I called in late to work so I could enjoy BBQ-ing with the boys! I just made some basil-parmesan corn on the cob and Collin is going to start the carne asada. And the veg heads are eating garden burgers! Yum.

It's hot today!



Don'tcha.



This is what it looks like when I blog

I often question intentions of those who enter my life.

good or bad.

Being in love with the same person(and it being reciprocated) close to two years down the line, is the most refreshing feeling i've ever experienced.

Everything feels in its place.

you need to love someone for who they are, instead of who you want them to be.

I'm going to my cousin's wedding tomorrow in my birthtown. Then one on the bf's side of the fam in Santa Barbara, in September. My friend Stephanie's also in September. And then I'll be in my brother's wedding in November.

I will be at the bar when the bouquet is tossed. cheers.

Summer is on full speed this year. I can't wait for Vegas and slip'n'slide!

I'm running on empty. I never drink coffee, but I'm having it for lunch today...sort of.

I've been wanting to go to more thrift stores to find things for the house and stuff to sell on ebay, but I haven't had the time.
Sunday Collin and I drove to Santa Rosa after work and spent the night, then went to 6 flags with Jesse and Jessica. It was too much fun! Tuesday Collin and I rode bikes and met up with Mike for his birthday at Imperial. Wednesday I rode my bike to work, only to find out that the air was too toxic to inhale durring strenuous activity so I had my coworker give me a ride home but then went to the gym. Thursday I was at work for almost 10 hours and then went to Lincoln for a bloody mary around 10.

Tonight I'm staying in.
Hopefully.

You've just dealt me one hell of a hand.

...the timing on that.

The girl in charge of the bathrooms at 210 is a tranny hot mess.

....for the millionth post of the day.

What is chicago doing without tomatoes for their chicago dogs?!?

I frequently post durring the summer, because its all good times. I'm at work, waiting to get off, and waiting for my nails to dry. Soooo productive.

Yesterday was fun, after watching a dissapointing "the happenning" I met up with jess for some much needed GNO. The first few places we went to were a bust, so around 2:30am we went to tonic and it was "happening" there. (Sorry, that dumb movie had to be good for something)
But it was fun, it was like pacific beach club days. The music was circa 2004, lots of ludacris and usher. Andy perkins is the best chair dancer, we had too much fun.
I had 1 beer and 1 crazy shot and was buzzed. Like I said, it was like 2004.
I left around 4am and didn't make it to the bed, I passed out on the couch and woke up to Roxie's kisses this morning. I don't know what was in that shot, but I felt hungover this morning.

Tonight is round 2 of girl's night out. We'll be in da club if you wanna join! I promise it will be fun.

P.s. I miss that bitch, jill! I hope she's having fun in Europe <3

I recieved AMAZING news today. I wont say anything yet to jinx it, but just you
wait.

***Editeditedit
So guess who officially got accepted into the dental program?!?

I'll give you a hint, IT'S ME!!!
Soooo happy.

I really do love my living situation. This week Ian brought home a Cadillac, leather seats, wood grain and all. Flossin. Last night me, Collin, and TJ 'scene'd up' and went to the Panic show. We all felt thirteen again. not really, haha. TJ almost got into a fight with a 40 year old man who wouldnt let us sit at a table in front of him, and then told him to fuck off and blew him a kiss as we walked away. it was hilarious! They had a projection screen up and you could send texts to show across it, I texted "Collin s my d" but I guess someone was screening them, because mine never showed up. Neither did the ones TJ sent saying "Mark I slept with your brother and I'm pregnant". Boooo.

Rox and I are laying on the bed watching the girls next door, I'm contemplating on eating some cold pizza.

These past few weeks have been so intense, but they're finally starting to wind down and get back to normal.
I watched Sex and the City. alone. the way I wanted it to be and fashionably late =) It really helped me out a lot. I came home (God, I love that word) and took Roxie for a walk, gave myself a pedicure and now I'm watching a movie. Everything is gonna be allright.


I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm gonna start over tonight, beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken, hope embraced
And have I told you...

I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

We've learned to run from anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below
And no one ever has to know
That inside we're broken
I tried to patch things up again
So count my tears and kill these fears
But have I told you? Have I?


...yeah, this band pretty much chronicles my life.

Everything you heard is true...

My life never ceases to amaze me, I can hardly keep up with it sometimes.

I had a fabulous trip to the city this week. Jessica, jill, and I drove down on wednesday to kick of Jill's golden birthday celebration. It was really nice to be with my best friends and catch up. We got lost in the city Immediately. Suprise. But we did find a Bevmo, which is 10times better than Ben's and bought some booze for the show.

Garret, max, and casey me up with us at the travelodge and we took a undercover taxi to the show that smelled like weed. Someone mentioned it and the "cab driver" pulled out a sack. Haha. Talk about a full service taxi. We got to the show late and max and casey had to buy some tickets off a street guy cause it was sold out.
So many people were there. Luke ended up meeting up with us and I somehow managed a beer in my hands at all times without paying or knowing where they were coming from. People get really excited when they see me out drinking, I swear. I took a million pictures. Which I need to post, but I kept making these pirate faces in them, blame the booze.

M.I.A. Shouted for all the girls to get on stage, and you bet your ass I did, I easily plowed through hundreds of people and was the only one out of our group who made it up there. its only because I was at the point where my body could not feel pain. I was industructible.
After the show we went down to Haight and met up with Ravi and some of his friends. I had danced so much at the show, that I was completely sober by the time we got to the bar. Ravi seemed determined to get us drunk, he ordered lots of shots and tall drinks and when the bar closed he invited us to his house I mean hotel, to drink sake. We spent the night all of us in a different room. Garret and I woke up first, and it was like christmas morning the way we were running around the house looking for everyone and discovering new floors and more bedrooms.

We got a ride back to our travelodge that we paid for, but did not sleep in, and checked out. Cheryl met up with us in Union and we shopped all day. I ate a hot dog for breakfast, gelato for lunch, and a burrito for dinner. It was awesome.

1 down, plenty to go. We had a good time today and drank some George Washington's and Cheladas. My Sister had her baby yesterday!!! My nephew is amazing. Wednesday I'm off to the city to see M.I.A. Summer is starting off right.

Its the summer. Wine walk. Graduation. I've been drinking. Park place balconies and bbq's the river and friends. 08 will pwn 07. Get ready!!!!

we some how got on the subject of 99 bananas and it reminded me of this story:

I was nineteen. freshmen in college. Me, my roomate, Amanda, her bf, kyle, my bf, travis decided to go to the casinos. Amanda brought 99 Bananas, I never had it, but I had a way of binge drinking back in those days, so I took many chugs of it on the way to the casino. When we went to park, the car behind us was very unreasonable, we needed to back up to pull into a parking space, but they werent havinbg it and pulled forward to be assholes. So we finally pull into the spot (barely) and I was pissed by then. So I get out of the car, all 3 inch heels and Louis Vuitton pures and all, and yell "WHAT THE FUCK...BITCH?" the car stops, all four doors open and this mexican girl who was driving yells, "What did you say, white girl?"
I was furious. I looked down at my skin color and asked, "who you caaling white?"

From there, I kicked off my heels, threw down my Louis (while my bf and friends were looking on) and said "Let's do this!"

...It ended up getting broken up, the girls that were in the car with her ended up holdin her and me back from eachother, I remember one of them yelling at the driver, "Do you wanna go to jail again?" One of them told my boyfriend, "I have a baby at home!" and then another told me, "she's a lesbian, you dont want to mess with her." I had no idea what she meant by that.

It was a funny crazy night.

I was reckless and young. those were the good old days.
