September 16th, 2012 California trip 2

Sunday, September 16th, 2012
----------------------------------------
I was just about to say WTF was I going to write?  And then I remember I was telling you about Cali, lol.  So back to Thursday… So we woke up early and found out they charged us that much because of “incidentals”.  Brian called the bank who told us to ask if we could check out and back in so we tried and the front guy was like, “if you had said something last night we could have done it that way but it’s too late now.”  So that sucked.  We ended up walking around the town, and found this grocery store where we got stuff with Brian’s food stamps.  I had decided I loved the weather in cali the night before, but as we walked back to the hotel, despite the financial crap, I felt so peaceful.  Without the dang Florida humidity, (well, south FL), it was so much nicer and so beautiful!  When we got back to the hotel, Brian’s friend Ryan Risch came up and hung out for a while.  His wife Kirby was still asleep, but I met her, Ben, and Vivian Hopkins a while later before they went out for breakfast.  Kirby is pregnant and looks kind of like Christina Ricci and an Olsen twin.  She is very nice, too.  Ryan is unique looking lol.  Apparently he’s very anal about cleanliness but I don’t think that’s a flaw necessarily.  Ben Hopkins is fucking adorable.  I’m trying to stop cursing, but Ben Hopkins merits that emphasis lol.  He is just cute, cute, cute and so friendly!  His wife, Vivian, is also nice.  They have been married 10 years already and together since high school.  Vivian has an allergy to gluten and so eating is a pain in the neck for her.  She told me I should check into it too so we’ll see.  So, my mom ended up calling me and I told her about the money issue so by the time wedding rehearsal came around, my dad had wired us $200.  That was nice but now I owe $200 and $175 my mom gave me for my b’day to do fun stuff on the trip with I still never got to do a thing with!  It just pisses me off how screwed we were.  After wedding rehearsal (which Ryan and Chelse were an hour late for---it’s called Sullivan time).  After the rehearsal, we went and got the money and then met up with everyone at this Thai food place for rehearsal dinner.  God it was so amazing.  While everyone was talking about how stuffed we were (seriously, food just kept coming!)  Ryan Sullivan’s dad slipped Brian $100.  He had magically heard about the money issues and so he slipped him $100.  We had to leave because Brian was almost in tears from the gesture.  So, then we went back to our hotel and I fell asleep and Brian went out with his buds.  I woke up like around 2am and he came and got me.  I went to a gay bar with everyone called Menagerie.  That was fun but I wasn’t there long and we went back upstairs to bed.

(this happened on September 6th, 2012 but she never wrote the date, just the date it was when she wrote it.  Sorry for the confusion.)
