My legs are sore and my throat feels raw. Much fun was had, which was especially nice after spending the morning sitting around completely bummed out. Everyone was out of town on iseebi's birthday (12/26) and I'll be gone on mine (1/18), so ( we celebrated yesterday ).



There are plenty of pictures and embarrassing videos (omg), which if posted, will be flocked. Thanks everyone for an awesome birthday! Less than a week till Part 2!!

Mark and Janine's party didn't happen, and BART back to the city would have been crazy so Nicole and I ended up going to Foxes, a bar near them. The place was practically empty when we got there; it was just after 10 and there were maybe 5 others inside. There were 30-40 people by the time midnight approached though.



Our drinks came with a side of condoms (lolwut), and I won a stuffie out of the claw machine. I didn't think I would, since I've never been able to before. Maybe I just needed to be drunk first. I thought it'd be weird to be carrying around a stuffed animal all night, at a bar, on New Year's Eve, but everybody loved it and was impressed I got it out of the machine. Even the security guard. Some guy named it Billy. ( more pics )

It was a fun night, and there was free champagne. Also, I can shake it! A black chick complimented me and danced with me so it must be true. Also also, my outfit was awesome.

Happy 2009!

@ Janine, Mark, and Nicole's. & I contributed! I made cranberry sauce, with orange juice. I thought I was going to completely screw it up, that maybe I should have stuck to water. But it came out well :D

There was also much Mirror's Edge (with uh, lots of falling) and Rock Band 2 (my character got 'fitted with roller skates before I left). Thanks for having me over!

Saw Twilight with Janine and Nicole, which wasn't so horrible if you think of it as a comedy. Based on Bella's narration in the beginning, I'm glad I didn't try reading the books. And wtf sparkle glittery vampires?? At least I saw Zack & Miri the other week, so I didn't pay for two bad movies in a row (Max Payne).

Met up with Gorman et al. (the guys I met last time) after for dinner (CPK pizza and red velvet cake). I was drunk halfway into my drink... and then they ordered me another one. The rest of the night was a blur of fun (+vodka) on almost every floor, including the roof. Oh, and Gorman managed to actually trip me :(

Joe and Neil walked Nicole and I back to my place. It was only two blocks out of their way, but uphill, so aww. Then we went to get more food because we got hungry again. I've had more curry in the last week than I've had in the last two months.

We went back to David's Bridal yesterday to look at bridesmaid dresses. Turned out to be as painless as finding Janine's dress; we were out of there in an hour! The one Nicole and I liked from the catalog before worked on me... and then everyone else! I just need mine shortened a foot or two.


Blue Velvet, the color I have on, is the correct one. They didn't have it in the store in other sizes. I think everyone else looks best in the colors they're wearing though. But Janine would kill us :p

that is all.

We went to a gay bar/club for Halloween, and were pretty much the only real girls there. GGs, or Genetic Girls, as we learned from the woman who took this photo of us. Lots of people wanted pictures of us. (& why wouldn't they? Hello, totally adorable!)


( eat me. )

Nicole forced us to start planning our Halloween costumes and now we're all super excited and it's not even October yet! Originally, I had been thinking of going as McGee's Alice. The other day, that evolved into "modern day Alice in Wonderland" which would be punk/emo/scene Alice.

I'm going to have a pleated plaid skirt with chains and D-rings, and safety pin on card suit shapes cut from felt. I'll be wearing a little bottle that says "drink me" as a necklace, and carrying a stuffed white rabbit with its eyes pulled out and maybe his head torn off a little too. And of course, Converse sneakers with card suits drawn on with Sharpie, and either arm warmers or a wrist cuff.

My emo/punk/scene Alice is going to be So Awesome. That, or I'm just going to look like I dressed like a 14 year old.

We spent 7 hours shopping today for material for our costumes. Then, when we were at Target and passing by the kids section, Nicole spotted a plaid skirt in blue. I felt totally ridiculous going to the dressing room with something sized Girls 10/12, but it fit! There weren't enough pleats though, and I already bought fabric and buttons and wanted to make my skirt.

I have never been so excited for Halloween, or started on a costume so early. Come on (end of) October!

When you were a kid, did you ever shade a piece of paper in every color of crayon you had, then covered it in a layer of black so you could carve cool designs into it that would appear in a multitude of colors? That's how I feel now, the top layer peeling away and colors showing through in the shape of a still-to-be-defined me.

We went to The Bazaar Cafe open mic last night. It reminded me of the ones I used to go to in Santa Cruz, and that I haven't been since even though I enjoy these things. So many talented souls sharing and connecting through poetry and song. I was also reminded of how much I enjoy listening to acoustic guitar.

My thighs are sore the way they get sore after amazing sex... ( Except that wasn't how it happened.  )

Yesterday, janinedog, iseebi, and I went to Summerthing, a free concert at Golden Gate Park. I was dressed all wrong in a skirt and tank top, expecting the weather to remain as hot as it had been at the start of the weekend, the start of the summer. Not even close. My first hint should have been when I woke up at 5am because I was cold (slept with the window open). Also, there was this trapeze thing that looked fun. What was I thinking wearing a skirt.
