so the long-ass entry i meant to send out ages ago...last last Sunday to be exact was saved after my 20 mins of net ran out RIGHT as i was going for teh 'publish' button!
to ass to the string of bad luck i have dropped my new watch and broken it...droped my sunglasses and broken THEM, and umm thats it reallyl
i had SO much fun being poor once i got out of the bad mood. i met alot more pople...you know, once the group you've gotten to know and REALLY began liking takes off to teh next city (which is inevitable and usdusally doesnt suprise me anymore, but did this once) i met a slew of good peeps including this dude Brian from T dot (holla!) and Alex from NY/Russia, Anya from Russia and Jess from New Zealand...good times. ate alot of pancakes, and frankly dont want to again for some while
now in Vancity its the third day and me and Colleen have gone to a theme park and rode GREAT coasters...and last night we went to a bar she promised i could go to and i rode a mechanical bull...twice! i was GOOD!- little weird when people took pictures...but hey...not too bad, at least i didnt ahev my SHIRT OFF...for a bart ab...geez people amaze me.
i have some money, conviced visa to let me have some trafer it to my account and then put my credit card back on hold. so, im good,. see you in a wee
on BTW mom and dad - i fly in at like 11pm...not the afternoon!

last night was AWESOME - for awhile at least.
met all these Québec people who could barely speak any english, so i practiced ma francais all night long...we went out to a few different bars, and finally found this fucking awesome HUGE hip hop bar...packed tight full of people!!! GREAT music ....$20 cover...oops.
so short version of this is right here: we left our stuff in a pile in a corner...i go back an hour later after dancing through the crowd with a few people i met...GREAT time - my wallet has bee taken out...everything i need is gone...visa, ALL the money i have to my name (and i mean, i couldnt make a phone call had to walk home) my bank card, sin, license, etc....fucked.
sooooo, today i spent on the phne with my parents, the bank, everything tired and crying and horrid feeling -still am! and ummm...yeah.
im pretty lucky actually, have my passport and my ticket home...thats better than nothing-so you wont be hearing from me until i arrive in Vancity at Colleens place as i have no money-the girl at teh fron tdesk gave me 20mins free internet.
Im okay...a relative ive never met lives here, dad made me call her -shes cool! ,anyway...borrowed money from my parenst through her, so i can eat and possibly change the date of my flight home

so, after only arrivng at the wrong greyhoud depot, taking 2 city buses without a clue meetin gonly horrid rude locals all of whom have no idea how to get around this city either (including all but one bus driver) i found the hostel ebing 2 hours late.

i have arrived my one and only day in LA, and here i am already in a library using a computer, what does that say about it?
I'm staying in Hollywood near Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset blvd.
Going to a show at the chinese theatre tonoight, took some photos on the walk of fame and already eneded up on T.V. i think that pretty much sums up what there is to do here anyhow, so i'm good!
On to San Fran man!

so yesterday i spent the day by myself in old town...its like lower fort garry -but the people just dress up , they dont act. left that pretty quick (boooring) and searched for this bazaar where i ended up buying a cool bracellet. smelled fresh made tortillas everywhere and didnt buy ONE! (good for me!) then i hopped a train to the Gaslampo Quarter wherei chilled out and saw a movie then i met this crazy street-dude who made me a paper flower out of a napkin...i loved it, we walked and talked...he seems to like to get in fights and go to jail - he also has a 25 year old daughter and his dad had him at 14 and has killed off 6 of his sons doing dodgy work...like i said, crazy.
anyhoo at night at teh hostel i FINALLY met cool s - sisters from Mexico/ Texas and an English from near London, we went out to a Hooka Bar downtown and ate food and met some guys.
sorry, this is very rushed....i have 2 minutes...i have booked a hostel for a night in LA i am leaving Wednesday as i realized yesterday i'

I'm SICK, yuck...
But that will not stop my sight seeing!!!
it DID make me a bit antisocial yesterday night, as i had no desire to shout over music at people, so i got ready for a night on teh town by myself. Figured, hit the Gaslamp Quarter, have a martini, write in my journal, whatever... get aall decked out...and what time do buses stop at OB? why 10pm of course! so...my plan was foiled as i can afford a taxi rideback, so i ended up with a crazy night at starbucks with me and a cappucino! then i went out with this girl Aisha for a martini on our street.
Today i will venture out to all ends of the city and TRY my hardest to hook up with Patrick and/or Mica before i leave.
Attempts to work for accomodation in San Fran arent doing well, so i figure, fuck it...i want time to walk around the city anyhow, and its one of the major places i wanted to see.
Now im just struggling with the decision as whether or not to stop in LA to document the crazy Newport beach rich people, or to just bypass it completely. I could go either way on the walk of fame too really dont care...
okay off i go!
