[09 Jun 2009|05:33pm] |
I don't really have computer access right now, so I haven't had a chance to resize all the pictures from my trip to disneyland with James last month. I do have the pictures from our photopass, pictures castmembers take and save on a card for you to buy at the end of your trip. They're small and they're only from day 2, cuz I lost our photopass from day one.

So, I'm still a bit bruised and sore but I'm incredibly lucky that's all, considering what my car looks like:

| Big oops |
[31 May 2009|07:33am] |
I've learned my lesson- I need to stop trying to do so much in such a small amount of time, especially if it means sacraficing sleep. This weekend I was trying to meet up with colin to discuss more divorce stuff, go to Alycia's steampunk bday party and drive up to Sacramento to visit my mom and this was with no days off/ in between working.
So Saturday morning, after only 3 or 4 hours of sleep, I was driving to meet up with Colin for an early breakfast. I don't fully understand how it happened but I must have fallen asleep at the wheel. I hit a parked car going 45 MPH. My car is totalled. My air bags went off, my shoes, glasses and phone went flying, my dashboard was essentially in my lap because the entire front end of my car was crushed in on top of itself. I barely managed to get my car into park so that I could turn it off because the radio was pressed up against the park symbol. Since my drivers side door handle was already broken, so I obviously couldn't role down my window to let myself out that side. My passenger side door was crushed in, so I couldn't open that either. Luckily the passenger window was gone/shattered. So i crawled out through it, without glasses or shoes and covered in glass and bruises. I couldn't feel my face so I was worried that it was all tore up and I was very dizzy. I just remember thinking that I needed to go find someone to call 911 before I passed out. First I tried the house of the ppl who's car I hit but they were still asleep. So I ran to the next house and the lady there called 911 for me. They asked if I needed an ambulance, I said it depends on how bad my face was, she said my face looked fine but that she was worried about the rest of me but I insisted on no ambulance. Ambulance rides can easily cost a couple thousand $ and if the insurance company decides that it wasn't 100% necessary then they won't cover it. After getting off of the phone with 911, the lady and I went back over to the neighbors house to wake them up and let them know I smashed into their SUV. They were super nice about it though. They said it was ok, accidents happen, this is what insurance is for don't worry about it. They offered me tea and coffee and blankets while we waited for the cops. The dad joked that I had done something amazing that he'd never been able to do once - get his entire family awake and out of bed before 8am. I couldn't have crashed into a nicer set of ppl's car. Once my car stopped smoking I went inside and found my shoes and phone. I called colin to let him know that I wasn't ditching out on our breakfast plans, that I had been in a pretty bad car accident, could he come meet me to take me to the hospital. Cops came and were also nicer than I deserved. After filling out the police report I got a ticket for "failure to use proper lane", not for being an idiot, unsately falling asleep while driving and hitting another car, just improper lane usage. I thought that was a little amusing. Prob about an hour after the accident we found my glasses pinned between my broken windshield and tge very front of my dash. Thankfully Colin was able to fish them out. The cops got my car towed away for me and Colin took me to the ER to make sure I was ok. No head trama, no sever back or neck pain, nothing broken (I now know that I hate getting xrays), somehow nothing serious at all. Just a bad head, a few big bruises and some all over soreness. I'm ok, no one else got hurt, my glasses and phone still work, I don't think I could possibly be any luckier than that. My car is completely fucked, I'll find out by thurs just how tucked and what I get to do about it and I don't have enough $ to pay my $500 deductable for the insurance or how ever much my medical bills are going to be but I'm still too busy being grateful to be alive to bother worrying about all that other stuff.

Day- Saturday May 23

If you offered to model but didn't say which style you wanted to where please let me know now. If you offered to model and I didn't actually respond - I'm sorry, life got a bit overwhelming there for a while. Getting things back under control now. I promise it will be lots of fun :)

| Weds Party |
[04 May 2009|07:53am] |
This week has involved far too much alcohol and not nearly enough sleep. Sometime earlier in the week we were sitting down at the pub and decided that since we all have weds off of school and work that we should have a "It's Weds, let's party" party, for no real reason. Good times were had, board games were played and I drank the biggest drink in the world.
( Boardgames, silliness and cats... )

| I can't sleep- our new club rules |
[27 Apr 2009|05:28am] |
It's mostly an inside joke between me and a friend, the results of not going to sleep at all tonight. I'm sharing it because no one on here actually knows who this is referring to and you just might get a kick out of it:
1. People who refer to others by their online names and not their true names when hanging out in person will be
* shot in the foot with a squirtgun on the first offense
* shot in the face with a squirtgun on the second offense
* shot in face with bleach on third offense
* shot in face for reals after that, clearly they just won't learn
2. People who go to meetups just to spend the entire time on their laptop and ignoring others:
a) are socially challenged and should have stayed at home
b) usually smell bad
c) will be covered in fire ants in an attempt to get them away from their laptops, even if only briefly
d) all of the above
psst, the answer is D
3. You can not be friends with Bitchface*, that includes in real life as well as on myspace, facebook or even friendster (no, it doesn't matter that no one actually uses friendster, it still applies)
4. It is still "today" and not "tomorrow" until you go to sleep. If you're out with friends from 11pm until 5am, it's clearly still "today" at 5am.
*All names have been changed to protect confidentiality. Any similarity to anyone real or imaginary, living, deceased or yet to be born, is strictly coincidental.

| Ocean Beach, SF |
[26 Apr 2009|01:25pm] |
Ocean Beach is right by Cliff House and the Sutro Baths ruins. It's where the Playland amusement park was from 1913-1972. I headed over there after the Cherry Blossom Festival because the terribly hot weather that made the CBF parade so unbearable was perfect beach weather. :)

| Japantown Meetup |
[25 Apr 2009|11:54pm] |
Yesterday was the longest day ever- first I did a full shift at work then I came home and dressed up Kegan and we went to the lolita meetup in San Francisco. We had dinner, played Karaoke, hit up Sophie Crepes. As if that wasn't a full enough day we then went to a pub with Matt and other Matt and other Matt's brother in law. After is closed we went to Carrows for a couple hours. 2 hours of sleep and time for a new day. I feel like I may fall over dead any moment now.
( A few more, mostly Kegan and me cuz I forgot to charge my camera... )

| SF Cherry Blossom Festival |
[21 Apr 2009|11:21pm] |
Cherry Blossom Festival was overall a success- saw part of the parade, got pictures of Sulu, met lots of rad new people, ate best crepe ever. Sure the meetup turn out was small, I waited an hour for the damn crepe, and I totally missed brunch with Fanime peeps because it took me 40 minutes to find parking but I still had a good time. :)
( Tons of pictures... )

| xbox games? |
[20 Apr 2009|09:42pm] |
Dear Xbox owners,
I made the mistake of answering financial questions while drunk/I told Colin he could buy an Xbox360 off woot.com the other night. Are there any games I'd actually like on this system? I like fun party games, or cute kid games, bonus if they're both at one time. Like anything Mario Brothers, Elebits, and BoomBlox. I got all excited thinking that game Alycia and Daniel showed me (Little Big Planet) was for the xbox, but no, it's for PS3, lame. So fun, cute, girlie games for the xbox- do they exist? It seems to be a DudeBro system. All I can find are scary games about zombies, stupid racing games, a shit ton of sports and shoot em up garbage. :( It's probably for the best, I shouldn't be wasting money on video games anyway.
Sincerely,
A Wii Fan

| I'm having a 'bad hair day' |
[10 Apr 2009|07:58pm] |
To start I went to get my hair cut to straighten it out. After I grew out my A-line I never got it trimmed to even it so I decided to finally do that. I told her I wanted it all 1 length, no more than an inch or two shorter and that I didn't want any layers. It's now at least 4 inches short, especially in the front, where she cut in some frickin layers. When I asked her why she put in layers when I asked her not to she said "Oh no honey. They're not layers. I blended... blended your bangs in with the rest of your hair. It's more even now". Grr. I'm a dumbass because I chose to go to some cheap hole in the wall instead of just paying decent money to get it done. I just thought that anyone would be able to do a simple trim without messing it up. wrong.
Then I come home to dye my hair because recently it's been looking very orange/brown and brassy. I've both used box kits and individual supplies from the beauty store before and rarely had any problems. But for some reason my dye is pure liquid no mater what I do. Why?! At first I follow the instructions and tried to make it work. But it was just dripping everywhere and would pour right off my hands. So then I added some more of the cream developer to try to thicken it up and no matter how much I added it was still like trying to dye my hair with colored water. I seriously want to just shave it off and wear wigs every day. :(

| Altered Tshirts |
[07 Apr 2009|11:26pm] |
I was one of many girls that was less than thrilled when we discovered that the "cutsew" for the Angelic Pretty/Kokusyoku Sumire was actually just an extra large tshirt. Even so, I bought one because I loved the design and planned on altering it to be more of an actual cutsew. 5 months later I finally did it.

There was a recent sell on cake mixes and frosting at Safeway, something like buy 3 get 3 free. So every other week we've been making cupcakes and minicakes.
Our most recent cakes were a set of 3 carrot cakes decorated with green cream cheese frosting to look like hills. They were going to be covered with jelly beans as easter eggs but as an after thought I liked them better as a hobbit hole.
( cupcakes, )
