I drank a beer in Berlin for you, Burd.. in celebration of your birthday!
It was SO nasty.

Let's just go clubbin' instead. :D

I can't wait! I miss you both :(

emo Bird-thday

Hahah. "Emo bird-thday." That's what it feels like right now. I'll be 21 tomorrow with no one with drink with. (JK...not that I'm even planning on drinking.) This is depressing.

Al, Ann...WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LEAVE? Of ALL the birthdays :(
Hmm...hopefully we can do something when you guys get back. I'm thinking of some get together that we could have where others could join us. Maybe go clubbin'? Haha, just a thought.

I hope you two are having a good time on your vacay! (I'm sure you are, though.)

I MISS YOU GALS!

Why is no one posting?!

Adriana: the last time you posted on your own blog was 2006, when you went on a vacation to Europe. It is now 2008, and I'm going to Europe. How strange...

Al: Sorry I missed all your calls! I was so depressed and down because of a error in grades and I totally didn't want to talk to anyone! I seriously spend like.. all day in bed under covers being emo. It was disgusting. :( I'll tell you all about it when I see you!


Blog girls! I want to know what's going on!

HEY! I got the unit! It's changed on the grades website! I'm sooooo relieved. Seriously, this debacle was a huge nightmare.

I can't WAIT to see you two tomorrow! <333333333

I've been working on Corporate ID for almost 7 hours straight now.

I've realized that I can't be the best at everything. That's what's ticking me off right now--the fact that no matter how hard I try, I still won't be as good as some other people. I hate that I compete with myself...I stress myself out.

Eh. Oh well.

Time to go to bed.

THEY ARE DUE TOMORROW AT 5PM!
Wish me luck! :D

Hope you both are doing well and surviving school. :)

I hate the thought of working into the wee hours of night...but for some strange reason, I love looking out the window and seeing that it's dawn, and knowing that I've worked through the whole night. That doesn't really make sense, but I just love the feeling that I get when I see a pale blue sky outside and the birds starting to call. I'm not even tired right now, which is weird.

I started writing my research paper at 7pm, finished at around 5am, then worked on the timeline. I'm pretty much done, but I'll go back in a few hours and re-read my essay, edit, and make little adjustments on the timeline.

Research paper. [CHECK]
Study for American Art History next.
Reading notes due Wednesday.

I guess it's time for sleep now.

Good morning!

What should I DO?

Hey gals. I have a conflict. A female friend of mine told me she is a staunch femanist, despises the male gender with a few exceptions, and strongly dislikes the idea of a guy liking her, much less even thinking about asking her out. Then there's my guy friend who likes her a lot and wants to go out with her (and I asked him how serious...like could marriage be in the future and he was like, yes? I don't know! It's up to what God wants). They both have told me things in secrecy (and I guess by telling you guys I've broken the secrecy...but you guys are neutral third parties!) and I really want them to know each other's feelings but I don't know how to go about doing that without devulging secrets. Also, both has a hint about the other's feelings, but they are not sure. I really hate being in the middle of this and would rather not deal with it, but they keep coming to me asking me about stuff. What do you guys think I should do? I want them to talk to each other without me and share their feelings, but that might ruin their friendship. Sigh. Oh yes, and thanks for posting the New Years stuff Ann! I like scrolling through it every so often just to remind myself of the fun we had.

Thanks gals,
Al

Thanks For The Summary!

Great job, Ann.

I love that you gave a quick overview of the whole night!! It's awesome because it's like our own little journal that'll be forever online! (Well, until Blogger decides to shutdown! :D)

Hope your second day of school went well. Did you get my voicemail?

HAPPY BE-LATED, PelicANN!

Hey there,
I think I am the obsessive blogger out of us 3, so I am going to post on our New Years adventure!

6:30-8:00 DENNYS
You know, Dennys was amazingly tasty. I'm not sure whether it was the fat and salt in all my food, or if I was just really hungry. We ordered drinks though! I think Al got the Rasdango?, Adriana got the Island Punch, and I got the Strawberry Mango Punch

Cheers to a new year!

Al with her Ranch Chicken Melt:



















Me with my Philly Cheese Melt:



















It was really strange because when we went to the cash register to pay, we paid $37 in dollars and around $1 in coins. The girl, Shannon, (not like I'm going to forget her name after talking to her for like 10 minutes) kept telling us that it wasn't right. We kept telling her to recount, but she was getting pretty impatient with us. She didn't want to count the change! I think she was being kinda anal about the tips too, but we gave enough. (After dealing with her, I kinda wanted to take some of it back, to be honest!) She got pretty anal over a missing penny too.

8:00-9:00
We raced to Milbrae to catch the BART so we could beat the traffic in getting out to SF. Al found these snazzy fast pass tickets so we could pay a flat rate and ride the BART however much we wanted to (well, from 6pm -3am).

We got off at the SF Shopping Center. The shops were closed, but you could still walk around in it.. so we did. We had about 3 1/2 hours to kill, I think.

AAA in front of Westfield BART entrance:


Here are some pictures of us when we were exploring the SF Shopping Center:


They had these pretty lights going on!


And then, I decided to start spinning in circles (I think that's my hair flying :S):


We saw that there was an abandoned Santa center, so we decided to take pictures!
Well, we used the stand as a picture frame!


It was funny that we were dressed nicely on the top half..but we're smart girls, so we wore COMFY shoes! Look!


Then we beat down on Adriana. Notice how Al's got 'Knee to the Groin' down.. and I got that straight punch going on:


Al and I stopped for Dinner #2. We finished our leftover sandwiches:
Sandwich cheers!


Asian fob pose:


Adriana wanted New Years hats, so we went around to the local Walgreens and RiteAids in search for them. Third store was the charm! Al really wanted this ginormous mp3 player.. and I just wanted the calculator!


And here are our hats!


We found this mini-Muni bus too!


We basically just milled around, trying to find bathrooms and such.. until 11:55pm, when we made a run for the piers again. We didn't want to miss the countdown, but we did anyways! No one knew when the 3-2-1 was!

At least we caught the fireworks!





Happy New Year, 2008!


After the fireworks, we met back up with Al's family. We walked quite a ways and ended up having a little mid-night snack at Mel's Diner. We shared a banana split!


After, we headed back to Al's house for a night of hang out and catching up!





And to wrap up the night with quotes stolen off of Al's facebook:

"Yeah, that's really embarrassing. Man, I wish that...I didn't look like that"
-- Ann, on looking back at our hideous highschool pictures in the yb

"Adriana, eat some of the banana split"
"No, I'm gonna be sick."
"Come on, eat some!"
"Oh man. No, I can't eat that. If I do, I'm gonna need an insulin shot."
-- Adriana, on not eating the banana split and drinking a Coke and diabetes...which will inevitably be part of our future, considering our current diets
