In my continued quest to be the coolest person you know (jk), I went surfing today.
I accomplished very little beyond figuring out how not to die while having a board leashed to you and getting a couple bruises and sunburned... but I feel like a champ!
I found this list of the top things to do in San Diego and since I am soon leaving this place for the foreseeable future, I thought I'd take tally of if I did the top things while being a resident.
1. Go to Sea World
Check. Mom bought me a fun card - best thing ever. Went all the time. I love this place.
2. Take Kids to Legoland
Nope. Makes me think of this part of Knocked Up. Also, don't have kids to take there (thank goodness).
3. Go to the Beach
Check. Yeah, sunburns.
4. Visit the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
Nope. Too many dollars.
5. Visit the San Diego Zoo
Nope. Sorry, pandas. Though I did go on the sky lift thinger during some Holiday event at Balboa Park (read as: doesn't count).
6. Take a Harbor Cruise
Check. Worried about getting seasick the whole time.
7. Check out Coronado Island
Check. Went a few times. Brunch with parents was the best trip.
8. Check out Balboa Park
Check. Went several times, but the memory that sticks out is going on a short nature trail with Matt and Michael during a meal break during a Drupal conference we were attending.
9. Tour the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier
Check. It was really cool. Bought a key chain that now is on my car keys. I will probably start to get sad when I look at it when I am gone from this city.
10. Chill out in La Jolla
Nope. It isn't far, but I just have never gone up there for anything.
I apologize in advance for how lame, depressing and emo this post is about to be.
Sometimes leaving San Diego seems like a really great idea. Maybe I'd be going out on Thursday nights instead of wearing an oversized sweatshirt and self-loathing. Though, I doubt anything would be different if the scenery changed. I was going to post a picture of me looking sad via webcam but then I looked ass-y. So instead here is my red cup with white zinfandel in it.
Cup: Classy, Contents: Classier
Need to cheer up and be positive. Too hard tonight. Tomorrow though. I got this.
I have officially gone out drinking enough times in San Diego to make this post worth it:
My Go To: Maloney's Tavern It is like Cheer's and there are great quotes on the walls. They also show movie clips then transition into songs that are just a little terrible, i.e. Cliffhanger clip where the chick falls into the song Free Fallin' by Tom Petty.
Also Awesome: Bareback Grill they have board games on each table and had live music the night I went. They also have this wheel of death thing - you pay $4 and get whatever drink(s) the wheel lands on. Everything from mini pitchers of beer to shots for the opposite sex. Great burgers too!
Chicks and Bros: FleetWood This is defs a night club. Charged a cover (Scotty paid for me). They have a hip-hop room which has a DJ spinning old skool jams and the newest chart toppers - lots of dancing. It was fun but loud and crazy. Lots of bros and drunk as a skunk chicks. Not exactly my scene but it was nice to get out of my laid back box.
