Day 38

Zero day in tehachapi

We stayed the night at jennys and woke up early. Immediately went to the cfe which had TONS of baked goods. I got a bun filled with sausage, egg, and cheese, chocolate crossiant, and a spinach/feta crossiant. Devoured the entire plate in no time. We headed back to Jenny’s with shitty Chinese buffet on our minds. We hung around Jenny’s until 11 and then we headed to the shitty Chinese place. I’ve never been really to a buffet and it was glorious. I only had one plate but it was big. Everyone else put down two plates. There was ice cream too so I got two cups of chocolate vanilla swirl. So so so so good. We then went to Walmart and got part of our chores done. I got town clothes aka a tube top and some shorts. It’s ultralight baby, basically no weight. I also got a small comb after reevaluating some of pictures. A girl needed one badly. We then headed back and grabbed a hitch very quickly. We then got invited to TK pizza for a birthday for one of the guys in trail. We of course had to pregame so we went to American legion bar. Normally you have to know a veteran that served in a foreign war but they did not care whatsoever. Bobby had sent me some money after I got broken up with with instructions to get a hurricane shot which involves taking a tequila shot, drinking a beer, getting someone to fling water into your face and then slap you. I got Caleb to do it. He tapped my face softly before so I thought it wasn’t going to be too bad but after I got splashed the man slapped the shit outta me. It really wasn’t that bad but I’ve never been slapped before so it was shocking. We did it outside as well but had to let all the scary looking men know that I had consented to being slapped by a man and it wasn’t domestic violence. We then had a round of shots and a pitcher of beer. This would set the tone of the night. 9 shots and two pitchers of beer cost $42 which felt like we were robbing them. We then headed over to TKs for the party. Drank and chatted and then went back to the American legion. And goddamit we fucking partied. On our way there I did get bushed (not really I just had bad balance) into a bush by Caleb as I tried the ole “do you know George bush” joke and it backfired on me. But anyway, I genuinely don’t know what I talked about in any of my conversations at the American legion but I know I was the most social I have been in awhile. Alcohol will do that to you. I know I talked to Ella, rock licker and a couple others but no idea about what. I was too many beers deep and no idea how many shots tbh. I bought rock licker a shot and took it with him as it was his birthday. Again the shots were cheap asf. We were dancing and I was probably talking to much. The music wasn’t loud enough so I would scream over to the bar tender to turn it up which he would smile and sadly not turn it up. Around 10:30pm Ben came up to me and told me he was leaving and I knew I had to go. If I stayed longer I would’ve probably blacked out and I couldn’t do that. I’ve become a lighter weight than o was before. Truly impeccable. So off me and the bard went locking arms skipping down the street in the dark giggling as he tries to keep me upward. Again no idea what our conversation was during that time but all I know was we were giggling and gaggling. I did fall once again in like slow motion but got back up like the trooper I am. We got back to Jenny’s and I downed an entire water bottle and drunkinly ate a garnola bar to hopefully combat the hangover the next day. Spinning, I fell into a deep sleep and that was our night. Great fucking day! Best part was I had no worries, no anxiety, no sadness or annoyances, just partying like it was 2016🤪🤪(I was in high school in 2016…I did not fucking party at all).
