I Felt the Flaming Arrow of the Hunter's Kiss

Picture time (and there are a lot of them)! I'll put captions on some, but I don't feel like telling the long stories of the trip. The wedding in Long Beach was great, the San Diego Zoo was great, the sandcastle making outside our beach house was great, and the rest was just...the rest. I wouldn't recommend cramming 8 people (4 couples) on one floor of a house. I still love California though!

The view the first night we were in Long Beach

Mmmm Jamba Juice

Mmmmm shots of wheat grass

Mmmm organ juices...?

Mike's head looking suspiciously photo-shop like in front of the Queen Mary

Ah, corny couple pictures...more corny pictures to follow:

So the tire spikes had pierced their feet, see? And they're suitably upset? Well...

I was trying to be a good actress, but I had no help from my partners. So we tried again:

And apparently I'm still in horrendous pain while they're...being tickled?

After our feet shenanigans we went to dinner at a cute greek place

Wine tasting in Santa Barbara

Anyone obsessed with Sideways? Not Mike and I, but we were at the famous "Hitching Post"

A mama panda at the San Diego Zoo

And her baby!

Baby and mama together

They look like they like each other

Golden Compass?

Zebra horse things?

This little guy was actually clapping right before we took this

With his...mother?

Chillin, eatin leaves

These guys were crazy

Cool snake!

Meerkats!

Meerkats with people!

A bear eating some giant bone

Our version of "The Real World"

The bride and groom dancing at the wedding

Me and Olivia after dancing...a LOT.

The bride kissing the groom's foot (she lost a bet)

Our awesome sand castle, complete with drawbridge, side stairs, back entrance, serf housing, and crops

Mike showing off

We are dancing fools, maybe because it's January and we're on a beach

Aaaand the Arrested Development chicken dance. That's a whole other story....

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
