Shake it up baybay now

This weekend was pretty low key but still really fun. The worst part was that Emily was in LA, so our group was one member short once again (it was me who broke it up last weekend). Anyways, on thursday night Kristina and I went to the Mumford and Sons concert at 330 ritch. At first I was really annoyed because our cab driver dropped us off 3 blocks away (it was raining, and my boots don't like the rain), even after I insisted that he was in the wrong place. He said I was wrong, so I said okay, but of course, I was right. Oh well. We got really lucky because we waited in a super long line, but then found out that the show was sold out. We stood awkwardly with the bouncer, and then the nice guy behind us offered to sell us 2 tickets. What a relief! We had never really heard of Mumford and Sons before so we didn't know what to expect. Inside we stood next to some hilarious drunk Australians, which made the experience extra great haha. When the show started, I immediately fell in love with the band. It turns out I had heard two of their songs before, but live, they brought it to a whole new level. It was SO AMAZING. Literally, I had chills.
Afterwards my look alike dj (haha, some gay guy with a very similar hairstyle who always wears VERY tight jeans) spun for a while and played the best music. The smiths, yeah yeah yeahs, vampire weekend, I could go on and on. We literally had the best time.
Saturday was super exciting because Leigh was in town! We went to Japantown and stumbled upon the grand opening of this awesome store type thing where they sold harajuku clothes and shoes. They also had stationary, cupcakes, miniature silverware, and pretty much any other random thing you could imagine. It was so cool! We then went to pika pika, which is pretty self explanitory by looking at the photos. Fun is the only word I could use to describe this place. It's pretty hilarious, because all of the instructions are in Japanese, so although we didn't end up with the backgrounds we wanted (hence the japanese instructions), we had an amazing time. The night was topped off by sushi and starbucks. PERFECT. I then went back to my room and watched a few episodes of the 5th season of weeds. Yessssss please.
The rest of the weekend consisted of city wide pillow fights, fishermans wharf, crazy people, you know, the usual. I got out of class an hour and a half early today, so obviously it's going to be a good week! I also have my first AIESEC meeting tonight, which i'm really excited for. Annnnnd............ SALLY COMES TOMORROW!! I couldn't be more excited. It's exactly what both her and I need, and I can't wait to have massive amounts of fun. San Francisco, get ready.

PS: here is one of the photos from pika pika, and a link to mumford and sons website. Def take a listen/look (they're really hot btw)

Long time no blog

Jeez...it's been over a week since I've blogged last! What a great way to start up a new blog...haha. Well i've been so busy with school, my mom coming, and everything that I feel like I'm just now able to slow down and catch my breath. Ahhhhhh. So as I sit here in my bed with two corn packs on my body, let me tell you about my week where I left off.

Wednesday:
Wednesday night I went out for tapas in the mission with Emily, Kristina, and Sasha. Sasha has a car, so it was nice to avoid buses and cabs. I was starving once we got there, so looking at the menu, any bit of self control went out the window. I opted for the healthy options, ordering deep fried macaroni and cheese strips (weird concept, soo good), mashed potatoes (they were gross and tasted like old lady...not that I know what old lady tastes like haha, but you know), and then a basket of fries for the table. I feel like I was gaining weight by just looking at everything, but it was worth it because it was sooo good. Afterward, we drove to get some frozen yogurt for dessert, and found a cute place over in the Russian Hill area. We blasted some Alanis Morisette (or however you spell it) and got our treats, then we went back to school after. A good night was had by all!

Thursday:
On thursday I woke up early for my public speaking class, only to get there 5 minutes early and be the only one. I waited for about ten minutes after the class started, and I was still the only one. There was clearly some memo I had missed, I somehow seem to be very out of the loop haha. Anyways, I didn't really care because my mom had arrived, and I was super excited to see her and my grandma. They came and picked me up at school, and we went to this super cute place for breakfast place in lower Hayes. I then went to a coffee shop for the rest of the day and did what felt like endless amounts of homework, and I only took a break to skype Katie, which was hilarious because I was in a silent coffee shop , so I couldn't talk, so we just stared at each other while typing to each other. Then if we saw someone interesting, like a weird person, bad outfit, cute guy, etc, we would try to discretely tip the computer so that the other one could see. HAH, didn't really work.
Thursday night I went with Emily and Kristina to 330 Ritch to go to se V.V. Brown, whom we had never even heard of before. They were from London and reminded me of m.i.a. meets lady gaga meets indie rock/hip hop. Hard to describe, but they were awesome. After the show, a dj spun awesome 80's and 90's dance music and hip hop, with the occasional pixies or mgmt. The music was AMAZING, and we all had so much fun dancing the entire night. We got back late, and slept in the next day. Those nights are my absolute favorites.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
This weekend all blends together as a mixture of business and pleasure. My Aunt Cindy came in on Friday, so she, my mom, and I went to the castro and mission. She hadn't been here in years, so I wanted to show her some places that are very San Francisco-ish. The castro is unique to say the least, and always super fun. We went to the mission after that and I scored a jean jacket at a thrift store. Yes!
The rest of the weekend was mainly spent working at the gift show, which was much better than I had thought. I had never worked with this woman before, so I didn't really know what to expect. I got there and she was really nice and laid back, which I liked. When she told me to pick out a necklace to wear/model, she said to pick something big. I picked this awesome sabertooth necklace, which in my opinion was big (and I'm not the most conservative of people), but I guess she meant reeeally big. She pulled out this giant sea shell, about 6 inches by 6 inches, and the most hideous shade of light orange possible, and goes "You can totally make this look awesome." So now, here I was wearing this giant sea shell, and people cracking jokes like, "wow, that sure is an eye catcher..." Ahhhhh. It was literally so ugly, but really funny at the same time. The customers were annoying for the most part, and the days went by really slow until I got out and got to do things with my family. It was awesome getting to see them, and we had a really good time! Plus, now i have a little more cash monnaaaaay.

Thats about it for now, sorry this is so long, but I haven't had time to blog, but I wanted to write all of this down!
adiosss

DEFYING GRAAAAAAVITY

I'm sitting in Borders books doing homework, and I'm pretty sure everyone can hear the Glee show tunes blasting from my headphones. That is all.

MA MA MA MA

We know what that sound means...well at least to me it means MOM!! My mom and grandma are coming today and I can hardly waaaaait. I've been looking forward to it all day. And I just found out that Aunt Cindy is coming as well, which was such a pleasant surprise, and totally guarantees tons of fun with lots of laughs. I'm so excited!! Today has been such a great day so far. I went to my business class this morning, where we did this case study of of opening a pub. That class has been soo boring and repetitive lately, but today was actually super fun because it was a real world situation. Plus, it involved a lot of planning and organization of things, which excites me to an extreme. Hahaha, im such a loser, but planning and organizing happens to be one of my favorite past times! We also took a class photo, which is soo lame, and it happened to be on the day where I decide to wear a lacy sheer shirt with a black bra. Sexy. A little too much for the class photo, but hey, go big or go home. (Thats what she said). We lined up into two rows, tall people in the back, and short people in the front. Guess which row I was in? Hahaha, hard one I know. (lets abbreviate it to twss hahahaha ;) This super short guy asked if he would be considered short, and while everyone was thinking "uh, duh," in their heads, this super hilarious exchange stuent from Finnland goes, "Yaw prouubobly." I started CRACKING up. Witty remarks are funny already, but add a finnish accent to it, it makes it a million times better.
After class I met Kristina for breakfast, where I was greeted by her drinking chocolate milk, which made me laugh because last night we both had the most intense cravings for chocolate milk, so the fact that she woke up first thing and got chocolate milk is TOO FUNNY and also soo kristina. Hahaha i love her! Then we went to Starbucks for coffee, where we walked past emily's dorm building to yell outside of her window to wake her up. "EMILY! EMILY! WAAAAAKE UP!" It didnt quite work, but eventually we were all reunited and went to get coffee.
In rhetoric today we discussed our ideas that we are going to do for our projects, and of course everyone was doing the stereotypical violent situations. I'm going to do mine about the Jonestown massacre, which is super interesting and really unique. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but a great idea for this project. I debated for a while on whether or not to share it with the class, because I HATE when people copy me. When I finally decided to tell my teacher my idea, she loved it. I knew she would haha! But that was just a little bit annoying because she started listing other cults as other ideas for the class. DOING A CULT WAS MY IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE AND IF ANYONE DOES IT.........yeah. I'm trying not to sound cockey, but I always come up with these great ideas and people always end up copying me. At least she knows that it was my idea first hehe ;)

Swiping my blogging V-card

Woo hoo! My first entry! I've been thinking about making a blog for a while now, but I've never really had the motivation to do it. Like, what would I write a blog about? I know quite a few people who have blogs, but I never really knew exactly what to do with mine. I kept thinking that my blog needed a theme, but now I've come to the decision that the theme is my life. Hahaha, sounds corny, but seriously, I have some of the weirdest, funniest, craziest, and all around interesting stories, but I never write them down. (Well, at least I think they're all of those adjectives that I just listed, but that's neither here nor there ha). Even if I get 0 blog views per day, that's totally okay with me, because I'm doing this mostly so that I can look back, remember, reminisce, and what not. I'm only 18 once! This is beginning to sound creepily cliche, so I'm going to quit while I'm (somewhat) ahead.

It's 9:47, past my bedtime! Nighty night!
