It’s 4:30pm and we still have no plans for New Years! Here’s what I predict will end up happening.

We will sit around in our pajamas for the next few hours going, “So what are we doing tonite?” I will suggest going to San Francisco, but Kevin will argue that we should stay in San Jose. I will give in, knowing that every time we go to San Francisco Kevin makes a big show of being miserable. We will hang around in our pajamas until 8pm, hoping someone calls to tell us about a really cool party in SAN JOSE. At 8:30 someone will call or e-mail us about a house party. It won’t sound spectacular, but we will go anyway because we’re desperate. We won’t know anyone there, and the music will be really bad. So I’ll suggest we go somewhere else. Kevin will suggest the Blank Club. I’ll be drunk, and The Blank Club won’t sound so bad. So I’ll agree to go. Once we’re there, I’ll have a few more drinks, complain to Kevin how we always end up at the Blank Club, and then tell Kevin’s friend Larry (who owns the Blank Club) how much I hate him.

My life is so pathetic and predictable!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

So we went to Tower Records tonite, and Kevin was absentmindedly flipping through a car magazine when he stumbled across this photo.

I MADE THAT OUTFIT!!!!

Raaaaaaaaaaaad!!! I know it’s not really that big of a deal, but I was pretty excited. And it’s nice to see my clothes on an import model who doesn’t subscribe to the cookie-cutter “car model” image of cut-off denim daisy dukes and and a day-glo pink bikini top. For anyone who cares, it’s on page 79 of Access Unlimited!!!!

Happy couple shit. We actually just realized that our 2-year anniversary was a few weeks ago and we both forgot!

I asked this in my last entry but no one responded, so here it goes again: Anyone know of anything fun to do in San Francisco or L.A. for New Years? Last year we went to the Club Makeup party in L.A., but it wasn’t that great cuz by then Club Makeup had turned into a creepy aggressive single guy haven. But I guess that would be most of the clubs in L.A. Hahahaha (L.A. lovers, please don’t flame my journal, I was just kidding).

Christmas was good. I made this for Kevin! The whole thing is made of felt and looks much better in person, but my camera dulls out the colors.

So let’s see. On Tuesday we had a small celebration with my family. We don’t really celebrate Christmas too much. My mom made meatloaf, and I got um… a set of drinking glasses from my parents. The next morning Kevin and I drove up to the mountains to visit his brother for a few days. Anyone ever been to Groveland? It’s so far out in the boonies, I couldn’t believe we were still in California!! I packed my polka dot mini dress and knee socks, and of course it was SNOWING. We had dinner in a small town called Sonora. I love how nice people are in small towns! In big cities like San Jose or San Francisco, everyone just wants everyone else to get out of their way so they can get on with their shit. But in these tiny little towns in the woods, people are such chatterboxes and always smiling and laughing. And they are so unguarded! This lady who was working at the gas station kept making dirty jokes with me and Kevin. I was blushing like crazy, but I guess it’s totally normal among the locals to joke around like that.

I saw my very first snowflakes! I’ve seen snow before, like when I went snowboarding a few years ago, but I’ve never actually seen snow FALLING. It was so amazingly gorgeous, especially since we were in the woods. Kevin and I ran outside to take a walk, but we didn’t last long cuz we aren’t used to being soooo cold. I remember thinking, “Ahhhh! NOW I know why it’s harder to sell mini skirts in the winter! Duh!” Yeah I know, it’s obvious. But it doesn’t get THAT cold where I live, so I never fully grasped why no one wants to buy my mini skirts in December. Hahaha. Smart Shrinkle.

KEVIN’S MOM BOUGHT ME A PINK RABBIT FUR COAT!!! Yeah. Now there’s a German woman who knows how to SHOP! I know I should feel guilty about the fur thing, but….. it’s pink!! I’ll just have to remember to stay away from PETA fanatics and liberal towns like Berkeley. Kevin says it’s okay to wear rabbit fur because they eat the rabbit’s meat too, so it’s not like the rabbit was wastefully killed in the name of fashion. Anyone know if this is true? Facts are good, but please don’t flame my journal with “ANIMAL KILLER” comments because I don’t wanna hear it. I love animals too; this is a sincere question not meant to bring about any nasty comments.

Other than that, Groveland was pretty boring. We were cooped up in the house for two days with nothing to do but watch TV and read magazines. I read two entire years’ worth of Allure back issues!!! And I finally saw one of the Lord of the Rings movies. The second one. Mmmmm Viggo Mortensen!!! If me and Johnny Depp ever break up, maybe I’ll ask Viggo out on a date.

Thanks to everyone who sent Christmas cards! They were all so sweet and funny. I didn’t send out cards this year because we didn’t have time to make any, and I hate sending out cards unless I made them myself. So please don’t take it personally if you didn’t get a card from me this year, because neither did anyone else! Here’s the one we sent out last year though. Print it out and forge my name on the back so we can pretend that I sent you one!

Does anyone know of anything fun to do for New Years? Something that’s NOT in San Jose!!! I will shoot myself in the face before going to the Blank Club I’m soooo sick of going there. Anything fun going on in San Francisco or L.A.?

I have like a million thousand things to do today, but I’m going to procrastinate and update my Livejournal instead.

Here is me and Kevin’s “couple picture” from the company Christmas party last Friday. Look at us trying to be posh! It was awesome. We pulled up in our car, and this guy in a white tuxedo opened my door for me and offered me his hand. Of course I am really ghetto and not used to being treated like Paris Hilton, so I got nervous and attempted to exit the car while still wearing my seat belt.

The party was sooooo rad; it’s fun pretending you’re all upper class and shit! Two people thought my dress was Betsey Johnson, like I could REALLY afford Betsey Johnson. And every time I burped, Kevin nudged me and said, “Act upperclass!” and I’d stand up straight like I was upperclass. Dinner was buffet-style, but I guess rich people eat small portions because the plates they give you are TINY! I had to arrange my meatballs in a pyramid just to get a decent amount on my plate. I pigged out BIG TIME on sushi, pot stickers, cheese balls and tirimisu with real gold flakes sprinkled on top! If that’s how rich people eat, I want to grow up and be a rich person. Except for the part where I can’t burp in public.

But what’s a Livejournal update without KITTY PICTURES!!! As I was walking home from the post office last Thursday, I found this little angel shivering in the rain, trying to eat scraps off a discarded chicken bone. I put him in my pocket and brought him home, but Kevin wouldn’t let me keep him because Tako and Maus are already a handful. So we gave him to a nice couple at Kevin’s work.
