Say Cheese... Now Smile!

Masquerade was fun!!

The night started when I went to Steph's to meet up with Joe, Son, Anthony, Kristen, Janelle, and Ryan... and I swear... EVERYONE was just looking soooo gorgeous and cute!! :) It seriously was adorable because it felt like high school again with the "couples" taking pictures... we were about to take some girl group shots... guy group shots... and then everyone on the stairs shots... :) Anyways, around 7:45, we were OFF to San Diego!

In my car, we were jamming to my oh so WICKED mix of old school booty "gold digging girls" and old school ghetto "endo smoke" cds, as well as talking to Mikie on the cellie and trying to figure out WHERE on the 5 he was in correlation to us... we finally arrived (as predicted) at 9pm in SD. The orginial plan was to go to Cheesecake Factory for dinner, but the wait was too long. So instead, we walked across the way to the Crocodile Cafe where there wasn't a wait time. I dunno if the food was exactly "great" (don't ask Joe what he thought of it) but hey, we all had fun.

I sorta got lost on my way to the boat... but luckily we all finally got to the dock and the *porn name sounded boat* THE LORD HORNBLOWER. (Kristen and Anthony thought that the Boat was the giant ASS Carnival cruise ship right next to it... but nooope.) :) It was so great! I know I see a lot of my friends on an common basis... but I was SERIOUSLY really happy to see everyone that night. I don't know why... maybe it was just the thrill of being with them in a place aside from here. I was suprised to see Carrie there since I was convinced that she wasn't gonna come... but YAAAY! And Robert was there complete with his "ICE!" (next time you need to spell out SCANDALOUS) ;) After a wait out on the dock and several confusions as to where the line to board the boat was, we finally got on the boat (where I immediently took off my cute but "oh so painful" shoes and we were off!!

The boat circled the harbor while everyone was dancing the night away for a good cause. On the top floor, there was Karaoke... Some peak performances I got to witness were: Petey and Robert rapped "baby got back" while Kristen and I chanted "L.A. face with an Oakland Booty" (which I learned was the backround for that song last time we did go to Elvis!?), Ryan and Petey did "Gin and Juice", Carrie and Alice did Britney Spears "Crazy", Mondo sang "Born to be Wild" and saved himself by having screaming "come on everyone!" and having the floor sing along with him... Mikie entertained with his rendition of Frank Sinatra's "I Got You Under My Skin"... and as an "prep"... Kristen kicked ass singing "Last Dance" and I got to play with the "Shoop Shoop Song." ;)

Downstairs, after all the karaoke madness, we all stuck on the dancefloor (given that that the DJ played a good song). OK... number one thing I've noticed lately is that the moment Britney Spear's "I'm A Slave For You" comes on... girls will GO BUCK WILD. I think its the beat... but put on a normal song on and girls will dance normally... but once you hear that beat... its OVER and this "inner stripping sexpot" is released. And I think guys know this because they pretty much stay on the dance floor and watch us go insane. :) Oh wells.. its a GOOD song. ;)

At 3am, the boat docked and the dance was over.. or so we thought. :) We got off the boat and crossed the street for a mini after-party over at Mikie's car. *gheeetttoooo* But the cops came and people started to disburst. It was time to go home... so I followed Carrie, Steph follwed me and we went to a nearby Jack In the Box to get some "energy" food... got on the road... and an hour later... we were home. (cause I'm good like that. ;)) My passengers in my car were sleeping 20 minutes into the ride, so I kept myself awake by SINGING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS to oldies. ;) Dropped off the kids at Stephs and drove home... were I pretty much contemplated if I should just sleep in my car on the driveway.. but I mustered up the energy to get inside the house and into my bed.

~*~ and thus completes my Masquerade ball experience~*~ GREAT JOB JEAN and UCSD CKI!!

This afternoon, was awaken by Carlene... washed cars... and went to Frys where my mom was extremely embarassed for buying a "smutt* DVD (aka the Puppetry of Penis) but still got it anyhow for her upcoming Christmas party with her gal-pals. Oh my.... Melissa came over and we watched Amelie and munched on leftover Halloween candy. :) *good "chill* times...
