Joooooooooooooooooooooooan

Alright, friday was joan's bday. Jenny made funfetti so before we even went to dinner we started eating the cake. so effing good. took a shot and we were on our way to sushi for joan's first time experience.

We drank some saki and beer and ate magnificent sushi at Umi Sushi here in wonderful point loma. Joan liked it so that was definitely a plus.

OH, i forgot one of the most important things. We were all wearing these really cute "drink" shirts. Cute matching us!

Walked back to our apartment where we continued to eat cake and chat about god knows what. "I....I lost my cake." ~ quote from me

So then we ventured to the captain's quarters. where i continued to get absolutely shitfaced. It was one of those things where there is always someone more drunk than you on your birthday....and that was definitely me.

So one guy kept giving me a creepy look so I finally blurted out something along the lines of, will you stop looking at me cuz you're creeping me out. Then he got all offended and said that he was just at a funeral and blah blah blah. Under normal circumstances I would've felt bad...but you're at a shady bar, don't be giving girls half your age creepy looks.

Next guy comes up to us and tells Joan that she shouldn't have her cash and credit card hanging out of her back pocket. So, that's nice. Not like creepy guy before. That guy was actually pretty cool. You got a lot of balls to come up to three girls and try and hit on every one hoping that one will go for you back. Seriously though, he was nice and he told jenny and i of a place to go when we're in portland.

Then comes darts and even more strange guys looking at us....they did however buy us drinks. however those shots I'm sure were the downfall for my splitting headache the next day. There was another guy playing darts with us who was pretty cool. So i've decided that you are either right on or completely off with the people that go to CQ.

Here's something funny. The bartender knows who I am! She remembered me from the many times I went to get pitchers when I was with Nick. I can't believe I'm a "regular" at the captain's quarters. That truly makes me laugh.

The poor birthday girl had major hiccups so we decided to go home. I don't remember going home. I do remember hiding behind the dumpster so that some other guys walking on the sidewalk wouldn't see us. Apparently we finished the cake...there are many pictures to prove that I probably ate half of it. No joke. And apparently i took off my bra in the middle of the living room. I vaguely remember that. I also called andre. Don't remember talking to him. Called Kevin....he was smart enough not to pick up the phone.

Next morning...Jenny knocks on my door and comes in. "I'm sorry, I saw your light on and I thought you were studying." HAHA, not quite. I ended up in my bed with my shirt and jeans, my belt on the floor, and my light still on. Wow did I feel like complete ass. I seriously felt like i was back in college when you just got fucked up and you knew you would pay for it the next day. However, this was not my intention. Stupid girl.

So all in all....a pretty good birthday celebration if i do say so myself.

And then today I realized that in exactly one week i will have completed another marathon. who the fuck does that? it's weird, i wasn't nervous last year but right now i'm terrified. i know we're ready....i just am scared. I'm really excited to get out of town. portland is beautiful and i can't wait to go.

alright....once again, i've procrastinated studying enough. I promise a good blog in one week. =)

Conejo Creek

I had an amazing night. First of all, it's always good to see your friends because the first thing out of both andrew and vicki's mouth was, wow andi you look great. But then thinking about my lifestyle and how i'm running a marathon in 2 weeks, and after running more than 20 miles a week, i better look fucking great.

Then we went to Extraordinary Desserts. It is so yummy. We acted all old and professional and shit and got a bottle of wine. We chatted about old times, and new times, and it's just good to be around your roots sometimes. They have made me who I am today.

On another note, I LOVE my Tide pen. Andrew spilled a couple of wine droplets on me and i busted out the pen and voila! no stains on my shirt. hell fucking yeah.

The dessert there was amazing as well. I suggest anyone and everyone to go there.....AND it's reasonably priced.

Then we went to the Princess Pub....forced down another drink cuz we were freaking full by that time.

And here comes the best part of my night.....we went back to andrew's and watched Conejo Creek. For all of you that are unaware, Conejo Creek is a film that was made at the end of my senior year of high school. It has old photos and film clips and it is probably my favorite movie of all time. It surpasses Empire Records. Quote of the night: "Andi, you were the only one in our group with a rack. you and mara." ~andrew

that made me super happy. yay for me and my wonderful boobies.

so yeah.....a perfect night. i love my vassa.

Korn = Rascal Flatts?

OK, I just about died laughing. I'm burning cds onto my laptop itunes and i put in the self-titled korn cd into my computer and these are the albums that I had to choose from according to itunes:

Korn - Korn (ok, good call)
Rascal Flatts Entire Collection - Rascal Flatts

....whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? I don't think those bands have one thing in common. Honestly, how did they come up with rascal flatts? This just boggles my mind. And I actually laughed out loud.

Chub-Rub is no fun

so j and i went for a run up in la jolla today and it was amazing. we ran by the coast and it was perfect weather and all the happy runners and bikers were out. we are now ready for our marathon.

anyway, i am currently sitting in front of my computer, spread eagle style. and here's the reason why: i got two words for you - chub rub. For all of you that don't know what this is, you're probably lucky because you don't get it. After you run for a while, and you're built like me (no hips girl) your upper legs rub together and form the most painful chaffing ever. Usually i use a little vaseline before i run but of course my dumb ass didnt. and now i'm sitting in my underwear with my legs far apart and neosporin on my legs. yeah, i was going to go out in public and study but i don't think people would appreciate that. it looks a little inviting and im not inviting. my cooch is probably too good for you anyway. =)

so yeah, aside from the chaffing it's been a good day.

Ah friday....

So work didn't seem like a friday which always blows.

i did find out that i will be seeing my dear friend nina in vegas in october. it happened by random chance that we were going at the same time. so excited about that one.

i went to fashion to get some new running shoes. out of the 6 pairs of asics that i would buy, they didn't have my size in ONE of them. fuck that. they called around to other stores and told me to go to UTC. fuck that.

i called jenny to see if she wanted dinner. she was going out with anthony.

called joan....she already had dinner plans.

called brad....didn't pick up his phone.

called andre...he was working.

called nick...he was running down linda vista, literally.

well, looks like i'm eating by myself. i didn't want to drive to UTC at 530 on a friday night. let's just piss me off more. so i went home and ate rice cakes and peanut butter. there's a well balanced dinner. jesus.

i took a mini nap, went for a run, and went to the captains quarters with nick. always good times with nick and always good times at the quarters. mmmmmmmm......beer.

so i slept in today and have been studying ever since. woo freaking hoo.

i'm off for coffee....hopefully i will get more done outside my home. 20 miles tomorrow. better get my rest.

labor day weekend

FRIDAY:

wanted to go out...but that didn't happen. andre and i went to see the descent. i am the biggest effing pansy. i get scared over every little thing. such a loser. on another note, i was super excited about wearing my new heels. they may be comfy but i definitely have not gotten the walk down yet. i may have looked a little retarded. to be quite honest i'm surprised andre didn't make fun of me. but i love my heels...they make me happy.

we ended up at dennys and i don't think i went to bed until 3/4am. something like that. I haven't been up that late in months. wow i'm a grandma. i was kinda worried about hanging out with him...it might have been kinda awkward being we recently broke up. but it wasn't at all and i can't tell you how happy that made me.

SATURDAY:

my lazy ass woke up at noon. putzed around, drove to my aunt's in escondido, attempted to study, took a nap instead, watched madagascar (which is super cute), came home, attempted to watch sleepy hollow (it got too intense so i got ready for bed) and then i didn't study and went to bed.

SUNDAY:

j and i went to encinitas to run. it was bloody hot. and 18 miles is a freaking long ass way. enough said.

i got freaking sunburned. fuck that! i put sunscreen on. that's some bullshit right there.

i went to my company's labor day party. it was a lot of fun. i got to eat wonderful food, bake in the sun some more, and spend time with some great people. let's start out with the man whose house we were at. he is the nicest man ever. and his wife is gorgeous and so sweet. alright, here's my embarassing moment for the day.

the son of the nicest man ever is one of the hottest boys ever. so i sat down to talk with the man, the wife and the son. then the wife said, are you alright? you're neck is red and kind of spotted. ooooooooooooooomg. i'm so embarassed. let's backtrack. whenever i'm anxious or nervous my neck gets really red and blochy. so i just responded that i was okay and that i'm not allergic to anything here. meanwhile, the man totally knows what's going on - i apparently was nervous sitting next to the hot boy. he's 3 years younger than me and i'm nervous. that's just ridiculous and i am so embarassed.

and then i wanted to go out but then my body shut down and was like, fuck you sit your ass down on that couch. and that's what i did. now it's bedtime.
