HAPPY NEW YEARS!! :)

I'm freaking tired, but I just wanna blog before I forget all thats been going on...

GO WEST:
Go West was awesome... A big huge YAY to Joe for doing such an kick ass wicked job. :) Well, it all kinda started on Thursday night when we all became this little chocolate kiss roses sweatshop over at Joe's. oooo.. and Kathy came down!! :) YAY! Spent the night at YMCA on Friday (were the girls went to watch KATE AND LEOPOLD... cute movie, some really really cute moments where you wish that all guys are like the character and the guys played basketball....) Saturday over at the Rosefloat decorating (ran off and showered at Beths, lunch and ice cream over at Paseo, and playtime at MAC), service project (yay cute puppets!), and broomball. :) Sunday mainly was just camping out on Orange Grove, screaming children and honking cars, and hiking up and down Colorado for fun. :) Attempted to watch BEAUTIFUL MIND but kinda sorta fell asleep during it... but made it back to the campsite on time for the COUNTDOWN!

YAY 2002!!! :)
Monday... Jan 1, 2002
1am.. decide to go home, but actually made it around 2:30am since I got lost in Pasadena. EH.

8am... was awaken by typical Carlene dogpile.. cept she "na na na'ed" Auld Lang Syne for 10 minutes... and gave up.

11am... wake up, take a shower, and lunch.

12pm... Leave for Universal Studios! :)
I haven't been there for the longest time so it was very different. :) Poor Carlene was bitching and whining about having to buy $1 poncho for Jurassic Park the ride.... cept for when the time came, her hoodie fell off and she was soaked. Hmmmmm... anything else... rode ET (where the computer couldn't pronounce Carlene's name and instead said "FRIEND."), Terminator was dope, and an hour wait for Back to the Future really wasn't worth it. Sucky thing is that the park closed at 6... and so we couldn't go on the tram ride... ooh well.

7pm: Dinner at Buca Di Beppo..
:) it was soo nice cause we got to eat in the kitchen and all the chefs and waitors were really sweet and friendly. :) Mom was going all flirty and dorky with them...

10pm.. get home and attempt to go to sleep.

10:30pm.. get call from Manny... "wanna go to vegas?"
