There's so much to blog! There's no time to rinse!


The Answer is D: Huntington Boob

So I went down to see Melanie in Huntington one weekend now that she's all settled and bored out of her mind. Her little place is pretty cute and super close to the beach and perfect for her. Once I got there, we decided to hit up BJ's on Main Street since she hadn't eaten at all, and I had only consumed food units from Burger King (a noteworthy occurrence). There, we had the bestest pazookie and the worstest service, but hey, we successfully got our parking validated and avoided that one bar we "accidentally" walked into. After a few episodes of the Office (Kevin: "Will you please say, 'This is due back on Thursday,'?"), we decided to hit the hay because we had a big day ahead of us.
We woke up bright and early and got our Jack in the Box breakfast and went and sat on a curb for a few hours until we reached our goal: the RVCA Warehouse sale! It was amazing, and let's just say, for every 5 shirts you bought, you got a 6th free, and well... we got 2 free shirts. Once we had finally secured our purchases, we went back to her place for a fashion show (fashion show! fashion show at lunch!). Basically, we're hot.


Then Kari came over and we hit up the beach. Sun, sand, sunscreen, shades, pringles, and trashy magazines... Oh! and we found out that Clay Aiken is going to be a father. We read this whole thing about how through artificial insemination, he and his friend Jaymes were going to have a baby (and we're thinking, how else would that happen with two men?) We were freaking out for like 5 whole minutes and then I continued to read the article, and don't worry, Jaymes is definitely a woman. Haha, because he enjoyed this good news so much, Rob decided to join us in the sun.

I lover the beach.
Aren't we precious?
Aw, I like them.
After baking for a few more hours than we should have, we went our separate ways to get cleaned up (in my case, to take a nap) and get ready for dinner. We went to Wood Ranch because Nugg had never been there and still thought GoodWood was yummy! Don't worry: BBQ ribs, tri-tip steak, rolls, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, and incredible mashed potatoes... she's converted. =]
Then, because we weren't fat enough, we went to Dairy Queen for some delicious treats and froze our butts off until we were smart enough to seek refuge in Nona. It was a delicious and cozy ending to my little visit.


That's life. This is Walgreens.
So first of all, what kind of gas station doesn't have a bathroom?! I mean, I've seen out of order, closed for cleaning, and other such non-usable restrooms, but none at all? really? Anywho, while waiting for Rob to feed Nona, Melanie, Kari, and I realized the filled-to-capacity nature of our bladders and went in search of a restroom. Being unsuccessful, we looked to the Walgreens across the street for the answers (because life isn't always perfect, that's why there's Walgreens). We hopped in Chief, pulled into the parking lot, and all but power-walked inside. Following Kari's advice we headed to the back and as we veered around a corner, there it was, with only a keypad lock between us and freedom. Dead end. Trying to lighten the mood, I waltzed right up to it and said jokingly, "Don't worry guys, I know the code," and pushed a few choice buttons. Viola! it swung wide open. I turned to Kari and Mel nonchalantly and ushered them inside, where I burst into a fit of laughter. I won't tell you what the code was (that's my secret), but basically, I'm awesome.
Oh, and we got to pee. =]

Happy Birthday, Nugglesaurus!
So for the 23rd birthday of L. Nugglesworth, she, Veronica, Alden, Seth, and I all ventured down to Golf n Stuff to further our golf careers with putting practice. Then we went back to Jenn's house for Guesstures and dino cake. Here are some highlights from the evening:
-Seth got his mission call to Melbourne, Australia-- Mandarin speaking!
-I had to go to "Compton" to return our clubs
-lying to Alden about my actual score
-somebody (Seth?) lost their ball near the end, and didn't bother to get a new one.
-the soda machine was broken = no Pepsi for Melanie =(
-when [brilliant] George tried to light the fake candle that the dino was holding...
-that lemonade =]
-artichoke?!
-the Joker toy that made me cry
-Veronica's accident
-spilling cake (chocolate frosting side down) on Jenn's carpet
-"Impatient!"
-Veronica: *slap, slap, hiss* Seth: "Hippo!" Veronica: *points* "Yes."


Ok, That pretty much sums it up. There was much, much more, but I feel that this has gone on long enough. Until next time, Adios!

Snails See the Benefits, the Beauty in Every Inch

So I finally found my favorite Cyanide and Happiness comic ever.
Enjoy.


Namesake

So, good old Newbury Park...
You know you're in N.P. because somebody used a "1001 Best Baby Names" book to name all of the streets around you. Our main roads include Wendy and Lynn, with some important shortcuts on Ruth, Walter, and West Kelly(but only if you know the code). Who could forget waiting on Lupe for your mom to pick you up from Sequoia? Or laughing when you passed Bob Court? *sigh* I just wouldn't feel at home without passing Gerald and Theresa. Here are a few of my favorites =]
