Suicide Bridge RePost

Written on Tuesday | June, 26th 2012

Yesterday morning while Rot was at work, he texted me saying he wanted to take us to visit the Suicide Bridge in Pasadena. I flipped my shit. Maybe it's just me but I find it romantic in a way. Not traditional, but there's a dark dramatized romantic thingie to it and.. I don't know.

SORRY, I'LL TURN DOWN THE GOTH KNOB NOW.

He also said we'd go eat lunch. :D

The bridge itself is beautiful with a lovely view of the canyon and riverbed. The area and neighborhoods are... absolutely stunning. It made NoHo look like even more of a shithole than it already is. The streets were lined with gorgeous trees and elegant black lanterns all along the sidewalks and side roads. UGH. I bet Christmas there would be magical if it actually snowed.

~ The story of this bridge is that during the Great Depression, over 100 people committed suicide here, leaping to their deaths. This bridge is said to be haunted. Two most noted hauntings are of an older man in glasses walking along the bridge, and the other of a woman standing over the railing, wailing as she searches for her baby. 

This woman apparently jumped off the bridge after tossing her baby. The infant's fall was broken by tree branches and survived. She died on impact.

We parked in a neighborhood and walked through an estate to reach the bridge.

Those spikes around his mouth hurt.

 I REGRET NOTHIIIIINNG

Even though he lost a long time friend to suicide, he still has a sense of humor.

While standing here, we felt an eerie tremble that may have simply been the traffic's force and momentum wobbling the bridge... or something. It was random and weird.

Following this, we went to Denny's at ate nommies. Denny's coffee is my favorite. ^-^
I suggest visiting this location. It's pretty, and romantic. Can you picture two spooky kids walking hand in hand along this bridge? CUTE, I KNOW
Or just anyone, really. Go. Go do it, now.

Dat Natures

We went hiking Saturday. We being Lisa, Ron, Jared, Robin, and myself. She was having a birthday thing that evening, but of course... I worked early the next morning. To compensate, we frolicked in the natures.
It is now Wednesday- my calves still ache tremendously.
Despite the discomfort, it was an amazing trip, and I plan to visit there again with the Rotten one. We look all ooky and anti-natures but I mean... what's better than taking a stroll through the forest in an MMO? Taking a stroll through the forest for realsies as if inside an MMO. Duh.

 The only thing that sucked was the sun. 

You'd think that because I am hispangyick, I'd have some sort of racial ability that would make it so that I don't burn. My genetics don't comply with this stereotype. In the near future I may be forced to invest in a brimmed hat for protection. My poor nose can't take much more of the sun's crap with all this outside business.

Monday morning I took Jared and Lisa to my work for work things. We spent the entire day together, and I ended up showing Lisa how to make one of my favorite meals! They really liked it!

Happy dinner time!
I love love love eating out of bowls. My mom always fed me out of them. :3

Being told that I make work less crappy for someone is extremely uplifting. The feeling is mutual. That being said, I cross my fingers for Mama Bear. We're waiting with bated breath.

Today was 4th of July. I came home from work, dressed my burgers, hid in my room, ate my burgers, internet'd, and took a nap with Rotny. Woke up to a text from Jason saying he was a few houses over and to come visit. I was in my jammies by then, but I would've gone if I had known sooner. I also dreamt about a co-worker. We went shopping and got ice cream because earlier today, they mentioned getting ice cream and I came home wanting ice cream. Not sure about the shopping part but... definitely want ice cream.

Came across this awesome illustration.

• "That's not where her brain is."
• "They have beaks to crack skulls open. You want his beak touching you?"
• "They don't even care about that, Peempurs. They don't have sexual identities."

That's my Peempurs!
