What a fun filled weekend and I still can't sleep.

Friday - Tiger (renamed from "Oh Canada") and I decided to go get dinner + drinks and document our epic journey to seek trouble in one night.  The goal was to capture photos of us with people that we'd tap.  Hee hee.  We also made some sensual videos with our food while eating our Mexican food.  I think our fellow diners got a kick out of watching the free show.  Haha. Honey joined up with us after we were done having dinner and we went bar hopping.  On the way, we met these two very cute and taken guys in a band.  One of them looks a lot like Capt Sparrow and the other one is just pretty.  Then there were these crazy dudes at Brouwers that shoved a tongue down Tiger's throat while I was trying to take a photo.  We fibbed to him and his buddies that we were hairdressers.  The night ended with Honey dancing with some crazy old bicyclist in the parking lot and her tripping over the bike and falling on her head.  We ended up taking a cab back to my place where I made us scallion pancakes and tea and Honey passed out on my dog's comfy bed.  Haha.

Saturday - went walking around the water channel in Fremont with SurfBoy.  He made us sandwiches to eat before hand.  It was 80+ degrees and just absolutely a gorgeous day in Seattle.  Then I met up with Tiger and bunch of her friends at Gasworks Park to have a beer.  It was so nice to be by the water and enjoying the grass under our toes.  It was funny that people didn't know me until Tiger mentioned them my twitter handle.  Haha.  I am surrounded by geeks and I love the world I live in.  I had to leave at about 5:15 to go get myself dolled up for a jazz show downtown with work BF, his new BF, another one of work BF's friend, and Powerade.  I selected a sexy black little dress for the occasion since I've wanted to dress up for a while.  Jazz is awesome.  I forgot how much I enjoyed it.  Work BF's new BF is super cool and super nice.  Yaye!

Sunday - Helped my brother with his kids while they are at kiddie swim lessons.  Did not know that they make tiny swim caps for babies.  Did not know that babies under 11 months can hold their breath under water.  it was really fun to be a professional aunt.  His kids really like me :)  Then I went to get myself a pair of super cute pink sandals cuz it's so dang nice out again and my piggies wanted to come out.  I wore them to go kayaking at Green Lake with SurfBoy.  It was really fun being out on the lake and I felt like because I'm fit the experience of kayaking was even much more enjoyable.  We had a good time in the sun, chatted and laughed pretty much the whole time.  Since I was hungry, I suggested we go get food so we went to a Greek restaurant in the U-District and it also happen to have a street fair going on.  The Greek food was soooo good.  I forgot how much I like Avgo Lemono soup as I used to make it often at home.  We decided to walk around the street fair after we ate and stumbled upon this awesome artist.  We each bought 3 prints (will post photos later).  This guy's art is so brilliant and I love his style.  It was definitely a good find and will help inspire me to do more of my own art.  It was about closing time so we quickly walked the fair and went back to my place to watch a movie I borrowed from SuZ - Lady Vengence (AWESOME movie!). 

This has been one activity filled weekend.  I haven't had a full weekend like this in ever.  I love it.  I want more of it.

Even though I'm kinda tired, now I can't sleep... and my back muscles are a bit sore from the kayaking (worth it though).  Nite :)

The mixer thing this evening was moved to the front area of the Parlor.  The doorman wouldn't let anyone more in the place cuz they're at capacity.  My friends and I showed up late so even though we were guests of this party, we weren't allowed to attend.  Fucking ridiculous.  I hate the Parlor even more now (here's the back story of why I hate it in the first place if you're actually interested). 

Joined by GoDawgs, Oh Canada, Brazil, BassRock, Powerade and few others, we moved to Lucky Strike Lanes on the second floor, a new uppity bowling alley/restaurant/bar place.  It was actually kinda pretty dang cool and I gave it a 4 star review on Yelp cuz that's how I roll.

I alone had 3 delicious apple martinis and one pepperoni pizza minus one slice (it's like a 10" pizza).
I didn't exercise yesterday or today so I'm feeling like I ate too much crap food.
I'm suppose to work this evening to get something that's due @ 9am in the morning done but I'm soooooo effing tired.
Unmotivated and low energy.

Meh.

No partying tomorrow night.  I must workout cuz it actually makes the body aches go away and me eating crap foods without feeling like I'm destroying my health.

It is an inherent need that we all have.

Powerade and I were having our monthly Broken Hearts Club - Seattle Chapter meeting discussion via IM earlier this evening and we were talking about why we both want to love.

I thought about this and my more refined answer is this:

Loving is what I am good at.  I am blessed with the ability to love and to be loved even with many heartbreaks under my belt and surviving some horrible past experiences.  I am a very loving and affectionate person when the other person allows himself to be loved and receive affection.  I have infinite amount of love to give and infinite capacity to receive love.  This ability of mine isn't being used right now and I really would like to use it because I am a natural at it.

In a way, not being in a true-loving-in-love-with-each-other relationship is like Ansel Adam not able to take photographs and share it with the world.  Know what I'm sayin'?

It is not to say that I can't be happy being alone.  In fact, I've discovered that I can be quite happy with myself and being by myself cuz I do love myself (or at least getting better at it everyday).  I, however, have experienced what being in love is like and would like to have it again in my life (without all the heart aches, if possible).

OMG I am so effing drunk right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend Powerade drove my car with me and Earth Child back from the kickass party w/ the view of the Space Needle in Seattle.  It was my first time seeing the fireworks in Seattle on NY Eve.  HOLY SHIT.

I was called a whore and a slut several times by my friend Velly Good Looking.  Hahahhaha.  If you knew him, you'd take it as a compliment. It just means I'm sexy as hell cuz I was doing my provocative sexy girl dance to the music.

The wine was AWESOME and so was the champagne.  I met some really cool people too!!! 

I got to kiss Velly Good Looking for the purpose of a photo opp but it doesn't count for NY eve cuz he doesn't play on my team.  But still, it was a kiss.  Haha.

I'm one digit older for my age.  Whatever, I'm still cute and getting requests by hot men in their 20's and 30's, and 40's.  Hahhahaha.  I hold my own.

WELCOME 2008.  It's only UPHILL FROM HERE.

OKEE <3 you guys.  Seriously I do.  :)  Kisses.  Sleep tight!

I went snowboarding with Powerade today and it was fantastic!  Snoqualmie Pass was snowing the whole time and the mountain was made of powdery goodness.  I got better and better throughout the day, even Powerade noticed that I was advancing in my control and maneuver abilities.  Only majorly wiped out once (I fell forward and did a somersault 180) and it didn't even hurt.  This is the first time that I've ever snowboarded while in this good of a physical shape and I can totally feel the difference.  I LOVE SNOWBOARDING! :D  I felt one with the mountain and it was a very awesome day.

To top it off, we got some Korean food after arriving in Bellevue.  Oh man, what an excellent way to feed sore bodies.

Did I mention I love snowboarding?  Well I do.  It is my favorite activity ever and I'm gonna go again on my birthday!

I was looking at some photos of myself that I've posted on Facebook from recent events.  Man, I dress like a boy with my cute t-shirts and jeans.  I mean, I look cute, but I am yearning to be a bit more feminine lately (but still in a badass  don't mess with me kinda way).  I had Powerade take a look at two pairs of boots and helped me pick one :)

Can you guess which?  Both are hot.

I added three checklist items to my whiteboard today during work:

• Get some sleep
• Work-Life Balance
• Workout

This work week is all about deliverables being due and last minute fires.  I am feeling OK about it emotionally (taking things one thing at a time as fast as I can take 'em), but I am starting to feel the side effects of being stressed out.  My body is aching and I know that working out would make me feel better.  Geezes, what am I still doing up at 11pm?  I need to sleep so I can get up and workout!

Even though it's been a high intensity work week, I managed to have fun dinners with friends.  Monday was with my friend Earth Child at the Celtic Bayou, Tuesday with DD at the Parlor, and tonight it was grubalicious at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood with my new friend Powerade that I met at the Ginormous Software Company's gargantuan weekly new employee presentation.  Now I'm feeling el lardo for the dinner indulgence and not working out in three days.  I think I'll do either Kenpo or Plyometrics in the morning.  Nighty night!
