This morning I had to go to the heart of downtown with my friend Jodie to get a physical and drug screening. The drug screening was a urinalysis… so I got myself ready for that. Nope, I didn’t drink any extra water. Instead, I just skipped my daily ritual morning piss. What a mistake. My bladder is the size of a golf ball, and traffic was the size of -insert big ass object here-
Fruittttssssss

3. 5 things that irritate me about the same/opposite sex… hmm
haha. These things don’t really tick me off that much, but it makes me cringe. D:
5. MOAR WEIRD THINGS I DO BY MAHSELF:
I have this super-excited mode where I will be inspired by random shit and then find post it notes to throw on my wall. Right now I have nine on my wall and one on my door.
Another weird thing. My downstairs living room is huge and the ceiling is two stories high.. and sometimes instead of using the stairs I find a tall wall connecting to another room on the second story and take several attempts to climb that wall to get upstairs. HARDCORE!@

7. Things I hate + like about how I look…
I hate my hairless-ness at times. It’s cold and no one takes me seriously :[ People say I smile a lot when I talk so people won’t really take me seriously at times, but I bet with a big ‘ol set of hair on my face, they wouldn’t think twice about taking me seriously!
Also I think of facial hair as an accessory, that would explain why you get mustaches for those fancy fun photo booth things.
-edit- oops something I like about myself. Uhhh.. .. NOTHING. -cries-
19. Longest relationship and with who?.. It’s my first one over two months. His name is… his name issss…. Baby.. at least that’s what I call him~ :3
24. I’d like to be anyone out of Houston. I hate houston.
now this sunburn is making me regret errthinggggggggg.
so-o asked: 5, 11, 24 !
5. Weird things i do alone:
Sometimes I like to lay down after a long day and imagine fun and happy things and chuckle to myself as I get excited. In a not-so-crazy way, I like it because I find out what I want to do in life :3
I also like to eat in my kitchen naked when I’m home alone. It helps with the digestion :3 (jk)
11. I would prefer to be stuck on a deserted island with someone I hate for 1 month. I think I’m good at shoving hateful thoughts aside to work with someone, so on a deserted island it shouldn’t be a problem :D Besides, I can make a new friend in order to survive. I think 10 years on a deserted island would kill me.
24. Anyone living in California or Canada because I miss good weather. :[

It’s easy to look at your life, the mess it can be, and tell yourself, “damn, this is one hell of a tragedy. I’m livin’ a drama here.”
I never get to that point though. Sure it’s great to imagine, and there’s always a path in my brain that goes down this road that ultimately ends in such a thought. Not so deep in the depths of my mind though, there’s a circuit breaker of a sort that always knows my knee-deep shit is the shallowest shit out there. Before I will even tell myself such a thing, I already know it’s not true. If it’s not physically killing me, it’s not worth pitying myself.
It’s good to know what I’m going through, but I don’t think I’m ever going to pity myself unless it’s death—a slow and agonizing death.
On a brighter note, I’ve decided to lifeguard again this summer… and my lifeguard instructor was on the Maury show 3 times. She was the one of the first to be sent to boot camp on there. She’s my favorite.
Look at what came in the maillll. :)))) (Taken with instagram)

It was BLISS.
I was a naughty blogger at the LA Vegan Beer Fest. I ate my way through it with reckless abandon, but barely documented any of it. I had a fully charged battery & well intentions, but I just didn’t make it happen. Apologies.
Truth is, sometimes I don’t want to be “that blogger person.” The one that lets my food get cold while I try to get that perfect shot, the one that tells everyone “hands off the food” until I get said perfect shot, the one that turns everything into a photo-op, the one that misses the party because she’s hiding behind the camera the entire time. So at the LAVBF I decided to kick back & enjoy the party. And it was a blast!
I had the pleasure of making the trek from SD to LA with the LOVELIKEBEER boys. In exchange for my driving they treated me to the food & I absolutely took advantage of that. First stop: The SEABIRDS Truck! I’ve been reading & drooling about Seabirds forever. So intrigued by the Jackfruit Tacos, & dying to try everything else they create. We ordered almost everything on the menu.
My faves:
- Spinach Artichoke Dip - spinach, artichoke hearts, white beans, panko, served with truck made corn chips. Yum! I’m a sucker for anything artichoke & a creamy dip is one of my favorite indulgences.
- Chipotle Jack Tacos - grilled jackfruit, chipotle sauce, pickled red onion, & mango salsa. I’ve never had “pulled pork,” but everyone who had said the texture is spot on. I don’t really know how I feel about that, but I do know that these were so tasty, & full of spicy flavor.
- Avocado Beer Battered Tacos - fried avocado, creamy jalapeño-cilantro sauce, red onion, & cabbage slaw. One word: heavenly. I could happy live inside that tortilla filled with that fried creamy goodness.
My friend Kevin, my guest blogger Andi’s husband, ordered up a bunch of yummy cupcakes from Life is Sweet Bake Shop, who offers their decedent desserts via Seabirds. He ordered one of each of the day’s special offerings:
Clearly by the look on his face above he is beyond excited, & with good reason - these cupcakes were to die for! After gorgefest part one, we settled our tummies a bit for round 2 & then hit up the Mandoline Grill Vietnamese Truck& shared the:
- Chocolate Stout Cupcake & Buttercream,
- Blue Moon Cupcake with Orange Buttercream
- Chocolate Stout Cupcake with Peanut Butter Buttercream.
- Tofu Bahn Mi - cucumber slices, pickled carrot & daikon, cilantro, jalapenos, vegenaise, & scallion oil.
- Vietnamese Nachos - cripsy tortilla chips with jalapeno, mint, cilantro scallion oil, & vegan Sriracha aioli.
The Bahn Mi was good, but for me tops the one from San Diego’s Miho Gastrotruck. I did, however, love the Vietnamese Nachos. Sriracha aioli, what’s not to love?!
I’d pretty much reached my limit before a friend of the group handed me the uneaten 1/2 of his hot hog from The Frankenstand, LA’s horror movie themed vegan hot dog cart. I have a (not so secret anymore) dream of having a vegan hot dog cart. I have a thing for veggie dogs. So when I started to research the idea, I came across The Frankenstand & was instantly intrigued by their quirky concept & simple menu. You order the frank of your choice & load it up with your preferred fixins. I’m not sure what frank my friend ordered, but it was so good that Andi & I decided to create & split our own. We ordered “The Franken” sausage with sun dried tomato & basil. Super, super yum & only confirms my desire to be a vegan hot dog cart entrepreneur.
As the day progressed, I managed to indulge in a stout & vegan chocolate ice cream float, french fries, more cupcakes, fried plantains, & the famous “Buffalo Style Cauliflower” from Mohawk Bend. Want more now please!
So that’s how one eats her way through a vegan food fest. And maybe next year I’ll arrange to stay the night in LA so I can actually enjoy the beer too! While pretty much everything that I stuffed in my face was amazing, I must say that my favorite of the day were the Avocado Tacos from Seabirds. Ridiculously delicious. This was the most fun I’d had in quite a while & wish this was happening every Saturday for the rest of my life!
I’m already counting the days until next year!
WTF? WHEN IS IT? I’m going to LA for vacation next year for sure!
