The People Who Never Sleep

There is a group of people that I am somewhat closely related to who, once a year, over a weekend, choose to basically not sleep. No, i'm not talking about Relay for Life (yet). I am Talking about those involved with Orientation Programs on the college campus that I am most closely affiliated with. These people put their hearts and souls into this one weekend a year in the spring, and they even give up all their sleeping hours to make it extra fantastic for everyone that visits. The best part about these people, is that they do it all in their NorthFaces (well, most of them). And thus, they have been selected to receive one of the coveted spots on this webpage, and in my life. Please note that although the following photo has an official time stamp on it, David and Alyssa's faces seem like a much more valid time stamp to me, and so they should to you too. And so, without further ado, David and Alyssa working up all night, in The North Face:

Taco Tuesday

Taco Tuesday

How to Participate in Taco Tuesday:

Step 0: Wear North Face for maximum epic-ness capacity (listed as Step 0 because it is a given and there are no other options. Duh.)

Step 1: Be hungry.

Step 2: Remember that it is in fact Tuesday.

Step 3: Take 2-4 dollars from savings jar.

Step 4: Choose from over 15 restaurants within one square mile offering Taco Tuesday.

Step 5: Get ride to chosen restaurant.

Step 6: Remember whether you usually order chicken or beef (this decision should be considered life     or death depending on decision made in Step 4).

Step 7: Find this guy and get him to take an awesome picture and then think you are a weirdo, so leave the restaurant quickly, in the North Face.

Taco safely until next time North Face Adventurers! 

Hoppy Easter all you awesome adventurers!
This week's adventure takes place in Sunny San Jose, California!
I was fortunate to invite myself/be invited to the boyfriend's family's crazy festivities of wonderful Easter weekend. After announcing his graduate school acceptance announcement (Penn State should be lucky to have him), we headed off to church. Being up north from south of where I was, it is only natural to see these thangs ERRRRYWHERE. and thus,

Easter Sunday Church Service. Boyfriend's (arguably famous) Father at church, IN THE NORTHFACE.

Adventures In my North Face (at Disneyland)

This blog was inspired by Kelsey Abourezk and the following meme: 

 

 Because of this HILARIOUS meme, my boyfriend and I decided that it would be fully worth our time and camera battery life if we embraced this theory. For those of you who are not familiar, 

 This is a standard North Face Jacket:











And this is a completely unnecessary North Face Jacket:

And This is Our List of Disneyland Adventures in our North Faces:

       Rain's Out Guns Out, In the North Face:              

 

Weather's nice? Ain't no thang, In the North Face.

(it was pouring rain and freezing all day, actually justified being at Disneyland.) (In the North Face.)

Cutest picture possible in the rain with Mickey, Walt, the castle, in the North Face:

Standard Charlotte. Normally at Disneyland, you want to find the 

hidden Mickey but here, I challenge you to find the hidden North Face:

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day, at Disneyland, In the North Face:

 

OMG Disney Magic, In the North Face:

 

Pulling the Sword out of the Stone, In the North Face:

 

On a cruise through the jungle, almost got eaten by hippos, luckily In the North Face:

Disney has this cool new thing where you take pictures, and then the manually go in and add balloons so when you look at them online, you can't add balloons over your friend's face. They are already there, In the North Face:

Or not there, In the North Face:

 

(Wookie Mistake)

Street sweeper was actually just in a Cast Jacket, but we saw him drawing these amazing pictures with his broom on the ground. It was cold so we were, In the North Face:

Epic things kept happening to us all day. We planned a great Space Mountain Picture and it all went smoothly. Unfortunately the cast members who scan the photos for dirty things were laughing at our picture and accidentally deleted it, so they let us cut the line, re-ride, and this was the result. Thank you happy couple. Space Mountain gets us off too, In the North Face.

 

Really racist, but really awesome Peter Pan Ride at 11:45 pm 

(because really, when else do you ride the kiddie rides), In the North Face:

 

Pinocchio's "this ride is creepy" "It's even creepier because we are the only one's on it" "you're the worst boyfriend ever at 11:50 pm" Ride, In the North Face:

Snow White's "hey, I always knew this ride was scary but it actually says Scary in the title! No wonder" Ride with no line at 11:55pm, In the North Face:

Looking at pretty things that I've never seen before because local's don't go to Disneyland in the rain because we can just re-schedule, In the North Face:

The second day, we went to California Adventure and it was sunny. But, for the sake of Kelsey, the meme, and this blog, we chose to keep the North Faces on and tough it out in the searing California sun. Plus as soon as we took them off, it got cold. Not pictured here are the following events:

-NOT getting stuck on California Screamin' Roller Coaster for 45 minutes at the top because we wanted to go on Toy Story Dirty Ride first
-Watching Disneyland fireworks, that were previously cancelled, from California Adventure to the sound of Katy Perry's song "Firework."
-Getting stuck on Monsters Inc. Ride and getting to walk through the whole ride and make up our own dialogue
-Watching a night time light up frisbee show (who knew)
-Seeing a family dress all of their children up like the entire cast of Peter Pan (debatably most racist sexist movie ever, but still good)
-Ordering adventurous soda when we went to the most expensive restuarant in the park specifically to drink wine, because it was unlimited free refills on Disney Property (seriously unbelievable. had to go for it duh).
-Getting Wookie hat comments all day b/c everyone is always jealous of everything we do.

Disney designers, has someone has had a little too much to drink? I didn't ask for Chicken Strips. I asked for CARS LAND!!!, In the North Face:

OMG CARS VOM, In the North Face:

There's this movie called Tron that only Disney seems to think was successful and thus they have themed their entire night park after it but nobody even saw it but at least I get to lay out sexily on this cool plastic couch, In the North Face.
