(October 18th, 2014.)
Melissa literally didn’t finish playing til around 4am. I had blacked
out again an she had to wake me up so that I would go get in the bed. It was
had to go to sleep for a few hours but eventually I dozed off.
I was awoken by three different alarms that I ignored cause I was
thinking “I have time to meet up with Keia to go to this event.” Since she
texted me around 11pm last night asking if I wanted to go with her. An naturally
I don’t put my phone on ring so it was on vibrate and I didn’t feel it while I
was asleep on the couch. I ended up texting her late & kept constantly
texting her in the morning when I finally got up cause it was 9:30am-ish. She
then texted me back saying yeah. So I rushed to go catch the earliest bus to
get to the train station to meet her. Surprise, surprise Renee was at the bus
stop. We chatted for a while about school & what not til we made it to the
station. An talked more about some guy she was seeing for she had to let the
other guy go for he was weird and a little odd. We had to cut our conversation
short for she had to get off at the next station to head to the school to do
homework. She thought I was going there as well but sadly no, so I told her to
just text me later when she had a chance. I then kept texting Keia I wasn’t far
from the station where her apartment was..but she had already caught a train an
was downtown at WestEnd. So I had to stay on the crowded train til I met up
with her at West End. Once we met up she really didn’t know much about the
event only the fact that there was free food and music. So it was a really “why
the hell not go, it’s free” kinda vibe going. As we waited for the next train
we needed to catch to get us close to Irving where this event was taking place,
a lot of homeless people kept asking us for change. *sigh* Had to keep
reminding myself we were in the downtown depth area of Dallas where a lot of
homeless and weird people either want money, food, or a sad attempt to flirt
with you when there really old guys in wheelchairs or with canes. We were both
happy the train had arrived for there was another homeless guy eye balling us
all creepy like so we dashed on. It was a lot of stops we had to pass, but once
we got off it was a really long walk. Having to pass a lot of fancy apartment
complexes, going down steps, and literally having to walk around the big
freaking lake. Which was really beautiful, but I would never get to close to it
for the water was deadly deep. (I can’t swim okay) We had to follow a crowd of
people through the grassy like parking lot to find the entrance of the event.
The sign read “Cultivate Festival” by Chipotle. I thought it was cool, and then
we thought we had to pay for people kept pausing at the front of the long line.
But they were only doing bag checks. Here’s where the fun part came in. We got
the map thingy (I call it that for it had extra stuff in it and it was really
thick ass paper) & we had to go around to different stands or displays to
learn certain things about how Chipotle used natural ingredients to make their
food. During all this we did also try free drink stands, a stand that gave me a
free shirt (think the drink brand was called Naked), got a cool wine bag from
one stand with information in it, got free coconut ice cream, free guacamole
with chip when having to go through one display (learning how they make their guacamole),
and free Chocolate Chip Dough Ice Cream by Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. Also we
received a free Guacamole pass at Chipotle & when we got all our stamps in
the thing we got a free Chipotle pass to get a burrito, bowl, salad, or taco
and it didn’t expire til December 31st, 2014. Which was really cool,
that’s like a whole free meal I can treat myself to one day if need be. Then we
went to the bar area to get a cup so that we could be able to get free water at
this Water Station. Yes, it was hot as
hell outside we seriously needed a drink. Also we noticed that they were really
recycle friendly for they had workers standing at the trash can directing
people what trash can to place their item in while pointing to the signs on the
board overhead. You don’t see that every day. Also there were bands going to
play for this event ends at 7pm (but we only stayed for two hours for Keia needed
to get back to her apartment early to pack and travel home for the rest of the
weekend)but we only heard one and I really love them. There called The Colourist,
wouldn’t mind putting a few of their songs on my ipod when I get a chance. J Before we left
I seriously wanted something to eat, so I went ahead and bought one of their
steak salads that was like $7. Keia was telling me they were way to over
excited about salad when we came over there, she thought they weren’t getting
that many customers. I had told her of course, people are aiming for the taco
or burrito stand instead lol. The salad in all honesty was freaking amazing
beyond means, just had to hurry and scarf it down before we got on the train.
Didn’t want to risk the Dart Police telling me to dispose of it for were not supposed
to eat on the train. Didn’t take long for the next train to arrive, we hopped
on, and a few stops later me & Keia had to part ways. Fast Forward, I made
it to the lounge to stop and get some glorious tea when I had noticed there was
a skeleton head trying to bite into the cake that someone made out of sugar.
Made a joke or two to the leasing office ladies about it then headed back to
the apartment. I really wanted to start
doing my homework or eat I think but Melissa asked me nicely if I would tag
along while she went to Walmart so she could get something, return something,
and try to get some potting soil and a pot for a plant she stole for it was
getting big. Hadn’t been to the Walmart Supercenter since I quit, so I sort of
remembered where things were. After she got her pot, the soil, and whatever
else needed she then remembered she left the items she needed to return at
home. I laughed for it was hilarious for how she thought the entire time she
had it ion her. Once we returned I urged her to go ahead before she forgot to
put the plant into the pot and soil. While she did that I was eating leftovers.
Now here’s where my roommate seemed to have had a slow moment indeed. I asked
her, I quote, “Can I use some of your soil for my bonsai tree?” For I had
recalled I hadn’t changed Sazuki’s soil since I saved him from my Uncle months
months ago. She then replied, I quote, “Why? Bonsai’s are grown from rocks
right?” I then paused and almost choked on my food at hearing what she said. I
went, “WHAT???” She then told me, “Well aren’t they? For when I get bamboo at
stores there always in a vase full of rocks so I just thought that rocks and
water was all it needed.” Still stunned and baffled by my roommates reply. I said
“Melissa, my bonsai wasn’t grown from rocks! It needs soil, just like bamboo.
Bamboo was grown in soil. They only put it in a vase full of freaking rocks and
water for display.” She told me, “I know I just thought.” She stopped talking
then, I think the fact that she got soil & a pot for her plant &
calling herself a “gardener “ was getting to her damn head. Just cause your
plant that you stole, correction; it’s really not a full plant! She took a part
of the plant from somewhere around the apartment complex and just stuck it in a
jar of water. I honestly don’t understand why the hell the damn thing is
freaking alive! But any who, after all of that oddness I just went ahead and
showered and then started on my homework. I really wanted to get it sketched
out and inked and maybe in the grey markers tonight so that I could enjoy my
freaking Sunday with no worry about homework. Melissa kept telling me to do half
tonight and the rest tomorrow, a part of me wanted to do that but I couldn’t. I
literally pulled an all nighter sitting on my legs in the desk area working on
it while still listening to my Dracula audio books. I finished around 2am.
Showed Melissa who was procrastinating and reading a book plus she left the
dishwasher open for hours not putting the dishes away. I then fell asleep, took
me awhile but I knocked out at some time.
