So my flight on Friday scared the shit out of me.  It was supposed to take off at 3:00pm.  I don't think we actually left till 4:15pm.  It was rainy and shitty out, thanks Philly weather.  So, the pilot says something like "We are running a bit behind, but we will take some shortcuts and do what we can to get to Phoenix on time!"  Hmm...shortcuts?  So lo and behold, we make it to Phoenix on time to catch our flight out to LAX.  On the ride to PHX, I watched a 2 hour Incubus concert on my ipod, listened to music, tried to sleep, played on photoshop, and was waaayyyyyyy too excited to be bored.


Hello Phoenix!


Hello LA!

After I get to LAX, I took a horrible shuttle that was so fucking unorganized, I was about to rip my hair out. 
treerootsex was on his way to pick me up from my hotel room and take me to a halloween party hosted by a couple of people that we play Warcraft with.  (To be specific, it's a guild called Unknown Entities from the Crushridge server of WoW.  I played with them for ...maybe a year and a half? or more?  It's a guild made of up a bunch of RL friends.)  So FINALLY, I meet up with Chris, and we stop to get gas and some soda's for the party.  I made him take a pic of me pumping gas.  I thought it would be funny -_-



So then we finally arrive at the Halloween party, probably 3 hours after it started lol.  Chris was pointing out people by their real names, and then by their Warcraft names hahaha.


Yes, these are a bunch of Level 70 Characters on the Crushridge server.


Crusis and Ritsuko (me lol) doing /flex.


Sappora and Ritsuko also doing /flex.


Cailin and Ritsuko doing /drink! (Yes, I made people do emotes with me for pics <3)


Miekee, Ritsuko, Crusis (lol it's way more fun typing out WoW names)


Geisha + Kenpachi + Tetris = ???


Mike <3


I stole Chris' Tier 9 priest helm. Go me!


Erynis and Ritsuko!


This would be me wearing Danny's (Shawnene/Laquonda) beer keg helm lol.  He was TRASHED.  I love how there is a random Shinigami Captain walking around ^_^ (Kenpachi)


Chris wanted me to wand him to death.  I like those Harry Potter glasses.


Marge Simpson and me <3  This chick is so god damn pretty omg.


I gave Danny a kiss as you can see hahaha.  And this is him inflicting dmg onto emo!Willee's balls :(


Willee!!! Don't do it!!!!


No, you do not want to mess with this hoe.

I ended up sleeping over, since my hotel was about 40 mins-an hour away, and Chris was like an hour from my hotel.  It was just too much.  So on Saturday, I finally did WORK related stuff!!!  Hahaha.  I actually flew out there to attend a yearly conference called ASTRO.  It's a conference for Radiation Oncology folks to get together to basically party.  They also have a ton of lectures and presentations, along with all the major companies in the world showing off new technology for the field.  My job was to scope out new "Prone belly boards" for our rectal/pelvic patients who need it.  So on Saturday, I headed to the convention center to register.  Then my homies picked me up, and then we drove around thinking of things to do.  We went to Costa Mesa, where I ate Cosi's!!!!!



---SIDE NOTE.  When I was a small Squaresoft-obsessed child, I noticed the USA building for Square was in Costa Mesa, CA.  I always wanted to go there just to hug the building.  Well the building isn't there anymore, and I'm like a decade too late, but hey, I was there.  And I ate at my favorite place in the universe there <3 I can check that off of my list of things to do before I die :D ----------------- END OF SIDE NOTE.


Drivin around :)

Then we went to a bowling alley that was wayyyy too crowded, and decided Dave and Busters was our next target.  We played B-ball, random games, and air hockey.  I was a crazy asshole while playing air hockey hahaha.....everytime I hit the puck really hard, it went FLYING across the whole damn place lololol.  I was PISSING myself.  Well, I got owned in a few games, but whatever!!!


Mike losing to me in b-ball.


Shaun's Blizzard bowling shirt! hahaha!




Chris' murloc shirt!

So then we decided to go to...ROSCOE'S in Long Beach.  OH MY GOD.  I will fly out there once a month just to go to this place.  It's a chicken and waffles place. <3  2 of my favorite foods!  The chicken just melted in your mouth.  And they had really cool drinks!  I had a Lisa's Delight, which was iced tea and lemonade.  Others had the OJ + lemonade or something, I forget, I was too busy eating and loving my food.


TRUE LOVE.


My food before I tore it apart.


Mike, Shaun and Danny all took shots of.....SYRUP. (LOL @ Shaun's wig)


The remainder of my waffles looked like Megaman to me.


no?


yum <3

Then, we went back to Lorance and Shaun's place to play some Wii Bleach and Tekken 5(?) where I dusted off my Yoshimitsu skillz.


Yeah, I'm gona have to buy this damn game.  Holy crap, too much fun.  I was Kenpachi most of the time...who of course kicks so much ass.  This is a pic of Hitsu's bankai.



Look what Lorance owns!  Him and Shaun were GMs for WoW at the Blizzard building that I assume is very close to where they live.

So Sunday, I did more work shit :/  Went to a bunch of Lectures, and then attended a SHIT-TASTIC party.  I should have stayed in my hotel room and raided.


Me bored in-between meetings.


Don't look too close lol.  This is a pic of an EYEBALL getting radioactive shit sewn into it.  I of course, had to photograph this. lol.


Pretty neat chandelier in this particular room.


The Varian party was next to this place, where I think they have award shows?


This is where the party was.  Pretty neat looking.  It's a shame it was ULTRA packed with drunken egotistical assholes.


SO I LEFT. hahaha.  Saw this on the way back to the shuttle going to my hotel.


These kids were srsly jamming.

I went back to my room after that, logged on WoW for a little bit and ran Ramparts and Blood Furnace for one of my favorite people who plays the damn game (Overmaster/Cyonis/Menahem).  I sadly fell asleep twice while playing...that was my queue to go to sleep and wake up for more....LECTURES.



Chillin by the pool in-between lectures.  God I love my shoes.


The nifty bag/badge. I am not from Glenolden lol, my co-worker is who I switched registration with.

I had a TWO hour lunch on Monday, so guess what I did??? went to a mall to have a fantabulous lunch!  And then go shopping -_-


O.M.G.  This was the best lunch I ever had in my life.  This is BBQ chicken bite thingies, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes.  Dear god.  My stomach was so happy.


I never thought I'd drop over 100$ on a purse, but what the hell, I'm in LA!


Little me and Big palm tree.

I skipped out on my last lecture, went back to my room, got changed and then headed for the 3rd street Promenade for food and shopping with Chris.  We later met up with Lorance and Mike.




Oh snap! :D


This was in the parking lot.


A really bad pic of the Santa Monica beach.


The shit I bought at Urban Outfitter :D


I got owned :)


Alliance shirt of course.


LOL.

So after lots of food and shopping, we all chilled out and sat around talking.  The weather was perfect -_-.  The guys were laughing at my accent.  Apparently I say the following words differently:  Orange, Oregon, Asshole, Horrible.  (Arr-enge, Ar-gin [hard G], Eass-hole, Harr-ible)


The goodies that Chris presented me with.  All DELICIOUS.


Tuesday I had to say byebye to my room :(


lol.


Bye LA :(

In conclusion, I have the best WoW friends ever.  I love LA...and newfoundgirlie5, bitch, you better get your suitcase out, cause we got shoppin to do on the west coast homie.  Screw the cons, let's shop and eat. :D

CHRIS - omg thank you for driving me everywhere.  That civic is HARDCORE.  And your hello kitty > everything.
