This is going to be a brief update, because I realized (after prodding from Jackie and Angel) that I haven’t written in quite some time in here, and though a ton of things have been on my mind, I haven’t had time to jot them all down in forever. It bugs me sometimes, that dieting and work basically combine to get in the way of a lot of free time, but mostly, I’ve been content and not much has been up until now anyway.

Today, Adriann, Deana, and I did the AIDS walk LA, a 6-mile trek through West Hollywood, which is an experience in itself. Poor Adriann was pretty miserable, but I enjoyed the walk as much as I could with an aching back, heat-induced headache, and probably scalp and lip burn. ;) I’m weak.

West Hollywood was a treat! Getting to see all the incredible shops and restaurants, not to mention the atmosphere itself, was incredible. We found a Vegetarian Thai food place along the route that looked SO. EFFING. GOOD. They had “mock duck” and soy chicken dishes – the perfect mix of some interesting food.

After the AIDS walk, we drove up to Whimsic Alley, which is a Harry Potter themed store to buy Hogwarts robes, sweaters, skirts, ties, shirts, etc. I finally got my Slytherin robes!!!! So I’m officially going as Snape for Yaoi Con this coming Friday, which is soooo amazing. While in the store, Deana saw a flyer for Harry Potter Day at Disneyland. It’s November 4th!! Since Disney has weird rules about dressing up, we can’t really wear our robes, but we can sure as heck wear our shirts and ties. Did I mention my robe, off topic, has a WAND POCKET?? And that I have a WAND that goes in it? :D It’s the little things.

So yeah, things to look forward to:

Yaoi Con on Friday-Sunday in San Francisco!!

Harry Potter Day at Disneyland the following weekend!!!

I feel like there’s more, and there probably is, but right now that seems like enough. :)

We went to Disneyland on Friday to see Adriann’s friend Stephanie and also luckily got to hang with Greg and Heather. Lately, I’ve just adored getting together with them and chilling. They’ve been ultimately cool. After that, we met up with Deana, Lauren, Jess, Robert, Chris, and BFF HP Ben!!! for dinner at Rainforest Cafe. The dinner was incredibly fun – I got to sit next to Ben *fangirls!!!* – and when Ben asked about pricing on our apartments, I was thrilled. If he moves to Fullerton, I want to hang out with him a lot more.

A couple weekends ago we went to the Hookah Lounge with Deana, Lauren, Heather, and Greg, which was also fun. The atmosphere is really indie and cool, and though Adriann and I are too straight-edge to do the Hookah (it’s like flavored smoking, Eastern-Style), I love sitting around and chatting…and watching the belly dancers is a plus. ehe =^_^=

I really love the group of friends we have out here. It makes me wish Jackie, Vickie, and Jenn could live here too. It would be wonderful to have all my favorite people in the same room. I can dream, I guess.

Adriann’s here and not feeling well, so I think I’m going to lay next to her and cuddle for a bit. <3
