No more brain juice

azuriteGAAAH. It's one thing to be out of story ideas-- that sucks, but you can always go back and look over your old work and edit and revise it (like I'm doing with WDKY8 now) or finish the unfinished stuff (like I always do... er, sometimes do). But what about when you have no ideas for your birthday?
The date: April 14th (Wednesday)
The age: 19 (nothing special)
The problems:
* Who will be in town?
* Who cares?
The possibilities:
* Metreon - Portal One (problem: expensive, needs 8 ppl. minimum. Plus, only 1 hour)
* RTA (problem: minimum 10 people)
* Giant's Game vs. MIL. (problem: great seats are expensive, and Mom doesn't think she can get off)
* Some show [ymphony, musical, whatever] (problem: expensive, short notice)
* Punchline comedy club (problem: no minors??)
* Hooter's (problem: too tacky, might not be able to do reservations)
* Some factory (problem: big distance, also depends on the factory... chocolate factory? Jelly Belly factory?)
I know for sure I'd like a pizza party, but where? And when? If not the day of, what about the 17th?
Been there, done that:
* Bowling
* Benihana
* California Pizza Kitchen (TWICE)
* Winchester Mystery House
* Great America
* Marine World
* Round Table Pizza
* Bonfire @ Beach
* BBQ (too dependent on weather)
* Alcatraz/Angel Island (it's a prison, for Pete's sake)
* Musee Mecanique (museums aren't really "party" places)
* Ripley's Believe it or Not (been there... with Jonathan. The Date That Went Nowhere)
* Karaoke @ Japantown (if you've done it once...)
* Pottery Design (pricey *and* boring)
* Sleepover/Slumber Party (I'm not 14)
* Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (too far)
* Build-A-Bear (I don't need more stuffed animals. Well, maybe UFO Catchers or a Kaiba plushie, but they don't count)
* Exploratorium
* Ice Skating
*sigh* I HAVE NO IDEAS. Am I really being too picky? I consider the following things:
- When can I do it? Will people be able to come?
- Will it be expensive? Who will be paying for what?
- Will it be fun? Will it be MEMORABLE?
People are probably going to be working or on spring break. If worse comes to worse, you know what? I'll dish out the $50 and go by myself to the Giant's game. That's a horribly depressing thought, but... I really have no better ideas.
People I wish could come:
* Eva (she'll be in LA, I know)
* Steph (school?)
* Tobey (see above)
* Joe (again, see above; if not, work)
* Rochelle (also in LA)
* Chris K. (*waves*)
* Taz (because he's been pestering me to see him again and whip his ass again in SCII. ^_^)
* You
* That Other Guy
* Those People I rarely talk to, but are cool anyway
* Everyone else who doesn't intend to get drunk/high/arrested
-.- Back to WDKY. Maybe... *shrugs* I don't know. Work. work. WORK.
