oh the past few days..

Sitting on a greyhound while I write this is not exactly how I thought I would be spending my Thursday afternoon, but that’s just where the day took me. These past few days have been the most emotionally stressful and emotional awesome days of summer. Driving back down to school and moving into my apartment was a blur because it all happened in one day and then I was off doing the next thing on my to-do list. I appreciate my parents so much for taking three days out of their schedules to drive 8 hours and move me back into my apartment. However, on Wednesday the events took a turn for the worst when I realized (the morning after) that good old’ forgetful Tori LEFT her purse at restaurant that we ate dinner at the night before. Who just up and walks out without all of their belongings? This girl. And boy if I could take it back, you know I would but that is just one of those dreaded “life lessons”…or so my dad says. And so that turned my day around real quick. The only problem (HA only problem, I wish) was that I was suppose to leave for LA that morning at 6 in order to meet my dear friend Danielle so that we could beee bop around LA for the afternoon and then see the best concert that night. And so in an act of impulsiveness and pure overwhelmingness (is that a word?) I got into the car and drove to LA, and continued to call the restaurant in hopes that a nice person turned my purse in. whelp, apparently san Diego is short on nice people these days because no body turned it in. I had high hopes because this was a classy place and you would think that someone would have given it to a lost and found, but no. So fast forward about 14 calls to the retardant and few hours later, and I am now in LA with Danielle and ready to see her new place and explore the city a bit.
She takes me around to some of her favorite hot spots, and she is a great tour guide as always and so we saw a lot of stuff in just one afternoon. It was funny because I have lived in California my whole life but have never really SEEN Hollywood, except for in movies. We drove through Beverly Hills and West Hollywood and went to the grove and Kodak theater and Jew town and everywhere in between and I was so star struck (even though I didn’t actually see any celebrities). And so the afternoon was great and it was so nice to just be with Danielle and catch up and laugh with her.
The main attraction of my visit was to see the one and only Taylor swift, and needtobreathe live in concert. And so we shuffled on over to the staples center, which was SO cool and filled with famous facts, and Taylor fippin’ rocked. I mean she must have had 10 outfit changes and the set was awesome and kept changing and it was just a really entertaining show! Needtobreathe was really great live as well, although they didn’t play all the songs that I had hoped, I still really enjoyed them and was so glad they were the opener. Another exciting part about the concert was that Jason Mraz made a guest appearance and sang with Taylor, which was totally unexpected. AND Kris Jenner, Kendall and Kylie khardasion AND Emma stone were all at the concert and we were able to see them on the big screen which was like we met them in person, right? Needless to say, the show was so great and Taylor sounded great and me and all the other 12-year-old girls in the greater LA were very satisfied with how we spent out Wednesday night.
Now flash forward to this morning when I am planned to head back down to San Diego. We go to the train station because there is a train that left in about an hour that I could catch.. We wait in a long line and get to the counter only to find out that by law you can not buy a train ticket without an ID…. oh wait I don’t have a single thing that indentifies me in my possesion.. cool. SO before I could have a complete panic attack because I was still just so upset that I forgot my purse (which by the way was a new purse given to me by my grandma, sorry Goo), we think of a plan B. what transportation in downtown La can I take that doesn’t require an ID? Oh yes, the ever so classy and non jenky greyhound bus system. So now, departing an hour behind schedule, I am on a bus to SD where I will be taking a LONG nap and trying to forget that there is someone around wearing my sunglasses, listening to my ipod, and using my itunes giftcard that was in my wallet. But lets just hope I can get to the nap because as of right now, this bus has about 5 stops before it gets to san diego, one of those being Compton. Its going to be a long afternoon but I just had to share all of that because I am just exhausted re-typing it. Also, this bus is an icebox and I am currently -14 degrees.. just as an update.

"Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you".
