Whoo-hoo... all done with my class!!!!! Edited my last research paper while sitting in Dodger Stadium. (Brett was right, I should've started yesterday!) Dodgers won today, 4-0! Take that Pirates!!!! Milestone... I actually drove all the way to the Dodger Stadium!

The day started off with me scrambling to finish up my essay. Quite typical of me, I was the last one to arrive at Allison's house (meeting place). I'm so Berkeley that I even run on Berkeley time when I'm not there... only 10 minutes late. (Yay! That's early for me!) It's so great being a girl and driving down the 101. You stick your arm out to change lanes and men graciously let you in. =) We picked up Allison off a street corner (literally) and headed over to the Dodger Stadium. Yes! Girls beat the guys! (Or maybe I'm just an awesome driver! Muahahhaa!)

Okay, so the funniest thing happened tonight... (I feel like I'm getting ready to do a stand-up routine.) Isak had free Dodger tickets... TOO BAD THEY WERE FOR LAST NIGHT'S GAME! We all get to the ticket booth, only to be shoo-ed away. Not to fear... Shirley's quick thinking had us formed into two "families," scoring us some nose-bleed seats with a couple of Dodger dogs and drinks. (My first Dodger dog! Ehhh... Top Dog is still better.) Crazy boys!!!! They actually scalped 4 extra tickets for $10 to one of those guys standing outside with the signs that read, "I Need Tickets." Sheesh, it's always the smart ones that do bad things!

So recap of game... Allison made friends with random people and told EVERYBODY about her dream marriage proposal (a homerun ball batted out for her to catch with the words "Will you marry me?" written on it). Derek almost had a throw-down with some lady while April and I acted like nerdy school girls and did our homework. We did the wave maybe 3 times and then agreed that the usher guy should be replaced by Allison. I managed to hit the beachball twice before some loser in the front knocked it into the middle section. Shirley had a peanut thrown at her, and lucky Allison had a baseball bat thrown at her (don't worry, it was a minature one) with the words "I LOVE YOU" scrawled on it.

So what ACTUALLY happened IN the game... Shawn Green hit another homer today and Gagne closed out the game during the last two innings, completely shutting out the Pirates! Dodgers win 4-0, with us cheering "Krispy Kreme!" and "Dooooough-nut!" in the last inning. Guess where I'm going tomorrow? That half dozen box of Krispy Kremes has my name written all over it!

*Somebody thinks I'm PERFECT!*
