happy new year!! yea yea late as always, i know ;p

but i had a great new year, and christmas... and december in general ^_^

the first weekend in dec carrie and i went to vegas and saw THREE cirque du solei shows!! we saw "O", zumanity, and mystere. they were all AMAZING ^_^ the weekend was awesome and chill and super fun. carrie had never been to vegas and i haven't been in like 10 years. we did window shopping and noms ^_^

the next two weekends encompassed dickens fair (of FUN), the renegade craft fair, and a fun dinner at flower + water for carrie's bday ^_^ (table full of crazy ladies FTW!)

xmas was great! i saw the muppet movie on saturday and on sunday drove up to thorns to join liz and a few peeps for fun and food and presents ^_^ stayed overnight and then there was drunken shenanigans at target the next day ;p

new years was a house party with the alexes ^_^ lots of fun was had and slightly!drunken alexes are adorable ^_~ liz was out unil 8 am o.O she and thorn are CRAZY ;p monday was hanging out and dinner party at the alexes ^_^

and tomorrow is a day off work to NOT BE AT WORK! also hanging out with the alexes ^_^
(btw dreamwidth peoples, i have unsubscribed a few of you since i follow you on lj also... too much xposting ;p)

yesterday was a joint bday party for me and liz ^_^ we had it here in the apartment and it was awesome~ good time, awesome food, and awesome peoples. i wore my new black and silver corset which was all kinds of yay though i took it off around sometime between 11 and midnight. why keep wearing it in your own home? :p we did unfortunately have a few people overstay their welcome and not notice our semi-subtle go home now vibes -_-; but it all went well and we had one person crash here on the couch. he got up super early this morning and rinsed all of the dishes before he went home o.o can you say keeper? :p also i just have to say liz and i meet the bestest peeps up here and we super <3 our friends ^_^ such a fun, diverse crowd to hang out with

last weekend i saw cowboys and aliens with liz, carrie, pondy, and j~ they are still alive! ;p also it was a good movie. even more shocking i found urban decay's naked pallet available IN A STORE o.o;;;; so i bought it ^___^ yay makeup~

in work news all of our shared drives (read every important thing ever) went boom on tuesday o.o and we haven't gotten any of it back yet. we *might* get stuff back next week... i spent the entire week going wtf am i going to do? we lost everything for my department, the manual i hand wrote (all 300 pages of it >.<) all of our letter templates, daily procedures and saved files, etc. i can't even explain, EVERYTHING was on there >.o

and in even more fun news my parents are coming to visit on labor day weekend. well only on that monday thankfully. i'm not thrilled but then again they are bringing all my books (hopefully) that i left at home. that i'm really excited about, i miss my books ;_;

today has been an awesome day of not doing much at all and i approve <3 ^_^

we have been having the most lovely weather ^_^ finally warm warm warm <3

saturday i had lunch with carrie in the city and then we saw the movie beginners. not as funny as the trailers might lead you to believe but a very good movie. ewan mcgreggor <3! then we had tasty mexican noms for dinner :d

sunday carrie and i drove down to the county fair. it was 98 degrees and lovely and dry~ >3 i loved it ;p we met pondy and j there and hung out while eating things that were not good for us :d they left after a while and then we were joined by alex for a while. we saw cute animals and then sat down for mutton busters >3 putting small children on sheep and telling them to hang on. excellent sport imo ^_~ carrie and i had tasty italian for dinner and then walked all the way around the lake. a very lovely day indeed.

monday i actually had off this year! woot~ had a nice lazy morning, walked around the lake, and had a nice lazy afternoon. perfect day off ;p and now it's already friday and i only work 3 days next week. yay 4 day weekend ^____^

hey so i still exist! ;p i know y'all are sooooo happy ^_~ and for more fun here's another pic of me in my corset from fanime. yay someone actually had a pic of me in my whole outfit ^^ (liz is going to kill me for posting that but oh well~ >3) at some point i need to get around to finding the few other pics i have >.>;

so things wot i've been up to~ two saturdays ago carrie and i went to a glass blowing class ^_^ i suck at it! but it was fun and i'm glad we went. it's kinda hard cause you really have to use your arm and wrist a lot and i am a wuss with heat ^^;; also the guy teaching it was kinda a hippy and not the best teacher. but again, still fun and glad we went ^^

this last saturday a huge group of us went bar hopping in the castro for one of the trio's bday. i was the designated and hugely enjoyed watching drunken shenanigans >3 and several of them were, really drunk that is ^^; also i have decided if i have to go dancing i much prefer the super packed dance floors where all you can do is kind of wiggle. this way i can hide my TOTAL LACK OF RHYTHM ;p and when they are packed with gay men you don't have to worry about getting groped ^^;

also fun was herding drunken peeps back to the car and then getting lost on the way to the highway with only drunken peeps to give directions ^^;; but we made it home! and a few others came with as well. so then we had random nudity and eating of cold pizza and toast. the trio slept over at our place and we went to bed around 4:30 ish >.o tired neko was tired the next day. so we did nothing! it was awesome :)

this weekend is pride and noming at the park while watching one of the parades ^_^

fun weekend was fun ^_^ friday i went to see the movie hanna with carrie. was really interesting and i rather liked the music. saturday hung out with liz and devon and ran errands etc. we made him watch new trek cause he hadn't seen it. the poor boy was subject to all our random sayings and words and quirky weirdness ;p i swear liz and i have our own language ^^; saturday night liz and i went with charrise to see hugh jackman perform a one man show. it was AWESOME! we had so much fun and he was sooooo fabulous~ such a great singer, i really wish i could have seen him in oaklahoma

sunday was more bumming around the house and errands and a lovely walk around the lake in the late afternoon ^_^ and liz made her super yummy cuban black beans and rice for dinner. OM NOM NOM NOM!!! :d also we watched kiss kiss bang bang which i had never seen. so random, so horribly awesome. poor rdj always getting beat up ^^;

hmm i feel like i had other things to say but now i've forgotten (whats new~?) sleepy neko is sleepy and full of spicy tuna sushi :dddd

so the goth club was pretty cool ^^ liz and i learned a new thing, goths do NOT dance with each other. at.all. you stake out a spot and dance with yourself o.o it was kinda cool though, very fun to watch. and yes they did get me out there a few times- its easier to get me to participate when i don't have to worry about staying on beat! *SOOOO WHITE* i had a lot of fun watching too, there were some real characters there ;p and of course right when we left is when the guy with the interesting glowy things got on the dance floor. i get so enthralled watching things like that ;p we got home at 2 am... on a MONDAY night x.x this week has been tiring ^^;;

and tomorrow i will be out lateish again~ going to see the little mermaid ballet, super excited~ this is not your disney little mermaid >3

omg this weekend was so.full.of.noms! :d saturday evening we were supposed to go to one place but they had a long wait so we went down the street to a tapas bar and it was SO FUCKING GOOD *OMNOMNOM* it was carrie, stacy, liz, and i and every single thing we ate was AMAZING. and we had *a lot* lemme just tell you *_* i can't remember the last time i ate that much x.x

sunday we went into the city for brunch with naomi and carrie. again so much nomming :d i had coconut pancakes with home made ginger sauce *_* then we went to dolores park were there were awesome drag queens, gays, and not so awesome hipsters. they have a big production every easter which includes the hunky jesus contest >3 this years winner was "jesus fucking christ" and it was a guy dressed like jesus with a doll also dressed as jesus attached to his front... you can guess the rest on that one. it was HILARIOUS >3 it was also gloriously warm and sunny at the park even though it had rained in the morning. i got a bit burnt in a few places ^^;;

that night we ended up going to the place that had too long a wait from saturday, burma superstar :ddddd i love that place <3! and even though we were so very full we had gelato afterwards ;p which all made for a really long sunday and i am le tired~ this week, but oh so very worth it <3

this weekend we are having a party at our place.. so.much.cleaning.needs.to.happen >.>;

so i had a 3 day weekend this weekend, but i need a vacation from my vacations! :p friday i took the day off and picked up tree - we went to the sf flower and garden show ^_^ the gardens weren't as impressive this year but they were lovely and green~ we sat at a few seminars and saw some short films that are in progress as part of the symphony of soil documentary ^^ i was good and only bought one plant that i may not actually kill >.> (as opposed to the herbs i planted this week 2 of which are already dead >.>;;;)

saturday liz and i gathered aaaaaaall of our stuff and went to the steam punk convention. i was excited cause we put together two new outfits for me and i had wanted to go to this convention last year but missed it. it was a bit random since we didn't know anyone there. but we had tons of fun dressing up and walking around. eventually carrie joined us too and we wandered some more. we never did end up going to any panels. i don't really have any pics on my camera as it is made of SUCK but a few are posted already. my outfit from day one. i wore skinny jeans for the first time! \o/

sunday was more wandering (pre outfits even!) then ages of getting ready and packing up our stuff... we had an awful lot ;p and on this day i wore a skirt and heels! try not to faint from shock ;p pic of second day outfit. i'm quite proud of that ^_^ though sadly in the pic you cant see the black thing coming from behind my ear and over my shoulder is this awesome thing of feathers that i loooooove <3 carrie came down on sunday too and we all wandered around and around and then went for foooood *_* was sooo hungry! we made it home around 6 or so x.x so tired~ sleeping in hotels kinda sucks, stupid loud sheets! but we had fun and i got two pins ^_^

next weekend is wondercon which thankfully does not require travel other than going into town on bart ^_~

wow the days have been flying by and i can't believe it's march already! but i'm super excited it is as we are doing lots of fun things this month and next. my weekends are getting veeeery full! :)

this saturday carrie came over and we all had brunch and then went to the oakland museum white elephant sale. (kinda like a HUUUGE garage sale) they didn't like it because it was too crowded but i ended up scoring big time. in the book section i realized they were organized into sections and zoomed over to the gardening area. got a ton of books for $7.50!! >3 sooo awesome~ and that night we had sushi noms with stacy! <3


was supposed to go back to the white elephant today with kimi but we didn't end up going. a little sad because i wanted to look at the books more, but it is reaaaally hard carrying them around because they don't allow backpacks inside so oh well~ instead was supposed to have a nice relaxing day at home and liz was going to bake... and she did in fact bake, lemon bars and peanut butter carmel rice crispy treats :d but then she and carrie dragged me shopping *dramatic sigh* but that turned out to be a good thing because we found out just before coming home that the power had been out in our building for most of the time we were gone o.o it came on just before we got home.

this was also fortuitous for me as the landlord was board due to the power outage and he changed my windshield wipers, and then found a new headlight for me (was supposed to buy one today) and fixed that as well. and he changed the battery for my car alarm remote. i didn't have a screwdriver small enough. i love him so much <3 he's so nice to us and he looooves to fix cars. works well for me! ^_~ so all in all today was tiring but full of accomplishment! and of course, noms ^_~

i have new music! and i am caught up (mostly) with my pics!! OMG YO that's like accomplishment or some shit~! :p new pics are here they do not include ycon pics as that is the family friendly account ;p though speaking of ycon here's a pic someone else took of me :p the amount of happy experienced in that pic is not definable by words other than ajflkdsjfskldjfdskl TALL NOM NOM :d why yes those are the two tallest bishi at the whole con >3

so what have i been up to? *tries to remember* :p last friday after work i met up with carrie, liz, and several of her peeps for drinks at a bar. which started out with wandering as the bar opened later than they should on a friday. but then we got in and someone had an awesome coupon so we got lots of noms and drinks for hella cheap ^_^ and silliness was had by all. the next (groggy) day i went into sf to meet up with tree at a french soul food place of tasty noms. the wait is always at least an hour to get a table, that's how you know~ it's good. i had sweet potato pancakes with pecan syrup *_* omfg NOMS. then we went to the asian museum for the last day of the japanese screen exhibit. pretty awesome. then wandered down to the mission for shoppins at all the random fun places. and we found a liz who was taking around helena and bf (both in town visiting) we walked around and then had dinner and liz bought awesome stuff (girl is a shopaholic right now ;p)

and this week pondy and j came over for dinner on tuesday and we were supposed to watch white collar but it wouldn't dl fast enough. so the next night we went over to their place and they made us food and we watched it then ^_^ omg i'm soooo glad white collar is back! <3

friday tree and i went to a talk by joel salatin who owns polyface farms and is a famous sustainable farmer. it was pretty awesome and we got to see angie for a brief bit (she helped set up the whole talk) aaaand yesterday liz and i went into sf to meet up with carrie, liz's coworker jen and friend for brunch :d coconut pancakes with ginger syrup *_*_*_* then liz, carrie, and i went to shop at the vendors for the edwardian ball. mmm steampunk etc all around~ we all ended up getting hair pieces :) i looove mine but there was another one i REALLY wanted too. it was too expensive but soo pretty~ then they drug me all around town because they wanted bubble tea D: but then they fed me sushi :) today i haven't done much and that was nice ^_^
