_transmutation_, posts by tag: mmmm beer - LiveJournal

Go out to our local bar to celebrate Pat's bday while he is in town... Walk in the door expecting to see our group at the big front table... Deer in headlights moment of just standing there in the doorway staring at the giant group of people that I've been excommunicated from. Head straight to the bar and pound a few beers in a row.

It was nice to see Brigitte, and Jimmy (who stayed after everyone left to have a real long heart to heart with me) and even Jason came to say hi. Jason, always so sweet. Lis came up too and gave me a hug. I didn't expect that.

My group of friends is amazing though. They new someone was wrong, that made me so anxious, but Lauren was my smoking buddy, Marco was all affectionate, and Pat couldn't stop telling his gf about how awesome Marco is, and how I'm perfect for him... <3

Well, after years of being terrified to running into any of them, giving up a Starbucks I loved to go to (even during the year, I just can't go there anymore it's not the same) and the 2 days of the year that make me feel like shit (and write cryptic lj entries about those that are still my friends not caring that it's been years and we are all adults) I finally had the run in I never wanted. I feel like I did well. I just smiled and went on with my friends. I didn't have to worry about being judged like I thought I would have. I just had a good time :)

In other news, I woke up this morning feeling like this

It is totally around the time that I start my process of getting into bed, and going to sleep for work tomorrow.

I just opened a beer. Good thing I got everything out and ready for tomorrow! Also, I'm staying after work tomorrow to get my brain worked on during a study group with my boss, the contracted PT, and all the PT's/ Dr's that refer to us. I'm pretty excited about that. I am a huge dork and want to meet the Dr that's going to be mine, once I get the time to make a first appointment with him. Knowing me I'll jump around all excited and say (way too loudly) "HEY Dr. Newman! I send you faxes all the time! Thanks for the referrals! I'm gonna be your patient! I'm SUPER EXCITED!"

That is my life.

Oh and I got a text today from the guy. Finally. We had pretty funny banter. Still in midterms. So I guess I can wait longer to grow a pair and ask him to hang out.

First weekend of March, I'm going to So Cal with one of the old roomies to see the Marines. I need a mini vacation and cannot wait to get out of my house, even for just a weekend!

Friday Night:
* Rain (BOO!)
*Thai food (YAY!)
*Drinks at BJ's (I've decided it's sorta like, Vacaville is to BJ's as Pleasanton is to Applebee's)
*Nerdy talk
*Watching a hella old movie with Ken, and making fun of it as it plays "What happened to the puppy? Does the puppy die? Swear to god I'll punch you if that puppy is dead!"
*Deathcab for Cutie

Saturday Night:
*Not dying on the drive out to Sac in a crazy rainstorm. (In a car with no heater)
*Erin being sick (BOO!)
*Dinner at the Golden Bear with Jenn (YAY!)
*No one could tell us what this new "DJ Larry" was gonna play, so we got nervous and left the Press Club (It was 10pm and he wasn't there yet, sorta a bad sign)
*Goth night at Townhouse. Jenn's better at that sort of dancing than I. The ghetto just comes out of me, and I turn into a booty shaking latin girl. Oh that's what I am.
*Smoke break and we heard good music at the Press Club and walked back over.
*Jenn getting us into the Press Club for free since "We were already here" and us finally announcing our love to the gorgeous lesbian who runs the door. We made her night.
*I'm sorry to have judged you DJ Larry, you are amazing and wonderful and made that night perfect.
*Dancing so hard and not even caring. I busted it out more than ever.
*Running into Adam (That scenester type boy I was going on dates with. Long story short, he's an awesome cool friend and we were uber happy to see each other. YAY for that!)
*Telling some creepers to get off of Jenn and I as she was my girlfriend. "We touch vaginas" didn't scare them off, us kissing and me being super serious "I'm gonna kick your ass leave my woman alone" didnt scare them off.. I think they got bored. hah.
*Sleep over with Jenn!

Sunday:
*Breakfast, coffee and smokes with Jenn... and the dog.
*Picking up Erin to go thrift store shopping.
*Laughing so hard it hurts
*Promising we'd all be Best Friends Forever.
*Finding badass thrift clothes.
*Ken gmail chatting me saying me and my roomies are "The Golden Girls"
*Super extra long hugs
*Ended the night with some "The Walking Dead" and being all warm and fuzzy in my bed.

I'm not even going to post about what I want to post about because it's still far too ridic to even bring up. So, everything else except that subject.

- Due Date was alright, pretty funny at moments but not the best.
- Henry Rollins has stolen my heart again. Staying up til hella late with a new friend reading parts of "The First Five" outloud... badass. Try it sometime.
- I fucking love Oakland.
- SF was fun! (Ohshitnottalkingaboutthatwhatthehellevenidontgetititsnotbadjustwhaaaaa)
- My life is a goddamn sitcom. I just sorta step back at times and look at what's going on, and you either have to laugh it off or just roll with it. I don't even know.
- Got a bunch of crap to start making xmas presents. I have so much fucking work to do with that.

Friday:
- Walmart after work. No sandals in my size. BUT it's the only store that sells my coffee.
- The joys of doing laundry for free at your folks house.
- Mountain Mikes pizza, Bud Light, BattleStar, and hanging out with Marco.

Saturday:
- Sleeping in.
- Home made breakfast and more BSG and good talks.
- AN HOUR DRIVE TO FAIRFIELD FROM VACAVILLE! What the!?!
- My brother's birthday party. Nerd style. I'll post some pics soon.

Sunday:
- Went to Target, Ross, and the mall. Sandals were finally found.
- Nostalgia in Pleasanton.
- Amaing dinner with the bestie (Ben) and catching up.
- More BSG with Marco who is also a bestie.

It's Monday, and I haven't been home (Sacramento) since Friday morning.. I have so much laundry to put away and a messy room. AND company tonight. Lets hope that the Thai food my boss is buying us for lunch wakes me the hell up, and makes the day move faster.

Also, I have to request a day off of work in September. So that my early B Day trip to So Cal can happen and we can buy the tickets ASAP. Shit yes I'm turning 26 and can finally shoot a gun. That's all I want. And hand turkey drawings. I request that everyone draws me a hand turkey.

That is all.

I lie, there is more. I have a new Virgin Suicides mood theme, and a paid account. I'm very happy.

Friday was our anniversary. After long days at work for the both of us, we took both of our cars to the 707, dropping mine with my family, so my step dad to could get it up to "smog standards", and we headed to Red Bluff. 2 hours, and singing along through all of Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 1 later, we arrive at our dark little Motel 6. Crappy? Yes. Did it do the job? You betcha. We had Adult Swim on tv, relatively cold beer, and a bed to cuddle in.

Saturday was his competition at Villa Lagos. I tend to grow very quiet at these things. Not only was I the only brown girl, but I am the only person who doesn't know how to wakeboard.. and honestly, doesn't ever want to learn. Plus I was buying hot dog buns only, to fill with condiments... They thought I was nuts.

But Justin got first place in his division and one of his prizes (a $50 gas card!) helped us to get home. Saw a crazy fire on the side of the road.. Nuts.

Saturday night was spent at my mom's house. Dinner of beans and rice and some sort of meat, my brother, Justin and I all playing our DS Lites in the backyard... Then staying up drinking beers and dying of laughter with them, my mom and Chris. It was awesome.

I spent Father's day with my step father (with a quick call to my real father later on.. he was with Steph's family.... eh) My step dad fixed the Check Engine light, like I needed, but also, bought me tires, popped the huge dent out of the front of my car, washed it... and filled all the fluids.. He tried to fix the AC but that's a lost cause.

We spent forever shopping in Vacaville, and went to this cute little resturant/ice cream parlor out there... The Nut Tree is looking nice.. I'm impressed, and I guess Miles' birthday party will be there next month.

I ended my weekend by hanging out with Justin at his house. Drinking some wine, and going to bed early.

I passed smog yesterday after work and went to the DMV first thing this morning... so I officially have new registration stickers on my car! It's legal to drive for a while now! YAY!!! Aaaaaand since it passed smog... I signed the last paper to get the new title made for me. It's in the mail and shall be here soon.

I own my dear baby Skullmobile... :) I'm so happy.

Another Thursday that leaves me happy and satisfied. Not everyone that was there last week (I'll mock them tomorrow for not coming) But Jeff and Kyle and I enjoyed good conversation, cheap tacos, beers and margaritas. listened to the karaoke once it hit 9 pm.. and next week, we'll hit up the Mario Kart at Jeff's house.

I love Thursday night gatherings with friends. XD

My eyes iiitch. Where oh were is my roomie?

EDIT! My roommate Nate just got home with his girlfriend. He burst in the door screaming "ROOMIE LOVE!!!!!" I adore that boy haha.

Part 1. Listening when it really counts.

So the day before yesterday I was all emotional and depressed about school. Something that often really upsets me. Justin and I were talking about his school when I broke down and cried. I, don't like to break down, and as I was pulling myself back together I said "I need to paint right now. I just wish I could paint." I went into a long tangent about how painting, even if I suck, is my major stress reliever. I can just be obsorbed by the paint and the brushes and sink into my canvas. Away from the stress. Art is what inspires me the most. And painting, though illustration was my major at school, painting is just where my heart it.

I don't have the space in my room for my art table. There is no way it'd fit. And there is no where else in the house I could put it. My paint is all in little boxes, rather easy to store, but not that table.

Low and behold, yesterday when I get to Justin's house he says he has 2 surprises for me. He bought me 1) Some canvases. (one for each of us to paint on!), and 2) a stand up easel. It gets so tall, and the angle adjusts... and it folds up and fits into a carrying bag, so I can store it when I'm not using it.

I could of cried. It was rather sweet that he listened, and went out and got me what I needed (but didn't even think about) the day after I said it. So sweet. I can't wait to go to my dads and pick up my paint. XD

Part 2. Board games with "twats"

Last night we went over to Adam and Rachel's and played a very awesome game called.... Blokus. Very much an awesome puzzle game that makes you think...

I suggest to any of you that enjoy puzzles and games.. that you pick it up. It was my first time playing. So I lost bad (even with the help of Nick and Adam) But I was starting to get my brain wrapped about it a bit. I can't wait to play again, and I think Justin's mom is buying it too.

When playing I recommend one or more of the following to go along with your game...
*As many references to Professor Layton as possible.
*Toast
*Random cat running around
*"Smell your dick" video playing in the background on repeat (I still am in shock that I'm the one that found this, and that it is actually a for real, serious.. fucking song. How ridiculous)
*Tall cans of Bud Light
*Discussions of scary Jesus movies, or my personal favorite old movie Freaks, with side show people.

Part 3. The Fail of Dale on Top Chef
Maybe I had a soft spot for him. Maybe it's because he reminds me sometimes, of my ex boyfriend and I find it amusing. I mean... grow his hair long, give him a guitar, and have him deep fry everything he cooks, and it'd be Todd.. LoL.


But no.. they had to cut him. Yeah he may of caused trouble.. but they kept Lisa. Lisa who has never done really well on the show. Who is a major failboat constantly. and who looks like she hasn't showered since she's been on the show
(good luck charm sweat maybe? Who knows)

Ugh. I don't know who I want to win. I guess one of the remaining girls, NOT Lisa though.

But all in all I had a great night. Watching Top Chef... Adam, Rachel, Ken, Joanna, Nick, Justin and I.. all pow-wowing in Nick's room... talking about the size of Professor Layton's ween... It was something I really needed.

Yay!
