ThuGG Life tHuRsdaY

ThuGG Life tHuRsdaY started out absolutely hysterically.
First off let me preface this entry with the fact that I worked from 9am to 730pm on wednesday. That is TEN & 1/2 HOURS. STraighT. NO BREAK. other than my 3 min bathroom trip around 4pm. what a joke.. i know, stupid choice on my part. but hey, can't win 'em all. So, i get home around 8 and i sit down on a bed and i didn't move from that spot till 2am.
i finally went to bed around 2 on wednesday night (thursday morning) b/c i was finishing a paper that was already late.. i then moved to MY bed and fell asleep so fast from pure exhaustion. That's all for White Trash Wednesday...

NOW ONTO THUGG LIFE THURSDAY-

So Thursday morning i woke up to a phone call around 1030am, then sat in bed for a while like usual and eventually got up the energy to move around 1045. :] When i went to stand up my whole right leg was asleep. I would step on it, and it would give in. So, i guess you could say, THuGG life ThursdaY started with a LimP. :] haha which means for a solid 10 minutes of my life... i experienced how the "gangstas" walk. it was so surreal. I can't even describe the sensation that was going trough my body when i realized i was limping.. but then again, it could have been the crazy tingling feeling b/c my leg was asleep.

So then i thought?? -- maybe that's how it all got started?? The coolest guy in the 'hood' walked with a limp b/c his leg was asleep, and then everyone just followed suit.


I'm just saYin'. You know these guys have mastered the LimP. i think the key is either baggy pants or one of your legs being asleep. try it sometime. kid tested, mother approved. :]

CALIFORNIA LOVE

It all started a few weeks ago when i stopped getting the recommended daily value of sleep for a 2million calorie diet.. who knew that these sleeping habits would pay off..?

Sun. March 8- 6hrs. 4a-10a
Mon. March 9- 7hrs. 3a-10a
Tues. March 10- 7hrs. 3a-10a
Wed. March 11- 6hrs. 4a-10a
Thurs. March 12- __hrs. 330a-??

11:15aM Wednesday- Text from Whitney. "I'm 100% IN!" This was in response to my phone call the day before about coming to California with me from Thursday to Monday. So I frantically got ready to leave. Cleaned the basement (never looked better), packed, loaded up, grabbed Whitney, and hit the road.

And so it began... The trek across NevaDa.. Smelly, dirty, brown, ugly, NEVADA..
SIDENOTE: Natalie's toal time driving: 8.5 hours. Whitney's total time driving: 0.7 hours) haha Whit doesn't do well at night/in the dark. She DID stay awake with me the whole time though.. and She is one of the BEST DJ's i knOw!

We drove for soo flippin' long, and we eventually made it to reno. that is when bliss kicked in.


After experiencing a little piece of heaven on earth at IN-N-OUT [reno] we tipped off the tank, pumped up the jams, threw back the caffeine, and rolled down the windows... CALIFORNIA HERE WE COME RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM..

We ended up getting into town around 1am (PST) which really felt like 2am (MST) for us... Which means, now at 3aM, i feel like it's 4aM, i am hyped up on 1.2 liters of Pepsi/cOke (the caffeine to keep me conscious) and I cannot go to sleep.
So.... "from oakland to sactown, the bay area and backdown, cali is where they put they mack down. CALIFORNIA LOVE.."

is the pain really worth it?

Well, i dont think i ever shared my snowboarding experience.. so here it is:

First, I spent most of the time like this. My friends sat in front of me trying to explain it... i listened and listened but it never really sank in until i tried it myself...
(no, this is not me... i wouldn't be caught dead wearing pink while i was snowboarding..)

Then i ended up like this... after falling and all that crap i always landed on my butt. Then i would have to FLIP completely over because i could not get up facing forward..
(this could be me, the color scheme is right, but i'm way to cool to wear protective head gear) :]

So pretty much i spent most of my time on the mountain looking like this... on my hands and knees in pure rage that i sucked...
this is pretty much exactly what i looked like.. except for this is a boy.. then again, i probably looked like him too.

Until i got good and did this:
I know i know, i'm amazing.. so is the person i stole this picture from.. :]
Well, Either on my knees, hands or my butt. It hurt dang bad. It was a ridiculous amount of fun, but so dang painful!

The next day, I had the opportunity to live a life i never thought i would get the chance to... I was handicapped. I've never used so many handicap buttons and elevators in my freaking life. (and those of you who know me, that means it was A LOT!
EXHIBIT A:
Now not only did i use the handicap buttons to open the doors... but i used the elevators as well...
EXHIBIT B:
that sad part isn't using the elevators, that's normal for me... it was the fact that i used them TO GO DOWN!!!!
EXHIBIT C:
Sad i know..

Well, overall a great experience. I haven't been back since. (we went the 2nd week in JANUARY!) i think i've finally recovered.. ;] now the question is... is the pain really worth it??

Oh yES.

Happiness is... CupcaKes.

and we had a birthday... Our friend Ben's birthday was last sunday, so we made sure that we partied despite it being the sabbath. Order of events? Make Cupcakes. Sing song. Eat cupcakes. It was precious. I don't have much to say for once, but here are the few fun pictures we got from the night..
Katie and I with our fun cupcakes.
(they're pool table balls. so fun!)
Ben is the one blindfolded... duh. with his fun Washington monument figurine present... it wasn't really the monument, it was just shaped like that.) Chris is the one with the bright idea to blindfold him....

Good times.

not a fan.

Ice Skating is a horrible sport. It is one of the most painful things ever. From the minute you put the skates on, your feet already hurt. The only way you feel safe is when they're so tight your feet go numb. But then, your feet are numb, so you can't really control your skating.

and then there is the fact that there are a million other people sucking just as bad as you, if not worse. So then you just have a million and one people skating and about to die the whole time. then there is that one person who is good. that one person who just skates in circles around everyone else. and you get scared because they're going past you so fast.

EXHIBIT A:



And then you have your friends...


That no matter how cold you are...
or how much pain you're in...
or how slow you're going...
or how embarrassed you are of them...

they never let you quit...

unless of course, they're ready to quit too. :]

Overall, super fun night. not because of the event, but the people i partied with... =] videos to come. holla.

Bros BEFORE Hoes

This quote made my freaking week. it's great.

"Bro’s before ho’s. Why? Because your bro’s are always there for you. They’ve got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho. And you told her that she was the only ho for you and that she was better than all the other ho’s in the world. And then…and then suddenly she’s not your ho no mo’. "
-Michael Scott, The Office.
