Top Ten of the Week

Top Ten Favorites of the Week:

1. Standing in line waiting for the cheeseburgers to be done, Abigail and I stood in line behind a guy whom we have named bumble bee (reason being he had black hair where he shaved some lines on the side---did that look really come back? and a bright yellow shirt on...creative I know). Anyways we were chillin there having our normal conversations of randomness when out of no where Abigail says to me, with a complete straight face, "My spine kind of grosses me out", (insert my shocked don't know what to say blank stare back at her here) "I mean its so boney like that dinosaur..." the traumatized look on bumble bees face was priceless.
2. Finding out that in every song on Taylor Swift's album covers, she has letters capitalized that have secret messages to who they were written about. My two specific favorites are "Should have said No"which the code said "Sam Sam Sam Sam Sam" (I wouldn't like to be Sam) and the one for "innocent" which is about Kanye that says "Life is full of little interruptions"
   
3. Coming up with code names for certain people that way everyone at Biola doesn't know who we are talking about then using their real name on accident then quickly changing to their code name, someone is clearly going to catch onto our secretive names.
   
4. Telling Cory while Skyping that I was reading for my health class and his response "don't have sex or you will get gonorrhea and die--there you go you are done with homework" and then crystal's burst of laughter
5. Going to Disneyland with Matt Boling was technically last week but I decided to make it in this blog instead. Spread out my stories a tad. We rode space mountain with ponchos, see the lovely picture. We also watched the snake video that is at the end of this blog (stupid yes, but hilarious at the same time), we were saying "I'm a snnnnakke"all day. Riding Indiana Jones and attempting to tell him something in the middle of the ride--doesn't end well with all the noise and movement haha. Going into the Tiki Room was borderline traumatizing. I am 90% sure there was a sacrifice at the end. So many great stories from one trip.
   
6. Pilates with Abigail and Daniella- quote of the night- "Don't disrupt my powerhouse" we figured thats like Pilates "chi" who knows.
   
7. Peanut Butter filled chocolate covered pretzels from Harry and David. its not really an event, but i am thinking about making a day dedicated to them.
8. My dad sending me a dancing singing bunny. Playing it in the middle of the mail box courtyard area and watching everyone walk by laughing was pretty sweet.
   
9. Thursday Morning Talon hangouts with Annalisa, Abigail and Jessica are 2 hours full of laughter.
   
10. During Spanish class while my Spanish teacher was telling us something, she decided to open the door because the heater was on and cooking us all. When she opened it she slammed a student on the other side with the door, then spoke in Spanish laughing and saying sorry.
    

Oh hey stranger

Bethany has convicted me that I have not posted a blog in over 2 months. Holy smokes. I am failing at this blog thing for sure. So I must change these nonsense actions with a post for her viewing pleasure.

A brief catch up in the past two months here are the one liner main events:

• I drove to Arizona all by myself, killer time.
• Got lost attempting to not use the GPS with my friend Abigail trying to get back from the mall.
  
• Attempted to learn all the lyrics to "Can't Touch This" with Michelle, and we only came out with our new favorite line "Super dope homeboy from the Oaktown" say it fast--its golden flo.
• Finally found a classic woody doll that says "There's a snake in my boot" however it doesnt say "somebody poisoned the waterhole" so my search is still on.
  
• Michelle and I discovered the difficulties that must occur when selling icecream on the streets around L.A
• Discovered the brilliance of the movie The Italian Job,
• Turned 21, nbd.
• Discovered that there are more Justin Bieber fans at Biola than I am comfortable with.

Venice, the beach not Italy

For my birthday celebration with my Aunt and Grandparents, we went to Venice beach. Don't let the name fool you. It's pretty much stoner central with a ton of crazy people. So entertaining! We got there and were instantly offered medical marijuana. One man's life motto was "Get rid of the pain and smoke the Jane". I had never been offered so much weed in my life, even at Mountain Ridge high school haha. just kidding there aren't that many weed loving children at that fine location of education. Despite all of the drugs available, the rest of the beach was also very entertaining. There was a local Venice freak show. We didn't go in, thank goodness, but there were some weirdos hanging out there . There was a guy with hair all over his face claiming to be wolf boy, another dude with puzzle tattoos all over his face claiming to be the enigma, and there were also supposedly a lot of animals inside that had either too many heads, too many legs or other things. I was too terrified to go into closed doors with them since they were advertising so much outside and were beyond creepy. We also were delighted to see a cave man dude, Kendra (my cousin) made me take a picture with him, he growled at me at the end. Creepy. Venice was for sure a unique place, I would recommend it for some top notch people watching.

Turning 21

We went to knotts, yes for my 21 birthday, i will always be a little kid its time everyone just realizes that =) -side note i say that while writing this and watching The Princess and The Frog. =). Back to Knotts, I had never been there and had no idea that it was all roller coasters, however i found my new favorite roller coaster it launches you at 80mph as you fly up this straight up and down terrifying metal mountain. My brother and I usually scream obnoxiously for fun whenever on roller coasters but this ride brought out legitimate terror screams as my necklace flew up hitting me in the face then I got air off of my seat on the way back down. I HIGHLY recommend going on this ride before you die. Add it to your bucket list, you wont regret it =). The rest of my birthday was a lot of fun. We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory in Newport, where my mom went for her 21 birthday too, crazy I know. Typically turning 21 involves heavy drinking because you can, but I still have yet to have any fancy adult beverage. I did get to buy my dad a beer at the hotel though. That was hilarious. The bartender asked to see my I.D and I whipped it out like there was no tomorrow. Then he laughed because he realized it was the day of my birthday. I think that he thought that beer was my first drink so he was making a bigger glass that I asked for, I cannot really give his reaction to me justice over typing, it was priceless. I felt like such a dork. Story of my life =). Overall my birthday was fun. I am still waiting on when i can go home and take a new picture for my license so it can go from vertical to horizontal, I have to wait so I do not look 12 on my license that is going to last until 2087. Ha.
