the super fabulous san francisco trip of pure awesome {2}...

Let me just say that this time last week I was having a mountain of fun with Lauren, Ashton, Christina, and Vanessa. We were probably heading to dinner...or getting lost or something. All I know is we were being totes legit. Why yes, I do miss them AND San Francisco. Which is why it is time to recap day 2 (and one picture from day 3...the lame, sad day). Here is a little forewarning of the hilarity that ensued on Day 2:

*This post includes pictures taken with a gigantic wooden penis sculpture. Yes, you read that correctly...I said penis sculpture.*

Saying goodbye to the ladies and to San Francisco WAS...
Was meeting three Internet friends kind of a crazy idea? Probably. Was it possibly one of the most fun trips ever? For sure. I can personally vouch that I love these ladies. They are smart, ballsy, honest, and hilarious. Will this be the last trip we all take together? Heck no!

Ladies, thanks for making this trip fabulous. I love you all and miss your freaking gorgeous faces.

the super fabulous san francisco trip of pure awesome {1}...

Okay, so I know you all are probably already tired of hearing/reading about 'The Super Fabulous San Francisco Trip of Pure Awesome'...well please forgive because I have about three posts worth of epic to share...as do my trip-mates.

Speaking of my trip-mates...these ladies are absolutely amazing...

We all decided to take a picture with a parasol in China Town...except for Christina...she went for the fan...yeah she is a picture whore. *ahem*

I decided to let the pictures (almost) speak for themselves. These photos are everything this trip was.

So, in sum San Francisco WAS...

Let's review, shall we? Day one of our San Francisco trip was amazing. Day two? Well day two was freaking hilarious...

i am on awesome overload...

If you were wondering if the previously mentioned trip was epic...it SO was. I had the best time with my former iBffs...so awesome they are all now real life bffs. San Francisco was A.Maz.Ing. I think the blog community should be aware that we will ALL be blogging about this trip for like a month. Why? Because it was just that legit...and we have 9,000 pictures to share.

I however, am exhausted and I have a mountain of laundry to tackle and some homework to finish. Which means those posts will have to wait.

Also, I officially am pissed at Twitter. I get home to check my account...because it is like crack to me, and it tells me I deactivated my account. Um. Fuhthewah?! I absolutely did NOT. I haven't even been on a computer to do so. Yeah I am bitter right now. So I created a new one, even though I am hoping it is just an error and I can soon have my old one back.

New Twitter Account:

@Alexandria_Cady (formerly known as

@alexandriacadyh)

So, to recap: I had a fabulous weekend and Twitter is a failure and you all need to follow my new account so I don't have a panic attack.

The End.

today is the day...

I have never in my life been on a blind date. Ever. The whole concept of going out for an evening with someone I have never even seen a picture of freaks me out. Probably because I am a control freak and I just don't function well with surprises. However, this weekend I have not one but three (sorta) blind dates. Whoa, whoa, whoa...don't be too quick to call me a skank...they are three sorta-blind GIRL dates...three sorta-blind straight-girl dates with people I only know via the internets.

What am I trying to say here? I have a San Francisco adventure planned with three iBff's and a FSIL (future sister-in-law). Yep, that is correct I am meeting some of my dear bloggy friends in REAL freaking LIFE. TONIGHT. Who? Well the one and only Ashton, my political soul sister. Lauren, my judgement twin. Vanessa, one of my very first iBff's. And, Christina, who happens to be my older brothers girlfriend AND real life bestie o' mine.

Does it get any more epic? I think not. This weekend shall rule the school as the five of us tear it up SF style. Hopefully, we will all come back with posts that make you feel as if YOU were all there with us...and a group vlog that will make you all laugh so hard you pee your pants.

Have a fabulous weekend!

xoxo

p.s. if we get arrested...you guys will bail us out, right? RIGHT?!

always alexandria's official hottness monster list: the girl crush edition pt. 1...

It is that glorious time again. The time for us to gather and enjoy some epic foxiness. However, this hottness monster list is not like the others. I am a huge fan of the 'girl crush'. I may like the fellas but I can definitely appreciate the beauty in other women. In every list thus far I have included one or two ladies...but I figured they deserved their very own list. So, with the help of my Twitter pals I composed an EPIC list. It is in fact so epic that it will be in more than one part. So, on we go...

Hottness Monster #1:Rachel Mcadams is bee-you-ti-ful. To the freaking maximum. Not only is she stunning, she is an amazing young actress, and a red carpet expert. Her style is impeccable. If I didn't love her so bad...I would kind of want to punch her in that perfect smile of hers. I mean 1.) she is a babe and 2.) she has had real life AND movie sex with Ryan Gosling. Yep...not going to lie I am a little jealous. Oh, and Rach just a small tip from me to you...you look better as a brunette...quit going blond okay? Okay...

Hottness Monster #2:I think I have been in straight-girl-love with Natalie Portman for a loooong time. I have loved almost every movie I have seen her in (minus 'Closer'...sorry folks but that movie creeped me out). Not only is she SUPER talented, she is a humanitarian, and a genius (yep...anyone who has attended/attends Harvard is a genius in my book). She was also on a episode of 'Top Chef' and hi, I love food. Natalie and I are pretty much meant to be bffs...

Hottness Monster #3:Okay so this may not be the best picture to examine Anne Hathaway's face...but really this picture is ALL about her style. That dress is so freaking fierce I cannot even begin to describe how bad I wish I could 1.) afford it and 2.) rock it as well as she does. Anne always dresses to kill. Very rarely do I see her where she isn't dressed to the 9's. I mean pretty much every time I see her I have a fashiongasm. No lie...

Hottness Monster #4:

I. Freaking. Love. Kate. Winslet. Why do I love her? Oh, let me count the ways. 1.) She is gorgeous. 2.) She has mad Academy Award winning acting skills. 3.) She is fearless in the roles she plays. 4.) She looks just as fabulous in a t-shirt and jeans as she does in a designer gown. 5.) She has the body of a REAL woman and she rocks it with pride. I mean really? Homegirl is butt naked in almost every movie she makes...and she shows her curves with pride. Yep. She is legit...

Hottness Monster #5Now comes the time for THE leading female hottness monster. Angelina Jolie is my most epic girl crush. Call her a freak, a homewrecker, crazy...I l-o-v-e her so bad. Like between me and you...I would consider switching teams when it comes to Angie (no lies). She ties with Mr. Pattinson when it comes to people that make me say, 'holla!'. Go ahead and judge. I care not. Bff Jil...we have discussed this...and we shall continue to agree to disagree. Deal? Deal...

Like I said...this is only part one of the female hottness monster posts. If you have someone YOU want included...let me know via comment and I will see if I can make it happen.

Okay...do we agree? Disagree? Let's discuss this.

fill in the blank friday {5.}...

It's that time once again. You know...the time to fill those blanks! It is also the time where midterms are finally O-V-E-R and spring break is here. Which hopefully means that I will not be a terrible blogger for at least the next week....here is hoping. Make sure you fill in some blanks of your own and then head on over to Lauren's blog to link up... {1.} The best day ever was the day that my niece was born. It was the day that I realized what true, true love really was. In case you haven't gotten the clue yet...she is my favorite person on the planet.

{2.} My favorite meal of the day is breakfast because almost ALL breakfast food is delicious. Waffles, eggs, bacon, and the love o' my life also known as oatmeal.

{3.} This weekend will be blissfully boring. I am home alone (which is my favorite thing ever) and I have nothing to do but read, scrapbook, and have dance parties in my unds. Word.

{4.} Never in my life have I eaten sushi. And by sushi I mean the raw fish stuff not the actual cooked stuff. Sorry but it sicks me out in a way I cannot even begin to describe. No thank you.

{5.} The only thing better than Sprinkles Cupcakes are a dozen Sprinkles Cupcakes.

{6.} I could really do with some sunshine. I am kind of over California being dreary and rainy all the time.

{7.} The most recent thing I bought myself was lotion and deodorant. Yeah. My life is exciting.

Happy Friday lovey dolls. Have a fabulous weekend...full of dance parties in YOUR unds. Trust. It is legit.

urban hilarity {1}...

My blog has become kind of lame in these past few weeks. I blame school. All of my witty/snarky commentary has been drained from my brain by higher education. So, while I was supposed to be studying for midterms...I somehow ended up over at Urban Dictionary. I could spend HOURS there, it rules. Whilst perusing that glorious site I came up with the brilliant (she said so modestly) idea to document some of my favorite words and their definitions. These are all terms I am going to strive to use in real life. Why? Because I want to. Deal with it.

{1.} Vaguebooking: An intentionally vague Facebook status update, that prompts friends to ask what's going on, or is possibly a cry for help.
Mary is: "wondering if it is all worth it" Mark is: "thinking that was a bad idea".

-My commentary: Hi. This word owns me. I hate Facebook. True story. The only time I EVER use it is if I am uber-bored and feeling slightly stalkerish...one thing that makes me crazy is the lame things people say just to get someone to ask them what is up. So suffice it to say I am so not going to become a fan of 'vaguebooking'.

{2.} Break your crayons: Trying to ruin your day or moment by doing something childish, petty or immature.

-My Commentary: I plan on using this phrase daily. I mean it has so much more awesome in it than saying someone is trying to 'bust your chops'. Back up and don't break my crayons...but if you must, please break the orange ones. I am not a big fan of the color orange...

{3.} The Time: A euphemism for sexual intercourse that was popularized by the widely read novel "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. The main character, Holden Caulfield uses the phrase several times throughout the book.

-My commentary: Are you freaking joking me? We use to say this back in the day (which was a Wednesday, fyi) all the time. How on earth did I allow this brilliant term for 'banging it out' slip my mind? From here on out I will never say 'sex' again, I will only say 'give the time'. Win.

{4.} Text-hole: Someone who texts on their cellphone in really inappropriate places, like movie theatres, concerts, plays, or during sex.

-My commentary: Yeah. This is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves. Especially when it occurs in a movie theatre/play setting. If you were wondering if I am the kind of person who loses her mind and confronts obnoxious movie-goers. I am. I am not-so-secretly hoping I encounter a theatre texter so I can call them a text-hole. It is now pretty much the dream of my life.

{5.} Bitchassness: Term coined by Diddy on 'Making the Band'. Overall stank actions towards others through words, facial expressions, and/or song. Symptoms include: thinking your better than those around you, not speaking your true feelings, throwing large amounts of shady.

-My commentary: Okay first thing, I have never witnessed an episode of 'Making the Band' however after discovering this term...I am thinking I was missing out. I mean really? Bitchassness?! Pretty sure this is going to quickly turn into my favorite word of all time.

So, on Twitter I was discussing this lovely post of hilarity. I mean seriously I slayed myself with some of this...whatever. Yes, I do realize I may be the ONLY person who finds this entertaining. Yes, I have a list of 47 words to do this for, and it will become a regular feature. Love me through it.
