Impromptu stuff is not my strong suit, because I'm weird and neurotic. But if you catch me at the right moment, spontaneity isn't as panic inducing.
Idk what it is about being spontaneous that is so off putting to me. I correlate spontaneity with carelessness, and I think that's what is so like.. ugh. But that's super deep-seeded shit that is generally irrelevant to actually doing stuff on the fly.
I don't know. Idk, whatever.
BUT YESTERDAY
WEE!
I was actually just chilling at my computer when Alvin texts me. He was in Brea, but works near where I live and I only ever see him at cons. But now that I live here, hanging out isn't as ridiculous! So.
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
he asks the age old question: "What do you feel like? Burgers? Ramen?
And Cynthia said
DANCE,
R A M E N
DANCE
yep.
are we surprised?
if we are, hi i'm cynthia and i have an addiction to ramen. it's weeb, and sad, but who am i to stop it?
no one. i am no one. and that's okay.
this is the part where i'd put Big Bang's Loser music video right here, but I won't.
There were two places in Fullerton that Alvin suggested. We agreed on this one:
because it was closer to me and the other one sounded kinda ghetto.
and apparently plays nothing but reggae
and i can't.
do that.
rich, fatty, tonkotsu goodness blessed us on yesterday's eve.
just look at how blessed he is
Divinity incarnate.
The place was really cute, too. And dark.
And still, despite replacing the camera on my S4, I still can't hold the shit still to get a clear picture to save my life.
But this place was really good. It's just 20 mins from me. and It definitely won't be the last time I stuff myself stupid there.
yaaaaaaasss
garlic edamame was a must.
if they offer it, i order it. simple as that
the effects of the edamame are clearly seen above.
note the expression of reckless abandon
toooonnnnkooooootssssuuuuuuuuuuu ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkk yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss hhnnnnnnnnggggggggggg
these are from his thingie @thedogeman
note the superior camera quality that isn't mine
so good.
good times.
Since we were in downtown Fullerton on a Wednesday, and it wasn't super late yet, we decided to just go for a walk. I've never been there, but he lived there for a good portion of his life so he showed me around.
It reminded me a lot of downtown Burbank with all the cute little indie shops and pretty landscaping.
Since it was a Wednesday night, it also wasn't crazy out with tons of loud drunkies everywhere. This was ideal.
At one point, we came across this coffee shop; "Dripp"
We could see into it from the street, and it looked really cute inside. So we investigated.
This required trying to find the entrance which was in the back down a little alley.. for future records.
again w/ the shitty handling of a camera >_< i'm sorry.
I rush to capture photos in public places so as to not make anyone feel uncomfortable. this often results in blurry messes =\
hnnnnnnnnnnngggg
We got stuff.
He got a decafinated brew, whose name escapes me. But his was nutty, and earthy, and really smooth. it was really good. I got the "Koke" which was infused with fucking berries. And it tasted like berries. It was awesome.
The presentation was adorable.
Pricey, but I completely get why. Worth it. VERY delicious coffee. I could drink it black. I didn't, but I could. lol.
SELFFFIIIIEEE
He got a cookie that we split. It was called "Turtle"
chocolate with caramel and white chocolate chips.
I don't fancy chocolate, but it was pretty dope.
We were there for a while, just chilling. The place is really, really nice. Cozy.
I'll have to return and buy 50 macaroons. I wanted to get some, but I didn't have cash on me and felt bad using a card for like $2 purchases. =\
And on our way out we realized that the wall in that corner was covered in books.
Cutest evening ever.
Thank you Alvin! For showing me downtown Fullerton ^_^
It, to me, was a nice welcome to Orange County!
I still have a lot to check out and get accustomed to down there. But from what Alvin tells me, there are tons of awesome places to eat. This is dangerous information.
Challenge accepted.
If I gain a lot of weight this year, you can blame Alvin. I'm just saying.
And I can't stress enough how great it is to have people I know live nearby. Or rather, in the area. Frankly, moving here was scary because I thought I'd be basically alone. But more and more people are coming forward saying that they visit down here often or.... live here! It's... a huge relief.
When special bestie showed up outside my place with my hoodie... I almost cried, lol. In my head, that just wasn't a possibility-- him being there. It's silly, I know. I treated my moving here like some end of the world crisis thing in which I'll never see anyone ever again.
but only because in my mind, people are busy and grow apart. It happens.
Distance doesn't help that. My brain just wants to accept the possibility of that happening as a defense mechanism in case it actually does happen. Dumb.
Dumb dumb dumb.
Neurotic!
Idk why I'm evening mentioning all that. I was clearly wrong! And again, I'm glad I was.
This picture makes me feel like I resemble a little boy with a wig on.
Did I mention I forgot an important document at my old store in Burbank that I technically cannot work without?
If I didn't... well. Yeah.
First it was my hoodie. Now this.
Wonder what's next.
Actually, ... my tip money from last week is still there, too.
Burbank won't let me go.
It's k. I still haven't let go of Burbank either.
But ramen definitely helps, lol.
