hmm.. let's see.. what happened after sundance. we played in our softball game, that was both our best and our worst. we should have won because the other team sucked, but we sucked at first as well. we were great the rest of the game but after all the runs we let through in the first inning it was too late. boo. but it's okay.. we're playing them again this sunday.. we're going to beat their asses! (i hope). afterwards we had a "whoo hoo" dinner at the elephant bar .. more just like we're hungry.. but whatever. they have the best creme brulee that i've had so far. yum yum yum.
last week was kind of chill (wow i can't believe this week has passed by so fast already). i just hung out and cleaned some, and i had an interview on tuesday. i think they're still calling references, so we'll see. i hung out with beth some, we were supposed to go to the gym, but we just sat in my room and talked and watched tv. oops. i did some editing at my sisters and treated her to yummy thai food, but mostly... i tried to play the week low key in anticipation of my oh-so-exciting weekend :)
weeks of anticipation = 12
round of shots at union cattle = $27
dinner at the stinking rose = $30
drinks at gotham hall = $101
finally hanging out with pete holiday
AND watching nicole make out with a boy = PRICELESS
as nicole claimed it was "adopt a white boy weekend" aka PETE HOLIDAY comes to town. yes kids, it's true, he actually exists outside of our computers. we got to experience the wonder that is PETE HOLIDAY (self proclaimed "hottest" past international vice president.. heheheh) in the flesh. that's right, PETE HOLIDAY comes to california, what a *good times* weekend. unfortunately i didn't get to spend every waking moment he was here with him (well maybe fortunately for him), i had to work and clean for family house guests coming.. but i did get to spend a good amount of time hanging out, sober and drunk, watching jilll boss him around or have him hold her purse, or trying to defend how "black" he is. yea.. sure.
anyhoo.. the fun starts thursday night.. after dinner i leave to go meet up with them. after one hour of driving around and lots of mis-communication i find pete, jill, manny, carrie and irene at a boba place on sawtelle. afterwards we head over to jerry's famous deli in westwood (where jill and i exclaimed how much we hate parking in westwood) and i get to share chili cheese steak fries with pete (oh.. all my dreams). they laughed about the campus shoe repair that was missing an s.. (hoe!) and other stuff that i forget now (damn that short term memory) but jill and i ended up cutting out early because of work. but mostly because i wanted to get home before my parents got all pissy so i could go out later in the week (yea i know... be quiet).
friday night jill and i met up with manny, carrie and pete at everyone's favorite place - the union cattle co. in hermosa beach.
i wasn't woman enough to ride the mechanical bull, but jill was all over it. BUT we did get super good parking :) i made a new best friend, i had just driven by this spot that this guy was pulling out of and i didn't have time to back up, so i put on my blinker hoping i could still get it.. but i saw this other car driving down the hill EYEING my parking spot.. i could feel it. but the suuuuper awesome person in the car pulled out real fast to block the car zooming down the hill, flashed his brights to let me know to take the place and took off after i was safely in the greatest parking spot (to make up for the parking spot in BFE i got from the night before). yea.. that person rocks.. thank you! anyhow, pete and carrie were already throwing drinks down the hatch when we walked in, so manny, jill, and i had to catch up.
we got a round of drinks, and then i took another round of shots with pete and manny. i was DD for the night so that was the end of my fun :P (just kidding.. i'm not a lush, i don't need alcohol to have fun :P) anyhow. jill, carrie, pete and manny kept drinking throughout the night and after they sobered up they went off to the after party at irene's and me and jill called it a night.
saturday i cleaned most of the day (while watching felicity :P) and then spent some time returning stuff at the mall with my sissy-poo. unfortunately i also did some shopping and bought three necklaces (buy 2 get one free) that were more than my last paycheck from the gap. that's the way to save up :P. i hurried home and got ready and sakura picked me up for last night-o-fun with mr. holiday. (sniff sniff). so sakura, jill, sukhyung, carol and i got ready to head over to miyagi's until we got the last minute game plan change from quarterback cercado. we veered on over to the stinking rose instead so pete, carrie and manny could have some time to recover from the night before.
it was all good, carol and i shared this really good steak that sukhyung ultimately polished off (along with pete's, carrie's and vivian's plates). the only part that sucked it was got charged for these 2 plates of bagna calda (which is just sauteed garlic) to put on the bread that the waiter asked if we wanted and i just said yea sure, but no one really ate a whole lot of it. i thought it was free. sorry guys. so when you go to the stinking rose, say no to the bagna calda, those words will forever haunt me.
anyhoo.. afterwards we headed off to gotham hall on 3rd street in santa monica and met up with the deliciously cute april and nicole. we all got inside and started the drinking. three rounds of shots off the bat. vivian started chatting it up with some marine guys with marine friends and april, nicole, jill and i got roped into helping take over the drinks to their table. hmmm... there was some chatting and then we somehow found our ways to the dance floor, they were playing old school music (which nicole THOROUGHLY enjoyed :P) and somewhere along the way carol and i decided we weren't drunk enough and decided to get another drink. one turned into two or three (i can't really remember after this point). i do remember the marines buying vivian shot that she didn't want to finish cuz she was driving and i downed that too, and then the hurricane and the adios motherf*cker that did me in. and i did bankroll the mai-tai that did nicole in. after that i couldn't really see straight. "the spin was rooming" i DO remember dancing and wondering where nicole was, so someone points in some direction and i turn around and see her dancing with a boy. a while later i turn around and see their heads locked together! 3 shots and a mai-tai boys... heeeeey baby. if you want the gory details/drunken recall you can find it here or the weekend's recap in pictures here. aiya. anyhow.. i couldn't really see straight and the rest of the night was a blur.
i remember finally walking over to nicole after her sexcapade and we just both started cracking up and could not stop. nicole screaming something like "cosmic connection!" as i fell on the floor. i remember saying goodbye to pete (but i don't remember his face, just his voice. he was kind of one of those shadowed out blobs when someone's being interviewed but doesn't want anyone to know how he is :P) but i do recall him saying that "i'll come back" hehe.. so either it's an indication of where he's coming to law school or he really likes us :) here's hoping to both? or at least the latter. i'm sad that i didn't get to have breakfast the next morning with him (although sleeping off the hangover was real good too). i guess he's just so damn popular that everyone wants a piece of him. it kind of sucks i didn't get to spend a lot of real quality alone time with him (so that i could take advantage of him), but just mostly group settings (now i know how those guys on the bachelorette feel. :P) i'll have to take a number and get in line again, i had my thirty seconds. but thanks for finally coming out pete! i had fun, i hope you did too!
sunday our softball game was postponed for the superbowl, which i missed because i spent this whole day cleaning as well. too bad i missed spectitular half-time show. but the pictures are all over the place so i guess i didn't "really" miss out. our family friend guests for the week came and my mom insisted on going out to grand china buffet to eat. god that place is so awful. plus they play this really fobby happy birthday song over the loud speakers for each person's birthday. i heard that song like 5 times. can't they just gather every bday person into the middle of the buffet and then play the song? but that place is awful so why go there anyways. blech.
this week has been passing by kind of fast, just work and entertaining house guests. went to a pretty dissapointing dinner at claim jumpers.. boo. no chocolate cake either :P hope next time is better.. i'm gonna get the "i declair" eclair that's bigger than my head for my meal. :) yesterday i met up with nicole at downtown disney for a late dinner. beth and sakura couldn't play so it was just a private date for two. we ate food served by our not too shabby waiter who was probably flirting for larger tips. but in any case i should have left nicole's number or something. we were on our way to haagen daas to get ice cream when we decided to check out what big shindig was going on at the house of blues. we find out that it's the "employee talent show" what?!! yea exactly. i ask the security if we can check it out and he radios someone else and gives us wristbands.. aww yea. we watch "the sexy apes" play, which was girl rock band with one guy. i was kind of excited from the name but it was a little bit of a let down. well, they were alright.. just not my cup of tea. nicole did like the lyrics to one of their songs... ask her about it :) drove home and passed out. today was work and dinner from costco and friends (yes.. exciting i know).
that is what i have been up to, sorry for the uber long posts.. i swear they're be normal size now (long but not quite this long) and i'll get back to the play by play of what i eat for those of you who love that. :P i've been getting pretty apathetic about work, so i'm so thankful that it's friday. aww yea. we have a doubleheader in softball this weekend, wish us luck. or better yet!! come out and watch us play!! it'll be rad to have a cheering section for our doubleheader and hopefully we'll go out for a celebration afterwards :) see ya there! bring your pom-poms!
