you like me, you really like me... but guys don't

this weekend i got to meet a fan! hi utah! it was a pleasure meeting you! sorry, but i won't be visiting you and the polygamists in utah. it was so much hanging out with everyone, what a great night. it's always so much fun to laugh the entire time you are out.

and i have a pic to share w/ everyone, here is a group shot of the night out at kathy griffin for vitamin g and vita twin's b-day. and you can see both mb and pdp in this shot! so from l to r it's

jp, mn, sven, ss (in the glasses), jr, vita twin, mb, vitamin, ms, quanton (down in front) pdp and jd.



and in other news, i have the most unattractive people winking/emailing me on match. and the ones i find attractive/funny will look at my profile after i email them, but i never hear anything. wtf. seriously why does this have to be so hard? it's not fair, where am i supposed to go to meet guys, weho, i know, but it's weird there trying to meet guys most of them are just lookinng to hook up. you straight girls have it easy. at least you can go up to guys in a bar and if he turns out to be gay, no big thing... i do that and i could risk getting my ass kicked. i've even resorted to myspace and i can't get a guy to respond... it's like i'm trying to sell them explosive diarrhea. just when you start to feel attractive then this shit happens and you feel like the person you used to to be, all insecure and unsure of yourself and i totally hate that. but i'm using it as fuel to get myself to the gym so i don't become that person again. unfortunately we gays may be fun, but we are really shallow and judgemental (yet another reason to love us!) and if i want a good looking guy i'm going to have to get the body of a greek god! haha, it's funny cause it's true.

go go gym-bound banana

go go gonna retouch every photo i have banana!

the talented mr. banana

i know, i know, sorry for the long pause between blogs, but whattya going to do?

so there's a lot to catch up on so i'll get right to it:

let's see, mb (formerly just m, but the single letter was eventually going to get very confusion w/ the way things are going...) and i are friends now. we've talked and gone out, he's a really nice guy so i'm glad we are adult enough to be friends.

new years was effin crazy, i was in a 3 way kiss... w/ two guys that i don't even know their names, nor do i really care. after looking photos they were really just "club lighting cute" not so much once they got a flash on them, oh well, it was fun!

pdp who i'm not sure i've mentioned is the latest guy to enter into my life. he is really sweet, nice and has a great body for bonus points, it's just i never know where things stand between us. we were going out for about 3 weeks when i brought up that fact that while in bed vitamin wasn't getting any attention (none at all... pdp was the only passenger getting off in o-town...) and i was getting a bit frustrated he's a very good kisser and great at foreplay but seems to refuse to touch the region that is begging to be touched!. so they next day he says lets just be friends... whatever. so we do the friends thing for like a day. he came over watched a movie, we had dinner, it was nice. then over the weekend i go out and he meets up w/ me , vitatwin and sven, long story short he's in my bed in the morning. i know! i didn't ask him to come back with me, but i was glad that he did. of course, still no service for vitamin. so last saturday we go to the movies (underworld: evolution, excellent movie!) and he comes back to my place where we proceed to watch the falcuty and he scares the crap out of me during it. this is one of the things he does that i like, i enjoy being scared and he's really good at getting me at the perfect time. so then we are watching tv and bed and he makes the first move (i had told myself i would let him make the first move) and he does his very good job at kissing and rolling around, but then nothing, it's left up to me to please him. not that i don't enjoy getting my groove on down there, but it's w/ the understanding there will be reciprocation. so he wasn't and i stopped and feigned being tired. but he next morning he got me all riled up again and i couldn't help myself and once again, pdpgot a one way ticket to o-town while vitamin was left standing at the station.

now i think part of it has to do w/ the fact that he's never really been w/ someone before. he said he fooled around w/ a couple guys, but i'm starting to question that. he has also opened up a lot and tried things he hasn't done before. but at the same time he owns the joy of gay sex book...maybe he needs to re-read it. and a big part of is also, i'm good at what i do. now, not to toot my own horn (very dirty pun intended) but i've heard it from all 4 guys i've been w/. so as of now i'm scoring a 100%. so i'd like to think he is paralyzed from the pleasure, but at the same time, wouldn't you want to at least attempt to do the same? maybe he is worried he won't be good enough, which is fine, i'll teach him, i had to teach rr. really it's not that hard, well it should be hard, but it's not hard to do :P. however, the last time i talked to him i mentioned that he totally owes me, it hurt to eat the next day (i'm serious, my tongue has never hurt so much!) he said "noted" (this was on aim, you, know cause we're in college, right) so next time we get together he doesn't get anything until vitamin gets his first.

i feel like i'm leaving a ton out, which i'm sure i am. but i'm at work and i'm distracted by the things i need to do here. oh there was another guy in there somewhere jbw he was fun, at least he touched me, but i don't think it's going to go anywhere. oh well.

and it's been a long time since i've given a song so howabout 4ever by the veronicas, it's a catchy little tune!

if i think of more i'll post later tonight, but hopefully this will wet your appetite. and ignore all the mistakes, i don't have time to go back a re-read, so hopefully it is somewhat comprehendable.

-go go sexually deprived banana (haha!)

durrty girls

you gals who read my blog are naughty, wanting to hear all about my sinful sex affairs... i like that. i had a great time, it was the most interesting date i've ever been on. i just met him at his place (i brought a delightful dinner of subway!) and we were going to watch a movie... we ended up watching ellen degeneres' dvd (she's great). this of course was inbetween his roommates constantly coming into his room and interrupting. how the hell am i supposed to get any action w/ people constantly coming in and out of the room as well as needing things and such. he apologized, constantly, but i understood, he had been out of town for 2 weeks so it was his coming home, if you will. for me the chemistry was still there in person, he still made me laugh and it doesn't hurt that he's cute too. we finally ended up w/ a little alone time and well, this lady does not tell what goes on behind close doors... at least not on the internet. let's just say that while no bananas were "eaten", they may have been checked for "ripeness" *devilish grin*! and if you desire mre action than this, you'll need to wait for brokeback mountain... or just ask me when you see me in person haha! i kid, no, i don't, i'll tell you everything.

we are supposed to see aeon flux together this weekend, and by we i'm pretty sure his roommates are in there. which is fine. it takes some of the pressure off. and hopefully there will be a third date and who knows, maybe it'll last long enough for me to bring him to ml's x-mas party, that is unless of course he runs back to his ex :).

so this banana needs to head off to bed, i haven't gotten much sleep this week and i need to get better, especially now that my left eye is all irritated. i'm working w/ a lot of fur fabrics at works and i think some got in my eye and while slowly being pushed out is driving me crazy. so off to bed i go w/ dreams of ripe bananas!

go go banana's durrty girls (you know who you are and i love you for your filthiness)

the dating game

so banana has a date tonight! i am really looking forward to it, the guy is hilarious and we've had a lot of fun talking to eachother, hope the chemistry still exisits in person. it's always a bit awkward having met by online personals...not that i've done it a lot, and then having to meet in person. you get your hopes high for someone who, even though you know what they look like, how they sounds, what they do is even better than what you've seen and heard. so i am trying to keep my expectaions low so that i won't disappoint myself or expect too much from him, that's just not nice.

online dating is also where i am a getting a healthy dose of rejection. suppose everyone needs some, but not this much. you take the time to write an email, carefully reading their profile and incorporating what they have said, you notice they look at your profile and yet nothing. sometimes i feel like trying to sell myself in the dating world is like trying to sell these guys violent diarrhea.

hmm oh well, this one bit the hook, let's see if i can reel 'em in! haha

go go frisky banana!

it's my party and i'll cry if i want to

you know it's a party when everone screams vagina and you laugh so hard you cry. i have to say that blogger bash '05 went off pretty darn good. i made out w/ a nice lamp from y (that will totally match with my new plan to redo the wood in my bedroom) and a great bottle of wine from ml (thankies new bbffs, blogger best friends forever). we enjoyed tons of food, thanks for the yummy cookies kq, the veggies sven and the chips, crackers and cheese vitatwin. we enjoyed delicious subway sandwiches, thanks subway and me! and of course a fantabulous game of taboo. i had never played before, it was rather enjoyable.

in other news, vitatwin and i saw the weirdest thing at the tower by my parents house. some guy was at one of the listening stations and broke out into a dance routine while breathing rather heavily and creepily. i looked around at first as though i was expecting to be told i was on a tv show, but alas, the guy was just a freak.

i have discovered how unfun it is to be sick and have no one to take care of you (not that rr ever really took care of me when i was sick), but it still isn't fun. especially since i discovered that not only does my freezer not work, my stove doesn't either, now i know why i'm in low income housing. no, it should be fine i hope, i just wanted some tea, is that too much to ask for?

i am feeling a bit better, need to because ka has her joint b-day bash tom evening and i wouldn't miss it for the world! plus i really want to go out this weekend, i'm thinking a gay bar saturday night! who's up for it, cause i can't go by myself, that's just creepy. it'll be great music and lots of hot guys. banana wants to get his groove on and if it ends up i ghet my groove on with someone else than so be it!

go go dancin' banana

copy cat

so, i am blatantly ripping off ml's photo posts (i'm being honest, it is the ea after all!). here are a couple shots from around my new apartment building.






go go honest banana

life in the single lane sucks

so, m has decided to try and works things out with his ex after running into him at a party on saturday. what i am supposed to say to that, yeah go for it. no, i don't want you to try to work things out, i like you. dating sucks. what was i thinking it would be like. and i can't hate him either cause i really liked him. dating sucks. and i'm all effin emotional (i hate being such a girl sometimes, no offense ladies). dating sucks. i don't regret going out with him, i had a ton of fun, that's what sucks the most, i was really looking forward to more of that fun. boys are stupid. so back into the ocean i go to take another gander at what kind of fish i'll catch next time.

i supppose that it was a smooth transition having met m, since i didn't really have to be or feel "alone" after breaking up w/ r. he was everything r wasn't. he was warm, funny and fun to be around (though as jr pointed out anyone is more fun than r). and now i actually have to deal with being alone. it's scary and i don't like it. i don't like it at all.

y, is that lawyer still single? :) make sure you leave out this desperate/co-dependent post from my blog when you describe me!

and i have to give a huge thanks to ka, whose date i interrupted to talk about my sad, sad state. kq who offered herself up into the wee hours to call her if need be and the biggest thanks goes jr who took me to diddy reese to get some ice cream.

at least i know my heart still works... nothing like a good jab to make sure it's still there.

go go sad banana.

movin' on up!

so friday afternoon i was approved for the apartment! yay! i did my best to make it to the leasing office to pick up my keys and sign the paper work, but alas, with traffic i couldn't make it. luckily, the manger is super cool and said he'd meet me sunday morning (as i had the movers set-up for sunday afternoon!). of course, since i was completely exhausted (i had spent the night at m's on thursday so i was a bit tired...) i practically had a melt down in my car in traffic since i was literally going nowhere. it took me 2 hours to go from my apt in marina del rey to santa monica to the bank and then in making my way downtown all the further i got was pretty much back to my place by 6pm (the time the office closed. man traffic in la sucks (and not the good way).

so saturday i spent the day packing and throwing out so much of my stuff. kq came by and hauled away a ton of toys and my patio furniture (hope it looks good on your balcony!). the sunday i got up super early went and signed all the paper work and got my keys... of course the computers were down that morning so my key card wasn't going to work (great) luckily jr lives in the building and she totally helped me out that night with access (thanks jr, you rock i owe you big time!) the movers hsowed up around 3:50pm and finally had my stuff in the truck by 7 (they had to wrap all my furniture so it took forever). then they had to go get lunch... i wanted to be like, i haven't eaten all day so niether can you! but it gave us (vitatwin was helping all day pack up stuff, thankies!) time to get over to the building where jr and my parents were waiting outside the door to my new apartment. my parents are so great! they brought food and drinks and my new tv that they bought for me, a 32" flat screen hidef tv. it's a thing of beauty. so we unloaded some stuff and then the movers arrived and started unloading. luckily since i was like 8pm on a sunday downtown was pretty much deserted so they were able to park right in front of the building and take everything in. they were done around 10:45 so then my parents and sister (who had come to see my new place since she's at usc) headed for home. vitatwin and jr helped me unload a few more things and around 11pm we were done. man moving takes a lot out of you.

of course there were a few hiccups, did i forget to mention that i didn't have a fridge yet? they hadn't brought it back into the apartment and the toilet had no flusher, you had to reach into the tank and pull on the chain, classy! i was told all would be fixed by monday, along w/ my keycard (and it was). however, monday morning as i realized i needed to pull out my towels to shower i discovered that i must have accidentally thrown them away since i had bagged a whole bunch of stuff up in garbage bags, oops! so i had to dry off w/ the brawny man, which wasn't really all that bad. so monday i went to target to pick up some temporary towels to tide me over until i decide my bathroom colors, though i know i want blue and yellow (i didn't see any towels that were the right color at target so i got white). it is fun picking out all new stuff though, i got a really nice shower curtain, my mom bought me beautiful sheets and comforter (brown and blue, love it!) i am finding i hae oo much furniture though, not sure what t do w/ it all. i ned a new coffee table as mine is too big for my new livng room. i need a dining room table and chairs, a dresser as i have no drawers to put anything in. and i love taht i can pick out everything and not have to cnsider anyone elses' opinion haha!

i can't hold the party until i get tv and internet (which will all be installed on the 10th, is next week (november 13th- 19th) good for everyone? any particular days anyone would like to request?

i'm sure there's more, but i should probably get back to work (doing this at work since i have no internet at home...ugh)

will post about how amazing my new place is later!

go go banana up!

cross your fingers

i am sitting at work while i type this waiting to hear whether or not i got the apartment i want... i better have since i need to move out of mine this weekend. i already have the movers all set up to come by on sunday. it would just be so nice if this worked out since everything else is falling into place. i met a really nice guy who we'll call m. he's adorably cute and has the greatest sense of humor (just like mine!) he can cook and has excellent taste (i mean he is dating me). work is going better day by day, still a bit stressfull but loads better than it used to be. i just really want this apartment to work out so i can have a place to live!

so back to what y'all are really interested in: m. we've only been out 4 times, but i don't know what it is i feel like i've known him for years, it's nice. we can just sit and cuddle and watch tv or not watch tv haha. i just don't want to put any pressure onto anything. i've noticed i am overly ananlytical and have found myslef running as many possible scenerios in my head as possible... and it needs to stop. i usually go with the flow, i just don't know what's going on inside my head right now. i think, no, i know there is some guilt that i am dating too soon after my last relationship. but i'm also not the kind of person for one night stands and random sex. i don't want that. i want someone i can talk to and hang out with and be myself and have fun and i can do this with m. and really is it all that bad that i found someone this quick, in all reality, no. i need to be happy right? yes.

so anyways, keep your fingers crossed, because if i get this place we'll be having a blogger party there soon! and hopefully y'all will get to meet m!

go go banana out!

change, change, change...

it'll do you good. so much has happened in the past couple weeks. i am switching teams at work (which i am both excited and scared about). i think it will be a change for the good. i'm definitely working on more high profile stuff, but at the same time, i working on more high profile stuff which means even more eyes on me. the change won't happen for a couple more weeks though, so i can just be anxious until then.

i broke up with my boyfriend/partner of almost 6 years and now we are in the awkward stage of living together while trying to find a new place (though this is my first time in this experience since this is my first relationship, first boyfriend for that matter). it's scary too. luckily i have great friends to keep me busy so i spend as little time at home as possible. (thanks kq, jr and sw!) i am pretty sure i found a place to live, i'll be moving downtown into jr's building, it'll be two girls living in the city! the apartment is a great size and really reasonably priced, it'll be more of a commute, but i'll be on my own!

another change for the better is the weight i've lost. once upon a time i used to weigh 210 lbs. wear size 38 jeans and x-large shirts. here is a snapshot in that time in my life:



i know, how did i have friends (thank you to those who befriended me)

and with lots of hard work and determination i have changed a lot over the years. i was able to get down to 180 lbs and stay there for quite some time. then with the help of kq i was able to get to the weight i am today 155 lbs. size 30 jeans and small shirt! (though i'm still working, i am quite proud of how far i've come and am now searching for compliments, hee hee) plus, i don't think any of my current friends have ever seen my way before picture. i may have lost my hair along the way, but it was worth it! so here is what i look like now in a lame shot of myself, i was trying to look cool and aloof. (you try taking a picture of yourself and not looking like a doof):



so let the compliments shower in.

i also owe a song: 24 hours by alexz johnson (who plays jude harrison on the n's instant star) it's a great show and song!

superficiality to return soon

a quick update:

1: i don't need surgery on my foot, apparently er docs are just asses.

2: i can finally wear normal shoes again! no more fudiculously ugly boot (thanks kq for that amazingly useful word)

3: i found the exact shoes i ruined in the "crap it all to hell #2 poo happens" this weekend at dsw and this time they were %40 off... kick ass, yes.

4: i will be posting more often, but will stick to the important things, superficiality and tv w/ some music and poo talk in there too!

5: public bathrooms are disgusting. please tell me why someone would feel the need to redecorate a stall w/ their feces? and how is it possible for them to get it on the entire underside of the seat, the back of the toilet and the wall behind it. that's talent. or a lot of taco bell. i know i won't be inviting the general public over to my place to "redecorate" my bathroom. i almost took a picture, but couldn't bring myself to. though now i wish i would have. (got to the poo talk right away didn't i?)

6: i lost 2 more pounds bring me from 187 to a grand total of 160! i think i need to post pics of the dramatic transformation... i used to be 210 in high school... i was such a cow. how did i have friends?

7: you must watch kathy griffin: my life on the d list wednesday nights at 10. i soil myself every week watching it.

8: i owe you a song of the week.... what are the kids listening to these days? who cares! i'm in love w/ my samantha mumba unreleased tracks. especially point of view. and you may want to sit down for this exciting news... those crazy russian lezzies are back, t.A.T.u. is releasing a new album soon!

9: i will never make it to work on time.

10: go go healing banana!

don't worry i'm all right, but my right shoes are not happy!

ok, so thursday night i hear my phone ring, it's charging in the living room and i was sitting on my bed watching t.v./checking email/surfining the net (what can i say i'm a multi-tasker) so i get up and proceed to whack my foot against my ottoman(look i can spell it now, I had no idea at the emergency room, yes, that's right e.r., but we'll get there in a minute), see the culprit below. now we have all stubbed our toes before, but this one really hurt. i proceed to crawl along the floor to my cell, i see it was kq who called (to whom i also blame all of this for ;) j/k, no, i'm not). so i return her call and get voicemail where i'm sure i sound like i'm about to cry. i proceed to crawl along the florr and cry in pain to rr, who asks me if i'm being dramatic. now please understand i never really cry out in pain, i rarely go tot he doctor and rarely get sick, i like to pretend i'm not sick even if i am. so i'm like no, it really hurts, i think i broke my toe. his reply is great, so do i have to take you to the e.r.? i proceed to take my sock off and sure enough, my toe is pointing in a direction it hasn't pointed before. so i tell rr the i really think i broke my toe. his response was that he really didn't have time for this since he was studying for his class for a series 7 license. but he took me anyway. though first he has to go get my laundry from the dryer, since everything must be so difficult when something like this happens, and kq calls back while he is getting the laundry and i'm ready to pass out after seeing my toe and it hurting so bad. so we get to the e.r., though on the way rr keeps telling me i probably just stubbed it and it's fine... yeah well it's not your toe is it? (i didn't say that, but wish i had). so we get there and i tell them i think i broke my toe and then i get to wait w/ all the freaks...yay! it was around 9:20pm when we got there and the freaks were out in full force. some girl w/ a "severe ear-ache, but she was also on her cell phone the entire time. some girl whose mother was yelling at her about something and the daughter kept telling her mother to shut-up from halfway across the room since they refused to sit by each other, adorable child, excellent job at parenting. some guy w/ a laceration on his leg. some guy sleeping on the floor? a young boy (around 10) q/ his mom and aunt? who was in the e.r. the noght before for a spider bite and returned because he had been bitten 2 more times. they wer nice though, he and i looked through his i spy book while waiting. then there was some woman who was brought in b by the border patrol? i don't know what the hell was going on there. some girl right beofre us had had trouble breathing and her mother was dating some famous surfboard maker, or something like that and her showed up (yea, um he was really unattractive). the girl who kept yelling at her mother's father showed up (after she had gone back) and he proceded to fall asleep in the waiting room and snore loudly. a woman who had cut her finger got very angry at him for this and started yelling at him, though he slept through the whole thing so it didn't really do much good. at some point i was taken back to get my info down and given an ice pack which helped so much, i told the nurse she was a goddess for giving it to me. (rr had gone home to get his study materials since were were told it would be around midnight when the doctor would be able to get to me... fun!) so eventually i have to go up and sign a mile high stack of papers and finally i am taken back... or wheeled back since i couldn't walk on my own. the nurse was super nice and since i was so nice to her she let rr come back too. the doctor comes in after about 10 minutes and says so you may have broken your toe which one...oh i see which one. he was like, yeah i'm pretty sure you broke it, but we'll do x-rays to confirm. so they give me some motrin for the pain and i wait to be taken to the x-ray room. the nurse comes and picks me, a nice guy, though i wish it had been another one cause he was much cuter, but those w/ broken toes can't be choosers. let me just say hospitals are creepy. i have never broken anything before or gone to the e.r. before and being wheeled through the empty halls of a hospital at midnight was not fun. i have to lie on a table and turn my foot this way and that way and then i get wheeled back. the docter comes in and is like, yup, you broke it.



and i'm like great. but also wanted to do an i told you so to rr. the doctor asks if i would like a vicodin now so that i don't have to go and wait for a prescription that night. so i took him up on the offer. he also informs me that i need to see an orthopedic doctor and that they may have to put a pin in my toe becasue of the way i broke it, great again. the break is on a diagonal on the bone rethaer than horizontally. then martha (pronounced mar-ta) comes in to wrap my toes together. since i broke my middle toe she wrapped the 3 center toes together, luckily i was distracted during this as a super fun nurse came in w/ my vicodin. i was like, is it ok that i already took a motrin, and she was like sure, since it wasn't a narcotic. i was like what is this going to do to me, the biggest drug i've ever taken is a clariton, and she was like honey, this ain't no clariton. (love her!) so i take it and she tells me not to drive and that it will show up in my urine for 48 hours so if i have to take a drug test. the martha is all done! and she goes to get me a shoe and crutches. she returns and i'm like oh, that's fabulous! at leats it's black so i can wear it w/ almost anything! she laughed at this (i noticed more and more nurses walked by my room... of course i was the fab gay patient that everyone loves!). super fun nurse returns w/ my sign out papers and tells me that i need to see an ortho doctor as soon as possible, honey. i was like will it be okay if i have to go on monday? she's like it'll be fine honey. then she leaves and while i'm waiting for matha to return the first nurse, who gave me the ice pack walks by and i thank her again and she says you're welcome sweetie, love her too! so martha gets back and teaches me how to use the cruthes. i get let go and we head for home. rr says someting that pisses me off in the hallway and i snap back at him. i then proceed to get ready for bed and all i wanna do is sleepa nd wake up in the morning and have all this be a bad dream. oh and the icing on the cake, the wristband they gave me w/ my name written in permanent marker proceeds to rub-off all over my new fav shirt (it's so cute and i look great in it and it's a small, kq will confirm this)! great, why must my fav fashion items always get ruined? why must i be punished more after being sentenced to this boot thing for a month.

of course, i got up and went to work the next morning, largely in aprt for the sympathy :) no, i had to get some stuff done that day, luckily kq picked me up and vitatwin came to pick me up and drive me around that afternoon. we went to target and filled my prescription... though i got the generic version of vicodin (hey, it was only 7 bucks) plus i got the new cool target bottles and then i got a $10 gift card for being a new pharmacy customer, woo hoo! then we go pick up my x-rays (see above) and then to toys r us... hey i needed to buy something to make myself feel better. we then eat lunch at marie calendar's, yum chicken pot pie, sometime syou just need some comfort food. we then head back to my apartment and vita twin helps me do my laundry and we just hang out and watch t.v. while we wait, thanks vitatwin!

saturday kq lets me tag along w/ her. by-the-way not getting th wraps all wet when showering is impossible, i have tried everything and no matter what, my foot gets all wet. anyways, i get to see kq's new place see some of the cute neighborhood she lives in and then we head back to my place... i hobble to my apartment to pick up the urban outfitters catalog so i can get 20 bucks off my purchase... of course i read that it expired august 1... great. so i hobble back to kq's car (i am no longer using my crutches since my under arms and palms are killing me more tha my broken toe). we go get food at this cute little restaraunt called cafe buca, it was super yum even though the service was super slow. we then head to the 3rd street promenade and go to quiksilver so that i can get a replacement shirt... i also pick up a few other things! we then go to urban, where it blows. and then to fossil so that kq can get her watch battery replaced. we check out the clothes... kq found some cute tops and i got a cute jacket and we admired the cute boys working there. then she drops me off at my place and i crash. i sleep for a couple hours, get up eat dinner and head back to bed. then i spent most of today doing nothing other than move slowly. rr and i went out to dinner (he had apologized sat. for his bad mood, he's under a lot of stress because of this test for his job.

and i finally felt up to retelling the story, it also helps that i'm currently fairly coherent. so that was my weekend in a nutshell, fun huh? i'm taking tomorrow off to go to the ortho doctor, hopefully i won't need to get a pin in my toe (cross your fingers!) i'll reportback in tomorrow, w/ the findings. and so i leave you w/ a picture of the culprit, watch out for him, he's a tricky fellow, so innocent looking, but so deadly.




goodnight. go go broken banana!

p.s. i blame the vicodin for any spelling mistakes or incoherent sentences.

ding dong the bitch is gone

i almost forgot, my horrible, horrible devil of a boss was let go/fired, whatever today, hooray! i could've danced, ok so i danced a little. it was walked out of the building before lunch, it was wonderful. i wish i could have seen it and filmed it to watch it over and over again. i haven't felt this jazzed about work in a long time. i feel like my creative juices can finally flow freely again. and since i like to leave on notes that can also act as sexual references...

go go banana (with a happy dance!)

good god look at all the freaks: part two

so were did i leave off... oh yes, i almost missed her in the camo, it's as if half of her just blends right in. so the day goes on... we had started out by heading into disneyland first to get fastpass tickets sor space mountain, by the time we got there (about 11:30am) the fast past tickets were already for between 3 and 4pm. so then we headed over to califonria adventure and went and got fastpass for soarin' as they don't expect you to have a fastpass for another park, o how i love loopholes! we then went on to pick up some churros before hitting tower of terror, too fun! of course the guy just standing at the entrance tells us we have to finish our food before we enter into the lobby, really. well then genius why don't you try not selling churros right outside of a ride then. next we walked over towards the pier area of the park, but made a stop for a cookies and cream shake for my sis and i (we shared) and vitatwin got a cone, yum! we blow through the "tour" of a real tortilla factory to grab the free torilla and head for the orange zinger swings and pick up some slushies after riding... i don't recommend the sour watermelon, it's like drinking a sour jolly rancher, not so good. so off to mulhulland madness... love it! we then we head to taste pilots grill for lunch, yummers! then we hit soarin', what a fun ride and i finally got to sit in the front row for the very first time!



after soarin we head towards disneyland and this is where we see fashion don't number 2. tell me why would you wear heels to a theme park? why would you wear super tight pants and a super tight shirt tucked into those pants... you're retarded, that's why.



damn, she's stylin. so we head on over to d-land and hit the fastpass for buzz lightyear's astro blasters (best ride ever) and get into the fast pass line for space mountain. of course, the minute we do the ride breaks down, happiest place on earth my ass. but they hand out fastpasses that are good for the rest of the day so my sis (the smart thinker that she is) says 2 of the people from our party got out of line to use the restroom since we thought we were going to have to wait a long time. and the guy gives a fastpass for 5, which works out nicely since our parents were going to join us that evening and also wanted to go on space mountain! we then go and ride jungle cruise, take a tour of the haunted mansion, where we enjoyed ice cream before-hand and hit the pirates of the carribean. then it's time for buzz' astro blasters! yay! i got to level 4 but the pic didn't get sent to my email account :(. we go and get some fruit on mainstreet (we have to eat something healthy i suppose) and then we head to the restrooms all while waiting for our parents to meet up... and we run into them at the bathrooms, what a kawinky-dink! we get in line for space mountain, there is a 1/2 wait for the fastpass line! but it was lots of fun! quite enjoyable. we then head to dinner at redd rocket's pizza port, mmm. and after we go on buzz lightyear (again!) and then head to the materhorn. after the materhorn we get some delicious ice cream on mainstreet and then head for home. it was an all around super fun day!

which brings us to saturday: (man i did a lot this weekend) where me rr, jr, vitatwin and sven all head off to a wedding in chino. of course, me rr and jr are late and miss most of the ceremony, but we made it for the food! the wedding was pretty and mn, now ma, lloked gorgeous in her dress. it was hot, there were bugs, we complained, it was the perfect evening. oh and after suing the restroom i fell down the stairs. and there was a witness. it was dark and you had to go up into the house to use the restroom. upon returning you travel back down the steps, the last step is cement and smaller than the others and i stepped right over it and some kid saw me fall as i went down w/ and oh jeezus and he asked you alright, but continued to walk by with not a twinge of even thinking of actually helping me. i was fine and returned to our table to tell everyone. we talked inappropriately at thetable and i think we offended the bridesmaid's parents, what'cha gonna do? anywho, i took a pic of the death stairs on my way out, enjoy!



and i'll leave you w/ some random shots from my new and cheap digital camera, i mean you get what you pay for, it's a bit difficult and some of the pics don't come out well, but i love it!





notice how it looks like the colum is bending (now that's quality!)

and i totally owe a sotw, but this week you get a cd of the week! i highly recommend the sky high soundtrack w/ excellent new versions of 80s songs. it features the click five, vitamin c, bowling for soup and steven strait and more, it's super, hehe.

so go go super freaky banana!

good god look at all the freaks: part one

ok i have a lot to cover so let's get down to business.

i took two days off of work, thurs and fri, and oh the things i saw this weekend.

thursday: headed down to my parents house as i was going to disneyland w/ my brother and sister the next day. and once i got to my parent's house is was a fly infestation. now, my parents have a very nice house and my mom is anally clean, so this was driving her insane. unfortunately for us, it was just the 3 of us at home to fend off the tiny invaders. we aren't sure where they came from, perhaps a recently received package had some fly eggs in it and the flies began hatching (do flies have eggs, they must right, i know they're maggots first, right?) anywho, we must have killed about 6 and when they wer all dead, after much hysterical screaming and gasping laughter we headed for dinner - at coco's. ah yes coco's land of the freaks and we were not dissapointed, the freak gods were smiling down upon us. we get to coco's and of course we have to wait, no reason, we just do, per usual. anyway we finally get led to our booth and we notice a group of about 8 women sitting at the table next to us, nowone of them had a baby and i know all babies are supposed to be adorable, but this one wasn't. as we sit down they are getting up and are just standing around the table, mind you, it's around 6pm so all the blue hairs are out in force eating their dinners before heading off to bed, so it was quite crowded. and the women continue to stand there... and all of the sudden it's turned into a semi prayer circle, now let me give a warning, i'm not religious so if i offend you, you've been warned and it's your own fault for continuing to read. so they begin a-prayin' and we can kind of hear what they are saying... apparently they are praying so that the grandmother can stand up... she is revealed after the prayer seminar breaks about 10 minutes later (they rattled on and on about crap i didn't care about) all while blocking every path the waitresses needed to use, howabout you have jesus teach you about manners and while he's at it he can "guide" you to a more suitable "prayer place" like anywhere away from me.) and she, she mog she stands! it's a friggin miracle. so once the jesus freaks leave i notice the woman sitting behind my sister, with the masterful mullet. it's pulled into a pony tail while the front is formed into, how can i describe this, a tiara. i am dubbing her queen of the mullets w/ her royal mullet style atop her head. the ladies w/ the ugly baby (shoulda prayed a little harder for a cute one) no gone also reveal one of the strangest t-shirts i have ever seen, tell me why you'd want to advertise this on your back:

crime scene cleaners
homicide, suicide
accidental deaths

how pleseant... how appetizing, thanks for sharing asswipe. then again, what can i expect i'm at coco's. on top of all this there is a blue hair convention going on in the back room where they are handing out awards at a record setting slow pace and when they finally leave, they all need separet checks...hell is coco's. oh and those baptizin' bitches left a four dollar tip, there were 8 of them (9 w/ granny can't walk) that's 50 cents each. so jesus failed to teach them proper dining ettiquette as well. jesus, what are you doing up there? and when we return home, we discover more flies have invaded our home and go about killing them all the while screaming like school girls... at least my sis has the excuse that she is a girl.

and so we move into friday: yay disneyland... and the freakshow continues (it seems jesus is answering my prayers) and this time i have pictures! thanks to my new digital camera. fashion don't one: i'm all for big is beautiful, but not in a camoflauge corset top... honey just cuz it's camo doesn't mean it's hiding anything. just say no to camo:



and because 1, it's late and 2, blogger.com is not letting me post images easily and is being a giant pain in the ass i am heading to bed, this freak show will be continued tomorrow... and yes, there's more!

go go freaky banana!

crap it all to hell #2 poo happens

ok, yes, i'm a horrible blogger, but my days have been boring and i often have no idea what to post about. so please accept my sincerest apology. of course all boring days must come to an end!

so kq and i's friend and former co-worker, sw, had her going away last thursday (i know i should have posted this long ago, but what are you gonna do?) and on our way to her party (leaving work) i apparently stepped in feces... and so the fun begins. as we are parking the car (i'm driving) i am like "what the hell is that smell? it smells like someone threw up buttery popcorn." kq couldn't smell it, but said she did because she didn't want me to think it was her, which i had already assumed:P so i just chalked it up to beautiful es (which can sometimes smell because of the rainbow factory).

so we go into the party and stay for a bit, meet sw's 'rents her were so cute! and then head out. as we get back to the car i open the door and i see something on the floormat... aww crap, literally. oh, and i did forget to mention that i'm driving my brother's car since mine was in getting new brakes... yeah merry x-mas vitatwin! at thie point kq can smell it and just makes the "poo face" you know the face you make when you smell poo. so anywho, i look at the bottom of my show and there it is doggie diarrhea all over the bottom of my beautiful ralph lauren tennis shoes. and of course, at this point i also realize i had trackes it all through the bar where sw had her party... sorry about that! luckily, i had some plastic bags and an extra pair of shoes since i had spent wednesday night at my parents since i had a dentist appointment (still no cavities, ever!, jealous?) so i had my shoes from the day before! i used the plastic bags to wrap upmy poor shoe as well as the floormat. i drop kq off and i'm in a horrible mood, all i wanted was to go home and sleep, and now i had to clean up shit. so, i picked up gloves from the store and when i got home attempted to save my shoes. unfortunately the shoes grooves where too deep and feces was squished all the way up in their... i did everything i could, there was no hope. funeral services were short, the right shoe is still greiving, donations are welcome to help find a replacement :) of course what didn't help was the fact that i was gagging the entire time and i just said 'ef it knowing it was unsaveable, i figured it gives me a reason to buy another pair of shoes. so i moved onto the floormat which faired far better than my shoes.

however, that evening jr made me feel so much better by telling me the story of how she passed out at the wedding she attended over the weekend, where she was a bridesmaid, oh, how i would ahve paid to see that, lcukily there are pictures (not of her passed out, but w/ lopsided hair after the fall) good times!

go see sky high, it's so fun! kq and i want to see it again so if anyone wants to come along!

also, i know i said i couldn't go to ml's b-day bash, i may just have to re-invite myself as ka said the real party won't start until later in the evening as the wedding i have is at 5:30, so i will do my best to come, especially since i let everyone down and didn't show up at the party in mb this past weekend, sorry! all of the sudden i realised i have a very busy weekend!

oh another weird thing, as i was driving home last week this family in a mini van was string at me. now i know you don't see perfection everyday, but take a picture. so they wave at me, i wave back completely confused and baffled as towhat is going on, well hopefully i made their day. maybe they thought i was a celebrity? speaking of celebs, i saw florence henderson (aka mrs. brady) at my local cpk! and speaking of cpk (aow look at me stringing things together so well) kq and i had lunch there today and were waited on by a dreamer waiter who we'll call h, he was dreamy mcdreamerson. he had the most beautiful brown eyes, and when he looked into my eyes i wanted to melt, kq will vouch for me and also let you know how tongue tied i got whenever he would speak to us. (not that anyhitng would ever happen mind you, but hey, if he flirted w/ me i'd flirt back) and kq, just so you know we'll be eating there everyday this week so that we can get his schedule down:).

so i ordered "pretty cheapo", thanks for the input, man overstock is slow at getting things to you. i ordered it last week! grr.

oh and the sotw is: don't let it go to your head by fefe dobson. i loved her self titled first album and have been looking forward to a new song from her and she didn't disappoint, fefe i love thee! this amazing single is available on itunes for the low-low price of just $.99!! her first album is also available, as well as the single don't go (boys and girls) which you must get!

and i have to get up early and need to go to sleep. so until next time:

go banana, don't cha know! (wtf, apparently i'm channelling the midwest... i get it from my mother!)

crap it all to hell

why is it that when i finally get to have a life and plans to hang out w/ people everyone plans for it on the same day?

grr.

so i have to un-rsvp to ml's b-day bash (i really don't want to, honest!) because i totally forgot that i have a wedding to go to...in chino (can you sense the sheer overwhelming ethusiam?). it's for a friend from college and i told her months ago i'd be there, damn it! so i'm sorry ml, i'll buy you a prezzy to make up for it!

i am never going to get to meet my blogger buds. so i am actually taking the initiative and pick a date for everyone to get together for dinner so we can discuss our blogs. does this sound fun to everyone? which leads me to ask... so when is everyone free? or is it better i just pick a day and hope for the best?

hope we can all get together soon!

bloggers, unite!

go banana mate (now i'm australian!)

ooooo crack whores are sneaky

so the title has nothing to do w/ the post (i'm watching will & grace right now) but that line from grace is completely true. crackwhores are sneaky! especially of they're named sheila.

i don't know what to write, kq did excellent coverage of our day at comicon (visit 9lww to see) and i don't feel like typing that much.

work is meh. there is change a'commin' but i'm not sure how i feel about it. we have a new vp and she seems like she'll be cool, but i can't say i like some of the chnages she's making right now. i don't want to have to look for a new job. i am however going to look into moving elsewhere in the company, i need a back up just in case i don't like where my department is going.

i wanna get a digital camera, but i don't want to pay for it :) i want something cheap, it's fine if the picture quality isn't the greatest, i just want something i can throw in my bag and not really worry about if something happens to it.

i have two options right now, buy one from ebay which is always a gamble, or get one from overstock.com. now the camera's i'm considering from overstock don't have the greates reviews, but these people we all expecting this amazingly fantastic camera, my expectations going in are extremely low, so i could be surprised!

here are the camera's i'm looking at:

the super cheap one:
el cheapo

and the more expensive one:
pretty cheapo

now, the more expensive one is on ebay for 10 bucks, but i am waiting to see if it still comes w/ it's accessories. and if it does, we may have a winner!

oh, i owe a sotw. i know! so good by rachel stevens (yet another one of my british pop starletts). she used to be in s club 7 (who had a show on fax family... and i watched it because i have the same likes as an 11 year old girl.)

i got the single at tower records if anyone is interested. it's a great song, if nothing else it makes you feel "so good" (man i crack myslef up) even if only for a couple of minutes.

and on that cheery note, i'm off the bed!

go banana 'eh (today i have a canadian accent, 'eh)

bad banana, bad!

i know, i know, i've been a horrible blog friend. sorry. work has been draining lately and when i get home i'm too tired to even type, let alone be whitty enough to entertain my ones of fives of fans. i want to get back inot the swing though, so i am typing this while at work! yes, that's right, i'm being paid to blog! jealous!

i have to type quick too as i have a pilates class in an hour and need to leave soon (so please forgive any spelling and grammatical errors). :)

good news! replacements have arrived! luckily urban outfitters still had the brown pants i melted so i bought another pair... i have to get them hemmed still, but i feel complete once agian.

also while shopping on the santa monica 3rd street promenade (i haven't been there in a while, it was fun) i had to byuy a whole size smaller in everything, i was loving it! i bought a smaller pant size and shirt size. i had to buy small shirts, me a small (not that i'm a twig now or anything) it was great! i bought some really cute clothes too. kq has already seen quite a few of them!

today i was also told how svelt (than you us magazine for bringing this word back into my daily vocabulary) i am looking. pretty soon i'll be the hottest person in the world! maybe even the universe! i have lost quite a bit, 20 lbs and would like to lose more. my goal weight on weight wathcers is 20 fewer lbs than my current weight of 167... i don't know if htere will be anything left at that point. but lets see shall we. i've noticed that i need to get myslef motivated again, and the comment today helped. though i like how much my body has changed, i want to see more. i always told myself i just wanted to be a bit thinner and better toned, now i want those 6 pack abs and i am preparing to die for them. i am proud of myslef for taking it slow though, i haven't rapidly dropped the weight and i am learning to control my protions, though i need to stop snacking during the day... kq aren't you supposed to be helping me with that? slacking on your duties as usual.

i totally owe a sotw to everyone... hmm what should it be... howabout these boots are made for walkin' by jessica simpson (available for download at itunes and is currently the number one downloaded song). it's catchy... i haven't had the opportunity to listen to it a whole lot, but i like jessica simpson, she's fun and not a giant raging whore like lindsay lohan, though sometimes i do love my whorry lindsay.

i saw fantastic four w/ kq last friday and loved it! it was so much fun. it's how comic movies should be entertaing and fun. i totally (soory for my over-usage of totally apprently i have traveled back in time) beleived the actors as their characters, everyone did a gread job, the effects were cool and it made me feel like a little kid again! i can't wait to see it again.

i'm also totally excited because game show network (gsn) has decided to run all the seasons of the amazing race, which jr and i love! i missed the first 3 seasons so i am catching up on everything. season one just started and they are airing them avery night, so i get a new show everyday of the week! coudl it get any better?

i almost forgot i got a really great pair of shoes as well... they are robert wayne... never heard of him (the rest of his shoes were crap, but the ones i bought were little bundles of tie-able joy!)

and for those of you who don't read kq's blog head on over (the 9lww link on the right) and you can read all about my escapades at our companies offsite brainstorm... it's the entry titled "best drunk ever". somehow i'm even more loveable when drunk, who knew!

so to go back to working out (sorry to jump around so much, deal) i go and work out at the gym at my apartment complex and have never once had anyone talk to me until the last time i went and this really attractive guy started talking to me in the "locker room" (it has a sauna and jacuzzi and some lockers and showers (i would never use them because creepy old guys are always in there naked... shiver... gross!) i just go in and wash my face off when i'm done working out. so anyway, i was drying my face and hands off when in he walks, he says hi, i say hi back and then he proceeds to talk about how he like working out late too (i always go once everyone has left at like 10:30pm) and we talked for a litle about that and then i left and he told me to have a good night. now i don't know if he was just being nice or what not, but it did feel nice to think that he could be talking to me for other reasons. we'll see if he shows up the next time i work out. i'll keep you posted.

and w/ that i need to go so i am not late for my pilates class!

go banana (in a french accent)
