Oh, hey there.
Yeah, it’s me. I know. Surprise and stuff. First, a warning: Do not expect this entry to be a perfect example of my writing prowess — this is just a time-killing post while I wait for my roomie to get home and help me lift this ginormous fucking wardrobe that I built all by my goddamn self.
With that said, have some pictures of some stuff I did recently because I have nothing relevant to say right now and I enjoy writing run on sentences that end in colons leading to pictures:
Here I am surrounded by some of my favorite people in the city (follow them on Twitter: @on3nightstan, @ctz, @warrenprice — I have no idea who that dude in the very back is). Yes, I know, I am the skinniest person on the goddamn planet, I have no tits and no ass, and the only reason I look semi-tall in this picture is because I have 5 inch heels on.
Also, I am absolutely wasted in this shot after downing quite a few vodka redbulls in celebration of @RichIGN‘s birthday.
It.
Was.
Awesome.
… Moving along.
Here I am being a perfect daughter with Mom and Dad. No idea why Dad isn’t smiling. They’ve been in the city two weekends in a row now just visiting and helping me move to my new apartment, stocking my fridge with shittons of groceries, and helping me snag some cheap new furniture from Ikea since I am, of course, vehicle-less.
Aren’t we just adoraaableeee?! @CTZ and I managed to trick quite a few people into thinking we were a couple by setting one of these shots up as my profile picture. It’s amazing how much gossip a stupid default pic on Facebook can cause, isn’t it? Don’t be surprised if I start putting up pictures that are designed to feed the trolls.
Here I am looking like a homeless person with my torn jeans and clothing-filled garbage bags. I was in the process of moving out of my old apartment and decided to take some final pictures in my room before I didn’t have access to it anymore. :3
These are delicious Asian snacks that my parents bought for me while they were visiting. They also helped me stock up on potato chips which, if you didn’t know, are my absolute weakness! Sour Cream & Onion, BBQ, Cheddar & Sour Cream, Jalapeno, Salt & Vinegar — whatever! I. Fucking. Love. Potato Chips.
Surprise! More camwhoring. Betcha’ didn’t expect that one. My ability to bewilder crowds is over level 9,000.
I tried those world-famous Swedish Meatballs from the Ikea Restaurant while I was there with my parents shopping for furniture. And uh … They really weren’t that great. Y’all are overreacting when it comes to food rating. *Snub*
Here I am after discovering a new camwhoring angle that makes me look sexier than I really am (dat ass!). Clearly I had a ball with this one.
This is that wardrobe I built that weighs a million fucking pounds. I hammered and pieced it together all by myself because, if you haven’t guessed by now, I am amazing.
And more pictures of me just in case you forgot what I look like.
I mean, really, the whole goal of camwhoring is to burn my image into your head so if you spot me on the street, you’ll be like, “OH MY GOD. Are you Cheri?! Are you that blogger?! OHMYGOD. I totally subscribe to your YouTube, like your page on Facebook, and follow you on Twitter! Like ohmygod, take a picture with me, please!!”
But you guys. Lemme’ just ask you something.
Why is it that every time I run into one of you on the street, I ask you to send or tweet me the picture that we took together, and you’re always like, “of course”, but when I check my Twitter and email, I NEVER GET THE PICTURE FROM YOU?! C’mon people. Stop sucking. Follow through. That’s what winners do.
And uhh … Yeah. o_o *Slinks away*
Tired from moving and building shit,
XOXO Cheri XOXO

do most of your friends have parents who come help them take every little step towards adulthood?
Do you have parents who love you very much and enjoy helping you and go out of their way to make sure you are happy and healthy? I do. And they’re amazing. Couldn’t be happier. <3 Jealous much?
I thoroughly enjoyed that post! :) And it is really funny you mentioned that part about seeing people on the street, because yesterday after work I went shopping downtown with some coworkers @ Macy’s & H&M and when I was walking on the street, I thought “Hmm, this is TOTALLY where I would catch Cheri if anywhere, how com she’s never around here??” *scratches head* hehehe, but if i do see you around there, I’ll be sure to take a pic…and send it to you!
Based on your potato chip preference, Imma go out on a limb here and say Ruffles? and/or Lays! I <3 Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles *drooooooooooool*
So you are back to having a roomie? Stranger or someone you know this time around??
i liked your reply to lulu. thumbs up to having awesome parents!! :)
Glad to see a new post! =)
Ruffles are bomb, but Lays are amaaazing, hahaha. And kettle chips. Mmmm. Or those gourmet chips, omfg. Delicious. XD
Anyway, I’m rarely ever shopping these days. :) Mostly I try to save my money for my rent. And I’ll only shop if I know I have the extra cash to spare. But really, I want to save as much money as possible so I can make my rent for at least a year at this place, ha — I don’t want to freaking move again. :P
And no, I don’t know who this person is. But my landlord is awesome and he picks who lives here, so it’s fine. :) I don’t have to worry about it. Heheh.
LoL I love getting stuff from ikea. It makes me feel so cool and handy after it’s all put together 8)
Same. Piecing and hammering it all together all by yourself makes you feel manly. XD
Yeah, I’ve never been too impressed with the IKEA meatballs either. But they’re so cheap, IDGAF hahaha.
Nice to see things are going well for you in SF! I haven’t checked in to your blog in a while and last time, they weren’t looking so hot. Should’ve known you wouldn’t stay down for long Cheri ;)
I can’t wait to see the finished product of that room you’ve been slaving over wardrobes for!
LOL! True. They are definitely cheap.
And thank you, heh! I was previously paying way too much for a place that I didn’t feel very comfortable in — creaky floorboards, hearing absolutely EVERYTHING, never getting good sleep, etc. It was stressing me out because I kept thinking, why do I want to make rent to stay here when I can just go back home and live for free?! But a lot of my friends were incredibly supportive and really pushed and motivated me to stick it out here in San Francisco a little longer, to continue my job hunt, and just get a cheaper place. So … That’s what I did, and they were right. I am definitely happier.
It feels good to struggle a little bit. It feels like I’m working for something. :)
Anyway, pictures are coming! Heh. Of my room, I mean.
You’re looking hotter than ever!
My hair is getting so long!
Now I would totally tweet you a picture if I ever meet you D: STOP HIDING…. lol jk. Did you ever plan a meet and greet? WAIT, you still live in San Francisco right!?
Ahahaha, I don’t hide, damn it! I just don’t get out as much as everyone else, apparently. I like to lock myself away in my apartment and chill. My room is so cuuute/cozy. I’m working on decorating it right now. Heheh.
Lmfao I love your blog posts. Very entertaining.
If and when I go out to Cali, what could be my permanent home, I’ll be sure to send you the picture after saying hello lol
Ah, why thank you. HAhahaha.
i love asian snacks!!! nice gifs haha the last posing one was pretty inventive :P hope your new place is awesome
It’s fucking GREAT.
Ohhh California, how I miss thee. 8( Yay for junk food! And your parents are AWESOME. My mother and stepfather didn’t fill my fridge, but they did everything else. :) And I must try some of those Asian snacks!!!
Yesss! I have an entire drawer in my room full of them now, hahaha. And they are delicious. :3
Congrats to your new apartment. Moving is difficult and very tiring especially when packing and lifting your stuffs.
It’s freaking true! … Also, this is totally a spam comment, but I let it through just to concur.
