4th

Last night i was invited to a rooftop party in Hollywood, by a girl i had never even met before. I had met a friend of hers through a good friend of mine (hi Tara!) back when i was in Hawaii a few months ago. She introduced the two of us via Facebook and this girl, Ripley Rader (check out her website, she's incredible! I want one of her jumpsuits :-)) ended up inviting me over to her amazing loft right next to the Hollywood Bowl.

Wednesday evening i had to find a clinic because my ear was just on complete fire, i thought my head was falling off. I went to the clinic in Santa Monica which was great. The doctor gave me a discount, i think because i told him i had been living in cars, hostels, hotels and random places for the past month or so (and we both loved The Great Gatsby!), so it only cost me $75 to fix my ear infection.
But because of that whole situation, i wasn't really feeling up for going out. In fact i could hardly get out of bed. I did manage earlier in the day to get out for a bit and walk down to the beach. It was SO festive - everyone was out walking, biking, skating, laughing and it was a gorgeous day weather wise.

But i decided to go so found my way over there to the Bowl and the minute i found their house i about died.  SO cool and filled with all flea market/goodwill finds. I meandered my way around and found the stairs to the rooftop where everyone was. The minute i walked in Ripley was like "are you Isla"! It was a fun evening, i think in the past i may have been really shy being around a bunch of LA people i didn't know. But i chatted with all kinds of people. One couple will be in CAMDEN MAINE when i'm there the end of July!!!! His parents have a place there and they happen to be going the same time i am. So hopefully we'll get to meet up, they're staying in Lincolnville. So crazy!
