Well's it has been a while since I fell down the "rabit hole" and updated the many of millions of people who read this (yeah right) as to what I have been up to.
So since I'm busy with school right now I will update later. But for thos of you who just wanted to know, I'M STILL ALIVE. But I will update my playlist at the bottom a little bit.
Off to go find something to blog about.

San Francisco with Dani and Emily...
So... Emily's birthday is on Tuesday. So we decided to celebrate over the weekend with going to San Francisco for the day. We drove up to Pleasant Hill and took the Bart into the city. It was my first time taking Bart so I was very excited.
Me infront of the Bart Map. You can see the point we started at to the right of my head.
The train pulling up.
Chugga Chugga Shoe Shoeeeee!!!!
Overall we made a giant circle. First we got off at Montgomery St. though since they (the map people) don't tell you there are multiple streets with the same name, we got off at the wrong Montgomery St. We headed into the hotel and they let us know we were lost and gave us a map! Which we used for the rest of the day!!!! We were on the clear wrong side of town.
From there Dani, Emily, and myself attempted to flag a taxi to get across town. It took us a good five minutes of looking like idiots and waving at taxis to get one. Until finally I got tired and remembered a clip from White Collar and pulled a dollar bill and held it up and yelled and one came right up! (Apparently they respond well to cash props.)
Hehe Mickey ridding a turtle! The museum was alright. But it wasn't as good as people hyped it up to be....
We walked around outside the museum, and took some pictures. The Golden Gate bridge was right outside. So pretty!!!
So we next hopped another taxi to Pier 39 where we went and saw the Sea Dogs. There weren't that many due to relocation to Portland. So we walked around and took pictures.
From the Pier we walked over 22 blocks to Chinatown in search of the wild Pork Bun. My dad "pre-ordered" some and gave me money to get him some. By the time we got there only one shop was open and I had to wait forever for a slow deciding old man to order.
Then from China town followed the map back to the original Montgomery of our story. Then took the Bart back to Pleasant Hill but due to construction had to get off at Lafayette, ate some pizza, and drove home.
So to sum things up we had fun and plan to go maybe again, since we have money left on our Bart tickets lol.

20th Birthday Bonanza!!!
On Tuesday March 2 a group of us from the fraternity went to see the hit musical Avenue Q (though not for my bday, it just happened to be coincidence.) Though some complications arose Dani (below) and my brother and Roxana were my cheerleaders for the day, and made everything better. Afterwords we went to Denny's for dinner. (Though only a few people in the group helped me celebrate: Joey, Roxana, Luis, and Dani. Others just went because we planned before they new it was my bday.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 2
On wednesday Dani brought a cake to class and I got a giant evil looking stuffed Duck who I have named Marty. We cut up and served it at our movie night meeting. Then I was off to dad's house to meet Roxana!
Roxana (Joey's girlfriend) and Carmen (her little sister) took me to their mother to get my new hair cut and style. They picked me up from my dads house and drove me into Riverbank. They surprised me and also did my eyebrows. As a non girly girl I trusted them and put myself in their hands and let them decide.
BEFORE:
AFTER!!!!:
Personally I love the new hair cut. But I think I would save the curling for special occasions lol. I went back to school for yet another meeting. And lets just say my fraternity brothers didn't recognize me. They've never really seen me with my hair down. They asked if I dyed my hair black. I had to inform them my hair is black and that the ponytail it's usually up in turns it brown. I love my hair!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Day 3
The family gathered for dinner at Outback! I went early to Roxana's and she re-curled my hair. My mom and sister got me a Coldstone ice cream cake. Chocolate mint oreo! So yummy!!!!
It was a good few days. I enjoyed it very much. I can say that despite an issue or two this was my best birthday so far! Now to plan my 21st oooo laa laa!!!!

Mardi Gras 2010...
Once again I found myself following the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole and found myself at the annual Mardi Gras party! Every year as many of us already know, Jan holds a Fat Tuesday Party every year. Complete with a sports pitcher of Hurricanes, King Cake, Fried/Sausage Alligator, and my personal favorite Voodoo Eggs. This year has been the best on record for me. Usually I stay in the kitchen and cook rice or whatever. This year I did my little bit of cooking and got to hand out with friends! It was a great night overall!!!!
The start of the night. (I've noticed that a lot of my blogs have a pic of Dani and Me lol.) But unfortunately Dani left and didn't stay long, so we couldn't hang out as much as everyone else. :(
This year I finally had people to hang out with. (Karina, Mary Jane, Dani, and Me!) Just enough time to hang out with Dani before she left. I like this pic. I totally stole Dom's seat, we played musical chairs pretty much all night.
Me with Karina.
Dom and Nickies mom. She is one of my favorite Jazz vocalists in Modesto! We did our best to beg her to stay but she had to leave...
Some how we found our way outside and I found that my sister and brother were having their own form of fun.
K.C. begged me to hurry up and take the picture so it would get away from her... Perhaps the lady doth protest too much???
On my way back in I found Adria ( yet another Brother).
Dom danced with Casper
with Maribel...
and finally after a few hours of bugging, he even coaxed Bari out on the floor...
... and lastly even with Jan. (We also danced together but I didn't get any pictures just a video clip and that is not going on here lol... not very cordinated.)
By the end of the night everyone was "happy" in their own ways. We talked about everything from drinks to band history. The best part was winding down with roasting marshmellows on a fire pit Joey built earlier that night, and trying to find our way to play Sesame Streets Theme song on violin and guitar lol. Finally we all left late that morning around 2:30 am. It was a very good night! The next day I had to crawl out of the rabbit hole and stumble back into reality.

Joey was trying to play the defensive to throw off the opposing team.
On my way back in I found Adria ( yet another Brother).
As the night went on, we all noticed a repeat visitor to the hurricane pitcher and well... Let's just say Dom got a little friendly. (I kind of liked him that way, it was amusing.) He managed to dance with every girl he saw.
Dom danced with Casper

and finally after a few hours of bugging, he even coaxed Bari out on the floor...The band stayed till 2 in the morning playing anything and everything we requested. And we danced around like morons, but very fun. Everything from Hava Nagila to Mariachi music. It was a hoot!
... and lastly even with Jan. (We also danced together but I didn't get any pictures just a video clip and that is not going on here lol... not very cordinated.)
