costuem party

Halloween update...
Friday: 1st, Rob and Carl's party, then Becca and Edmund's Halloween party
Saturday: spent the evening with Melanie
Sunday: watched the neighborhood children trick or treat... Ah memories.

hopefully I will have a picture of my costume ready to post before too long has passed, just in case the pictures don't come out, I'll write a brief description for everyone who didn't see me dressed up for the weekend.
- I wore a green and yellow plaid school girl skirt that stopped about 4 inches above the knee, a white short sleeve buttondown shirt tied at the waist, blue knee socks, a yellow tie, and black Italian style loafers. It was a great costume, though a little too tight, and uncomfortable... I hope the pictures come out, otherwise it wont be as cool.

Man, I am one lucky son-of-a-bitch...
The other day my new girlfriend and I were on our way to meet some friends at a bar, and I was talking about how couples feel compelled to do everything together. So I mentioned that I was glad she had decided to join us for a beer, since it meant I got to introduce her to these friends... After a little bit of small talk she confessed ...

Melanie "I decided that I should come along, cuz it's never just one beer.."

Me "What do you mean? Unlike a a woman, after I have had a beer, the novelty is gone."

Somehow, I don't understand how, I Managed to fit my foot that far into my mouth and still have a girlfriend after that statement. Eh, God works in mysterious ways...

Conditional Quote of the week

In the parking lot after returning ffrom retreat weekened, upon emptying my bag looking for car keys, which were under my boxers:
"Dammit, there's nuts in my underwear... that's gonna be uncomfortable."

Great story

All sorts of things went wrong today but, I have to share this story about the joke that made it all better.
My coworker, Linda and I were talking and she asked what was wrong with me 'cuz all of the sudden I just stopped being my usual cheerful self...So, in an effort to dodge the question, I said "I feel about as friendly as a vampire giving a blowjob"... To which she replied "you have to at least admire the vampire for the effort"

I love my coworkers. They make me smile, even when I don't want to.

*minimalist*

Yesterday, I played the part of a good friend, and helped my friend Bernetta move out of her apartment and back into her house...
There's something about helping a minimalist pack, that makes a pack-rat like me look at my life. I have too much shit. I tend to be more comfortable with a minimalist environment, but have a tendency to hang on to anything that may, possibly, eventually, if Hell froze over, be useful. I tend to agonize over getting rid of the most asinine crap... And it bugs the hell out of me.

I have begun to look at applying for the necessary financial aide to acquire my own living arrangements, and also to look seriously at the amount of crap I possess. Perhaps this time I can get rid off enough shit, to comfortably live on my own, in a reasonably priced dwelling.

Hobby

Lately, I keep staying out and it's killing me. It's not that I particularly enjoy being out all night, but rather that I seem to enjoy it more than being home. I bought an Xbox and have enough toys at home that I should be able to entertain myself... But still I would rather be out at night. For the record, I would also rather be out in the morning and around mid-day as well.

In short, it would seem that I need a hobby, to occupy my free time. Does anyone have suggestions?

I haven't posted in a while, so here goes: Friday I went to the first Friday art walk, it sorta sucked, not just because of the lack of decent shows; but also because of the giant pussifacation of our groups self-appointed guide. It took him an hour to finish a beer, and then we couldn't go anywhere till he pee'd. So, all the good shows were closed before we got there. Hence, he sucked.
But the evening wasnt a total loss.Bernetta, and I went and saw one of her friends bands, Bombs Over Berlin, and they kicked ass. I cant stop raving about how good their show was, and I dont do that often... The evening would've been a total wash, if it wasn't for that.
They were an awesome industrial band. I was actually a step away from dancing, the music held the audience in sway for an hour, a rare sight indeed. Like I said, not something I normally do, but they were awesome. It had to be the best rock show I have seen in a long time... Just an all around good experience, muy bueno.









On an unrelated note: I am glad we talked too. Thanks, I am better for knowing that you still care. Once again; sweet dreams, night, love you. Hope it all stays cool
