...SO that was the calm before the storm...

Yeah, so as the family Christmas went really well and quiet, wow. our friend's christmas went really well :D awesome. I guess I should start at the very beginning.

After Christmas I think I unofficially lived at Chrissy's house. I have been there everyday since Christmas. On that Sunday Dec. 26th, I went over to use some of her thread to finish off some of the ribbon fish for my friends :) and then just hung out. woah. the polyphonic spree...us at 11pm and Chrissy on cold medicine makes for one really...really interesting night....yeaaaaah...'nuff said about that one :)

December 27th Tiff and Janice had come back from Las Vegas and so we [Chrissy, Me, Tiffany and Janice] went shopping to finish off the rest of Chrismtas shopping. We went mainly to get Maria's gift, ooh that spa was all nice and in a fancy area, you had to like press a number code to get in and everything thing, it felt so "upper class" LoL :D We went shopping...for like ever, I found Janice pt. 2 gift and some soap on sale for me.
Gah it was pouring cats and dogs out there, so we had our umbrellas and braved the weather :D Tiffany got kinda tired after we got back so then I had my car at Chrissy's house anyways, Tiffany dropped us all off there. We had some..."fun" ;) at chrissy's house :D and some awesome chicken rice :D more polyphonic spree oi. oy to the vey.

December 28th Tuesday: Kinda chilled at home, cleaned some stuff up, it had been a couple of days since I had been home for a while, but yeah, basically chilled. Andy and Gina asked if we wanted to go to dinner, so that night Jamie and I went to this Coryian (Korean...spelled just...weird) Hot Pot place...it was all right, I came back smelling like fried food though...no really not bueno.

December 29th WEDNESDAY!!!!/December 30th TODAY: wow.
Okay so got up at 9 something, showered and stuff, got ready to go to Chrissy's at 10 I was running kind of late, but I eventually got there :D Me and my massive bag of presents. None of the guys except for Benny decided to show due to the "early" [11am] time call for the movie or other priorities...We waited for Maria initially, but she woke up late and decided not to go also, but I drove Janice, Chrissy and Elisa to Union City where we met up with Tiffany and Benny to go see Ocean's 12. It was pretty good, I'm not sure if I'd totally see it again, but it was good :)

After the movie we went to Pasta Pomodoro, I had some great ravioli :D service was kinda slow, but it usually is...the food was good though. :) we saw some friends too. After that we decided to go back to Elisa's house to pick some stuff up she forgot and the we went to pick up Justin at his apartment and then headed back to Chrissy's house where Tiffany, Benny, Kyle and Charlie had already met. We hung around a while for Maria...no one could get a hold of her for a while...and two hours later the Sexy arrives :D with her great beautiful haircut! :D This was at about 6pm and then we all rushed out to Castro Valley to go to bowling, :D I did alright, the girls took a bit longer seeing as how there were six of us so the guys played two games while we only played one I got a 97 I was quite satisfied with my score LoL I got a strike on my first try WHOOT :D

After bowling at like 8:15 or so, we went to Oakland for "SFO Pizza [formally UNO'S]" Gah there was MAD NASTY weather!! it was crazy and kinda scary, I didn't bring my rain jacket, I didn't think we'd be out too much ...but I was wrong, we were out enough..it was windy like mad too though so I'm not sure how much good an umbrella would have done anyhow.

After that we went back to Chrissy's house to open presents. WOW there were tons. It was awesome we decided to do it in "birthday style" where we passed out all of the presents and then we waited for each person to unwrap all of their gifts before going on to the next person. Much more orderly than having everyone ripping into the gifts at the same time. :D I got to go first :) Among my stuff I got a mug that says "<3 u mom" with a picture of my senior portrate on it! oi. from the buffness ....le sigh LoL I did have quite the laugh [as did my mom after I showed it to her too], I got a Kosher Bone from chrissy (which I also happen to see the same day that we all went to San Francisco after we split to do some shopping...LoL and I bought for janice), A STUFFED LLAMA!, a very pretty dolphin statuette :D, a transformers t-shirt (insert frown here :( LoL ) and chocolate's from benny. OOh also a clapper from Charlie I really want to see if it works LoL that'd be great if it did.

So we went around everybody :D (we started at like 9:30ish pm) and ended about 11pm which Elisa had to leave and go home :( The rest were very interested in mostly Benny's toys :D and video games that Phillip and Justin had brought to her house. After we wrangeled up everyone again, we decided to have our Cranium game, traditionally boys against girls. While the boys put up a very valiant effort and were ahead of the girls for quite a while, the girls did continue our winning streak and came out on top :D The wager was that the whoever lost would make breakfast for everyone. :) That was quite a long game and we ended around 1:30 something in the morning. Then Charlie and Kyle got these riddle/puzzle books from tiffany (i think) and then everyone got into solving these types of riddles wow we were stuck on that for quite a while...Slowly people started dozing off and splitting off, the guys kinda went to play the PS2 games, by 3am tiffany was sleeping, Chrissy was chatting on the computer and Justin and Janice were talking to each other so Maria and I went over to visit the rest of the guys and see what they were doing.

Maria was tired, but didn't wanna be by herself so she slept in the family room while they were playing video games. I was like UBER wired and so I kept on watching them play this X-Men game...it was like a "King of the Hill" type of game and whoever got this glowy thing and held on to it the longest without being killed by the others trying to take it would win. Kyle kicked butt at that game LoL Benny had a slow start but got real good also. Then they started playing Def Jam...something or another, it's a fighting game and stuff, I was kinda bored so I decided I wanted to try also (it seemed like a button mashing game, you just kinda hit random buttons and kick other people's butts LoL) I was doing alright I played Xzibit :D I beat Benny, Kyle and Charlie, Phillip beat me and so did Justin, but I was still happy LoL. Justin and Janice poked their heads in every once in a while...I eventually saw the time and then boom it had suddenly become like 5:45am...time goes by really fast. and then we had more fun playing the games, and no one else was going to sleep...as long as there was stuff to do (i.e. video games) I would be up....and then we just kept on playing and I watched the others play and stuff...then it was like 7:00AM...(we agreed the night before that the guy's breakfast has to be ready by 10:00am...and they still had to go and buy some stuff)...so that means they would have to start getting ready in a couple hours anyways.

A couple of guys started to fall out by 6:30AM but I hate waking up, so I just decided not to go to sleep, I watched some tv, there was always someone to talk to whether it was Justin or Janice or Phillip....and then around 8:30AM ish People started waking up more and more.....It was so bizarre, I have never stayed up 24 hours straight like that before. I'm glad i've never had to do it for school or anything, this was definitely a fun cause :D LoL The closest thing was probably grad trip, but even then, I slept on the bus down to Disneyland.

Tiffany, Chrissy, Charlie and Benny(I think) went out to go get the breakfast supplies and then came back and the guys cooked and awesome breakfast (with some slight super vision) but it was very tasty and a lot of hard work went into it. :D I played a lot of video games for a while, I watched them play San Andreas...(horrid game. oi) ...and then they put in Chrissy's Tekkin Tag :D Which me and Benny did pretty well at against Kyle :D ....the day was really slow I think cause not many people got much sleep the night before LoL we mostly hung around and did nothing...LoL a lot of "we should do something..." but nothing actually came up, we played another game of cranium, it wasn't boys against girls or anything big, just for fun. Then Tiff and benny had to go, Justin and Janice left before that and then Phillip left around the same time as tiffany and benny. Maria, Charlie, Kyle and I were left at Chrissy's house, Maria and Charlie played DDR, it was Maria's first time, she was really good, I was/am starting to get pooped. lackage of sleep...definitely kicking in. LoL

All in all weather could have been better, but it was definitely a fun weekend. (ironic since the sleep-over didn't really consist of much sleep) the girls were ment to sleep in Lee's cleared out room, most of us never set foot in there for more than five minutes LoL.

Gah Things are getting fuzzy I've had a busy week...and lackage of sleep recently, so this may be incoherent and have typos..but i'm trying...at this point I haven't sleep in 36 hours....i really do hate waking up LoL so when i sleep i do it for a loooooong time and when i stay up i stay up for a loooooooong time...i doubt this will be something i'll be doing anytime soon LoL
