Can I stay with you in SF?

Sooo, I was planning on going to SF the 13th-17th of August. I was going to stay with my ex, but for all the usual reasons, that isn't going to happen. I took the time off from work and I'd really like to go because I'm pretty fond of that city, so can you or do you know someone who could host me and my bicycle? I'm a fun person and I won't cause ya any trouble at all. It'd be cool if you were down with me drinking and smoking, of course I'll share. My only condition is that my bike gets to sleep indoors - she is my baby, after all.
Any other options you guys can think of? I don't have a lot of spare cash....
Let me know.
This break up is a year old already and it's still wreaking major havoc in my life. When do I finally get to be over this shit?

I can't host anybody at the moment because of some roommate drama with the last person I hosted (not you Brandon, you know who I'm talking about), but if you can't find a place to stay by the 13th, I'll see what I can do. I don't think I could host you for the whole week though, maybe 2-3 days.
Either way, hit me up when you're in town, I'd love to go on a ride or drink or smoke or all three.

Ah! Thank you! The dates are a little flexible because I am driving up, but I have the time off for the 13th-17th.
Sorry there was dramz.
I can't text on my phone (SHOCKING!), but if I can't find anything I'll give a call with a week's notice. And I'll also call ya when I am up there to hang out (I'm quite fond of the triple threat).
Btw, is that your Flickr that added me as a contact?
Would also like to add that I will gladly host in LA in return...if you don't mind sharing a queen bed or sleeping on the floor >.<

I could potentially be a Burtha, since my full name's Elizabeth. But I took the other half and go with Liz ; p
Btw, old news, but I think I saw you riding in Hollywood like, 2 weekends ago. Saturday. On Vine at Santa Monica. I was with my dad in a car.
What if I ain't Funderstorming? I've been such a depressed piece of shit these days, I've been holed up in my apt self-medicating. Blah.

I have been wanting to do a trip up there. dont know if you have any extra space?And i have a cousin that lives in berkley who might let people stay. I saw on another thread someone saying they wanted to do a group trip. It would cool to get more people to roll.

Not sure if it was me or not. I can barely remember what I was doing last weekend, much less two weekends ago. ;-/ But I would go to the show Friday if you can make it. I'll introduce you to B Rad if you're kinda shy about it. They got killer deals on 40s at the liquor store across the street too!

I could definitely drive you and your bike up, but that's the extent of room that I have in my carrr. I'd like to stay in the city, if possible.
I'd be down for a group trip, as long as it falls within my vacation days.

Happyland, its going to be over the minute you decide its over. It sounds easy because it really is easy. You might be the one making it harder than it has to be.

I am definitely making it much harder than it needs to be. I was still hanging on.
I guess today is a turning point: he said we can't work ever again because he wants kids and a family...and well, I hate kids. And no, I will not change my mind because not having children is a personal conviction of mine that is tied to my entire world view. Other folks can have em and that's great, but not me. I feel a little betrayed cause when we were together we reveled in our kid-hating and then he tells me this. It ain't a cop-out because we've always been honest with each other.
I guess as you get older this is something that actually becomes an issue?

Its hard to say. everyone responds to these things differently. And every relationship
is different. some people are better at blocking out emotions. Im kind off in the same boat. I was in a seven year relationship that ended about 2 months ago. Some times you feel like your getting better. then suddenly everything comes rushing back and it allmost seems worse than it was before.

Odds are with you. As sappy as this might sound, Theres so many fish in the sea, its impossible not to find a right match. Just dont hold your self back and stop chasing after the ones that didnt make the cut...

Ah! My ex and I were together for about four and a half years and we lived together for the last year. I loved him more than anything in the world. And then everything fell apart. I've been struggling to heal for the past year and it's been difficult but enlightening, even empowering at times. But I can definitely feel you on the vacillating recovery - you have good days and then you have really really shitty days. I've lately found myself sinking into a funk where it's difficult to enjoy the things I used to love (Even sex!). It's basically why I started riding a bike, and my little pink bicycle has saved my life.
I'm working on a book that I want to eventually self publish that is a collection of vignettes from the point of view of a girl who likes to drink and smoke and rides a pink bicycle and rides around Los Angeles trying to figure everything out (Yes, it is vaguely autobiographical). It's called Breakfast Foods Or How To Not Deal With Depression. My progress is posted on my blog, which is linked in my profile if you are curious. Other contact is there if you want to talk.
Keep me posted on the SF trip.

Yeah, I met up with B-Rad last week, and over the weekend. Had a lot of fun. I'm actually trying to get in touch with him now... dude doesn't answer his phone. I think he's hosting a ride tomorrow at the ferry building, but it's not listed here.
HappyLand... yeah, that was me. I think I met you awhile back at one of the AltPixel parties we threw, or maybe at Bikerowave. My girlfriend's name is Liz too, so I definitely remember that.
I "hosted" a gentleman last week who wore out his welcome very very quickly, and wrote me a bad check for some freelance work I was supposed to do for him. We made him leave and called the police. So, nothing personal, but politically I can't really ask my roommates if I can have guests for awhile. Maybe in a few weeks the tone will change. I quite like hosting people, this has never happened before.

Ah! Must have been Bikerowave! But I've only been there for like, 2 months. I think we talked a little last time I want to SF, but I didn't end up doing a lot of riding that time (But I sure did a lot of tripping).
I understand the roommate situation with the guest and stuff. But I promise I am sooo easy going and nice and sweet and fun. I am still working on trying to figure out some sort of accommodations. At the very least we'll hang out!
And Liz is an aaaaaaaawesome naaaaaame!!!
Cool photos, I'll add you as a contact next time I sign on!

Yeah i know how it feels to not enjoy things anymore. Some times i feel like if someone offered me a free ticket to europe i wouldnt want to go. It just doent seem like it would be the same any more. For some reason it really helped me knowing there were so many great, loving people filled with compassion in the bike bike comunity. Even if I didnt know them, just knowing they were out there helped. Are you going to the mosey tonight?

@user1:
1. I'm upset you don't know my screen name
2. I'm upset you spelled my name wrong!

People have been getting us confused? We've never even met! When we do happen to be in the same place at the same time we will create mass chaos.
@buckchin No, no Mosey. I'm not sure what my bike plans are for this week.
