March 17th, 2006 - St. Patrick's Day...For those of you who have ever been to a party at my house, the 4418, you are aware of the reoccurring theme that takes place - T&A. It is quite common to see lots of homoerotic practices take place...mostly girl-on-girl action. This is what happens when you mix ten parts alcohol and two parts hot chick, and if you are lucky enough to be a male bystander...you will get quite the eyefull. But it is purely in the name of fun...and we sure did have fun...

Thanks to everyone who came...it was great to see all of you!  I miss all of you ex-starbuckians..I'm glad we still keep in touch! Its always a good time with the sexy bitches from NoHo class of '98, '99, and 2000!!!! (Kristen, I would have liked to grab your ass more than i did...next time.  and im glad i got a pic of Soo's boobs!) Thanks also to my lovely roommates who all pitched in money and effort to make it a drama-free night!  Yay!  No fights this time...that might be a first! (Whoever pissed in the sink, though, is going to die!)

And the best part of all???  You drunk bitches left all of your alcohol behind...and now its mine!!!!!  Can't wait to have another party!

Here are a few pics from the night...this is just the first installment because there are way too many to fit into one blog. ENJOY!

Saturday, March 4th-2006...Yay! I still can't believe the Lakers beat the #1 team in the conference-the Detroit Pistons! We were fortunate enough to view the game from a luxury box at the staples center...very P.I.M.P. I got to partake in a members-only bar and private smoking patio overlooking beautiful downtown los angeles...its GOOD to be a hot chick in this town!!!!  Thanks to Jeff...again...(how many blowjobs do I owe you now?) for always  hookin' me up with some of the coolest shit in the world...the drinks and food were awesome!!! And that was a truly exciting game...KOBE for MVP!!  I am proud of my home team...and I'm thankful for my good fortune...I am one lucky bitch!!!

Here are a few pics from my evening with the boys...Jeff, his friend Josh, and..of course...my big little brother Wally!  I love you guys! 

Sunday January 22nd, 2006--Jacki and I got to witness history being made--fucking amazing!!!  Kobe Bryant had the most unbelievable game of his career, scoring 81 points, second only to Wilt Chamberlin's record of 100 points back in 1962!  I have never seen a crowd at staples center go that wild...every single person was on their feet chanting KO-BE! The man came back from trailing the Raptors by 18 points at halftime to scoring 55 points in the second half alone!  It was stunning to watch him in his zone...scoring baske after basket...leading the pack.  Tust me...we had no idea that was going to happen.  A friend of ours gave us a pair of free tickets and we thought it was going to be just another game--but we were so wrong!!  Thanks to J.J. for hookin' it up!  Bragging at work the next day was fun...and I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of that game! 

Here are a few pics from the game...thanks to Jacki for going with me and making it one of the best nights I've had in a long time!!!

Happy 2006, bitches!  Well...thanks to the L.A. fire marshall, the Giant New Years Eve Village in downtown was shut down hours before the big event, due to rain! SUCK!!! Lucky for me, my roommates decided to throw an impromtu house party with champagne and party favors included.  The dress code was formal attire, so I got to wear a dress for the first time in years!!!  We ended up having a blast, and I got to spend quality time with most of my close friends.  I was bummed about missing out on Black Eyed Peas...but shit happens...especially in this town.  Now I'm looking forward to the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, where USC is going to kick the shit out of Texas!!!!  I'm taking off work to watch the big game...I wouldn't miss it for the world! It's a celebration, bitches! Enjoy yourselves!!

Heres a few pictures from the drunken debacle...

One of my favorite places on earth has to be Las Vegas!  I like to visit Sin City as often as I can...at least four times a year...more if I can convince one of my sugar daddies to come along!  This most recent trip was one of the calmest trips I've ever been on...in part because I developed a flu-like virus on the way there.  Suck! Sick in Vegas? My playground?  I ended up spending most of my time in the hotel room watching "That 70's Show" reruns and ordering overly expensive room service!  (That food was pretty awesome though, huh Jane?) I did find time to go shopping and I did venture into the casino on the last day...just in time to lose all of my money on rapid roulette and video blackjack!  **Thank you to Paris Hotel for always accepting my loss of income so gracioulsy...that means you Dennis!! 

Even though I couldn't breathe through my nose, I still had a pleasant time...walking on the strip in below freezing temps., (24 degrees to be exact) being drunk while shopping, (mmmm...amaretto sours) and spending time with my best friend Jane! (Thanks for putting up with all the mucus!)

But my favorite part of Vegas....the showers!  I can't explain...they just feel different...the water quality is better and I never wanna get out!  If you've been, then you know...

Here's a few pics, mostly taken while I was pretty fuckin' drunk...

Last night a bunch of us attended KROQ's Almost Acoustic Xmas...it was an awesome show!  We had seats in the 8th row AND backstage passes!  Thanks to Jeff for always hookin' us up--we love you man!  I was totally surprised by how good Korn was, and NIN blew my mind!  Trent's spotlight performance of  "Hurt" gave me fuckin' goosebumps...I love Fall Out Boy, but the croed was not into it. Here are a few pics from our drunken night of fun...

I was just enjoying a glass of very cheap champagne with my roommates, and suddenly I got an urge to start writing.  I have had many things on my mind lately and I figured it was time to purge my thoughts...

So I had a conversation with a friend earlier today about the lifestyles of 20-something valley kids.  I'm 24 years old, but I still feel like an irresponsible child from time to time, like an under-developed adult trying to claw my way into some sort of pre-determined place in society. But....the thing is...I don't want to.  I like my life, for the most part, but I feel an extreme pressure to achieve a higher standard of life, one that doesn't involve prime-time television and myspace!

I live in a house in a good neighborhood with four other roommates, (all of whom I truly like), four adorable cats, and a constant parade of great friends that love to hang out in our spacious living room.  I am content in this existence, but I still can't help but feel like I'm not doing enough to further my transition into adulthood.  I have been independent since I was 17 years old...but because I didn't go to college and i work full time, I haven't been able to successfully set aside enough money that would permit me a better way of life...you know, the big screens, the deluxe luxuries, the shopping sprees....*sigh*

But is all that stuff really that important?  I know my parents want better for me, they hope that I find what I'm looking for...but what if I'm not really sure what it is I'm looking for?  There are many things I involve myself in, like USC college football games and rock concerts, and these things make me happy.  I enjoy being independent and single...I don't want the traditional american dream, but that IS what is expected of me...

Maybe one day I'll change my mind and find that I do want to live by traditional american standards...but for now...I'm stuck.  I'm young, I'm healthy (except for the bad back and smokers cough), and I'm taking it one day at a time...thats all I know how to do...
