month one: this isnt about romance. this is about longevity.

domenica, marzo 28

http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=260947 yeah, i want harry potter glasses. this is obviously pre-hermione oculus reparo.

anyways, my house has been blessed by that priest who had been living with us for a week. cool. i was afraid i was going to burst into flames.

sabato, marzo 27

these pics are from my trip to lacma with kat. well, not our whole trip. it was the TINY ELEVATOR and the dementors.


these are the tiny elevators. we didnt see it until we noticed people staring at them


my shoe, to show how tiny the elevators were


kat about to press the elevator button


kat pressing the elevator button


the elevator opens!


kat and me!


haha, yeah


me and dementors

ok, ok, they arent really dementors...
yeah, so i wrote up a nice post. and yeah, my mother closed the window to look up news about figure skating. and yeah, i think she read a couple of my posts.

anyways i'll still post about my past few days.

wednesday: redline, doug, central liberry, 7-11, SUZETTE, JJ SEXIE, galleria, shaggin wagon, "we're all adults here", and nexus of the universe

thursday: dentist, 'beach', sbs, galleria, jj sexie again, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. word.

friday: church with the priest, stations of the cross with a priest, nap, lacma with kat, blueline, doug, grace's, pizza, "this half of the pizza was hunger, the other half is sheer will power", porkchops, family guy, 'IM LIEZEL!', walk.

today: i got up at 4. my dad was having a party. but i blame the food coma for not getting up. i eventually took my cousin cheryl out. we watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind again. it was just as good the second time. we saw doug. hehe

anyways, im here now. the end!

giovedì, marzo 25

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

yes, it caused zette, doug and me to ponder philosophically about our exes. very interesting.

mercoledì, marzo 24

oh and go here for the rest of the pics. my captions are pretty boring but i'm totally jet lagged.

yeah, pardon the poor grammar and spelling, im tired.
yes yes, you've all waited for this particular blog...

vanessa's tale of two cities.

it was the best of times, and it was the best of times. word.

so you all know that i headed east for the past 5 days. but unless i was calling you and toeing the line of a hundred plus phone bill, thats all you know. so i'll do this day by day.

so, my dad took me to the airport thursday night. dropped me off curbside. thanks dad, way to make your daughter feel loved. anyways, -after much security measures, i boarded and had a mediocre, limited english single serving friend to chicago-midway airport. i noticed the emergency landing things.


hindu cows

i had a lovely sunrise though.

lovely sunrise

so as i watched people run to thier gate friday morning, i calmly boarded my plane to dc.


running

after a two hour delay ( we're checking the hydraulics... we're refueling the plane ) i arrived in dc. and its cold. and danielle was no where to be found. after about an hour of looking like a loser whos sister totally forgot about her, danielle arrived in a puma jacket, a skirt and uggs. how east coast of her. i dropped my what not in her apartment and we decided to take on M street and she introduced me to my new friend h&m. after buying a lot of stuff, we headed for what i like to call, glorified over priced trader joes, a.k.a., dean & deluca, where we had sushi and the dessert below


'dessert'

i also met a grip of MA apiho folk. jp,danielle, dominick and i had dinner at tombs. and we did other things too


other things

other than jp, i met dominick and we chilled in the thomas jefferson classroom . yeah, thats a class room.


classroom??

we also drank odwalla juice over the esplanade (sp?) and swapped ghost stories regarding our respective schools. after being properly freaked out, we watched pseudo porn. you call that a catholic school, where you cant even buy condoms on campus but you can watch porn on your school cable? i like the hypocracy in that.

so saturday, i boarded a bus in dc's chinatown, and all of the sudden, four hours later, i was in new york's chinatown. the ride there was fun. i got all sorts of service on my phone, such as CINGULARWIRELE(sic) and AT&T. i arrived at 5pm and didnt get to my destination in ny (NYU) until 11pm.


CINGULARWIRELE

yes, i took the F train, missed my stop at 4th street, and ended up in queens. the bad part of queens. in the rand in the bad part of queens. the best part of it was that i didnt even know i was in queens. when yalie called and asked me where i was, i ended up asking a gas station attendant, my exact words...


the e train. thats what i was supposed to take

"excuse me, are we in manhattan or queens?"

oh jesus, i must have seemed like a tourist. my sister said i should have acted drunk so i wouldnt look like a dumb tourist. so, after a very very long time [and many calls to dougie fresh, (me,"im on the metro" doug,"whoa, it goes out there? what color?")], my hallmate yalie and her best friend anya who goes to NYU, found me on the moving walk way at the subway station for 23rd and Ely... in queens.

we took on a cafe near washington square. the people were really cool and the tiramisu was... like, wow. good. you can refer to my 3/22 post for the rest of new york, or you can call 868-4039 and you can hear me rant about how cool new york was.

here are a couple of pics though...


on the 6, j. lo's train!


the met, the brotha mustve been HUGE


penis


an eye
monday morning, yalie and i headed back to dc. yalie's never been east. whats been the delay?! he passed by the white house and all those fun monuments and we parted ways. i promptly fell asleep and was awaken by danielle. we decided to eat at this swanky thai restaurant. very nice. zagat rated and everything.


my tom goong yum soup

i woke up the next morning (yesterday morning) and walked to h&m and bought more stuff. walked back, and saw cool license plates. i got back to danielles apartment and packed. jp and dominick stopped by and slowed my packing process down. seeing that my flight was at 7 and it was 5:45 and i was starved, they ushered me to the coffee shop danielle works at and i got a BLUE blueberry bagel. like.. really blue


taxation without representation


i boarded my plane pretty late, but it was no problem. its ATA. its pretty low security... maybe thats a bad thing. anyways, i had a rad single serving friend from dc to midway, he caught the irony that i was reading fight club.

the end of my journey included in 'n' out. its good to be back home. but heres dc, a parting shot.


parting shot

also: when i got picked up, i learned that a priest is living with my family for few days. he's my dad's highschool friend. he's living in my sister's room. weiird. someone save me.
i am home fuck dammit, and glad to be. but i kinda miss the east coast. eh, that feeling will pass.

im uploading pics as i type. i'll post my favorites up here with my oh so silly comments.

lunedì, marzo 22

SO. im back in dc. what a ride back.
yeah, you all think im weird. im in newyork and im blog hopping. i came across i this blog. when i have kids. they're going to have blogs when they're 4 too. or 5. you wont get that until you read the blog.

best line from the blog... "oh, and for those of you non-Tagalog speakers, ate translates into English as "big sister," while the word kuya means a guy you would never date." word.

anyways, i need sleep. good night, cruel beautiful world!
crazy cool new york cafes = cooool
crazy new york restaurants for breakfast = coool
crazy new york hipsters = ... uh huh
is this soho? no ho? theres such thing as noho??
h&m, again
the met = whoa
park ave. = live it, love it, be it. riiight

sabato, marzo 20

to nyc: why is it that whenever people get lost, like myself... they end up in QUEENS?? i will elaborate on all of these things when i return to the west coast... but in the mean time...

yes, i got lost. and now, i know the E new york subway like the back of my hand. haha. just kidding. and now, for some falafels!
hey guys, im still alive!

mercoledì, marzo 17

here is my college basketball bracket.

w00t.
happy pi day!
i spent my weekend studying. i spent that past 10 seconds lying.

my weekend isnt over but it consisted of a pseudo long beach friday. muahaha. i rule

doug and i got bored in the student union so we invented the following. chair jousting. not for the faint of heart or the poor in sense of ridiculous humor.

at first the jousting was pretty safe... [and in black and white for a rad feel]


then it got dangerous...



then... it became a head on collision.



see that lady in the background? we must have pissed her off bad.

anyways, danielle is back in dc. i have finals on tuesday. i am screwed. yay!

giovedì, marzo 11


::screams::

go here

thats some fucked up shit there.
feeling overly eclectic today.

thought 1) i thought of erin in-vitro today. why? well...


yay, for phallic glowng structures!

thought 2) today, danielle and i talked about... boarding schools. well actually, we started with new york private prep schools. damn. thats some crazy stuff. anyways. we moved on to crazy east coast boarding schools and danielle mocked me for not knowing what andover was. please, i go to riverside. i doubt that anyone from there wants to come out here. anyways, i think that nuts. i dont know what i would do if i had the opportunity to go to boarding school. shiit, that'd be like going to hogwarts. i mean, minus the magic and what not. hmm, interesting

thought 3) as a watched television [conan to be exact] i saw a preview for dawn of the dead. line from the commercial:

- is everyone dead?
- dead ish

yes, if i were the writer for movies, those would be the types of lines that i would write.

thought 4) people who dont have class tomorrow should learn how to drive. you know who you are. ::looks in a general westward direction::

thought 5) i saw these folks, the stars, at the coffee house today on campus. they were pretty rad. they asked all the obvious joke questions to the audience, like "wheres the river" har har. apparently, they usually perform drunk and the usually perform when the crowd is drunk. it was a sobering yet fun experience. they reminded me of the mates of state. sort of. performance wise. i mean if that husband and wife team added a bassist.

thought 6) finals? meh.

thought 7) sleep? meh.

thought 8) im going for a walk as soon as i get home.

thought 9) a drive too.

thought 10) good night!

statistic about my blog:

apparently, after changing my blogskin to that really plain skin, my visitor rate plummeted! pish.



what is that? you come here for visual stimulation? not for my titillating content? ok, perhaps the fact that i havent posted anything of content in a while gives you an excuse...

also, if you search on the following search engines and type in the following words, you'll get this blog as a result.

Google - erin eden
Google - junette sheen
Google - arbutol
Google - chili stain
Google - got-into-uc-riverside
Google - site:blogspot.com pantsed class
Google - gothika soundtrack songlist
MSN - practically free prom dress
Yahoo ! - if i dont come back, avenge my death
Yahoo ! - free download pucking sex movie

fun fact. if you google "got-into-uc-riverside" you get my blog. on top of that, you get my sisters old blog. how funny, isnt it, danielle?
i think its funny when i forget the password to my blog.

lunedì, marzo 8

i need to blog about my weekend but i have not the time.

but in a sentence, danielle came home and we stayed up way too late, we went to for walks, i went for walks, hooters, crepes, tina's debut, walk, leon the professional, hk, walking up western, walking back down western, people watching, scattergories, walking the dogs and now im back here where i started.

i need to new skin. erin! you wanna teach me how to make layouts?

sabato, marzo 6

heh. YEAH. tempermental blog skins make me tempermental. so. here. a plain skin. i like it a lot. although i dont know where to put the tagboard. meh.

venerdì, marzo 5

i dont know what this is. this probably looks like crap on a mac. if so, alert me so i can change it.

so, tonight, danielle and i watched a whole season of celebrity mole. yeah, we're nuts. we also ended up listening to led zepplin, air and air supply on her ipod. word.

yeah... this is... gray. very lady bug-esque.

yeah, so i was on my way to the airport with my dad and along the 405, i saw a billboard for walking tall you know, that rock movie? yeah... the poster shows the rock and a big piece of wood. as shown to the left.



remember that vin diesel movie? a man apart? yeah, you forgot about it? here, let me refresh your memory. the poster is to the left. hmm. that looks suspciously similar.



anyways, my dad picked me up last night. i came down with my comp, my books, my purse and my laundry. i walked into the civic and said "thanks for helping dad"

so around 11, my dad and i headed for LAX to pick up my sister. as my sister was stuffing her luggage in the back, she said under her breath, "thanks for helping dad"

anyways. danielle didnt bring much home. you know what that means.

we're going shopping. w00t.

mercoledì, marzo 3

seth cohen = man of my dreams.

i just watched the opening minutes of the oc (cue doug cringing) and he just talked freeways... 91 to the 71....

::melts::

anyways, my room is clean. both sides. i know, its unbelieveable.

i register for classes on monday, the last posible day. royally screwed i am. i dont know what to take. suggestions? they're all welcome.

dried mangoes = the new diablo incarnado.

mastercard commercial... new worn in jeans. new vinatge shirt. heehee. i love that oxymoron

lunedì, marzo 1

its time for vanessa's monday morning mindless babble.

has anyone noticed how effortless hilary duff look in the that come clean video? it look like shes not breathing. this furthers my theory that duff is a robot sent from the future.

also, here is becks birthday cake:

hey beck, a round cake isnt supposed to have a middle!

i have a midterm in english tomorrow. do i fear it? no.

danielle returns home [again] on thursday. we're going to be going on our 30 dollar moisturizer, dvd binge, random drives when driving stick adventures. yay.

anyways, its march now. and the supermarket strike is over. my nacho is no longer. do not worry. this is a good thing.
