opening for Alicia Keys was some guy named Jermaine Paul (i think) and he was super foine.

after him, Jordin Sparks (ehh) and then Ne-yo. oooh, Ne-yo. I was a fan before but i'm a superfan now!

We had super, super, super awesome seats and Dakota Fanning sat with her parents a row behind us. I hear Britney Spears was in the audience that night, too, but I didn't see her. booo.

Alicia Keys is a force- singing, piano playing, hotness all around. I hated what she wore, though... white skinny pants? someone tell that girl she has a booty and white stretch pants don't look good on nobody. I couldn't stop staring at her camel toe all night- we were in the 5th row, 100 section so that toe was clear as day.

i'm going to see Alicia Keys tonight with Grace. yay!!

it's my first *real* concert... because Yanni three times with my dad and NKOTB back in 3rd grade don't really count, right?

sometimes, when i'm having a crap day, i'll click thru my bookmarked links and reread this craigslist post. it makes me laugh out loud, really laugh, really loud, because ooohshiet, it's so true, so true.

with that said, another 4 weeks until i'm on the rag again... thk is probably relieved as i was riding his ass (not literally, ew) about wedding crap all last week and hello? did anything get done? even with all that nagging?

nope, not one thing. siiiiiiigh. we suck at party planning. i'm embarrassed to admit that i hate wedding planning, and i hate having to be the bride and make so many decisions. we just want to be married already, who cares about all this wedding crap?! i wish we would have eloped and saved the money for some bomb ass furniture. or a car. or something, anything, more tangible.

maybe that's just pms (post, not pre) talking.

hi hun, whacha doing?

I'm calling my cousin Ramon so we can go to the strip club.

what?

I'm playing GTA and I just got done having sex so now i'm calling my cousin Ramon so we can go to the strip club!

you're ... playing.. video game p0rn?

no! i'm experiencing life as a criminal without actually becoming a real criminal, honey.

ooh. ok, call me when you're done.

and then later, he texts me a video of his game- his character getting a lap dance by some skeezy in a thong and skimpy bra, bending over in front of his face and slapping her ass. sweeeet. interactive video game p0rn. no wonder he's been staying home every night this week! :D

on Sunday, before the release of GTA in stores, thk and I went to church with his parents and then ran some errands. One of our stops included getting gas, rice, and soft serve at Costco.

Costco + Sunday afternoon + Puente Hills area = HELL.

So thk is waiting in line for grub and I'm hanging out with his folks at one of the outside tables. As I go to sit down, a rude ass lady gruffs "EXCUSE ME!" as her, her husband, and her cart full of shit tries to squeeze by me. I moved, immediately. THEN!! THEN!! the skeezey old asian biznatch said "Yeah, you better move your fat ass!"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was shocked! first, her ass was a lot larger than mine. second, I was standing there with thk's parents so i had to supress my first reaction of punching her in her vagina. thk walked up right at that moment and before i had a chance to to say anything, he saw my shocked face and asked what happened.

that... that lady totally was so rude to me!

why?

she said excuse me so i moved and then she said "YEAH, you better move your fat ass!" to me!!

SHE DID? you sure?

yes! what the hell!

and before I knew it, thk had turned on his heels and was jogging towards the lady, her cart, and her husband half way down the street.

dun. dun. duuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!!

there was a lot of hand gesturing, shrugging of shoulders, and then I saw thk kind of punk her and then she yelled, "OH YEAH! FUCK YOU! YOU SHUT FUCKING UP!*" to thk as he walked nonchalantly back to us. The lady's husband tugged at her arm and started steering their cart to their car.

what the heck was that?!

I wasn't going to let her be mean to you.

what happened? what did she say?

I asked her if she was rude to you and she denied it. I told her that wasn't what you told me, and that she needs to learn how to be more respectful because there wasn't any reason to be rude. Then she started to cuss so I told her "You don't really want to be hit right now!**"

what! oh my gawd, honey!

Then her husband told her to walk away and she kept cussing so I told her- "I don't see him saying anything ...at least my wife has a husband that's willing to stand up for her... what about you?"

!!

then I came back here and she was yelling at me and at her husband for not saying anything to me!

hahhaa!!

BEST.COSTCO.STORY.EVER. seriously, who does that?

later, in the car, thk says to me- hun, we're getting married! if someone is rude to you, I'll fight your fight.

awwwwwwwwwwww. <3 isn't he just the sweetest, ghetto-est, loveliest man ever? :D  

*not a typo. she yelled "you shut fucking up!" because she was an older fobby taiwanese chick. biznatch!

**thk is the most nonviolent person you'll ever meet. he's super gentle and kind and sweet and well-mannered and so this statement is totally out of character and he would never hit a lady. or a man. ok, maybe a man, but never a woman even if she was being a total bitch.

thk loves arby's.

pshhhh. don't pretend as if you don't enjoy an arby's melt every once in a while, too, smothered in processed cheese and eight packets of horsey sauce.*

ok, ten packets.

given a choice, thk will choose arby's 7 times out of 10 for a fast food meal.

my first choice? Wendy's. always.

their 99 cent menu is to die for- 5 chicken nuggets? 99cents! a bacon cheeseburger? 99 cents! side cesear salad? 99 cents! small frosty? that's right! NINETY NINE CENTS!

this morning, i knew the gods were smiling upon us because of this little news blurb.

and when i emailed thk the article, he responded exactly the way I hoped he would-

but will it become one super restaurant like

wenbys?

or arbendys?

with a 99 cent menu of wendys and slightly higher priced roast beef?
i sure hope so.

 

seriously. this man is my soul mate. I'd been thinking about the potential behind "Wenby's" all morning, haha!

mmmm, Wenby's.

*thk swears he "HATES MAYO!!" but hello? horsey sauce? isn't that just mayo + horseraddish? or am i mistaken?

my whole life, i rarely washed my face with anything other than water.

and now, when i have to wash off make-up, i use... just water.

so far, so good- i'm totally blessed with having highly tolerant skin.

only when i'm crazy, majorly stressed out will I "break out" and at worst, it's one or two teeny tiny pimples.

lately i've noticed my skin becoming more sensitive and a light smattering of freckles have shown up on my forehead, across my cheeks, on my nose. hmmm. maybe i should have worn some sunblock during all those years of swim team and water polo. hmmm.

this past week hasn't been particularly stressful but my right cheek has been slightly rashy/bumpy. maybe it's because i passed out fell asleep without washing my face on Friday night after this:

Grace! >:O

damn frosting is effing up my skin!

can someone recommend a good skin cleanser? I'm looking for <$50, something that will leave my skin soft and moistorized, and can help my skin look more glowy before August.

I already own/rarely use shu uemura's cleansing oil , Shiseido Pureness Cleansing Foam, and Bliss Steep Clean Cleanser. do you use anything better you'd like to recommend?

Peace

LT took this pic. haha. i'm embarrassingly drunk.

proof you had the best birthday of all effing time:

what's that?

oh, just a little chocolate cake inside my watch.

thk's parents give me a nice bday gift and what do i do? that's right, i coat it with chocolate cake.

my lower right backside is still tender as hell. :(

Dr. future-lilbro says it "sounds musculoskeletal meaning either muscle strain/bruise" after i texted him all my symptoms. His advice was to "get on your stretch grind"... it totally made me giggle because seriously, thk and dr.lilbro are so not gangster but they totally used to be gangster. they still think they are so gangster but how can that be?! they're just so awesomely wholesome and i can't imagine them rapping at the school talent show (in college!) wearing their sean john velour jumpsuits (HAHAHHAHA!) and writing/recording rap tapes in their homemade studio (a closet with foam taped on the walls to create better sound, HAHHAHA!).

during Dr.lilbro's christmas break visit, thk did something retarded (i forget what exactly but it could have been a plethora of things) and I looked at dr.lilbro and said, "dude. I can't believe I'm with this guy." and Dr.lilbro replied- "man, don't forget.. you're signing up for liiiiife."

he laughed. i didnt.

this past weekend, while we were making paper flowers, thk's dad and i started talking about food and expiration dates and if you know me at all, you know that i am anal about tossing things the DAY they expire. I don't care if it's not open, i'm not eating that crap. thk's family, though... sigh. when we first started dating, i asked for mayo for my sandwich at lunch time (thk told me to look for it in their cupboard...should have been the first clue) and found not only a dark yellow, half-used jar of mayo in the back of a cupboard, not refrigerated, but it had expired almost 4 months prior. ewww!

now, every time i go over to his house, i toss crap out of their fridge,  but only in secret because his family doesn't throw anything away, not even lunch meat that expired 12/07. ewwww! EWWWWW!!

so i'm saying something about eggs, how they expire, how you should throw them away after a couple of weeks, and thk's dad says to me- expiration dates were only created for the benefit of producers. food doesn't expire! they just put dates on them so you'll throw away perfectly good food and spend more money to replace it! Eggs don't expire! You can always eat them! Canned food doesn't ever expire, that's why they're in cans!

:T

thk nodded in agreement until i shot him the look.

signed up.

for life.

haha.. ha... heh... *sob*

can someone get me one of these!??

*updated to add:

i just got this email-

my stomach is SO HOT right now.  =(  i swear the girl gave me more than 12 wings.  if i got to sip a little bit of water, i totally would have won the challenge.  it was just so dry =(

anyhow, mike owes us half the dj cost and ryan owes me anytime we go out this week.  but i also almost died in the john this morning.  last night, after i took my contacts out, some of the oils must have got in my eyes because i couldn't stop crying.  not like sobbing, but tears just keep coming out because my eyeballs were so hot.

=(

HAHHA! ok, i'm sorry for laughing but how adorably cute. :)

-------------------------------------------

mike, ryan, and thk like to go eat buffalo wings together.

a lot. and often. lots and lots of them at once.

one place they frequent is Buffalo Wild Wings for their 25cent wings on Tuesdays or 25cent boneless wings on Thursdays. Normally, they eat a few wings, drink a few beers, and go home.

this evening, however, mike makes a deal with thk. Mike says he'll pay for our wedding DJ if thk can complete the "blazin' challenge"...

what is the blazin' challenge?

The website states:

Rules & Details

Below are the official rules, and not so official commentary, about the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin' Challenge.

1) Go to your nearest Buffalo Wild Wings.

2) Tell your server you want to take the Blazin' Challenge.

3) Shortly thereafter, 12 wings spun in our signature Blazin' sauce will arrive. (Close your eyes, lest they singe your retinas.)

4) When the server says, "Go!", you have 6 minutes to down all 12 wings. (No help from friends, family, or gremlins.)

5) You cannot use a dipping sauce or consume any other food during the challenge. (Not that it would help cool the heat radiating from the wings and the ticking clock.)

6) If you eat all 12 Blazin' wings in the allotted 6 minutes, you have earned the right to purchase a Blazin' Challenge t-shirt. Your picture will be placed on the Blazin' Challenge Wall. (If you don't succeed, you won't receive anything. Except maybe a wet nap.)

 

thk calls me and tells me of mike's generous offer. thk also tells me he has no plans to participate.

Honey! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW HOT THEY ARE?!

omeffinggod!! MAN UP!

We couldn't even finish the "fire" wings last time. I can't eat 12 "blazin" ones?!

MAN UP!

 

mike calls me an hour later.

jennny... your mans... he almost made it! he ate all 12 but in 6 minutes and 40 seconds!

shut up! he did?! omg, my poor poor honey.

yeah, i told him i would pay for half the dj.

seriously?! awesome, mike.

a few minutes later, thk calls me.

honey! *pant*pant* did mike *pant*pant* tell you? *pant*pant* i almost did it!

HAHAHHA. yes, babe. good job! your poor mouth! was it super super spicy?

and tongue. *pant*pant* and stomach! and butt, too, honey. *pant*

HAHAHHA!

and instead of *pant*pant* taking my photo for the Wall of Fame, they're gonna take my pic for the "Almost Wall of Fame" *pant*pant*

so... here's the story of how thk earned a credit towards our wedding DJ services- at the cost of his asshole. I can not WAIT!!! to tell this story to our kids :)
