I just lost my drain of thought

It’s Veterans’ Day weekend and I’m going to relaxi-taxi and it’s going to be great! Tomorrow night I’m going to see Cirque du Soleil and I’m pretty excited about it. I don’t really know what it is, but from what I saw in Knocked Up, it’s pretty trippy. I also hope to get some homework in because it never ends!

So I looked at all the most recent entries I’ve written and I realized that I’m missing big chunks of exciting junk that’s happened! For Helen’s birthday, we surprised her at midnight with some leftover cake I had brought back to the apartment. We love crap parties! The real surprise party was a tea party, because she likes tea and parties so we put together the best of both worlds. We had cookies, crackers, cheese, hummus, peanut butter, and all that good stuff.

Afterwards, we had a little photoshoot, because that’s how we do. If anyone wants to see pictures, Helen’s posted them up. But if we don’t know you, then.. there are no pictures and Helen posted nothing up.

That weekend we went to the Cal game (My first college football game! Actually, my first college game, period!) and it was freaking awesome, especially after I bought my frozen lemonade. We were all so tired, because Helen, Michelle and I stayed up late preparing for Saturday. We decorated t-shirts for the guys to wear but only Jireh wore his, which was very much appreciated. Before the game we had a little tailgate party. We were so ashamed of our so-called barbeque (some people go nuts and go all out) that we hid it behind the car, which is what all the Cal people do, I guess, so people don’t come and kick over their grills. We had some trouble with the grill but after a while it started working, because apparently, nothing gets a fire going better than soiled hotdogs in the pit.

The game was pretty excited during fourth quarter, but earlier on, I was kind of bored. I mean, there is only so many times you want to do the 8 Clap. I don’t know why we don’t have other cheers. I fell asleep periodically, because I was so sleep deprived and it was ultra hot and I totally got sunburnt, all the elements needed to make me lethargic. I got really thirsty after a while and our drinks were turned away at the door, so I spent all the money I had on me (five bucks) on a frozen lemonade and life was good again. I felt so happy after that that it didn’t matter how the game was going. haha. We were behind most of the game and then it got all crazy towards the end. So crazy, in fact, that when UCLA intercepted the ball, which eventually led to a touchdown, the man in front of me got a little too excited and toppled over backwards as he turned around. To this day, the image plays in my head and I have bouts of uncontrollable laughter. I wish we caught it on camera.

I also never mentioned our weekend in Civerside! Michelle and I traveled to the far depths of Riverside for a weekend and it turned out to be much funner than anticipated. That is where Michelle and I got our famous Soul Train move, which is always a hit at parties.. all one of them. haha. It was her friend’s birthday and we barbequed hotdogs and junks and smothered them in barbeque sauce. The drunks that aren’t belligerent are quite fun to be around. I also got to visit Tony that weekend and I played Mariokart with him and his roomies. I love Mariokart!
