OK, I've been gone. I didn't know I was sooo gone since SEPTEMBER!!!

Ok, fan club, my loyal readers, the readers who yell at me for not having blogged recently! I'm flattered! So flattered! But the entry below, really inspired me to get back into the blogging spirit since it was such a Weird situation. Anyways, plenty has happened since my last EUROPA post. The biggest highlights have been going to Arizona to celebrate dual bdays - mine and Eirck's. It was incredibly fun with 2 of my greatest friends flying in with Pat and I to go see Kat, Danny, b-day boy Erick and their homegrown entourage in Scottsdale!

I don't celebrate in big ways very often since my idea of fun is rounding up some close friends to grab good grub, drink a bit, eat lots, share embarassing stories and laugh hysterically til the cows come home. I'm not a big fan of going to $100 NYE parties, waiting in line, waiting in the cold, waitint to get in, spending too much money on alcohol I barely drink(by choice and by consumption capability), and watching a bunch of fools puke their brains out. rollin deep is sizes of more than 10 - especially in groups of 30 or more, etc. Show me a mellow club, bring my groupies and doode, we'll have the best time of our lives!

Arizona was a lil Yellow Fever party. 7 Chens + a Lam + a Abellera + a Beng! = 11 asians in all with a ton of other white friends (danny's). We all celebrated much of the weekend together and it was crazy. Lobstahs, scotch, bourbon, garlic knots drunk Nick consumed and totally forgot eating (he ate all of them before they got home), soapdropping in the bathtub, drunken lap dances by Erick for me, lotsa Bloody Mary's, NO Carding Azn's Nite @ Crowne Room *dannny is good friends with the bouncer* [FYI.. i went to az to celebrate a bday, and stupid me forgets her DRIVER LICENSE at home in LA], had to play pass the Driver License at a bar, spa treatments, homemade guacamole and brie/grape quesadillas...and lotsa griling. Overalll, a great way to spend a bday.

All you important people have seen all the pics so I won't show yall again.. if you haven't seen them yet, hollar at me and I'll send you the ofoto link. The other tripmates have them all posted on their blogs anyways!

Do You Stop Traffic Like I Do?

Today I was @ The Grove with Pat at Anthropologie.....we were by the door cuz Pat was talkin to her ex-manager and i finally met the ex-manager and the three of us were engaged in a deep lighthearted discussion about where all of us are originally from. As we're talking, this black dude (dressed pretty professionally, i.e. non-ghetto..actually had an ironed button-down and slacks, shaved head, late 20s early 30s, still not my type though, sorry) came over and said..
UscJessC: "sorry to interrupt your discussion but i just had to come over and talk to you ladies because you (points to me)...whew.. im so nervous just talking...you could stop traffic....i'd really like to give you my card, and if you'd like, please give me a call Skesser: what?!?!?!
Skesser: NO WAY
UscJessC: yeah
UscJessC: he wasnt my kinda cute or anything
Skesser: what an ego boostUscJessC: but dooode.. hahah..UscJessC: totallySkesser: that's rad
UscJessC: i felt like a million bucks
UscJessC: i wouldnt date him
UscJessC: but it was nice..
UscJessC: the manager went over and told another customer this story about me stopping traffic
UscJessC: hahha
Skesser: hahaha- what a great feeling!
UscJessC: it was weird
UscJessC: and i must say.. his aprroach about leaving his card totally saves him from rejection
Skesser: ya- totally
Skesser: ha! i can't believe he interrupted the convo!
Skesser: the black men loooove the jess

conclusion: i wont be calling, but if you're a doode, that's the approach you should go for.. DROP THE CARD....that way the girl can't reject you..she only has to take the card. If she calls, SCORE! ...if she doesn't... the card prolly got stuck in the the laundry and melted away in her pocket. Either way, it doesn't hurt to drop the "you could stop traffic" line..........GENUINELY, jack@$$e$!
