It's that time of year again!


allsaints boeing necklace that was totally not on sale in-store (gah)

And now it's time for my YEAR END ROUNDUP!!! exclamation point!

Round-trip flights: 1 (to San Jose...just one...wtf)
Road trips: 1 (Vegas a few days ago...haven't finished posting photos yet!)
Visits to Roy's: 0 (WTF?!?!)
Food Festivals: 2 (Taste of HB + OC Foodie Fest)
Food trucks tried: 1 billion
Food trucks that I tried that are actually worth following: 1 (Lime Truck rocks socks)
Employers: 1
Relationships: 1 (still going strong!)
Breakups: 0 (I like this number!)
Alcohol-induced vomiting: 0 (back on track!)
Any other type of vomiting: 0
Number of cars: 2 (MY POOR CIVIC :( :( :()
Number of car accidents involving people from our office: 2 (me + the Counselor)
Number of car accidents involving people from our office getting hit by 30-something Korean men driving large cars from the Toyota family: 2 (I got hit by a Toyota minivan and the Counselor got hit by a Lexus SUV)
Net pounds gained: Somewhere between 0 and -2 (yay I guess?)
Number of figurative candles on my figurative birthday cake: 27
Number of actual candles on my actual birthday cake: 1 (well it was sort of a cake, and one of them was sort of mine)
Cell phones: 2 (from curve to bold)
Number of blog updates: 100ish (it was a slow year)

As you can see, 2010 was pretty unglamorous. I went out relatively little and barely traveled at all. Actually, 2010 was pretty fucking hard. I'm going to be annoying and not discuss why quite yet because I really don't feel like talking about it here or anywhere with anyone. Sorry.

But...we move forward, yes? Time passes quickly now anyway. Next year I'm going to turn 28 (aka "fucking old") and things are looking up maybe.

28. Holy crap. TWENTY EIGHT. It's a good thing the world is ending in 2012. That means I never have to turn 30 (woohoo!).

Anyway, moving on, it's late and I need to get to sleep. I have to wake up early to cook tomorrow and I have garlic breath right now. Random random.

I'm going to finish this rambly post off with a photo of me and VV taken on my birthday last October. I was pretty hammered but I look okay. Probably because it was dark.

Happy NYE y'aaallllsss and don't get too drunk. The toilet bowl is not a great place to start off the new year.

Vegas 2010: Part I

VV and I left for Vegas at around 8am on the 26th. His parents and brother came a little bit later. Thankfully there was no rain on the way over or while we were there.

It was fun...there was a lot of new stuff that opened between now and the last time I went to Vegas including the hotel we were staying at (Vdara), the Cosmopolitan and the Crystals shopping center.


allsaints at the cosmopolitan! my heart pretty much stopped when i saw the store sign from the escalator


the vdara death ray


vv's brother took this one


we had an okay view of the bellagio fountains

Forgot to resize a couple of the photos to my shiny new LARGER size of 800x532 so a couple of the photos will open a bit smaller than that...oops!

Have a merry today!

And my present to you is this somewhat overlong post. Have a happy xmas and be sure to stuff your faces because holiday calories don't count!


stretching out my over-the-knee stockings because my legs are too fat


these arrived on my doorstep exactly two days before mother nature gave california a bitch slap in the form of unrelenting rain we're not exactly used to. fortuitous.


i mistimed the self timer. this came out better than the ones in which i didn't mistime the self timer


this is just as pretty sooc. will prob post to my flickr at some point.


remember how i said i had a lot of beer?


even k-town is all did up for the holidays


black boots are a must


and the rain keeps coming down

Merry Christmas Eve bitches

The whole process of gift buying has been particularly stressful this year...so again. Sorry if gifts this year kind of suck! My heart wasn't really in it this year. I've more or less finished my shopping but have managed to distribute a total of three gifts as of today. WHAT. Shit.

Anyway, it's late/early/whatever. It's past 1:30am and I'm ready for bed and I think my typing is waking up VV. Here are some random photos to keep your eyes busy.

And one more thing? HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOHOLICIOUS!. Congratulations on officially being "fucking old"! I need to see you soon so we can catch up and I can give you your present/28 birthday spankings.
