The money was rapidly flushing down the drain. I had to stay in Los Angeles and wait for Geico to fucking haul my car back to their shop, figure out what was wrong with it, and then decide whether it was salvageable or you know, totalled.

I didn’t get my answer for two weeks because Geico sat on their ass. They didn’t even compensate me the entirety of my time there. Somehow, I had to get back to Arizona, but I didn’t care much about that yet.

I tried to make the best out of a fuckhead situation. My friend and I became more than just friends (puke, what a bad decision that was), so we continued getting extra stoned and stuffing our faces with food because you know, why not. I didn’t really know what the hell I was doing with my life at that time and had an ‘I’ll live for the day’ kind of mentality.

Los Angeles is a pretty cool city though, if you have the time and money to explore it. Like, you can basically find anything you want there. I grew up in Burbank, a kind of bougie part, but even Downtown Los Angeles has a lot of unique shops, cafes, and places to visit.

So I mindlessly wandered.
