BOO!

Yay Halloween was today. Turned in early for whatever reason. I'm kinda not feeling like explaining the whole day. Just trust me when I say that it was tiring and awesome :D

So yeah, went as the March Hare along with the Mad Hatter and, of course, Alice!
Mmhmm. We're awesome.

So yeah, here are some pictures of the particularly interesting costumes.

The best group in my opinion, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves!

Anyways...then school ended.
Every time we drove by these, Sabrina made us stop and admire them. That, we did.

and then Sarah gave me this nifty little balloon at Marukai...

And we munched on lovely little milk tea popsicles

It's Halloween, and Tree's reading Kite Runner. What a good kid XP

I got all excited whenever I saw a pumpkin carved like Jack Skellington. What a geek.

Kissy kissy face!

We're photophobic. That word has "pho" in it twice, therefore it must be an amazing word.

So yeah, that's Halloween. I'm surprised that I'm already home. How strange...

a very merry unbirthday to you

and a very happy birfday to me. Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so amazingly kickass. I felt so warm and fuzzy and loved that it was getting kinda disgusting. But totally in a good way. I must say, my friends are like...the awesomest people. Ever. What a great way to celebrate my Senior Year birthday :D

Sooo my bday started off like any good Korean kid's birthday should. With miyuk gook.
IMG_0184

and I'm sitting in zero period Calc, and what do I see? Austin walking in holding some balloons, rapping for me at 7 in the morning and ending it with a class-wide "happy birthday" song. Nice.
IMG_0246

Get through a timed writing and gov test, open my locker to grab my bio stuff, and look! Another surprise!
IMG_0244

So what do I do? What any other self-respecting camera kid would do. Take pictures with it.
IMG_0194

and who gave me this nice surprise, might you ask? Now, who else knows that I'm obsessed with chocolate and honey? None other than the loveliest girl in the whole world.
IMG_0207

Pulled through a shitty Bio quiz, and Tree busts out four hard boiled eggs. Fun ensues. Yeaahh! Team Nose Goes!

Our alter eg(g)os...Audrey's joke. I swear.

Then my favorite time of the day...ASB!!!
I walk in to this:

Then Kelly busts out some of her amazing cupcakes with some orgasmic frosting...
IMG_0228

and Saaya pops in with a delectable treat :]

Mrs. Hildreth brings in some awesome chili (totally unrelated to my bday, but still great)
IMG_0226
Jerek makes for a lovely hand model.

and mi madre delivers a MASSIVE chocolate cake. Here's the birthday platter all laid out...
IMG_0224
it takes all of ASB, Dance, and some random people to finish the cakes, but we pull it off somehow. amazing, eh?

fifth period rolls around, and Mikie suprises me with even more goodness. She already sent Austin in to serenade me, and left funny little notes and stuff in EVERY ONE OF MY CLASSES,and she tops it off with a GIANT COOKIE. I could be having the worst birthday in the world, and I'd still know that I have Mikie's giant cookie to look forward to. Much love.
IMG_0248
I like ruining pictures with oh-so-attractive faces XP

The eating just never stops. After school, this one awesome kid takes me out for a nice treat:
IMG_0252
pho!

I'll throw in a picture of him just for good measure.

For dinner, the madre took me out to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen for some lovely southern comfort.

Ignore the awkward shadow. I left my lens hood on.
Sweet potato bisque...tasted like fall. By fall, I mean pumpkin pie, cinnamon, etc.

A sampler of Catfish sliders, coconut shrimp, spring roll, and calamari. yum

My mini birthday treat...

and some fresh beignets.
IMG_0269

all the while, I listened to some dude on a very interesting piano...
IMG_0256


My my...a day filled with awesome friends, bomb food, and great music. An ideal birthday in every way. The only way it could've been better would be to have a hippo crawl into my room, or something of that interest level.

Thanks loves, I had a funderful day.

A day in retrospect.

I was lucky enough to have one of those really really awesome days this past Saturday, but freaking Early Apps have prevented me from posting anything about it. Well, I still should be working on the App but a break is definitely nice.

So the day started off at Sayo's house when we decided to watch Ashley's performance. Sadly, we didn't quite make it in time and ended up going to TAM to check out The Maize Project. Again for me.

Hehe...slug on wall.
IMG_8697

We finished up there and were driving along...and somehow ended up at Farmer's Market for lunch :D
IMG_8714
Oh...and a freaking cajun sausage dog with brisket and bbq sauce? glorious.
IMG_8708

Enjoyed our lunches of beef, sausage, and Thai food over at Walteria Elementary.
IMG_8715
Teeheehee...we found some bubble stuff. Fun ensued.
IMG_8728
IMG_8763
Sabrina decided to be a creeper for the day.
IMG_8794

We then headed over to Marcy's for some good ol' fashioned sweets. Yummmm.
IMG_8814
Hehe Ashley tried to scare me when I was taking this. Better luck next time...
IMG_8841
Picked up a nice, massive strawberry marshmallow covered in chocolate. Sugar overload.
IMG_8842

Yay! Crossed the street and what did we see? A pumpkin patch!

So I guess Sabrina and Sayo or on the same brain frequency or something...they both picked out the same pumpkin at the same time...
IMG_8871
Ah! Pumpkinheads!
IMG_8872
Dunno why I took this one...
IMG_8873
Ashley's terrified of the leatherface. Yet Sayo and Sabrina look perfectly fine...
IMG_8875

Headed back to Sayo's to work on Halloween costumes and eat some more. And yes, I do enjoy drinking honey out of a bottle.
IMG_8890

We went to Aardvarks, ate at T&T's for dinner, and some other random things happened. Sadly, I have no pictures. My desire to photograph died off sometime during the day.

But yeah, great times were had by all.
