Adventurous to say the least.
I had the worst sleep last night. The 2 Swedish guys were packing their bags at 1230am, with the light on (I was the only other one in the room) and I was tired. Because I'm so nice I didn't say anything and let them be. At 1:15 when they finished packing I asked them if I could turn it off and they said yes. I was hoping for a splendid slumber. Ahh.. No. Two new Australian girls in my room came in at 3 presumably after the pub crawl and were conversing loudly with the Swedes. They woke me up. Ugh I hate this!
I woke up at 9 and everyone was taking their sweet ass time in the toilet and I thought the shuttle to the beach would leave at 11.. Jeanine texted me it leaves at 10. It was 9:45. People take so long! Fucking Australian girls. I felt so gross but I did not have time for a shower. I was furious. For breakfast I had a snickers bar, how very Casey Donovan of me.
I said goodbye to Jeanine and hugged her and me and Joyce were off to Santa Monica beach. We reached there and it wasn't very sunny but I tan easily so it was okay. We talked whilst tanning and 2 hours later we got the shuttle back to Hollywood.. Which was 30 minutes late.. That annoyed us too. On the shuttle were 3 Australian girls. The two in front of us were typical fat bogan annoying and the one in the front was typical hippie but she had like 7 luggages I kid you not.
I had a mini nap at the hostel and me, Joyce and her Australian roommate Libby went to go stalk Kim Kardashian who was taping her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Libby reminds me a lot like Rita Ora. On the way I had an iced caramel macchiato and we were waiting for Kim from 330-6 until she showed up.. She had her car take her to the DOOR. She didn't even walk down. I was furious. We immediately called her a whore. Lol.
This girl gave us 2 free tickets to the Jason Derulo concert, who I don't really like, but Joyce does. So I said why not? I couldn't bring my backpack so I gave it to Libby to take back to the hostel. Not going to lie I was very nervous because I didn't know her that well and I incorporated a "trust nobody" scheme upon entering the USA. Inside was my SLR camera.. But if we walked back we wouldn't have made it?
Turns out we had to walk back anyway because Joyce needed id. Libby wasn't there. I became worried about my goods..
At 645 when we needed to be in the concert area, Kim walked out and took photos with fans. The fucking bitch. Ugh!! Oh well the concert was great and definitely worth it. I have to admit I don't like Jason Derulo but his songs are catchy and me and Joyce had fun.
We left the concert a bit disheartened about Kim but I assured her that we needed to stop lingering on about it. We had dinner at a cute diner and we got a bit deep about boys, love and relationships. I'm a bit fucked up in that area but it was great to have someone caring and understanding like her to just listen to you with open ears. Upon leaving Australia I bottled up all those stories about boys until now and I just let it out. Ultimately there's some people back home I wish I could just delete and forget. I often think on this trip, "what if I don't come back?". I don't think people would miss me, because I wouldn't miss them.. A new life in your hands. Who wouldn't take it?
Oh and Libby didn't end up taking my stuff haha, she went makeup shopping instead. Tbh, it wasn't that I didn't trust her, I did but it was the first instance where my limits had to be tested. If she was sketchy then I wouldn't have given her my bag in the first place. She's a nice honest girl.
Being in a hostel you realise that all the other solo travellers can have similar or a multitude of personal issues. I feel like this is therapy for me, talking to neutral parties like a counsellor about your life.
I'm about to go gay clubbing at a new nightclub opening on Hollywood/Highland with some peeps from another hostel. I'm so excited. I hope I make out and hook up and meet some cute new boys. I need a refresher.
Budget:
$10 shuttle
$4 Starbucks
$7 dinner
$4 pizza lunch
= $25.
I'll add the nightclub entry and taxis to tomorrow's budget seeing as I don't know how much it'll be.
