ok...in one hour its gonna be ash wednesday...which means to us catholics it is time to give up something for lent. i had a looong chat with april, trying to figure out what we should give up...but man, it was so damn hard. we came up with a lot of ideas but there are just some things that we can't do without.
Top 15 Failed Ideas for Lent
sex - too easy for me to give up...
boat - hell no...can't live without eating at the boat.
burgers - fat chance. (pun intended)
chocolate - i might be able to pull it off...but she can't.
ice cream - too hard...ice cream is meant to be eaten when depressed...40 days without ice cream is depressing enough.
late night food runs - impossible when i'm on spring break.
snacking throughout the day - do you want us to die???
sugar - that'd just be an excuse to eat a whole lot of other bad things...and there's no way in hell i'm gonna celebrate my birthday without my double fudge cake from jack in the crack!!
alcohol - spring break and no alcohol?!
cool away messages & aim profiles - we'd get all fidgety and twitchy without it...we know you guys would too.
underwear - it still gets cold nowadays...
chatting on aim - that's like asking the sun to stop shining and the stars to stop twinkling.
shopping - on spring break?? and before my birthday?!?!
bumming around - does that mean i have to start working out??
tv - impossible...not with the final episodes of friends and kids sleeping with hot milfs on the OC.
in the end, we decided to give up being predictable. everyday we have to do something new & different...pretty much like Ross' new years resolution a while ago on Friends. i'm also gonna try to give up using the lord's name in vain...that's gonna be a tough one. we'll see how it goes...
i remember the days of running around in the rain in my transformers briefs and screaming at the top of my lungs like a little girl...ah yes, it was fun being 19...
Cliffs notes version of what happened on our weekend roadtrip / foodrun...
Friday, February 13, 2004
originally planned to head out on the road by 10am...filipino time ended up being 12:20pm. the drive was hella long 6 hours but we kept ourselves busy with the usual singing and beat-boxing and eating. there was one moment when i was driving with my knee while eating a chocolate krispy kreme donut and sipping a coffee frappacino. yeah baby, i like to eat dangerously.
had a kickass weekend...unfortunately most of it is a big drunken, cloudy blur...
thursday, alan & james came down...played ball behind my dorm and then went back to my place...shibby...and then ate a lot.
friday we cruised up to santa barbara to party down with dan & his kegerator. started out with some tequila shots (my first time) and then had several rounds of beer pong...uhhh memory is fading...oh yeah, these three girls said i was hot. they were all up on my jock and shit...actually not really but they did say i was hot.
oh yeah, some dude was walking the streets by his loser self so we invited him for some free hot dogs & beer...i was already sloppy drunk but he said his name was Brandon and he was from Knotts [aka Knotts Scary Farm area]. i didn't realize it until later but he was johnny tsunami from those lame disney movies!! its kinda funny cuz this was the second time i met him...he used to work at this hawaiian restaurant that i was a regular at...and he unsuccessfully tried to hit on my cousin. hahahahaha
saturday morning i had a massive hangover...yacked quite a bit but then i was fine...my vision was a little blurry for the rest of the day though. we ended up eating at some hibatchi place...and the hot waitress was all up on my jock. drove back that night to cal poly so i could launch my JustBBall.com v2.5. in the meantime, alan & james were drinking with potty, anthony, angela, & elisa.
sunday afternoon, me & the guys went to an arabic restaurant that these egyptian chicks told me about. (they were all up on my jock too.) they had some real good shwarmas and arabic bread...ahhh the memories.
that night we drove back up to cal poly...had a little shibby...actually, it was a lot of shibby. A LOT. we were completely gone after that...we had a really good time...i just can't remember exactly what we did. :-p
anyways, here's some quotes:
James taking a piss in a crowded, public bathroom...
James: oooooh it burns....
Mel trying to ask James if he's coming or staying...
Drunken Mel: james, you coming or going?
James: huh??
Drunken Mel: are you coming or going???
James: what??
Drunken Mel: NO!!!...WITH US!! ARE YOU COMING OR GOING WITH US???
James: i'm staying.
Drunken Mel: oh...that makes more sense...
In the car, driving back to my house from Cal Poly...
James: are you gonna try to break melvin's time?
Alan: fuck no. i'm not gonna get another ticket.
Mel: what's the matter? too slow, too curious??
Alan:
Alan: omg that was pathetic. was that supposed to be the opposite of "fast & furious?"
Mel: yeah, we drank so freakin much last night...i'm gonna quit drinking for a while...
Mel: ...unless you guys are gonna drink tonight...
damnit, i was in a rush for class today so i brushed my teeth on the fly...then while i was walking around campus i realize i have this big, white, fat, suspicious-looking toothpaste stain on my blue shirt, sitting right on top of my crotch. :redface: no wonder they were laughing at me.
kinda bored...here's some things that have happened in the past couple weeks
met a girl named Janus...and i couldn't stop laughing inside cuz her name is like ANUS with a J.

went shopping with melissa (le)...she helped me realize how much i talk about food...literaly...
Mel: oh, and that's the papa johns where i used to eat with darwin and bojo every tuesday...soo good Mel: oh, and over there is mongolian bbq...you can eat as much as you want and they cook it right in front of you...used to go there every friday...soo good Mel: oh, and that's the only KFC around here that still sells chicken nuggets...not the crispy chicken strips...the old school chicken nuggets...sooo good Mel: ohgood, lets go to quiznos...they have the greatest cookies there ever...just ask them to put 'em in the oven and its all soft and squishy and chewy...sooo good
got a proposal from Yahoo! Sports College Broadcasting that'll pay to advertise on my justbball.com...
blocked the CRAP out of some really tall asian dude in basketball...god damn that was an ego booster.
i was playing guitar in my room and some drunk white guy comes in:
Drunk White Dude: hey!! you're filipino!! sing the filipino anthem for me!!
the first thing i hear when i wake up from surgery (exactly 4 years ago)...
Nurse #1: i think he's somoan. Nurse #2: no, i think he's mexican. he looks a little japanese though. Nurse #1: nah, he's too fat to be japanese, he has to be samoan. Nurse #3: guys, he's filipino. it says right here on his chart. Nurse #1: but filipinos are skinny. Nurse #2: yeah, he's fat.
