News to report!!
1. I’m doing my club nite fashion show thingie on Saturday August 26, so mark your calendars!! It’ll be fun!! It’s called Shrinkle’s Dollhaus. Cuz I seem to think I’m German. I’ll post a flyer when I work out more of the details!
2. Kevin and I are taking a week-long road trip thru Portland, Seattle and Vancover next Tuesday. Anyone know of anything fun going on in those cities from July 4-9? Well I know for sure we’ll be partying with Alicia, Nessa, and Minkie in Portland on the 4th and 5th, but what’s fun to do in Seattle and Vancouver on the 6th, 7th, and 8th? I’m so excited!!!
Pictures!!
In my last post where I said those were all my pictures from March, I lied! Cuz I just realized I still have pics from our trip to Albuquerque, heehee. Jen and I went to visit our old pal Herby. Good times were had! Albuquerque is awesome! The entire city is brown and turquoise, all the buildings look like round sand castles, and people wear socks with sandles everywhere. Oh and everything is covered in rhinestones and buckles! I saw these amazing hot pink cowboy boots that were COVERED in ugly turquoise rhinestones, but they were like $600. Boo!! Anyway, maybe it’s a good thing I couldn’t afford them because those boots were obnoxiously bad (but that’s what made them so goooood!!)
Enjoying a healthy breakfast at the San Jose airport.
Burgers and margaritas: the breakfast of champions!!
I like breakfast!
Layover in Denver. Tornado? Me from California, me not understand “tornado!!”
Late-nite dinner on the rooftop at Season’s. Jen, Herby, and Dave!
Dave chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
Herby fixin’ us some drinks. Jen and I counted that we EACH consumed 17 drinks that day starting with breakfast! Yuck! But seriously though, check out that hippie house…
Relaxing on Herby and Dave’s hippie furniture
Jen making new friends already!
Admiring the lovely turquoise decor in the hotel elevator (Everything in Albuquerque has some kind of turquoise decoration on it)
The front of Herby and Dave’s curved house. Isn’t it cute?! I think people in Albuquerque hate angles and sharp edges.
There are giant ants everywhere too!!!!!!!
This is part of their backyard. Corn field?! Or something???
We took the tram to the top of Sandia Peak
There are lots of cockroaches in Albuquerque too. Every night Herby has to sweep them off his porch. Delicious!
Our lovely room at the Best Western
Havin’ a few drinks at the Anodyne.
Shopping in Santa Fe. See what I mean by the buildings all looking like sand castles?? Sooo cute!! It feels like Disneyland!
Old church
I have no idea what this is or why I took a picture of it. It just seemed very “New Mexico!”
Some famous staircase in the church. You have to pay $2 to hear the story about why it’s famous, but I wasn’t really paying attention.
I’m proud to have such mature friends!!
A lovely evening at the Martini Grille
I forgot what restaurant this was in. But we ate here the morning we left.
Layover in Denver again. THEY HAVE A BAR IN THEIR QUIZNOS!!!!!!!!!!
See, I’m not making this shit up!!
****************************
Sometime in the beginning of April, my sister and I went to visit Caveman. Caveman’s real name is Mr. Hentschke, and he was our high school science teacher. I can’t remember EVER calling him “Mr. Hentschke,” even when I was in his class! A lot of people think it’s weird that I visit him at his house, but fuck you, it’s not weird! I love his wife, I wiped their kid’s ass, and he’s a caveman so there are always all sorts of cool shit and animals at his house to play with. Every spring he buys baby chicks for a class project. When the project is over, he takes the chickens home and raises them as pets. This is usually around the time I like to visit. LOOK HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!! This one was my favorite!!
My sister had him as a teacher too.
****************************
Party time!! On April 15 we had a prison-themed party at our house to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Daria’s jail release. Screencap of the Evite (awesomely photoshopped mugshot by Kevin):
Getting ready for the par-tay! Kevin gives Jade a prison tattoo
It says Milpitas, in case you’re wondering. Which I guess is only funny if you’re from Milpitas.
That’s right, bitches! Matching neck tattoos!!
Chillin’ like villains
Ryan the private investigator
Bitch, you wanna piece of dis????!!!
Meet the kitchen staff
Proud to be a Doan brother!

You’ll notice that I’m pretty much doing the same poses in every picture. But I’m new at this gangsta shit, I’m still learning!!
The Guest of Honor arrives… and is also the only person not in costume!!!

See!!! :-}
Doan brothers

Ryan and Melisser
Dangerrr, Josh, Mandy
He gives me special treatment if I sit on his lap
We trade all sorts of favors
Daria gets her lip pierced in our bathroom (how sanitary!)
Wassup
Busted!!
Mike snooped thru my eBay bids and ended up getting the same jumpsuit as me, haha! They were originally identical, but I cut my sleeves off to appear “tougher.” Do I look like I can kick his ass? I think so!!
Weeeeeeeee
Hello Ann!
Sinh and Lil’ Kimmy
In a drunken haze, I think I told Josh he looked sexy. The next day I grossed out on what I said and apologized. Sorry again, pal!
Cutest picture of all time x 1000000000000
Dang!!
Mike and Abe
Heyyyyy those ain’t prison stripes, boys! You cheat!! What happened to your jumpsuit, Mike?!
The good old days! Ahem…
Rolla, Jessica, Chip, Lil’ Kimmy
Don’t do it, Brian!!!
Don’t cry, Sinh!
The next morning

“THEIR QUIZNO’S HAD A BAR!”
i want to have a prison party so badly now!!
Dude, the Abu Girhab (yeah, I know I fucked the spelling) pictures are HYSTERICAL! LOL
Random question: What kind of camera is it that you use? I want one.
Hey girl! Most of these pics were taken with a Canon Powershot SD10. Some of these pics were from my friends’ cameras, but the majority are from mine! :-)
That looks like such a fun party!
muhahaha DAMN you’re hella gangsta! i can understand why u did that pose like all night nonstop! n yah i did laugh at the milpitas tattoo…but if u wanna keep with the times now, you gotta put m-town..

I work at a Quizno’s. I wish we had bar *longing…*
I’m jealous you work at Quizno’s at all! I LOVE the veggie sandwiches, mmmmmmmmmm!! If I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of my life, that would have to be it, haha!
Have a beach party on Jericho beach! I’ll look up and see if anything is going on those days for you in Vansterdam!
Your life looks like such an event! Lucky girl. :D
dont worry, in reality she spends most of her time in pajamas with her cats and at the post office.
That sounds pretty awesome to me!
Oooh, I miss costumed partys, nobody does that in France! :/
eBay model!!! woo!
one question…
prison party = buttsex ?
I gasped when I saw your icon… your hair! ♥
thanks. it grows fast!
man, you & your friends are SO cute.
i’m not sure if i told you about the
dream i had about you?
you ran this paint store and i went in
to get paint and kevin came in all hectic
about to miss a flight, and you went with
him and let me take over the paint store.
haha. wow. =]
Haha damn, I was hoping it was a dirty dream! Jk! :-D
dude, maybe i am drunk, but this is the best ebtry in awhile. See you in a couple of days!
love your picture updates – your life and friends seem so colourful and happy ;)
the best part of the evite is “no…groups of single guys in button-up shirts”. ha! also, i am now jealous of daria (as if i wasn’t already) b/c i miss my lipring once again. too bad, so sad. =(
Haha I felt like a jerk putting that on the invite, but ya never know! :-D
I love liprings! You should re-do yours!!
i know! i really want to. if i do i’m going for snakebites this time i think. we’ll see. i need to have one last hurrah before i’m forced to lose all sense of individuality and enter corporate america. *snooze*
hehe, i love all the photos. and its really bizzare, but i was born in albuquerque. obviously nothing changes in a place like that.
lol@ the jail party. that’s awesome
I wish I could tell you what to do, but I never really get out! Haha.
You could always come let me do your hair at school on the 7th or 8th! Haha. In my dreams.
these photos are BADICAL. i have the urge to get some jailbait tattoos.. new mexico makes me think of that alien show roswell. that shit was fucked up.
hahaha you’re really scarey as a prisoner!!!!!!
Yup, all 5′1″ of me! :-D
LOL milpitas T_T milpitas is so thug… even though you can’t even go 32 mph on a 30 mph zone cuz the cops WILL pull you over.
I’ve gotten sooooooooo many ticket in Milpitas, they actually had to suspend my license! The dumbest one I ever got was not stopping a full 3 seconds at a stop sign. I guess I did a “rolling” stop. Even the cop seemed to feel stupid giving me a ticket for it. Guess they gotta meet their quotas!!! :-}
Ohhh, fashion show – do you need a model? ;)
The roadtrip sounds like fun; those are the 3 major cities taht I want to visit on the West Coast still. I’m sure lots of good pics will come back from that journey.
jen’s hair is amazing. it’s so BRIGHT. damn.
that is the best jail themed part i think i’ve ever seen. kudos! also you make an awesome jail gangsta!
That’s cuz I AM a gangsta, beeeeyotch!!!
AAAIIEEE!!!!
fuckin gangsta beyotch stabbed me y’alls! imma get you with my crew after i get me some stiches…and this blade out!! you is one tufffff motha!
Um, is that a plastic monkey on the margarita glass?
Haha yes! Isn’t it cute?!
I love the Mary Janes that you and your friend have. Where can I get me a pair?
Hey babe! We both got ‘em on eBay, but my friend says they sell them at Hot Topic now. The brand is Demonia, which is pretty easy to find online! Hope that helps! :-)
I would have such a fabulous life if my name was Amy Doan! You always seem to have so much damned fun. I’m not moving to San Jose now. Destination Glendale is now underway. I didn’t make it to E3 due to a fight with my best friends bitch. Ugh. Suck.
Did you get to watch Desperation? I did. It was…ok…I guess. It’s probably better then HellBoy 2 will be!!! Ha ha!
BTW….the hand signs you are making are the international gang sign for “Wal Mart” One “W” up, One “w” down!
Dude well you still have to come up to San Ho/San Fran to visit me! I owe you a burrito, remember?! :-D
And YES I totally saw Desperatoin and it sucked! I wanted to turn it off after Ron Perlman dies, but I forced myself to sit thru it in case he came back as a ghost.
And um yes, I am totally making the Walmart sign! You caught meee! ;-)
Yes, I’m still coming! I was supposed to go for E3, but there was a bunch of drama-rama and I had to cancel the trip. So, my friend owes me a roundtrip ticket to Cali, which hopefully I get to reimburse for October! I’ll keep you posted on when the exact time will be!
Yeah…I was disappointed. The book was much better, though definately not King’s best work.
hehe, I used to be down with WM, but I hate them now because my managers there are fascists pricks. Plus I hear that all our neighboring stores pay cake decorators 2x what wally pays me. So…me working at walmart still makes me an idiot. =) Isn’t ignorance supposed to be bliss? *wretch*
I am so glad you took a picture of that friggin’ staircase in Santa Fe – saves me two bucks!
Haha but don’t you want to hear the story of why it’s so fabulous? Two bucks please!!
omg pleeeaaassee make your fashion show 18+ or all ages, I’m begging you ;_;
Hey kitty kat! Unfortunately the club is 21 and over only cuz they have a bar, but hey!! You’ve got a whole month to find a fake ID, heeheehee! I’m so bad! ;-)
haha. your description of Albequerque is dead on. But you forgot to mention the scorching hot wieather and almost EVERY person is blonde and blue-eyed….it’s crazy. the best place in Albequerque is OLDE TOWN in central.
i am in love with your eyes. what brand of contacts do you have?
the party looks effin hillarious!!!
Luckily the weather was gorgeous when we were there. But you’re right–everyone WAS blonde and blue-eyed! Creeeeeeeeeeeepy! :-D
My contacts are Sapphire by Acuvue. :-)
I <3 the prison party pix.....so cute.
Thanks baby!!
in your gangster outfit you remind me of lucy.
poster. i’m so happy you put it up!
i mean…
me like prison picture
Dude.. you went to Caveman’s House!!!!.. Is he still Caveman… or did he hang up the “club”.. hahaha.. I made a double entendre!!! We had his Driver’s License once… he left it at at cactus…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Dude you have the wrong guy!!! I was so confused by your comment, so I asked Kevin. He said, “Yeah! There was this guy who used to walk around downtown, and he’d wear furry underwear like something Fred Flintstone would wear.” I have no idea who you guys are talking about, but I’m positive that it is not the same guy as my high school science teacher, hahahahahahahah!!!
OK… OMG.. I was sooooo scared for a sec… hahahahhahah.. I am like “NOOOOO don’t go to Caveman’s house!!!”… we had that guy booted from Cactus so many times for trying to dry hump the girls… I heard he was a teacher once… but now that I think of it that was another creepy weird old guy named Ruben.. OK.. i feel much better now :)
OH MY GOD
I TOTALLY REMEMBER RUBEN
The pirate? I remember he cuz I was all shocked that he was a high school history teacher. He used to carry around a “modeling portfolio” which was basically just a binder with black and white 8×10s of him in different thongs!! Remember that? One time I got drunk and danced with him at the Cactus Club and he was doing all these rad sorcerer moves. My friends took pictures. Oh how I wish I knew where those pictures were! Hahaha. Oh, San Jose!
Ruben was soo funny.. he TOTALLY has sorcerer moves!!!!!!!!!He talked all freaky too.. My friend Jen’s little brother actually had him as a substitute once.. hahahah.. he alway wore the WWII helmet with the lace dress and like pink heels and spats… with the heavy cakey make-up………and a beard!!! If you ever find those pics you have to show me!!!!
hahaha man i totally saw your sister at The Pillows show this week. Were you there as well?
Haha how funny! No, I didn’t go to that. But it’s awesome that you recognized her as my sister cuz most people go up to her and ask if she’s ME, haha!
Hey the staircase actually looks familiar–I think it’s supposed to be haunted or something, I wish I could remember the story but I remember something about haunted stairs in a church. Sorry, I am a former Travel channel addict.
I don’t think it’s haunted, but I think the story goes something like… the nuns at this church prayed for a staircase and on the 9th day a mysterious carpenter showed up and built them one. Or something!!
lol…that was so just an excuse to get drunk and dress up like ghetto biatches. where the fuck was daria in all that?
the pictures of one of your friends bending over with a broom is just begging to get photoshopped with harry potter taking him from behind XD
Haha Daria showed up so late we barely had any pictures of her!! And dude, you are dirty for Harry Potter!! ;-)
your 6 foot tall poster of ron perlman makes me feel better about my 6 foot tall poster of carrot top.
Hahahah for some reason I think Carrot Top is more pervy!!!!!!!!!!
oh my god those ants are huge!!!!
dude. i dont even remember half of the prison party pics.
daria got her lip pierced there?! ha. that’s what i get for getting there late.
ahhh, the good old days.
aww I live in tacoma!! that would be crazy if I saw you!!
Whoa, I just saw you on http://www.pixelgirlshop.com
You’re everywhere on the net!
Haha I love Pixelgirlshop! She has really cute stuff! :-D
wow, I was wondering what that parties about! U always have kick ass parties! That’s a creative theme.I woulda gotten a cool costume from my mom, cause she works at the jail hahahah.
Um, your friend really did go to prison? =X
I’m going to Seattle/Vancouver too, but from July 19-25 to see my sis. Tell me what fun spots u hit up =)!
YOUR MOM WORKS AT THE JAIL?! Whoa, what does she do?! I’m a wimp, I’d be way too scared to work in a jail!!
So you’re probably in Seattle/Vancouver right now. Anyway, we only got to stay in Seattle for a few hours cuz we were running late, but we went shopping in Capitol Hill (tons of cool clothing stores) and then had dinner with a friend. As for Vancouver, there isn’t a lot in the way of punk clubs, so we pretty much just ate our way across the city, hahaha! We walked to the aquarium too, it’s a nice walk thru the park. :-)
My mom’s a nurse there hehe. I wonder if she can hook me up with a cop lol. Yea,I’d be too chicken too. So what made u stop eating meat?
Aww, I didn’t get to do those things. Seattle seems cool though, but my sis says the traffic is worse there than here! I don’t know about that, It’s already crazy driving here.
yay for crazy funny pictures. excellent rendition of a chola girl. i’m from miami, so i know me some chola girls. or as they are often called in my parts, chonga girls
Woo hoo! You should have dressed me for the party then, heehee!
I love it how your cats always seem to steal the show at the end.
m
My cats are superstars! :-D
You guys are so cool.
._.
You make my paries look lame.
I guess they are.. >_>
Haha.
Your too cool.
Awww no party is lame as long as you have fun! Thanks babe! :-D
hey amy :) i was wondering where you & jen got your cute little vintage sweater jackets… i’ve been looking for one of those forever, i’ve even checked ebay to avail :(
Hey girl! We both bought ours on eBay! Just do a search for “vintage sweater jacket.” And add words like heart or unicorn. I’ve seen a lot of them floating around lately, for some reason people love to sell them in the summer when no one buys jackets, so you can get them for pretty cheap! :-D
Man, in that first picture of your boy sleeping in front of the black and white cat… That cat looks positively outraged by his being there! More like “WTF is this shit?!”
HAha I love cats.
Heehee Maus is pissed off like 99.9999999999% of the time! :-D
