returnéd from the city of angels

[hopelesse]

I accomplished a few things on my trip to the west coast.

1. Saw a real-life palm tree just growing right out of the ground!
2. Was informed of how to acquire legal weed via phone app within 30 minutes of touching down
3. Met a blond dude named Blake with an OC accent who was literally carrying around a surfboard (& deferred his acceptance to Harvard Law to "I dunno, take a couple years and like. Keep exploring." Fucking phenomenal. We chilled and listened to Tupac.)
4. Learned that lidocaine patches aren't a great long-term solution, but they're not bad for flare-ups
5. Got hired or whatever

So, yeah, new gig! Mostly doing the same sort of thing, but if I'm more absent than usual, that's why.

Also, unrelated, but I'm really feelin this jam rn

5. :3333333

but I have to say I am most impressed in the sense of "TRULY DID NOT EXPECT" by #2

#1 is always nice too though (what is it like to Actually live among those? i can't imagine it????)

dude i am in a group chat with blake now. this is the most west coast thing i've ever done. (btw, remind me to introduce you to alice, who's going to yale law -- sadly, not til 2020, but she's already desperate to talk to people who aren't, you know, yale :p)

but thank u, thank u :3 i'm doing mostly the same thing but now with an addtl classroom element. baby's first lecturing gig!!

#2 was also an incredible experience tbh. i got into a lyft (because the company comp'd those) driven by a white dude named steven with a mustache and no beard who asked me if i'd been to la before. i said no, and his first response was to tell me about which apps are best for weed delivery. he recommended HERB but said greenly is also ok. what xp is california xp
