In Town

So I was lucky enough to have my good friend Jon Bregal come to LA for the night so I got to see him! He is on tour with a band so he showed his where he sleeps every night, on a tour bus.

Come back soon Jon!!!!!

She Don't Use Jelly

Toni made that awesome birthday cake for Devon. And we sang karaoke, which I never do but somehow did it 3 times in one week. Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

snailfest

no snails were hurt during this photo shoot

That night I saw more snails than I have ever seen in my life.

So I could fly far. Far far away

 

I was bored last week so I hopped on the blue line bus and went to Santa Monica Pier. It was a beautiful day so I found a nice little spot on the beach and read my book- joan didion slouching towards bethlehem which is a fantastic book that my friend Ian recommended to me! I am really enjoying it so far. I also got hit on by a very old man- with a walker old- and he blew me kisses and told me I took his breath away :) I thought he was going to croak right there. (he didn't).

 

LAX Charter Planes- We didn't get to fly to Santa Barbara- but I would have loved to! Toni's friend Mike is a pilot so we met up with him and he gave us a tour

vday

Valentines day in a new place, with not too many friends and no boyfriend. How to spend the beautiful sunny day.....

 

 I woke up to my phone ringing and some guy yelling- 'I am at your door!' I was so confused- then I realized I had to go open the door- and what a lovely surprise :) My Monique sent me flowers, chocolates, and a balloon! I love surprises so I started my day off just right! Thanks lovebug :) my favorite Valentine!

 I literally just woke up in that picture if you can't tell.

Toni and I headed out to enjoy the beautiful and fun day we had ahead of us!

 

 

  

it took too long for us to rent bikes so we just ended up borrowing some from Brians friend!

 

That is Brian. 

 

We went out with fun friends and went to Venice Beach, rode bikes, grabbed lunch at a Chinese Restaurant (to celebrate Chinese New Years of course), went to a house/dinner party, and then rode bikes some more. 

This is my favorite doggy- Matilda.

 

We did ride bikes- I just took did not take photos because I was being extra cautious. I didn't want to get hit by a car or fall off my bike!

农历新年!!!!!!!!

Happy Chinese New Year (belated)!!! I Google'd how to write it in Chinese and that is how I got my title! It is the year of the Tiger- I was born year of the Ox, Amy informed me- I am stubborn, alert, demanding, yet easy going and eloquent! Amy was our wonderful roommate, who just moved back to Beijing last week. She was studying at UCLA but she just finished so she went back. Her family came for a visit and brought Toni and I these delicous Chinese Peanuts. They look like normal peanuts on the outside but on the inside they are black!!! I think they are actually called Black Peanuts- They have a very unique taste and we are addicted to them! So yummy and strange. She is an awesome girl and we will miss her so much :( One day I will go to Beijing to visit her!
