for some odd reason,
something inside me has told me to write another blog.
and the only thing i could actually think to write about is this winter break.

so the break started out with me going on a hunt for one of my christmas presents,
guitar hero for the wii.
i'm not gonna lie,
about every other morning i would "happen" to wake up by 8 or 9 and call stores that would have em.
but no luck.
so i resorted to craigslist.
got on aaron's iphone,
and called tons of people
until finally
i got it,
met this skinny asian guy at ralphs by pch and 7th
and bought it for $110 (retail $90)
so that preocupied me during the mornings/afternoons of the break.

December 28, 2007
i went to a chain show
to see Underneath the Gun,
but Impending Doom was headlining
(booooooo.. hahah kidding tristian, and whoever else likes ID =P)
it was one of UTG's "return" shows
so i was super psyched to see them.
jeremey and i were lucky enough to grab spots on the side of the stage,
so i could take pictures while the bands were playing.
and it was wayy cool
cause we had a rotation going on.
it would be jeremey, zach (de la rosa), and me sitting before the band started.
and then when the band started,
zach de luna would hold my spot for me
and we'd rotate and so forth.
anyway
their set was amazing
(to me at least)
i didn't really know the guys in UTG,
but the ironic thing is,
this random guy who was at the show,
that looked like a total goober
was one of the original guitarists for UTG (no offense, haha)
but anyhow,
that was fun.
and then afterr
was kevin's hotel "party"
haha i say "party"
because by the time i got there,
there was literally the-number-of-fingers-on-your-hand amount there.
anyhow,
i remember bringing kaitlin and marilyn to the party,
and taking them home by like 3am-ish?
and then getting back to the hotel and seeing all of the boys passed out.
so then i just went back home and slept in my comfyy bed =]

new years.
"you going to that carson party?"
"it's a poly party"
"whatever, lets go"
i remember news years started out at alex's house
sitting around watching the science of sleep.
then a little bit later
i remember going to famima with arik
grabbing more jackets from our houses
then heading back to alex's to get cale
and then heading to pick up nikki, ally, and cassondra.
so my car was packed with 4 people in the back,
and arik sitting shotgun.
we get to the place of the party,
and realize that it's a gated community,
luckily enough though,
a car was already going in,
and the gate was open
and i remember just saying "RIDER!!"
and zooming through it.
we find parking and prep our "stuff"
arik and i had the goose with starbucks,
so that was quite tasty.
$4 dollars to get in
3 guys standing at the door.
but the only name i remember is JJ
we go in,
no ones really there.
except a bunch of underclassmen,
and some of the usual faces from alex's house.
so then i started telling people my age to come
and by 930-1030ish?
everyone i wanted to see was there.
and this was probably the prime time of my drunkness
i hadn't drank in so long that i was pretty shitty.
i just remember dancing with a bottle of grey goose in my hand.
and going out in the backyard behind the house with hunter and 3 other girls
(who i will not name, hahaha)
and then just having a freakin' great time.
oh! i was also able to get nick (scott's friend) drunk,
causing him to get his first hook up (thats my boy!)
so i felt like i did somewhat of a good deed =]
new years countdown,
i remember sitting on the stairs with cassondra,
and then as soon as everyone said happy new years,
i ran around and kissed a bunch of people
haha i don't remember exactly who specifically,
but i know i did.
then everyone got kicked out not too long after 12.
we piled everyone back in the car
and got back to long beach
i got some gas
and then we headed to laruen bussys house
that was quite an "after-party"
i finally hit the sack by like 4am.
and to say the least,
it was an awesome new years.

souplantation.
cameron was nice enough to treat me kai and cale to souplantation.
i don't really remember exactly what day it was
but i want to say monday?
anyhow whatever.
it was just funny
how much of a fatass i was because i had the biggest salad
with the most randomest condiments
but one thing i'll remember exactly is getting a text message from ren
his ass all the way in seattle saying
"how do you stop being high?"
and all i could think was "wow..ahahahahahahahhaa"

january 1, 2008
the hookah bar, in downtown long beach.
me, dani, catie, nikki, ryan, cale, cameron, kai, and scott.
white peach, sex on the beach, guava, and tropical sunrise.
that was just a fun night in itself.
but it was sad to know that ryan and dani would be leaving to swat the next morning.
i just remember before i went back home,
we were at dani's house saying our goodbyes
and i possibly had the longest hug with dani
and hearing "i'm going to call you every night i'm there, i promise"
and needless to say over the time she was there,
i receieved those drunken phone calls every night. =]

january 4, 2008
anastasia's partyy
that night was very eventful as well.
honestly don't remember too much,
but i just remember calling a lot of people
haha.

oh yeah,
besides guitar hero from keeping me occupied during the days.
i was able to finally get my mr. and mrs. bruin talent down.
it's about two minutes and thirty seconds long
and i'm playing a compliation of songs on the piano,
songs that i'm sure people will recognize.
if i make it through, all of you wilson people better go and cheer for me.

january 5, 2008
it's the last night of winter break,
and i'm upstairs playing the piano.
then i get a phone call from marilyn
"hiiii chris, we're back from swat, what are you doing?"
"i'm just at homeee, you can come over if you'd like."
"alright rachele and i will be over in a bit."
"okayy see you thenn."
i get another call from them saying their downstairs.
when i open the door i see marilyn walking up to me with food in her hand
and a big smile on her face
she greets me with a kiss on the cheek and gives me a hugg.
rachele comes up next with a big smile on her face as well
as she has to semi bend over to give me a hug
(cause my asian ass is just too short, but i love it though =])
we get upstairs
and we all sit on the floor as they're telling me their swat stories
and mann, those were quite interesting, i'm not gonna lie hahah.
but the funny thing was,
i was still really congested and my hearing was really dumbed downn,
that i had to always lean in to try and hear their stories and what not.
they also had the privledge to see my routine for mr and mrs bruin,
but i was really nervous, that i effed up a couple of times.
(haha sorry!)
but they were nice enough to say that it was good =]
we talked for a bit,
played some guitar hero
and i burned two cd's for rachele
it was already into the next day
and they were super worn out, so they had to call it night.
even though i knew i was going to seem them again by monday
it was sad to see them leave.
but our goodbyes were the same as when we first saw each other
that semi-bent hug, and that kiss on the cheek.
as i closed the door and headed back to my room to fall asleep
i was glad to know that i didn't waste the last night of my winter break,
cause i was able to spend it with two girls that mean a whole lot to me.

oh yeah,
before they came over,
my aim away message was "my head hurts"
and when i looked at it before i went to bed and it said,
"rachele and mying made me feel better"
i knew rachele likes to change my away messages,
but that was the truth.
=]

kind of a bummer,
but my winter break is coming to a close with me being sick.
but i'm taking the time out to relax at the house
and sort of recooperate.

it's crazy to know that monday we'll be back in school.
and that leaves a couple of weeks till the semester is over
which is also scary to know that one more semester and i'll be graduating.
i'm pretty sure i'm going to be posting something after i graduate.

butttt,
i'm psyched for formal with brittany
and sweethearts with dani at poly.
=]

i think i can end my ranting here,
i know this isn't all i did over the break,
just a tad bit of what i can remember.
but one random note is,
it's now like 2:52 and i'm finally finished with this blog.
but i'm still freaking in my pj's
hahah so i think i'm going to take a shower after i post this.

funny thing is.
when i get back to school, and that one teacher will ask
"how was your winter break?"
i know i'll find my self saying
"it was alright."
hahah
