peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!!
so, last night: KARAOKE.
ashley, ali and I, and ashley's friend meghan went to little tokyo to go do some karaoke. I printed out directions and ashley was navigating for meghan, the driver. well, ashley got us horribly lost- getting us off on the wrong freeway, of all things. we ended up in this VERY shady area of l.a., passed by two scenes with cops in 5 minutes, and drove past a street with cocaine spilled all over the corner, leaking out of a plastic baggy. it was very disturbing.
we finally made it to little tokyo, after ali kicked ashley out of the passenger side and took charge of the navigating. we stayed for two hours, and recorded most of it on my camcorder. I sang killing me softly (fugees version), something happened on the way to heaven (phil), bohemian rhapsody, work it (I kicked ass on that one- shiboo, I dedicated it to you since I didn't have time to do dancing queen), cry me a river, and build me up (buttercup) by the temptations for justin. while I sang along to phil, a guy passed by our booth (it was a japanese style place with private rooms) and shot a thumbs up at me, and just watched me for a while. it felt really good to just sing along in my real singing voice in front of people- it was the first time I'd ever had the courage to do that.
then, we got lost trying to get back to school. by then, it was 12:15 or so, and I was tired. plus, meghan only listens to showtunes and louis armstrong, and I wanted to shoot myself in the head from the music being played. while we stopped for gas, ali and I got in a fight about seattle and boise being better than each other. we were pretty pissed at each other until we got to ihop (as we hadn't ever had dinner). we called a truce and decided boise is the coolest small town, and seattle is the coolest major city. I felt much better after that.
and, ihop burgers will always, ALWAYS be delicious to me. always.
today, I talked to mom and kate on the phone right after I woke up. they'd left me a message and seemed pretty eager to know what I'd been up to. then I went to lunch with ali and ashley at the lair, where we saw mike, and promptly congratulated him on his outstanding performance on friday at madness. seriously, he kicked so much ass!!! he did backflips and everything! I adore mike. I want to keep him for my own. we're going to take him to tiger beat, the gay club, very soon.
then, they came over to my place (which is empty, thank god) and we watched the videos we'd made together.
we have a lot of fun together, the a.k.a... still, I really miss my seattle friends. and I've been thinking about them a lot lately. so, right here, I'm gonna give out a few dedications to them, because I don't call as much as I should, or write, or email.... but they are always with my thoughts. I miss them wretchedly.
here y'go, guys:
maria: when you come to visit me in california, be sure to bring LOTS of water balloons, cuz there are a lot of suvs here that are just asking for it. I have the card you sent me with the old ladies at the hair salon on my wall here- and, yes, friends always.
rachael: honey, I'm calling you SOON. those holyoke girls will burn in satan's colon, no doubt. sit back, eat some keebler cookies, listen to david bowie and watch some vile internet movies, and feel better. I love you more than I love the taste of nesquik in the morning.
shiboo: FNYAR!!! bugee in thee fjords!! we need to make a list of things to do when I get back. too bad karp wouldn't buy the lesbian shtick anymore. let's make up for lost time, for sure! seatown won't know what hit it! EYE LUV YOO!!! SNARK!!!
mollie: I know you don't do the lj thang, but that doesn't mean you don't get a shout-out too, you busy nyc grrl. I adore you, even if you are too busy to read journals and whatnot. you are my pixiepee and I love you and all of your man-hating tendencies.
noel: I think it's hysterical that we both wrote the same rufus quote in our yearbooks-- "together we'll wreak havoc, you and me." and also, that kenshin poster you got me for my birthday? it's the sexiest one I have on my wall at home. you RAWK.
jamie: I haven't seen you in eons, and that makes me sad. but, since you're rooming with boo, there's no way I won't see you when I get back! let's do alki together for sure this time, even if it rains... which, it will, no doubt. I luff you.
jesse: you are so, so wonderful and so great at cheering me up. you have no idea how much it means to me when you post to me and message me and let me know you care. you seriously rock and I'm eternally grateful that we're keeping in touch post-hna. I'll be back in december- remember it!!
kristin (kuri): I've never actually met you, but you are also really wonderful at making me feel better. you acknowledge my sad and happy posts alike, and even offer your contact info, and that means a lot. I keep you in my prayers and hope that things are going great for you, marcus or no marcus!
rose: when do I get my drunken welsh email from you??? in due time, I'm sure! your flu better go away soon, because I miss reading your posts about your adventures in the u.k. and I really hope you're not using the same gray backpack that got chocolate crap oozed all over it.
julia: yo yo yo homie-g, k-dawg representin' da west-SIYYYYYIDE!! bitch, you know I luvs yoo, dig?? fo' real, yo. you my shizzle fo' pizzle. I miss yo' crazyass notes in chem and doin' cawfee tawk wit'chyoo. keep it real, pizazzle. don't let dem fook'n caligraphy demons get'chyoo!!
malaya: hey you, thanks for checking up on me so much lately. I know we've been in the same boats before, and I'm thankful you've been reaching out to me. also, if not for you, I would have had much harder times concentrating in junior and senior english. you rock the socks of many, especially me.
...that'll be it for now. Imma go read some more of love hina. man, am I hooked on that manga!
ciao!
