im not pretentious, you Are
thoughts entry #3 - tuesday, may 13th, 2025


today i engaged in a slew of LA behaviours that might call the words “pretentious” and tryhard to mind. but i’ve definitely had worst days in terms of the insufferable scale, and considering how content and present I was, im not exactly all mad or upset... im an aquarius so i dont think you can expect me to not enjoy acting this way. and there are definitely worse out there so... its fine. I woke up this morning in a sweat because i was having another stress dream about my midterm that was imminent. Took the midterm (my chinese neolithic art class) and it was completely fine. as it always is. Poor cece was asleep and i was typing so loud she had to put on her noise cancelling headphones. i then got back into bed and slept until 12 and it was extremely good. 

here begins the journey to downtown LA where we sold our souls to the devil (aka noah dillion, ceo of the annoying useless pretentious corporation). First up we had a minimalistic concept cafe with curved chrome furniture and a dyptique ass logo everywhere. i did nothing but scroll on ebay looking for a 2014 free people dress for gay prom whilst listening to fakemink and imogen heap and drinking my iced matcha einspanner to wash down the wagyu beef sliders on hawaiian rolls i shared with lauren. then we parked in this crazy parking lot with the most intense vibe ever and took the busted frutiger aero ass elevator with led strip lights up to the first floor of the strip mall. When lauren bought her korean skincare cece and i ate a hello kitty jelly. then we looked at places to eat on beli and decided upon udon and it was extremely fire. we walked past a real human shit and piss combo before arriving at the LTTT tuesday session where u pay $5 to play tablet tennis in a gym. it was entirely filled with silverlake men and highschoolers aura-maxxing. the guy who works for LTTT looks straight outta a heidi slimane catalogue and is literally gorgeous except hes twig thin and probably 5’7. he was extra locked into the bit today becasue he was wearing a dean blunt hoodie and literally only playig fakemink and the hellp on aux in the gym. my sister tried to talk to him when she bought a hat, but he literally entranced her and auraed out so hard she just stood there nodding (her words not mine). we then played pingpong and it was a vibe, but we were stuck next to this 25 year old man that hit on lauren last time we were there (eek). then we got somi somi and i got matcha softserve and it was so delicious and yummmy. tori also facetimed me out of the blue so i called her back and it was rlly nice to talk to her.

when we got back to the car we drove up to the kiosk to pay the guy, and he literally was talking in the most insane way i have ever heard any person talk. He rolled every single one of his rrr’s when he said something to us, even when the word had no r in it. no im not being racist or xenophobic, you just need to trust us on this one that this man was either doing a bit just to fuck with us or he was unapolagetically this way (im going with the latter). because he was rolling the rrr’s so exaggeratedly -- like no one sounds like that naturally. it was rolling the r on each word for literally 3 seconds. everone was laughing but i had to keep talking to him to pay and i had to lock in so hard, but i was smiling so hard it literally made my face hurt. he really did put a spell on us. 

droving home i took 5 billion wrong terms because we were listening to cocteau twins and all got distracted by how beautiful and big the moon was. but now im home and im on my bed and i just smoked a bowl and had a beer and im quite possibly the most relaxed ive been in a few weeks. i have class tomorrow but not until 11 + its online, so im really enjoying being so content and peaceful. i might go to berlin with lauren kim this summer, who knows. speaking of miss lauren kim, all credits for this entry title go to her and her big brain. <3
