SF So because of the late night we did not get out of Kerri's apartment until about 1pm and first stop was Alamo park and some photos in front of the painted ladies a series of postcard type house used in a kids show and i think in some other TV and then it was over to the Golden Gate and no rain this time which was great and we drove over the bridge and went upto a peak that overlooks the bridge from the Sausolito side of the bridge and it afforded great views and after that excursion we headed back over the bridge and drove through Ashbury Haight which is the Bohemian/hippy area and swung by the former house's of Charles Manson on cole and Janis Joplins old place on Lyton Ave and also the house of the Greatfull dead and we then went back via Lombard road which is the famous snaking downward road in San Fran, we were heading back as Kerri was having an Aussie day meal for local Couchsurfers and another surfer that i know Tracy was coming to stay the night at Kerri's and she had texted Kerri to say she had arrived.
We
SF
SF picked up Tracy and headed back to Kerri's and Kerri started making some food and me Abb's and tracy helped tidy up etc and then me and Abb's went and got barbecue stuff and then came back and grilled some of the food as the CSer's turned up. The food was eventually done and me and Abb's headed up to the apartment and mingled with the other Cser's and a good time was had.
Most Cser's went home and the was me Abb's,Tracy,Kerri and three other Csers and they wanted to head out to a club and i think Kerri has a thing with gay clubs as she wanted us to go back to the same one as the one as night before and i did not think this was a good idea as she got trashed and me and Abb's had to sort her out as she took her top off and was flashing her boobs etc😞.
So we headed to the badlands in Castro (the gay area and the are rainbow flags on all the lamposts) and clubs get busy and are big places and me Abb's and tracy went to put our jackets in the
SF
SF cloakroom and then Abb's went to the toilet and me and Tracy headed to the dancefloor and in the meantime Kerri bumped into Abb's coming from the toilet and (she must feel she needs to be centre of attention?) accused Abb's and me and Tracy of ditching her, its like we are in a club its packed and busy and so we may get split up or want to dance on the dancefloor and not sit on Kerri's tales at the bar.
Then Kerri then grabbed me by the neck and ripped off my beads from Thailand and then walked off with no sorry or anything and yes i had appreciated all Kerri had done for me hosting me etc, but she was so rude and i was pissed off, anyway she went sulking to Abb's cause i was pissed off with her and so although she did not say sorry i swallowed my mood and went talked to her and thought all was well, she then disappeared and i was not sure were the other were, but hey i did not have a hissy fit. So the club closes and i grab our Jackets and meet Tracy and
SF
SF Abb's outside and i then notice that Kerri is in a cab by herself and Abb's trys to talk to her and she shuts the door and drives off in the taxi meanwhile looking back at us from the rear window of the taxi......all three of us are shocked and annoyed also.
Luckily i could remember what street Kerri's apartment was on, but it was crazy as we were in a city we did not know with all of our stuff in her apartment and no keys etc, we got back to her apartment and she was not there and we got the concierge to let us in and by that stage we were tired and scared as she was a nut job.
We were just falling asleep when she came back in and was like a banshee and we were scared and she accused all three of us of having sex with each other in her bed?, she told us all to go and then we started moving off and she started accusing us of all kinds of stuff and i answered back as i was pissed right off with her and the way she was treating
SF
SF us, she had no top on and looked like a crazy woman and then stormed out of the apartment and then mins later she came back and chucked us out on to the street, we spoke to the concierge and he let us stay in his office and i tried to sleep but i could not and the girls were leaving later for me and found a hostel.
27th Jan
A few hours later and fully into the next day, we got a cab and the girls dropped me off at the ferry building for my bus connection to Emeryville for the train and the girls hugged and said their goodbyes to me and they headed to the hostel. i did not have to wait long and the bus turned up and i tried to sleep but no joy and i was seriously tired and at the other end it was getting daylight and i got a juice at the station and the train eventually turned up and i tried to sleep on the train but all i got was light sleep and not proper deep sleep that i needed, but the train was too light and noisy
SF
SF for me to sleep and i think on my next bus or train trip i will taking sleeping pills....lol, i had a cream cheese bagel on the train and it arrived at Bakersfield and then another bus to LA and Union station, i got there and i was waiting and waiting and i was beginning to think my LA host Erin had forgotten me or something and well i though all sorts of things and had no way to contact her and i was woosy as i was running on reserves with my lack of sleep.
She eventually turned up and it was great to see a friendly face, i have met Erin before when i stayed in New york earlier this month and so i knew id be ok, Erin said sorry she was late but the traffic was awful and she had spoken to Abb's and was aware of some of what happened and explained the rest and then Erin said she was not well and so it was sweet she had come and got me, of course it was raining in LA, im getting all the best weather...lmao, we got to Erin's she showed me everything
SF
SF so i could make some food and shower and she went to lie down, i had some pasta and had some water and watched tv and showered and then borrowed Erin's laptop to check email and said goodnight to her as she had taken some advil and was going to sleep.
Tomorrow i think Erin will show me round LA and i will speak to my friend Crystal who is an administrator on couchsurfing and see if kerri can be banned as she has issues and an alchol issue aswell and i wouldn't want anyone to go through what i went through and Abb's was having her first Cs stay and Tracy was in tears and they had such a bad time too. In retrospect i have had really good times so far with CS and i imagine the has to be some small percentage of hostings that could go wrong and so good that i got it out of the way. So like the title she was a Jekyl and Hide and i will keep my eyes open for the signs next time.
