So after I got my CNA license, some of my internet friends invited me up to go on a road trip to San Francisco with them. I had known Colleen for a while and her boyfriend Lou and we had a mutual e-friend Jasper who lived in San Jose. This is a blog about our journey.

After they came to pick me up, we stopped at a burger king to get some food. Off of the freeway in the middle of nowhere, the setting seemed to be straight out of a zombie shooter.

[image loading]
Lou smiles as I awkwardly sip Dr. Pepper. There were roaches in the bathroom

We arrived at our motel at about 1AM and I immediately went online and started browsing teamliquid, facebook, reddit, and such websites. An internet addict never sleeps.

[image loading]

Of course I had to text my mom at night to tell her we had arrived safely.

[image loading]

We pick up Jasper and head to SF to take a bus to the golden gate bridge. We stand at the bus stop looking manly and deep.

[image loading]

hurp durp luvers

[image loading]

I look bored as Jasper laughs at me. What a jerk.

[image loading]

We finally arrived at the golden gate bridge which of course had awesome scenery. There were hella tourists around, so it was a bit crazy to navigate on foot but it went fine. I was very nervous being up so high above the water and the massive amounts of wind didn't help.

[image loading]

The dark side of the bridge.

[image loading]

Being too cool for NORMAL tourists, we pause to look manly as fuck while colleen snaps a photo.

[image loading]

We finally get her in the picture. Jasper snidely points at the two of us. Didn't anyone ever tell him pointing is rude?

[image loading]

Jasper's O-Face.

[image loading]

*shrug*

[image loading]

When we arrive at fisherman's wharf we decided to take a sensitivity class. You're never too far from home to learn.

[image loading]

Jasper tries to teach me to use chopsticks but it is of no use. I ended up using a fork like the american barbarian I am.

[image loading]

Lou dies and I stand nearby and sweat.

[image loading]

Then it was time for drunken Magic The Gathering/DotA/League of Legends/StarCraft

I play Protoss 1a2a3a ez.

[image loading]

Then it was time for Chipotle. Eating is the best.

[image loading]

I use my gravity to attract small asian men toward me. It always works.

[image loading]

Kawaii

[image loading]

Gross a girl get away.

[image loading]

I had a lot of fun in San Francisco! NorCal is really cool, I look forward to moving up to the San Jose area one day. <3 ya TL!

I ALMOST FORGOT!

In JapanTown we went to one of those supa kawaii photobooth things that all the japanese teenage girls do. This is the result. Beware.

This is really confusing because two of those faces are completely interchangeable. Do you think if the girls face were burned off in a fire the guy would give his to her so that she could go on living a normal life?

that's an interesting question. I wonder if they've ever swapped faces as a practical joke? The staples would give it away if you looked close, but it would still be great fun until people figured it out, i'd imagine.

If you would compare the "Bay Area" to NY, where would that be?

San Francisco seemed OK. Although for one of the pictures I can hardly see the bridge that is on the background. Air pollution or fog?

Rather than try to explain it, here:

There's a couple maps there.

LOL wtf that first picture looks really photoshopped. I didn't believe it was real till I saw the guy in the other photos. The japanese style pictures were hilarious haha, looks like fun.

You look totally different from what I expected, but it looks like you had a good time. Did Colleen/Lou start off as e-friends as well or did you meet them IRL first?
