Yesterday ended up being really exciting, really boring, really fun, and really sad all at the same time. Got up around 5 something to take that 6am conference call. The call went well. I may end up going to SC in a week but that's a week from now and I will deal with it then. I had a second call unplanned, with the DC folks right after. I was barely awake for both. The kid got up around 8 and was sad that she couldn't go with us to Disneyland but happy because she was going to see KBF after work. That was about to change...

I did some quick grocery shopping after taking her to work around 9. Nothing major just some cat food and snacks for my trip. Got back around 9:30 and waited patiently for TGF to get there. She got to my place around 11 and we were on the road at 11:30. It was later than I wanted but wasn't bad overall. It took us about 7 hours to get here. Which given that it was rush hour traffic is not horrible. The weather held out for us and we were able to get here without any incident.

Except for the exciting parts which were the multiple times people almost squished us, the guys in the VW who decided to flip me off and mess with me because they were bored, and the semi-sandwich we almost became when a couple of freeways merged. A typical drive to Disneyland I guess.

Got to the hotel and the room here is really nice. Unlike the room I just left in DC which was a total ripoff at $300 a night, this one is beautiful for being free. I think this is the hotel we are going to stay at when we come down here this summer. I have enough points for us to have six days here which we probably won't use all of, but it's nice to know we have them.

My phone wasn't taking a charge on the way down and I had turned it off at some point until I could get it charged back up.

We met our friends who were already here. It was another couple and it is the woman's birthday this weekend. This is one of the reasons we came, to help her celebrate. We met with them, went to Calif Adventures to watch ElecTRONica and that's when I turned my phone back on...

First message from KBF - You need to call [the kid] when you can

From the kid - Call me when you can
Hey I just got dumped call me
Daaaaaaaaaaaad

Aw shit.

I was able to talk to her for a few before my phone died and essentially he dumped her knowing full well I was out of town. We think it's because he was afraid of getting his ass kicked. She was really broken up about it. I told her I was making some calls to make sure she wasn't alone. I made one call. Next I know I am getting texts from 10 different people asking if they should kick KBF's ass. I told them all to wait until I got home, but make sure she wasn't alone. He dumped her in an asshole way - 'I like you but I am not in LOVE with you'. Douchebag.

From there we went on rides, collected pins (19 in one night!!), and had some food. We only did Indiana Jones, the submarine, and one other which I forget, but it was fun.

We left the park around 11:30 and I called the kid when I got in around midnight. She had three friends over, they were pretty high, drunk, and she was doing much better. I told her she shouldn't worry because this showed how many people out there love her. She agreed and I could tell she was doing okay. She is going to hang out in the city today with friends.

We are waiting for food to arrive, then heading back to the park to meet up with our friends. Today's agenda is Star Tours followed by MORE pins!

Breakfast just arrived. Time to eat.
