Rain can't stop me...

So my windows have been spattered with droplets of rain for two days, and it came down hard last night. The rain always makes me feel lazy and all I want to do is cuddle up and sleep. But I decided to not let the weather rain on my parade.

Kristen and I got out of the house, which was filled with the jaded emotions, and went to dinner. Dinner at a precious little Italian place in West Portal. OMG Gnocchi is the most delicious thing in the world. The little dumplings were cooked perfectly and the tomato sauce was so good. I could have eaten five plates of it, but of course I was so full by the end of the plate that I was completely uncomfortable.

But regardless of how full I was, dinner and the wonderful company made me forget about the lame rain outside. So I guess that it is important to be bold and get your self out of the house regardless of the weather.

Then the fire place at the Shannon Arms kept me warm as I sipped yet again on Gin and Tonics. Laughing about the loud Irish men and the bad music that the girls were playing.

So what could have been a night of sleeping around my house turned into a fun night out with my roommate and another drunk night at the Shannon...

I LOVE THIS CITY!!!

Back in the City by the Bay

Home was nice for a while, but my tiny hometown seems to have shrunk since I was there last. I have welcomed the sound of MUNI at all hours of the night, and the constant fog of my beautiful city. Thus far, 2010 has been great, I am have been running around SF for the past few days getting back in the swing of things and truly enjoying myself. One thing that I forgot about is the scumbags that live in good old San Francisco.Friday night, I was hit on by a 30 year old creepy lawyer in a hookah bar, and he refused to back off, and then a man in the Shannon Arms (which I missed dearly over the break) tried to get me to go home with him, and this guys had like 10 piercings... in his face. I get all the winners.

Gin and Tonics did me in last night. I stopped counting after 8 but I cant even check how many I had through my wallet because Mr. Bartender, Emmett, comped a few. And then, of course, it was on to Seniore's which has become it's own food group in my diet... I didn't even like pizza before that place, but no night at the Shannon Arms is complete without a trip to Seniore's.

I have been really good about making my bed everyday and keeping the apartment clean, but with one of the two other roommates being here, I know things will get messy. So tonight Kristen and I are gonna go to Union Street, which is my FAVORITE area in San Francisco and we are gonna go to my FAVORITE restaurant Betel Nut... sooo good... and then probably to the Shannon... every night.

I am gonna go get ready but I will post soon

A New Brunette for 2010

Happy New Years!! I can't believe that 2009 is gone... I seriously was freaking out a little bit when I realized that I am about to be 20. But a few days have passed and I am a bit calmer now. Thank God.

So what is in store this year for me? Well I have given up a vice, 3 days strong. I plan on making my apartment a grown up apartment. It needs to stay neat and tidy and I want to make my bed everyday. I also want to visit a new piece of San Francisco every week. I figure, I love the city so much, but there is still so much I haven't seen. Hopefully 2010 will be a year of travel for me, I am dying to get out of this country for a little while.

Last year, 2009, was a year for me to mend my broken heart and work on myself. I managed to do both. I spent the first half of the year tellng myself that everything was going to be okay, and the last half of the year telling myself that I wasted the first half of the year. I refuse to feel that way about 2010. I am so looking forward to everything that this new year has to offer, and I plan on taking it all in.

Goals for 2010
1. Acknowledge that I am happy every single day.
2. Read more... I miss reading for pleasure.
3. Stay focused in school.
4. Visit a new piece of San Francisco every week.
5. Do things that scare me.
6. Spend time out side of the US.
7. Write more... I miss writing for pleasure.
8. Burn more incense... They help me feel at peace with myself.
9. Keep my apartment clean.
10. Fall in love... (This one has to be on every single girl's goal list)

So that is hopefully a quick overview of what 2010 has to offer this Brunette. I can't wait, I am looking forward to every second of it... but for now I need to go make good on number 9... and clean my room!

Ciao for Now
<3 The Brunette
