i'm wicked and i'm lazy

i haven't had a 12 hour sleep in so VERY long.. it feels so nice to just sleep.

friday i went to jen and rob's housewarming/halloween party - tons of fun! jen was sandra bullock in miss congeniality (member of the "special" police), rob was disco stu (eh!), matt(er) was a he/she pimp (i think he really got in touch with his feminine side that night.. i'm sure the alchohol helped him with that), holly was the paper bag princess (she had a few technical difficulties with her costume such as sitting and bending), chris was a character from a movie i can't remember that is apparently worth watching (all i can say is the bulging nether regions were hard not to notice and needed to be censored!), and jeff and simone dressed up as a cowboy and cowgirl (with a handlebar moustache and all - on jeff, not simone). i dressed up as the girl who got layed (laid).. yes, my last minute dollar store costume. at least my lay was yellow.

damn right i work in the ghetto

this morning at 9am a car was stolen at work from the small parking lot right in front of the office. 9-freakin'-o'clock in the morning! i couldn't believe it. the only reason we know the time was that another person at work saw the car drive away. she drives a early 90s honda civic, so her chances of her car being stolen was pretty high. apparently that chance was higher lately because it's been happening a number of times in the area where i work. i still can't believe it! the guy definitely has balls for stealing a car at that time of day.

all i brought home from dallas was a cold and a t-shirt

over the thanksgiving weekend a whole bunch of us flew down to dallas for our cousins' birthday party. amit was turning 21 and preyan was turning 18. thanks to my dad's aeroplan miles, i was able to go down. he's accumulated over 130,000 miles because of his business trips, so i feel it is my duty to unload him of such nuissances. he travels enough already, does he need to travel more?!

anyway, went down to dallas friday night. got a woman with a stick up her arse at customs, but no problems.

customs lady: what is your occupation?
me: marketing coordinator
customs lady: what do you coordinate?
me: marketing..
customs lady: oh. *stamp* *stamp* *stamp* you may go.


saturday night was the party. i danced 'til i dropped! they played an introduction game and when i introduced myself, i got boo'ed by two guys when i said i was from ottawa.

sunday morning all the kids except me woke up late, so we only had an hour to scour the outlet mall. we separated into groups of two and had a meet up time. neesha, risha and i got back to the meetup point before the guys (go figure..) and there was one store risha wanted to go to but we couldn't find. so we looked at the mall map and the two of us booted it for the store while neesha waited for the others. while we were almost there i started to get a cramp in my leg. i yelled at risha to go ahead without me and i'll catch up to her. it was totally like a chase in a movie "forget about me, save yourself!" kind of situation.

sunday night we went out for drinks at sonic and then made a trip to the 24 hour walmart superstore. none of us got the chance to see the gun display and were intrigued. turns out they lock the display away after a reasonable time because who in their right mind would sell a gun to someone at 11pm..

anyway, it was a great weekend that ended with ben & jerry's at the airport. who doesn't love ben & jerry's?!
