so la is interesting. its a lot better than i was expecting i guess but maybe my standards are a little off since ive been in brazil and the people i go to school with in nola. but bebel is trying to show me the best time possible and i know im not the easiest house guest what with my long stream of i dont knows and i dont cares and whatevers. the first night was long and interesting and involved a lot of coke. i was so exhausted from not sleeping for more than four hours in a night in about a week that it didnt have too much of the desired effect. perhaps also because of the awkwardness of being in a new place. weve only gone to bars that are outside so far so you can smoke and that is certainly a plus. so yeah. bebel has a nice house in pacific palisades right close to the beach and a mercedes a range rover and a porche suv. her sister(20) is a little bitchy and her brother(17) is a surfer guy. the dog splifton is cute. i got sunburned yesterday but just on my lower back and the back of my right leg and arm. tomorrow we will try to even that out a bit. i miss my car, i really do. its kinda sick but if youve riden in it you know why i love it so much. id say that la is like long island except much more beautiful much richer and much poorer and more cultured. what culture i dont know but its foreign to me. its cold i wish it were a bit warmer but its sunny and beautiful so its tricky. i guess i could live here. i didnt think i would ever say that but i think i could if i knew the right people and had a nice place. i dont like how everything is so far away though.
