April
Looks like this might be when i started dj lessonS?
And then immediately went to taiwan the 2nd friday?
Hahah and was supposed to buy my EI options. Oh well. I remember in the hotel reading the email and finding out how difficult the process would be. Good thing i put it off, those would have been worthless
Great trip
The weekend after we got back we saw avenger’s with tammy’s bro and mei. Man david was mad we were late. Was still going all the way to tatelmen then?
May Dropped off my bike at ohanlon for real? Eugh that place.

I have camping? And then two elisa birthday parties. Happy hour and picnic at dolores. I vaguely remember that picnic, we met those two party hardy indian girls. I dont think we went camping. I also marked out cheat day, lmao. I got so fat last year, fuck.
June Tim visited! Jus ton his on i’m prettty sure, there was another time he visited with his girlfriend and we got food… i think that was after tammy got her ninja though so later in the year probably. I remember being hyp AF when we walked towrads him at the city hall.

July
Camping at pinnacles… i don’t quite remember who that was with. Sky Camp. Maybe with steph and crew? I vageuly remember seeing the big fat pheasants.
And then that week after i think I went to NY with potato. Weird trip. Went out a couple nights with JC and tim, who is apparently a wild dog when he drinks. And what’s her face, that lady that burnt straight out of potato. Nearly lost ramsi with her. Jeez she sucked.
Tammy and i went and saw that sailing movie. I likd that. Made me wish i got back into sailing> I still haven’t Bruh.
Oh then we went to an idaho bbq. Some dude kept trying to show me memes. That’s right. Man my memory is bad
Looks like we went to exploratorium one of the thursdays. Was that the time with ramsi and his GF where we passed a fire that was developing and also saw a shitload of parrots? And then went swing dancing on the roof of the salesforce bridge thing. We sshold appreciate those things a lot more now that we can’t do shit during quarantine.
lOooks like another dolores park picnic.
August
Crystal’s camping trip! SO fu8n! So hot. Lots of people. They did shrooms. Lots of swimming. Lots of eating. So good.
Looks like we went to minglaba for some reason as well. Maybe id idn’t make that, it was with raj.
And then DEFCON with tammy for the first time. Great fun if i remember correctly, though she was exhausted the entire time. I think i even tried to work out once while we were there.
Oh right and at one point gino droped the bomb that he wanted to move out. So tammy and i went apartment viewing. Settled on the mission place preeetttty quickly.
Anod another swing dancing on salesforce roof! Fun

Stephanie did too, with her roommate, right before they expldoed at eachother. But before that we had a vegas trip. THIS is the one wher ewe spa’d it up. I was already seriously weight conscious at this point> I’m sure keto had long since ended. Zimmer @ the independent - didn’t go to that i guess.
Looks like this is when i called corbin to set up tammy’s christmas present.
Oh the bunnie party! This is when i found out mr bill and azuki were close. Fuck, still jealous about that. I wish i was better at production and could make a name for myself.
My family visits! We stay with them in oakland and get FAT as FUCK. Lots of low carb ice cream and other bullshit.
Then we got the families together for hot pot, the one asian thing my family could eat. I remember being pretty nervous at the last second.
I was trying relaly hard to plan more stuff for tammy and i cause she worked so hard and did all the pl,.anning and got me such good gifts.
