before i even start i have to say that i hate it when i dont follow my instinct! even worse is when i get certain warnings and i dont pay attention to them! grr!

my problems start in the afternoon of the day that Nation will take place. i'm driving down PCH to a friend's when i open the window and notice an embarrasing screeching sound coming from my car. i speed down the rest of the way to my friend's in order to have her neighbor, whos a mechanic, check out my car. he finds that the brake padding has completely worn out and that whenever i brake, metal is rubbing against metal. this is my warning to not go to Nation, at least not in my car.

driving down the freeway to LA, my car's windows are up and the music is blasting in order to block out the screeching. my friend Nancy, shall we say, tries to make things better by telling me how much fun this party is going to be while we are passing the exit at the same time. we get off the next exit and find a gas station. what scared us more than the neighborhood was that a lady came up to my car and said in a serious manner to be careful in this neighborhood and who we talk to. oh my God. we eventually find the venue after asking 3 more gas stations, and lo and behold we were here for Hippie. If they said that on the info line, i would have known where to go!

ok, we're in and its cold. so we run to the house and start dancing to warm our butts. i run into the hottie that we met at Magic and he gives Nancy pills and me k both for half off, what a pal. anyway, i'm thinking that maybe this will turn out to be great afterall.

the night progresses, and because i was k-ed out i miss the turntablists and blakemore's set isnt that great to me, basically the music didn't matter and this is what pisses me off the most from that night. fuck drugs, the music means more to me.

anyway, i meet the Narnia promoter and he asks me to help him out. so i find myself passing out Narnia stickers and i see two junglists making fun of my wings. i manage to get a sticker on one of the guy's butts and walk away, but their poking fun really hurt. Nancy and the hottie are rolling together so my luck ran out there, damn it. the next minute they are gone but i really gotta go so i do my k hobble to the porta potties and after i try to get out of the damn toilet box i keep pulling on the door instead of pushing and when i finally do get out, the people in line are smirking at me, idiots.

on my way back to the house area, this one old and ugly asian dude is pointing and laughing at me cos of my wings and actually i was laughing inside too cos he had a crater face and i'm thinking, he thinks he's the shit when he's so damn ugly and old.

ok, the party's over. Nancy is reluctant to leave mr hottie but i finally get her out of the place and as we are walking back to the car, i freeze. in my cracked out state of mind, i start bawling and run to my car. the front is smashed in by apparently a huge ass truck. a group of guys who saw the accident try to calm me and after-the-e-suicidal nancy down. oh, i forgot to mention that i dont exactly have my own car yet, so in actuality, it's my dad's car. Nancy calls her mom cos she's the only parent who knows where we really are and she calms me down and tells me to try to drive the car, and yea it runs so it's only cosmetic damage. only.

oh, and the next day i notice that someone had put out their cigarette on my wings, the bastards.
hope you enjoyed my story, Laura

PS: it's all true, i will provide you with Nancy's real name and email and phone # if you want it. thanks!
