The unfinished mural on the wall! I wish I had stayed to snap a picture of the finished project, it’s really awesome. Maybe next time I stop by Tap, I’ll snap a picture.

One of my bestest friends who works there, Joey!

My friend who owns the place, he totally doesn’t know I took this picture. Well, I guess now he does. Sorry about that Ray… well no, not really lol .

One of my childhood best friends! We’ve grown apart in the last 10 or so years, but it’s always a pleasure to see her! We went on a quick Target run and it was nice hanging out again. You can’t see it, but we’re both sporting a Dyno shirt. I actually bought another one while I was there.

And why the hell is my hair blonde?! It’s red now! Ugh, damn you lighting!

One of the coolest things is all the weird things my friends come up with for new drinks and of course, getting to taste it all. Joey made a Chips Ahoy smoothie to be honest, it was good.

It was really really nice seeing my friends again, it’s been a really long time and I’ve been so busy with school and dealing with the married life that I barely get time to see or talk to my friends any more…

Hubby and I had to leave early because he was going to catch the Mosley and Mayweather fight at his friends house with his boys.

I ended up going, even though I had a grudge against the guy who’s house it was at… I decided to let it go. It’s been a few years since we had that fight and it was nice to see Adam again and not hate him. He’s a cool guy, just really hard to deal with sometimes (I mean that in a good way, if that makes sense)! And again, it was really really nice seeing the guys again. It’s been years since I’ve seen them… I guess that’s on me, I’ve been avoiding them. But it reminded me how much I miss them, even if they don’t really care for me being around. They’re all hilarious! And I missed long tight hugs from Mondo and the dumb things Ian says. And talking to Angela about Twilight! The downside to hanging out with the crew? They never go home. Seriously. Hang outs with them don’t end til 8AM, I’m being literal. These people don’t sleep! Which is great cause I don’t either, except I can’t be home that late lol.

Oh, the fight itself? Was intense. I see why people like boxing so much lol. I wish I had taken pictures of them playing beer pong and hanging out. Wasn’t really thinking about it, I guess lol.

So Audition Day came and went… and it was a great experience. For once, I was not afraid standing in front of all those people I did not know with lights beaming on me and everyone just staring. My husband and sister-in-law came with me and we all stood there and answered questions. I was confident in the fact that there was no question they could ask me that would throw me off. Of course, I was wrong… but it was still a wonderful experience and it didn’t throw off my confidence!

First 50 people who got there were suppose to get a free Wicked poster signed by the San Fran cast but instead they gave out free signed CD’s! Even better! Even though my signature from Nicolas Dromard doesn’t match the one on my Play Bill, hmm… Nicolas? lol. We also got a $50 restaurant gift certificate.

I didn’t get my slot time before leaving the house so… I got to wait two hours before my name was called. I took the time to finish my Taco Bell. Bad idea, I had to poop when they called my name lol.

My sister-in-law had a crush on the worker running the sign in booth. Every time she passed by, my sister-in-law (left) would turn to my husband and go “yep! My future wife, right there!” LOL!

I was hoping my audition would end with enough time to go to the theater and say hi to the Wicked cast at Stage Door, but it ended pretty late. So we went searching for Chinatown instead and I was right . I haven’t been here since… before my husband and I started dating… and I met up with an ex boyfriend (who’s friendship I miss) that night with my cousin and two of my gay friends before we headed to the beach to drink where I ended up calling…. never mind lol. Let’s just say… memories of my old life. That’s all.

I have a love/hate relationship with San Fran, granted it never did anything to me… it was the things I did in it that I hate. Maybe I just have a love/hate relationship with my choices when I was younger. Not that I regret any of it, because I don’t. I cherish all the mistakes I made, especially the ones I made in SanFran, they’re what made me who I am today… a wiser and stronger person. But I do miss the “friends” I had. I do miss the people I hung around. I do miss the person who I never thought would leave me behind the most. Crazy, it’s been 6 years and sometimes I still wonder about it. And I should probably stop, or find some kind of final closure.

But at the same time, my memories of San Fran have been replaced with shopping, culinary school memories and of course, Wicked. Pier 39 doesn’t hold the same memories it use to when I’m there anymore, its replaced with memories of my husband watching sunset’s I use to watch alone, with me. With meals at Wipe Out (shark bites!), Bubba Gumps and Hard Rock Cafe. With walking from Pier 39 to Ghirardelli Square for banana splits and playing in the sand.

Sorry, I’m getting off track here, aren’t I?

We left before the parking garage closed (it was a Sunday) and spent the rest of the day at Barns & Nobles in Emeryville. Sadly everything else on Bay Street was closed. Darn you Sunday’s!

This day was an unforgettable experience for me and if it wasn’t for my obsession with Wicked, I would had never even applied for this experience. So thank you, Wicked. You’ve opened so many doors for me and you’ve helped me build a little more self confidence.

Does anyone remember Samurai Girl? It was a mini series that came out in 2008.

I remember it was around the time I was in love with Twilight and Martin had spent the weekend here and we watched Samurai Girl. I just recently found out that there are 6 episodes instead of the 3 they showed that weekend. I feel left out! So I bought it on itunes .

Its a great mini series, everyone should definitely check it out!

Husband is not going to like this post lol (MAC haul I did last April).

I havent forgotten about 100 happy things, I just havent really had time to think about what I wanted to post next. But, I’ve got a couple of things in mind .

MAC makeup makes me happy. I cant really explain why and yes at some point of my life, I thought anyone who bought MAC makeup was a complete utter dumbass (this was when I was a full out tomboy) but now I find myself remembering eye shadow and lipstick names, brush names and collections. Just stepping into a MAC store is happiness. There’s so many colors, so many things to play with! And I also LOVE the fact that their lipgloss and lipsticks smell like vanilla cake and that their tinted lip conditioners also taste like it! Sometimes I just sit on my floor and smell my lipglasses, I cant help it! They smell so yummy !

Also, the fact you can make your own palettes? Come on, how can you NOT like that! And also, their makeup removers smell really good.

I’ve been hooked on this song lately. It’s one of those soothing songs you imagine yourself listening to while you’re taking a candle lit bubble bath and reading a book.

I live for songs that are like this. Slow and relaxing. Not to mention growing up I was an insanely HUGE Dru Hill fan.

Just for the record, I was tempted to make the first entry Wicked but I figure I’ll save that for later hehe.

So the whole day I was trying to avoid contact with people since I knew I’d end up taking it on someone (hey, at least I know!). I took a nap to try to sleep it off, but I kept getting phone calls. Is it just me or do you get the most phone calls when you’re napping? Goodness.

Martin was suppose to come home today, he didnt end up calling me until 1700 to tell me hes not coming home today. Boo. Add on to the bad mood day why dont you! On the upside, I finally got my Sephora order. It only took 10 days to get here, ugh. I surprisingly  havent ordered much from Sephora in the last year. Since that one incident that happened around the beginning of the year. And the only reason I made an order this time was because the VIB’s got a 20% off code and I skipped the Friends & Family sale. I’m glad I did! The VIB’s code came out around the time the holiday stuff came out. I’m a sucker for holiday stuff, especially from Philosophy!

So since today was a big huge ball or irritation and negativity, I decided to start a project. I was inspired by this site, I’ve been reading it for a few days now and I love it!

I decided to do 100 Happy Things. Where I list 100 things that make me happy (not at the same time) and why. I wont make this a project 365 type of thing (cause I’m a pro at failing those) but just whenever I feel like updating it. Once I hit 100, I’ll add on 100 more and so on. I’m pretty excited about this, I always get excited over new projects lol!

I’ll make a new entry for it, I dont want me explaining my bad day to taint it haha.
