In the four years that I lived in Southern California I did not feel a single earthquake. I have now been living in San Francisco for 2 and 1/2 months and I have felt my first SF earthquake! It was a 5.6.

My first reaction was, "Oh the Muni is going by." Then the house just kept shaking and it kept getting stronger and I realized it was a earthquake.

So now I get to wait out the aftershocks. Awesome!

This post is dedicated to my sister because she has been there for me through everything. I am so glad to have her in my life because if she wasn't, I would have lost my sanity a long time ago. She is easily the greatest person I know.

Here are my top 10 favorite Jen moments.

1) My third birthday was at McDonald's in Sacramento. She was 11 and she was determined to read every single card to me. I was 3 and I couldn't really read and I didn't really care, but she just kept reading every card to me.

2) When I was 13 I went to visit her in New York City and she took me to the Nsync concert in Jones Beach. I remember riding the train with her to the concert and being so excited to be in New York, with my sister, going to see Justin TImberlake, decked out in baby blue.

3) When I moved off to college down in Long Beach, I didn't know a single soul and I was pretty scared even though I may not have told anyone that. So after my parents moved me in and left me alone in my dorm room Jen hung out with me for a couple hours to help me get settled.

4) Our first Giants and Dodgers game together. We had drunken bachelors hit on us.

5) Sushi Roku. Eating amazing sushi and the most amazing vanilla ice cream dessert ever.

6) Our weekend routine of going to the Grove, eating at Marmalade and then going to the Beverly Center.

7) Thanksgiving last year. Making dinner in her kitchen and hanging out with the family.

8) Seeing Winona Ryder in Victoria's Secret at the Grove.

9) The night that we went to the Tapas bar and drank way too much wine. And the above picture occurred.

10) My 21st birthday. Because even though I ended up in a drunken stupor, Jen planned that entire weekend for me and that meant so much. It just showed how awesome of a sister she really is.

Love you, sis. Can't wait or you to be up here so we can conquer San Francisco the way we conquered LA.

I cannot tell you how insulted I am by pink baseball gear. I am insulted as a baseball fan and I am insulted as a woman. The entire point of wearing baseball gear is to represent your team and a big part of that is by sporting the team's colors. For example, Giants and Dodgers games. If a person is wearing black and orange. Giants fan. Blue, Dodgers fan. Pink? Who is the dumbass wearing pink to a Giants and Dodgers game?

I am insulted as a woman because it is just such a stereotype for a woman to like pink. Why fall into that stereotype? Why even perpetuate this horrible stereotype? Do they realize they are helping men justify their reasons for being chauvinistic pigs?

When I see a woman wearing pink I automatically think, "There is some dumb girl who is here with her boyfriend and doesn't know a thing about baseball." The thing is 9 times out of 10 I'm right with that assessment.

I've asked some girls why do they wear these hideous pieces of clothing and they reply with, "It's cute. Black and orange aren't that cute." Because yes, you go to a baseball game to look cute, not enjoy the game right? Once again you have proven that you are a dumbass and are perpetuating the stereotype that women don't like sports. I hate you for this. But then it is almost a good thing for me because when a guy sees that I know more about baseball than he does, I am usually proposed to.


So if you consider yourself a feminist in any way shape or form, enough with the pink shit. You are only hurting your fellow women and we're already paid only 75 cents on the dollar.
