So this series of “Today I am…(this one is obviously yesterday because it’s past tense…lol) was inspired by my good friend Terri with her “Today I wore…” series as part of her daily accounts of fashion stylings. I think that this is just going to be a fun way for me to start an entry and have some type of hook that kinda bridges all these thoughts, blogs, entries, etc. together. Plus, I think it’s a regression back to that little kid that I was that wanted to be everything. Definitely a modern day version for me to experience my imagination and how life can really be a good vehicle for that.
So yesterday I was..Japanese.
Before I go into that, I need to preface these entries with a lot of other tidbits. I have been watching a lot of How I Met Your Mother and these stories are a little reminiscent of all the fun and shenanigans my friends and I seem to get into. I was thinking, why not document this and one day look back (without the same feeling of disgust of looking at my pre teen angsted xanga) and laugh at all these stories. Because when you think about it…aren’t we all living these TV shows we all know and love in some way or another.
Anyways.
Let’s begin this story…So ever since Terri and Mary moved to Union City, hang outs with them in the City are not as frequent as desired. So with them coming to the City, it called for an occasion. Hungry, food adventures were definitely in store and the target type…JAPANESE. Target acquired…Sushi Raw…and target…total fail. CLOSED. So off to Japantown.
And of course…google maps took us all the way down Mission, but to our benefit allowed us to experience the wonderful lyrical stylings of Nicki Minaj. ”Shitted On Em” for the win. Isn’t it funny how certain songs and lyrics really just trigger memories? They inherently just become part of this soundtrack of your life. Like, you play these songs over and over again, like it’s an inside joke…Wait, it does become an inside joke. Until you’re super tired of it and on to the next one. And once you hear it again, the memories and nostalgia comes back.
Well, ate at Japantown. Dessert at Genki’s…or how we like to say JANKY’s. Then off to Ster’s for Pretty Little Liars. ”Got a secret, got a keep it…” Annoying theme song but quite catchy to say the least. Surprisingly was able to follow the story line with the help of Mary. It’s pretty much a young desperate housewives meets gossip girl. Shout out to Lucy Hale from American Juniors. Haha.
Then a kick it at 11k with Nella, Ryan, and Jar, which entailed alcoholic beverages (a drunk hot mess ryan), this drawing guessing game, Seniores, and Craigslist Killer. WOmps for the movie at the end. Not that great.
All in all, a wonderful night with wonderful friends. Feels like the old days and hope that these days become a little bit more frequent for my sake
.
Until next time.
