miss my flight. so i have been here for a total of 2 hours. i have two more to go. sucks. then i get home at 8:30. i dont want to work.

last bulletin from europe

i'm actually leaving now. that last post has been waiting since yesterday. i havent had internet this last time in berlin. bummer. i'm still going on no sleep. i went to a club last night called 25. it was interesting. it was inside of a little shack in mitte. the doorway has no sign. it just says 25. the club openned up friday and will not be closing until tuesday. amazing. it was super fun. i felt homeless there. they even had trashcans lit with fire. me and my german friends met a girl at 25. she invited us back to her place. i stayed there till 6 am. i had to leave at that time because i had my plane to catch at 9 am. they tried convice me to stay in germany forever. i wanted to, but i have major commitments..like running my salon.

i forgot my dramamine. fuck. i hope i dont throw up all over the place. hopefully the stewardesses have something for me.

berlin again

back in berlin. finally got here at 4pm yesterday. bummer. i took an early flight so that i could have time in the day to do other things. well at least i got to do a little shopping. bought some skincare products. they have caudalie here and its so much less than in america. and then a got a shirt. had some dinner, went back to the flat i'm staying at and took a nap. woke up at 10:30 went out again. got to watergate at 1:30am. it was the raverest place ever. it was really nice inside. cool led lighting on the ceiling. cheap drinks. awesome. did'nt leave there until 6am. so much fun. germans really love their techno. it was bright outside when i got back. today i went to the schmerz pain exhibit again at the hamburger bahnhof. i'm glad i did because there were some things that i missed the last time. tomorow i am heading back home. sadness. i sort of miss home though. i think asian food in america is so much better than the asian food here. first thing i'm going to do is go to pho saigon. i have not had vietnamese food in a month.

bristol

this morning, i jumped on the coach to get to bristol...well i missed my coach. had to buy another ticket, finally got here at 12.30pm. went shopping today with tommy in bristol. he has work. i'm here at work with him. and i think we are going out tonight. i have no idea where. yesterday i went to the tate modern, met alexa there. had dinner then did her hair along with her roomate paulina. tommy got his hair cut first, in the morning. tomorow i'm heading back to london. i'm coming back to san diego in just a few days. bummer. be back monday.
