     12:10pm  I woke up around noon today at the hippie house. Like at eleven fifty. Amani and I are walking to the bank and the bakery right now. I just remembered I have to take pictures of this place.

                     Just took a picture of Bullard Street downtown.  

     12:32pm  Amani and I walked to the Rejuvenation Coffee Shop where she works. She bought me a delicious strawberry muffin and a coffee. They have this great quote in the coffee shop. It says, "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." Good quote.

     1:50pm  I'm here smoking a cigarette back at the hippie house.

     2:00pm  I left the house. The cool house with the flag and peace sign. With the overgrown yard. They don't cut it on purpose. They just got a citation recently, though. I'm going to walk to my school and type my stuff up. I had a muffin for breakfast, but I'm still hungry. I know, I'll take a shot of my MuscleBlast.

     2:04pm  I forgot to tell you about beautiful Amani. She even gave me a bracelet that says THIS IS ZODIAC SPEAKING.

     2:19pm  I am at the library now. I'm going to go type my stuff up.

     8:20pm  I had a long day on the computer. I typed up like seven days and sent some emails. It was awesome. I had a good productive day. I hope something good comes out of it.

                    I am only seven days away from being caught up.

     8:38pm  I am leaving the school. I smoked a cigarette outside.

     8:49pm  I went to the La Cocina Mexican Restaurant and hit the girl up for some food. She told me that her boss wasn't here, but offered me some change. I told her, "I don't need any money. I wanted some gasoline for my stomach. Some food." She repeated that her boss wasn't there.

     9:02pm  I'm going to try at the Adobe Springs Cafe. Let me try my luck there.

     9:05pm  The lady gave me some bullshit excuse.

     9:23pm  I am going to hit up the Dairy Queen. I am desperate.

                   I tried and didn't score at the Dairy Queen, damnit. I see a Blimpies down here.

     9:30pm  The Blimpies is closed. They close early. At eight. That sucks. Maybe they'll hook me up with a hotdog at the Chevron.

                   Scratch that. The Subway here is closed too. And they don't sell hotdogs at the Chevron. That sucks.

                   I walked up to the Snappy Mart and I'm actually going to spange for food. I am hungry.

     9:44pm  Alex hooked me up with some change for a burrito. I appreciate it, brother.

                    Twenty six cents so far.

     9:52pm  This brother hooked me up with a hit of weed outside the Snappy Mart. I appreciate it, bro.

                    That guy got all pissed off at me for giving him credit. He told me there was only one person who could do that.

                    Disregard that last contribution when I type it up(but it's still there, muhaha).

     10:25pm  I went to the Snappy Mart and the same homeless guy who gave me a hit of weed, gave me some change for an apple pie. I'm going to walk to the skatepark and see if I can crash under the half-pipe ramp. Or, I'm going to see if I can find that abandoned house again.

     10:44pm  I walked to Penny Park, to see if I could find a place to crash. At the entrance to the park I saw these people walking and I asked them, "Can I tell you guys a really interesting story?" They told me they were walking to the Snappy Mart, so I followed. This one girl wouldn't listen to me one bit. She kept interrupting. She ended up walking off and I told the guy, "Well, can I tell you my story?" The guy seemed to be more interested than she was. He told me, "I feel obligated to follow her."

     11:09pm  I am underneath the half-pipe at the skatepark now. I hope there aren't any bugs down here. There probably is, but I don't care.

     12:02am  At first I thought I'd crash under the ramp at the skatepark. I was lying there and I heard bugs crawling around, so I got out. I came looking in the neighborhood for that house I crashed in the first night I was here. I walked by this playground and I'm telling the kids here my story. They even offered me a beer.

     12:13am  What were you girl's names? Alyssa and Annette.

 

                   I got a picture of them kissing on a dare. And Ralph hooked me up with a beer. These kids listened to my story good.

     1:05am  I found the house. It was really close to that playground. I'm going to crash out.

Next day..
