virgins & hitchhikers' weekend

i went home to ottawa this weekend since neesha had to drive down for a wedding anyway. saturday night i went clubbing, as usual.. the theme was de-virginizing clubbing virgins :) it was a successful night! sonal, bijal, tejal, reena (#2), and i headed to suite 34, which made me miss some things about ottawa: $5 parking in the middle of downtown on a saturday night, and $6 cover. *sigh* 'twas a cheap night indeed, especially since i was the designated driver. there was no drama.. which is a good and bad thing i suppose. good because it makes for a positive experience, bad because it makes for a boring story..

this morning was a late wake up and i headed downtown again for brunch with the familia. all we saw were police - left, right, and centre. EVERYWHERE. this is apparently how much i've been keeping up with the news because i had no clue there was a north american summit or conference going on this week. there were buses after buses of cops being brought into downtown. it was pretty amusing to see :)

on the way back to toronto tonight, jiten (neesha's fiancé) was driving the second half after belleville, with dharmesh in the passenger seat. i was closing my eyes for a few minutes and a i heard, "hey what's that..? it's spider-man! omigod, that's spider-man!" .. i open my eyes thinking they saw something on someone's window. no.. since it was barely crawling traffic, and we were in the far left lane, jiten moves onto the shoulder a bit, opens his door, reaches out and grabs.. a spider-man stuffed doll. *slaps forehead*

makes for a good random ending to the weekend.

nothing to report

i've neglected the blog as of late.. mostly because i haven't really had much to write about. there were little tidbits here and there, but nothing i felt like typing an entire story around. *sigh*

- a cashier at fortinos got overly excited when i showed her where they stored paperbags at her cash. "do you get a discount for those..?" i could have totally taken advantage and said it's the same as the green re-useable bags.. but the girl was too nice for me to want to be completely evil.

- whenever i go to blockbuster, i keep passing pan's labyrinth. i watched the first half hour of it at my aunt's house (she gets *free* movies) and want to know how it ends.. the only problem is the movie kind of gives me the heeby jeebies. and knowing me, if i were to watch this movie on my own, i'd more than likely start seeing and hearing things around the house for no good reason.

- i have discovered the best packaged mexican rice EVER: vigo mexican rice. it tastes just like the rice at burrito boyz! SO yummy.

work is getting ridiculously busy and driving me slightly insane, so i'm really enjoying the fact life has been fairly uneventful!

imaginary boyfriend

i think my parents think i'm seeing someone behind their back. the things they ask do seem to hint at the fact they think i have a boyfriend.

a few weeks ago i met up with a family friend they know. the weekend that followed mum and dad came into town. dad asked, "so who did you meet up with on wednesday? what did you do? where did you go? who else was there? what did you eat?" i mean, those weren't typical *tell me about your day* type questions.. he was interrogating. either his skills at being inconspicuous are getting worse as he gets older or i'm just getting smarter.

last week i bought a bunch of lilies and random flowers from the grocery store to stick on the kitchen table. it's something i have a tendency to do randomly since it's easier to take care of cut flowers that are expected to die eventually than potted plants. plus i like lilies. anyway, dad flew into town thursday night and didn't notice the flowers until friday. he called me at work, "who gave you flowers?" *slaps forehead*

this past weekend i caught mum going through a couple of my drawers at random times. she used excuses like, "i was looking for a hairband.." (even though there was one right in front of her on the counter of of my dresser).

i'd be super annoyed by this if i weren't so amused by the fact my parents intuitions are TOTALLY off. it almost makes me want to pretend as if i'm trying to date someone inconspicuously just to see how they continue to react. unfortunately that would be far too mean of me.. perhaps i'll save that for an april fool's joke :)
