friday night: so brett has this friend, her name is melissa, she is dating this boy named zachary, it was his birthday party friday night. people in LA do things a bit differently, it's awesome. instead of the standard party, she decided to have a giant scavenger hunt for her boyfriends party.. i know what you're thinking, a scavenger hunt? what are we? 9? but it was so much freaking fun! there were three teams, the awesome red team, the blue team, and the green team. we (awesome red) started out at in n out where we got 3 of the 25 tasks accomplished.. we had to get to go cups, ask a stranger for a french fry, and eat a 4x4, which is like this burger with like 4 patties on it.. we let the boys eat that ha ha

then we ventured to a public park where we had to shotgun a beer (totally illegal) and make a human pyramid, we were able to get four boys as our base and then us three girls (me, b, and this chill chick named kat) were on top (that's what she said).

from there we wondered to like this main street area where there was a movie theater, bars, restaurants, etc... we found a very nice man (don't remember his name) who let us mummify him with two rolls of toilet paper, and let us pretend that he was famous and we were the paparazzi, two more tasks done! then we went over to the movie theater where we had to find a vampire that would bite us.. luckily we were given vampire teeth and it was the premiere of twilight, we made best friends with this chick loanna who pretended to bite britta, freaking awesome. then her and her friend did a "cheer" using a megaphone and sweet cheer moves for zach... another few tasks down.. while we were at the movie theater, we posed w alvin and his chipmunks :)

from there we hit up the bar... where i had to change pants with this boy in our group, sobe, and we had to go buy drinks.. bonus points if someone else bought you a drink.. so, i walk up to this guy named alejandro (make sure you say that with a spanish accent, sounds so much better!) and straight up ask him to buy me a drink.. he did, and picked it, long island ice tea.. basically the drink of death... then he started to get creepy and wanted to make sure that i got "faded" (his words not mine), so basically i chugged that and we were out of there! oh and i changed back into my jeans.

so from there we had to find these posters on the wall at trader joes and mimic them.. they were all of turkeys in funny poses, weightlifting, surfing, etc. then we had to play leap frog in the fountain, hoping that it wouldn't turn on! we went over to the hotel where we were able to find a brochure for rubber ducks (weird stuff, i couldn't make this up if i tried) and we had to be paid for entertaining someone.. so britta dropped it like it was hot and brett i think was beat boxing ha ha.. anyways, this nice lady gave them a dollar so that was that!

so all in all we accomplished all twenty five tasks on our to do list, sadly only like a third of what we did is on my camera.. everything else, like fluffy bunny, getting bottle caps from this other bar, and taking a picture of firemen are on other people's cameras.. hopefully they will all surface to the internet in time...

friday the 13th

so britta and i were on our way to this magic show/comedy show/concert in santa monica right? well we turn down the road where we think it's at and there's like a valet service in the middle of the road that stops us, so we get out of the car because the mexican valet guys said that the real parking lot was way too far for us to walk to. so they take away the car, like valet does. we walk up to the building and everyone there is dressed super nice and they are walking around looking at stuff.. apparently we had super confused looks on our faces because these guys ask us if we are lost.. we find out that we are at a nissan launch party.. then i made friends with this guy cameron and he snuck us in the back door so we could hit up that party... yeah there was like free foods and free drinks.. and apparently nissan in unveiling this new electric car so we were able to see that and play with that.. it was cool.. oh, and also, when we met cameron he said that we could just leave our car after hours cuz the nissan party was only going till 10 and we would be there till at least 11.. so he said that he would just get our keys from valet and we could call him after and he would find us..

so we leave the nissan party and go find the real party/event that we were supposed to be attending.. as we're walking we totally walk right past where britta's car had been parked! so we ran back to the nissan party and grabbed b's keys... we go to our party and there's this comedian who is like super funny (alicyn packard) and then freaking awesome magic shows (amazing!) it was way cool.. afterwards we headed to this bar because it was this guy ryan, who i work with, birthday party. so we went there and met up with him.. b and i are standing at the bar and this weird guy from ukraine comes up to us and starts talking to us right? suddenly he tries to start licking us! let me repeat, LICKING US!! so then a few minutes pass and we decide to make a run to the bano.. but before we can really get anywhere these other guys come up to us and start asking us about the crazy ukrainian man... apparently the ukraine dude was semi-hitting on them ha ha, it was funny

Can I Get a Hu-Ha Two Times Tuesday?

So nothing really exciting happened today.

Nothing boring or bad happened either.

Today was just one of those days that becomes lost in a sea of days.

Chances are, I won't remember this day.

What makes a day worth remembering?

For that matter, what makes a person worth remembering?

Somebody died today.

Somebody was born today.

Somebody's life was drastically changed today.

And I won't remember today.

my last week in a nutshell (or in a blog, whichever you prefer)

so these are actually snipets of an email i sent to chelsea, my long lost best friend who lives in italy...

i thought it would be easier this way to update my blog ha ha

job: this last week all of the executives were in orlando so the office was super quiet, which allowed time for mingling :) i made friends with some of the people that i work with... thought i was in love with one of them, mike, then found out he was happily married, that crush was short lived. britta and i got to watch saw 6 for free at the lionsgate screening room.. that was awesome (both the screening room and the actual movie) which reminds me, do you get to watch movies there? or is everything in italian? got paid last friday (score!) pay check going to rent and the credit cards in which i charged all the new clothes i had to buy for work, that part sucked.

boys: met this boy bryan at this party last last weekend (like the 24th), we were supposed to hang out yesterday, we both bailed on each other... a true match made in heaven :) thinking of asking him out again for this weekend... met my neighbor's brother, i might marry him. his name is josh, super pretty, super perfect. he even called our running into each other in the laundry room a "date", loved every minute of it.. he's from illinios, super hot accent.

friends: britta-still engaged to brett, they're planning their honeymoon tonight, i don't think i am invited. whitney (i stalk your sister so much i decided we are bff's now)- i hear she will be home for christmas, really i read that on her twitter (which you should totally join), so does this mean that you will be home for christmas too?! i sure hope so cuz i'll be there too! i'll also be home for turkey day, so stoked... might hit up the mall at midnight on black friday. jessica- i've called her twice with no response, her engagement details are still pending. analee- recent stalking shows me she was in a fashion show with dogs, look it up. chelsea- did not email me back last week, slightly worried she married a hot italian and now lives on a mountain top and owns a flock of sheep. kjersten- that's right, made a new friend... well really she is friends with britta, but we could be friends too... went out to dinner w britta, kjersten and her two friends friday night, found this awesome dive bar called bourbon street, made friends with the owner and our server.. resulted in free drinks, score.

family: they're good. jake comes home next week from japan for like 3 weeks (he'll be home for turkey day too! -so excited) then he's off to iraq (boo). megan, love her, miss her. brother, ya he turns 16 in two weeks.... watch out for him! dad, loves me :) ha ha

church: normally not a category but it will be this week. went to church w britta and brett yesterday, they go to a family ward... full of couples that are only 23 with 3 kids, and then they let those 3 kids scream and squirm throughout sacrament, whatever... went to opposite ward's sunday school, full of old old people. last week was my turn for the fhe (yep, weekly ritual) activity... we carved pumpkins :)

health: so, saturday, i go to this doctor place right... as i'm about to leave i start feeling ill, slight headache, things start to spin, the usual. i decide i am going to faint so i ask the doctor lady for some candy (sugar helps), she's brings back fortune cookies (which don't have sugar fyi) anyways i eat those and i'm feeling better, as i stand up to leave i hear a crunch in my mouth... at the same time i realize i am going to faint.. sure enough i do... somehow i had managed to get back on the bed/table thing so that's where i wake up... i try swallowing cuz there is still cookie in my mouth, and i'm chewing something crunchy, no biggie.. i'm eating a fortune cookie right? wrong... yeah i chipped like half of my tooth, chewed it up, and swallowed it... all while dying on the table... so i have the people call my emergency contact (ms britta lynn) and her and brett come to get me...) afterwards we spent the next two hours with me crying, driving around los angeles trying to find a dentist to put me out of my misery (no such luck)...

halloween: because britta is the proud owner of 8 stitches (secret story) and i had a day from hell, we decided not to do a single thing for halloween... we rented a movie and ordered pizza, and it was fantastic! ha ha

so yes, that has been my life in the last week. bam.
