Ridiculous In The Very Best Way

So Sarah Morrison moved in last Thursday. I knew it was going to be a big change from me just chilling around, doing nothing, by myself, watching 15 hours of TV a day and binge eating tortilla chips, but I don't think I realized it was going to be this fun.

When she pulled up in the parking space next to mine, I ran out to greet her. We said our "hey's" and she proceeded to start throwing clothing out of her truck. Just the essentials, though: a jacket, a pair of boots, some bras...then she started talking to me. Her words were literally coming out of her mouth at the rate of 30 words per second, at least. That's when I knew this was going to be really awesome.

I grabbed the groceries, she grabbed the clothes, and we went inside. I gave her a tour and she caught me up with everything that had been going on in New York. Most people have probably seen Sarah's videos on Missbehave and whatnot, but I don't think many people know that she literally goes a mile a minute when she talks. She's bouncing around and gesturing and being totally animated. So Friday we basically hung around the house all day on the internet. (Thank gawd there's someone else who can basically survive on internet and TV!)

After watching the most ridiculous episodes of Tyra to date, we decided we were hungry. Somehow the Cheesecake Factory was designated as the place to eat. We Googled the address and were on our way. After some driving, we found ourselves in the middle of nowhere. There were DEER CROSSING signs. (Didn't know deer lived in SoCal, btw)

It turns out we weren't heading to the Cheesecake Factory, we were going to their CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS. Apparently Google thought it would be funny to take us there. And it did, twice. I said that we should write a review of this online.

"We should write that it's the worst restaurant we've ever eaten at!"

We finally made it though, but were completely stuffed after eating the fried macaroni & cheese balls (which were heaven, btw), so I got my calamari and my cheesecake and she got her salad and her cake to go, which meant we had to interface with our scarily peppy waitress a million times. Her laugh was this really awful forced one and she kept trying to relate with us by making jokes and being all "hey girl hey." But I can't really knock the hustle.

So here I am, at 2:15 am on Saturday/Sunday, still trying to get through this slice of cheesecake (which I totally changed Sarah's mind about. She doesn't think it's terrible anymore. Well not the choco chip cookie dough flavored kind anyway.) and listening to the Shangri-Las with the TV on MUTE while Sarah's somewhere in downtown LA working the door at some afterhours party.

I kinda have a feeling there's just going to be one crazy story after another over here now. Oh, and in case you still didn't know (are you sure you have the internet?) I'm on Tumblr 24/7 and Sarah (of Lolita fame) is too. The other Sarah (of Morrison fame) has her own blog, and it's awesomly funny and a perfect distraction for the work I should/n't be doing for my journalism class.

And, well, that's it.

Hello, Naomi!

Gawd, I love cupcakes. I mean, they're like a delicious combo of cake, doughnut, muffin, and icing! Plus they're adorable and come in all forms of Technicolor. And if you make a sign saying you're giving away free versions of them, people will show up for anything!

And there's no cupcake artist I like half as much as the uber amazing, super talented, and incredibly cooltastic Naomi Henderson. Student by day and baked goods artiste by night, she's the cutest little Aussie ever! Okay, except for Curtis Stone...and Kylie Minogue is Australian right? Or is she from NZ...not important.

What is important is how good Naomi is at cupcake decoration and baking. I've never seen anything like it! She makes the cupcakes by herself from scratch and then decorates them! She even did her own set for her 25th birthday. Here's an interview she did with Cupcakes Take The Cake and here are a few examples of her work after, you guessed it, the nonexistent jump!

Hello Naomi, hello awesome!

I Want A Muffin Top!

This just in: I do not want to work for Diddy. But I do want a muffin top. These things are delicious. They are literally like the tops of muffins, stuck together in clusters of four like mini-waffles. And they taste delicious. It's all too easy to eat about sixteen of them, but that's only like having two whole muffins right? Normal, right?

Now everyone talk about these ill-named breakfast snacks and then tell me your favorites!

Deuces,

Current Life Stats And A Burning Quesh

Ugh. Today I had five cavities filled. Then I fell asleep three times watching The Bad Seed with my bf. I woke up early enough to watch all three airings of Maury today. I made an attempt to pick out a really cute outfit to wear, but couldn't find a thing since I haven't washed my clothes for about 2 weeks. They prolly won't get washed till I run out of undies.

My pal Chris is celebrating his 21st birthday this Thursday! We're all supposed to do some crazy midnight bowling! I'm super excited. My bf and I are making him a cake as our present. Now I need some ideas for a fly cake. It has to be good since we're not bothering to buy Chris something cool like a new Halo game or speakers for his motorcycle.

All this talk about cake made me think about the coolest cakes I've ever seen. But any ideas are welcome! My bf's an amateur chef so he can make just about anything!

The Kid Sister cake. We all remember this one. I want a cake done up with my fingernails matching!

The Tom Selleck cake. I just realized it says "Hairy Birthday." Even though everyone believes the chest hair to be a million different things (like larva and worms), it's just choco sprinkles, k?

The Master Shake cake. Whoa. I luh Aqua Teen Hunger Force, so this cake was like heaven to look at, prolly amazing to eat.

The Mario cake. I love Mario (espesh the original version on Super Nintendo since that's all I have!) and I thought this one was adorable! If I was turning twelve next year, I would request this cake in a heartbeat.

So does anyone have any amazing ideas? For the people who have already turned 21, what kind of cake did you have/would you recommend? That's why I love The Disco! It's like a way less confusing and time consuming Ask Jeeves!!!!
