It's Britney, bitch! Plus manis, feasties, and big kitties.

Come here. I have a confession to divulge. It's kind of embarrassing, so you have to promise to tell no one.

Okay, so it's not that embarrassing at all, and I guess posting this on my blog is not going to keep the secret between just you and me, and I'm pretty much over being embarrassed about stupid stuff.

Here it is: I like Britney Spears.

Go ahead, judge me. Britney is fabulous, and even though her songs are silly, they are a whole lot of fun to dance and rock out (pop out?) to. Take this song, "If U Seek Amy," for example.

On the surface it's just a fun song about trying to find a girl named Amy in the club, but if you listen again it's also a cheeky double entendre:


"Love me, hate me, say what you want about me / 


but all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy"

is actually ...But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to F-U-C-K me.

Haha! Britney, you're a bad girl! I didn't know you had it in you!



I was NOT a fan of Britney Spears when she first came out on the musical scene. I may have liked her when she was on the Mickey Mouse Club, but I'm not really sure-- my memories from those days are fuzzy, at best (though I can clearly remember fighting with my little sister, around that same time, about who got to hold the VHS box for The Little Mermaid while we watched the movie). I remember making a parody version of her first single "Baby One More Time" about kicking people's asses (I was really into Weird Al at the time and writing my own funny songs).

But I like her now. Her producers are amazing-- the beats are always hot and danceable-- and you gotta admit that the girl knows how to put on a show. I'm happy that I came around and grew to accept Britney. This blog is only a little bit ridiculous today, and I think I'm being silly because the weather is really beautiful today and I want to go back out.

Let's move on to my Daily Tweet... today is Day 12, and this one is addressed to the person I hate most/caused me a lot of pain. Fun! Who comes up with this stuff? I guess it must be said, though.

@MiserableShit: You're a terrible person. A sociopath. Hateful. Scary. A liar. A thief. I wish death on no one, except you. All you do is ruin lives, CREEP!

And that's all I'm gonna say about that person.

This weekend was so fun!! My DYL on Friday night was a huge success and a lot of fun, even though we did leave early (when you start partying at 4:30 PM it's hard to carry it on to the late evening). Good times. On Saturday I went to a birthday party for my friend Laura and had a blast-- first we went to a salon/spa and got pampered up. It was really relaxing to just chill out in a big comfy chair while getting my nails did. Getting a manicure was fun, even though the paint started chipping later that night.



We all later went out for a delicious feast at Andalu. Laura treated us to a tasting menu and we got a bunch of little American tapas plates. Sliders, onion rings, salads, fondue, the list went on... Man, did I pig out! My favorite dish I tried there was the deep fried macaroni and cheese-- lawd, that was divine!





On Sunday, Ben and I took a car ride over to the East Bay to check out his friend's plant sale and also get some sunshine. We ended up taking a hike up some hill on a trail called "Bear Creek Trail." Oh yeah, that name is really comforting.

The hike was all well and good and we were enjoying being out in the woods and away from people, until I heard a low-pitched roar and took off walking fast back down the trail. It was probably the sound of a tree about to fall, but it freaked me out, and I wasn't dressed properly. Next time we go off into the wilderness I'll remember to bring a big stick, and also wear some hiking boots.



What was funny, although you can't tell in this photo, is that we were both wearing shirts depicting big cats, totally unplanned. Mine had a tiger and Ben's had a black panther. It would have been dorky if we had coordinated a "couple's costume," but this wasn't the case. We just both really love cats.
