Ok apparently I gotta write about stuff the day after they happen because I sat down to write this and I feel like I'm forgetting events already that I wanted to share. Nonetheless I shall share what I remember!
I will start off with one of my favorite topics: Super Adventure Club.
I'm sure I've written about them before. I'm definitely one of their most loyal fans (I'm a very loyal person. Once I like you or like your work, I will show up to as many shows as I can (which is the majority of shows) and I will talk about how fantastic you/your work is and take pictures and videos of it and I'm sure generally annoy some people)
I even have a tattoo inspired (and partially paid for by them!) by them. It's the word UNTZ across my upper thigh and it's the name of their first album and one of my favorite songs. You're like uh say wha? untz? Yes untz. Say it out loud and multiple times like a dance beat. I'm sure you'll get it.
I've been a fan of SAC (SAC = super adventure club) for about 4 years now. They are 2 super friendly and hilariously and beyond witty guys who like to make awesome hysterical danceable songs. Find them on facebook. Download the songs on itunes. Your life will change.
So they had a show this friday at cafe du nord in SF and I went. OMG cuh-raaaazy good times! Now there's always some people who dance (myself included) and the rest of the crowd stands by with a bemused smile on their faces. This time? Everybody was dancing up a storm! it was crazy and fun.
There was this super sweet and cute (hey I'm being objective here, not lesbo. she was seriously cute) lady next to me and we ended up dancing together like bff's would. She was so sweet! We had such a good time together. I like it when that happens, when 2 random people can meet, have the funnest time and leave with a smile on their face.
Now for my ode to Cafe du Nord. THANK YOU FOR HAVING CLEAN BATHROOMS AND MORE THAN ONE STALL! Yes the caps were necessary. I do feel that strongly about it. They have amazing bathrooms with more than enough toilet paper (as someone who practically eats the stuff, I will forever love you if you have extra t.p. around) and shockingly unlike so many places in SF, they have more than one stall! MAJOR sigh of relief by me the toilet queen (hello bladder issues) so I can pee in peace without worrying about them other girls banging down my stall door.
Now onto creme brulee
I'm on twitter and I follow this food cart in SF on twitter known as the creme brulee cart (you can follow him too at cremebruleecart) and for 2 years I've been reading his tweets and knowing where he was but it's like it just wasn't time for me to try some jus yet cuz even if I was in the area I would completely forget about him
So this last weekend (before this one) I remembered! and found him! and had some! and loved it! my only critisism is that I was expecting the creme brulee to be warmer (perhaps I'm wrong in this thought....) as it was cold. but delecious nonetheless! I had nutella with balsamic strawberry.
I was expecting the guy to be a bit more outgoing (expectations. what a funny thing) I mean he has a food cart and he runs around SF selling them you know? You'd think he'd be a super charismatic guy. But no, he's just a calm chill reserved guy (who's good looking!) selling his goodies. I appreciate that.
I also went to forageSF underground maket. It's supposed to be like a farmer's market but just for the secret society of the forageSF crew. which apparently was all of SF! when I went in, talk about overwhelming!! sooooo many people!
I'll be honest, it wasn't that great. I'll be honest again; I didn't sample everything (didn't have the money to try it all) but it was that feeling of some people cooked up some pretty good food in their kitchen and brought it to the event. There was nothing that set it apart or made you remember it and went wow man! but like I said, I didn't try everything....
I think that's it folks. til next time!

I was thinking Overthinking
This blog post is inspired by a recent event that happened on facebook and I recalled that has happened to me before several times and other people and remind me why I generally refrain nowadays even though nothing was harmed
An acquaintance of mine on facebook used to be a dancer and went to college to study some obscure field in the ballet world (that frankly I feel doesn't exist anymore its so obsolete but that's personal opinion. I don't mean it as a bad thing)
He had posted something about his feelings as ballet is dying because of certain causes (basically bad choreographers)
I posted I agree however it's because I feel that these choreographers are trying to stay so tightly within the spectrum instead of redefining it such as balanchine did. So it ends up quite boring and almost horrendous because random movements will be oddly manipulated just because they felt it to be advant garde when in actuality it has nothing to do with nothing.
I posted that I felt it's because ballet is being gripped so tightly that it dies instead of being pushed forward.
and in response I get a paragraph that sounds like a thesis argument instead of 2 people just discussing their opinions.
I don't knock education, however I'm tired of all these people who post these things and I'll have an opinion and I contribute (nicely I swear!) in order to generate thought/discussion or just because I feel I have something to add. But then instead of a normal people response like yeah true but or no I think it's this it's responded by a paragrapgh explaining what you meant and how the whole system is failing and nobody can get it right and these other people are technically in this realm so they don't really contribute and yada yada and it's just gaaah. very sucky and sucking
You get what I mean?

Hello darkness old friend
Hi all!
Nooo I didn't forget about you. I just felt soo uninspired and lazy to keep updated even though things were going on. I get more inspired by reading the blogs I follow then writing in this one. Plus it's kind of a bummer because nobody really reads this, which I'm sure it's because I don't put serious time and effort into it. I'm not that delusional haha.
There's some info I'd love to share about a recent photography show I went to and the events/thought/feelings that transpired (ohh so personally juicy) however I'm afraid the person may see it on here. Let's just say it was very typical girl mind drama haha that plays subtle games but then ends up just being happy to see the person and genuinely wants to be friends with the person and was honestly bummed that she wasn't invited and had to pull an internet stalker move to find out about the event. (OY!) and this girl walked 4-6 blocks in heels! the things we do
ok moving on to something more coherent...
Things are quiet here. I keep feeling put on hold. and it's a bit of bummer! I wanna start dreaming and planning to move to SF but now I have a big serious consultation with UCSF for my bladder issues in july. And I was hoping to move during the summer...granted there's still time and God can open doors like crazy but it's just like come onnnn already! I keep trying to find my niche. I do love kids but I'm feeling a pull to just work from home, work on my own. Maybe it's just a self-preservation thing because it's less stressful to me than working with kids (it's stressful knowing you'll be in the bathroom for more than 5mins and the kid is out alone. granted some you can just lock in their room/crib and some are just old enough to be left alone for a bit. But still!)
I really honestly don't know. Still. So the journey continues. It doesn't bug me and yet it does. I hate too many choices. You give me a couple, I'll pick one and I'll go at it with all I've got. God brought me here because He knows that so He's testing my dependency and trust on Him.
I'm so thankful for my amazing kind sweet hilarious friends.
Just had to say that. They understand my issues and just go with me. We go places or just stay home. I may not have a lot of friends but the ones I do have; pure GOLD man.
Hm I don't wanna end here but I need to sort out my thoughts/stories some more so I can write about them.
I plan to be writing more this week...
