Adventures in Los Angeles...

So my sweet friend Mary and I ventured into LA for an event last week.  Here's how our night progressed...



Starting on an interesting note, Mary was to meet me in the parking lot of my work, I ran a quick errand, and as I was heading back to my work, a girl backs into me in the parking lot.  I call Mary to meet me across the street instead as the newly permitted driver's mother gives me their information.  We then hit the road.

Being in LA, we decided to make a little event of it, and hit up the Samuel French bookstore, which is an actor's heaven if you were unaware.  APPARENTLY it closes at 6pm, and we arrived at 6:10.  Failure number 2.

After trying to pull into a couple parking lots, and failing, we finally stop at a McDonald's so I could change for the party.  We take over the bathroom for a good 20 minutes, grab quick drinks, then head back to the car where I model shoe choices for Mary.  The man standing next to his car next to us helped us choose the over the knee boots.  (Success #1?)  The awkward was awesome.  He liked the boots over the booties and the pumps.  I mean, he was by a nice car, I had to listen right?

As we get back into the car, this MASSIVE BEETLE was on Mary's leg.  We're both babies when it comes to bugs, so we just jump out, hoping it'll think that looked cool and jump out too.  Negative.  We finally had to suck it up, and flick that little bugger out of the vehicle.

So we FINALLY head to the party, and after searching for parking FOREVER, we find a spot down a dark road, and we FINALLY make it.  Spent most of the night with one of my new favorite people, Megan, and it was a success.  (Success #2)  Watched some guy in a cheesy football jersey who claimed to be a 'manager' tell her he liked her 'situation', and it was brilliance.   

Okay, maybe everything is just more entertaining to me.  But I was laughing like the entire next day too...  My friends are the best.
