THE MOST INSANE HALLOWEEN PARTY EVER!

hello. for all my lovely and caring friends out there, i AM alive and well. although i was pretty much hungover for most of the day! ;p

we looking fucking fantastic last night! we all got ready at kirsten's and then the 6 pirate girls trooped over to sorbara and as anna described it, we looked like we came out of a movie or something and there should have been music playing in the background. i promise promise that the pictures will be up soon, i just need to finish the rest of the roll of film. on that note: i also i have pics from the game last night but i'm too lazy to scan them in...hahaha

anyway, back to last night...basically, it was a great night, but it included too much alcohol consumption (i know it sounds stupid but when you're in the mood and atmosphere, you forget how much you drink UNTIL you start puking....) and not enough water, in FACT, the bar ran out of cups and they didn't have any water...which eventually drove me to drink the tap water from the washroom!

in the end, i was pretty much wasted and i would like to thank BOTH aaron's for looking out for me. it was pretty funny actually, aaron (gay aaron) is the skinniest and sweetest guy ever, and he was also drunk out of his ass, but he was THREATENING the OTHER aaron (webster) that if he didn't watch out for me, or didn't make sure i got home alright, he'd get him...which was soooo sweet, but really, he didn't have to do that cuz webster would have done it anyway!

kirsten and the others went to frans after the party, but at that point i was in NO condition to go anywhere but rez, and when we got there, gabe (the porter) was nice enough to open up the cafeteria so i could have 5 glasses of water, and then i stole kirsten's bed. har har!

now, off to give treats to the trick/treaters!

attention everyone...please look at the time. i JUST got home. heh heh

a brief recap of this day:

went to see the raptors home opener....AND THEY WON!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!! 90-87...what an intense and exciting game! i swear that i must have had multiple heart attacks in the last 15 seconds, and they WERE the longest 15 seconds of my entire 21 yr old life. and it was great because i went with a whole bunch of people that i haven't seen in the longest time (which isn't saying much...i have really been seeing anyone other then ppl in my class!) 3rd floor sorbara boys, kirsten, lauren, and the st. joe's gang.

the best was AFTER the game and how i was HOPING to get home relatively early because i have to work in the morning (oops, i guess that won't be happening) and i was getting a ride home from simone's father, but her father's friend insisted on taking us out for drinks....MARTINI'S!!!! it was my first martini ever...and it was soooo good! we went to this bar (?) called jump, and the father's friend schmoozed with everyone there! what a suave guy! smooth operator!

anyway, now i need to get some much needed rest as tomorrow is a no sleep day! hahahaha!!! ;p

damn, this is horrible! i have done no work....ok, no that's a lie, i did my readings for my classes, but i've been procrastinating horribly on my proposal...*insert whine here* "i don't wanna do it!" maybe later....heh heh YEH RIGHT.

went to visit kirsten after rehearsal, she was making our costumes, and the sleeves are soooo big! she could wrap the material all around me like a dress! btw, the costumes look like they'll be kickass, i just have to find time to go over there to have my skirt made. AH.

basketball game wednesday night, and halloween party thursday night...

someones gonna let loose. ;p

whoa...crazy week!
i had that presentation on monday night, and it was horrible! there were 7 presentations that night, and of course i had to go LAST! maryanne and i were just ready to burst from stress, i think that was the worst class ever, we couldn't concentrate on ANYTHING the other students were saying! and now i have to work on a 6 page proposal for monday and i haven't really started any research. GAH!

the test on tuesday was a joke. des and i spent 2 mins thinking "WHAT?!?!? is this test a joke?" and then 3 mins later, our test was done. if only all our tests at u of t could be like this.

i went to the tell el-masha'la info session yesterday b/c i wanted to see if i could apply to go to egypt for the summer. but after THAT, i don't think i want to go. firstly, there's so many other people there (about a hundred) and they're only taking 20 people. also, the weather at the time of the excavation will be up to 45 degrees, not including humidity. the living conditions will be SPARSE, and i'm such a city girl (not that i couldn't live sparingly if i had to, i just like my comforts!) of course, i'd be giving up a great opportunity to go and dig some burials that the group discovered last year, and i think that would be soooo cool!

ooooh, i went to the gap for the first time since i quit last winter yesterday, and WHO did i have to see when i'm in there? yah, that's right, you ALL know who. he's not even worth mentioning here, but it was sooo awkward and i wanted to run away, but he wanted to hug me, so i hugged him and THEN ran away. luckily, i was with avril and she and i browsed for a bit, but there was nothing nice there (well, i was there to buy a purse but there were no nice ones left) and so we left and i bought a pair of track pants from jacob! yay jacob! and it felt sooo nice to just shop! i haven't gone shopping in the longest time, haven't the time. plus i didn't have the $$$.

ugh...i want to just sit and do absolutely nothing. however, i seemed to have found myself playing for a musical and now i need to practice for the rehearsals AND i need to work on that proposal.

i AM marilyn monroe.

ok, i lied. i told flo i wasn't going to blog because i didn't have any time...and then i decided to blog. oops.

but to blog about what? RIGHT....about nothing...about all the work i have to do yet instead i'm doing THIS. hmmm...where to begin? well. i was supposed to have finished organizing my notes for my presentation monday (ok, it looks like i'm a nerd and have it done early, but in all actuality, i have to meet up with my presentation partner TOMORROW and it would look AWFUL if i didn't have my end of the work done when hers is done...comprende?) but i'm just wayyyyyy too tired. at least i finished the upcoming readings for social/cultural anthro....

i have work tomorrow until the afternoon, and then i'm thinking of doing a step class before meeting up with maryanne...which is cool, except it's a level 4 step class and i've only ever done level 1 step classes, so i'm wondering who's the trooper in this situation?

oooh, did i mention i have a test on tuesday? that's right....i have a test on tuesday and i really should get cracking on the studying...except that it's supposed to be a really easy test...35 T/F and they're supposed to be really intuitive and you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right or wrong, so really, you don't have to study and do absolutely amazing on it. hmmm...what a concept...

why else am i tired? because i was up at 7am this morning so that i could be downtown for work at 9am...what's that? i don't teach that early in the morning downtown? i know. hahahahahahahah....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....looks like someone's got a NEW job...now it means i'll have less time then ever to do nothing. i'll be working two jobs, 4 classes (for now...but not if you count music history, which i haven't even started studying for and i really really should...), AND a social life. it's a really good thing that i don't have a significant other to lavish my lack of attention on, otherwise i'd have to end my life. and that would be so wrong.

but now that my eyelids are involuntarily closing while i'm typing...it's my cue to end my misery now. NOW.

bedtime!

i nearly blacked out during my step class in the gym today. scariest feeling i've ever felt. i was sooo tired, but i've never not finished a class before and i didn't think it was anything, so the trooper that i was, i tried to continue on. but by the end of the routine, i was seeing spots...and then it got sooo much that i couldn't see the instructor anymore, and then all i could think to myself was "don't pass out, or throw up....that would be soooo embarrassing!" so i just left the class early and sat myself down to relax. yeh yeh, i know, i'm crazy, flo's told me a million times. ahahahah... but i'm all good now...

now that i've done crap all this weekend, and i'm trying to catch up. unfortunately the weather is anything but nice, and i've got this nice little migraine going on in my head. sigh. oh well. that's all

i can't believe it's saturday and that mom's coming home tomorrooooowwwww....damn! i didn't have nearly enough time to wreak havoc with the car! hahahaha.

grandma's home for a couple of days too. the poor dear. she doesn't get enough baths because the nurses are so busy (what kinda of fucking excuse is that!?!?!?!?) and the first thing she asks to eat is veggies...why? because they don't give vegetables there!!!! WTF?!?!?!?! like seriously, shouldn't these ppl know that older ppl NEED to have enough vegetables for their systems so they can do their #2?!?!? geez! even i know that! well, all i can say is that for the duration of her homestay, she can have as much sleep and veggies as she wants. and i think she showered already. damn transit system...

oh another note...thursday night's graffiti was KICKASS! after downing 3 rum and cokes as soon as i got there (2 free drink tickets at the door, plus i obtained one from JP after he dared me to chug one of them) i was busting out the moves!!! hahaha, i remember tee pointing at me and laughing, saying..."miao's DRUNK!!!" hahahaha. i had this little asian frosh kid following me around the whole evening like a puppy dog...that i didn't really appreciate....ESPECIALLY b/c he's a) asian, b) shorter then me, c) younger then me, d) did i mention he was asian? and e) he's smc. not that i have anything against smc, it's just that at this point in my university career, smc ppl are just way tooo much like family...and you don't date family ppl. i don't care...that's my rule and i'm sticking to it.

i forgot to mention that elections were that day and after counting the ballots are winners are...carlo, avril, melissa, annamaria, and kat! avril almost got thrown over the balcony. this dude was drunk and avril wanted a picture with him, and he picked her up for the photo shot, but after he swung her really really close to the edge of the balcony (we were at the top of ice lounge) and she and i were like "OMG!"...and then he put her down and this bouncer guy came up to him, and was like "yo, that was NOT cool, you made my bouncer friend downstairs mad" and we looked over the railing and there was this BIG guy staring up at us, wearing a leather jacket and black glasses, and a scowl...and the other bouncer escorted the drunk guy out. ooops....

wrote an email to liz. that girl kills me...survived an earthquake and is now taking karate lessons!!!! i told her to take pictures and to send them to us so we can see her in a karate outfit!

but i really should catch up on some much need to do readings...especially since i didn't go out tonight like i was supposed toooooo.....

i HATE my ant204Y1 8-9pm tutorial class. i hate it with a passion....the people in it are very very self-rightous (I KNOW EVERYTHING....) and snobby (if their noses were turned up any higher, a hail droplet could clog it), it boring, useless, and worst of all, there are people in that class that remind me off people that i don't want be reminded of. I HATE that class. oh, and it's late at night and i'm hungry.

hey hey! guess where i am? yup, georges room. hahaha. i just finished my first test of the year, PHL281. was a funny course. the professor gave us two questions last week, and then he told us that he was going to ask one of those two questions today, AND the test is only 5% so if you screw up, it's ok, you can still get 95%. hahahaha. well, unless you wanted 98%, then you're screwed. ahhhh...sometimes i kill myself!

so now that this test is done, i technically could do nothing for the next two weeks! however, me being the goody-two-shoes... (NOT!!!) i'll be trying to get some essays and assignments out of the way for the next two months. that's cuz the first week of december is my hell week. Three tests in three days, plus an assignment, but we'll worry about the assignment later.

nothing else of utter importance, so i guess that's it for now.

so i did the cibc run for the cure, and it was just awesome! there were soooo many people out running/jogging/walking...with dogs and children and everything! the weather was nice and sunny, and mildly cold...just right! the whole experience of running with people is great, and i haven't really gotten off the kick i got out of doing this. i'm thinking of doing a marathon in 2 weeks, wouldn't that be fun?

also, we're doing fine considering grandma's gone, and mom's in australia. mom pulled a me. she hasn't called yet and dad was like "why hasn't she called?" , and it's just luck that i talk to lachlan and he said everything is fine, otherwise we'd all be freaking out and thinking that she forgot to board at honolulu and is stuck in the states somewhere! wouldn't that be an adventure?

i feel like i haven't done any work this weekend...maybe a little bit, but not as much as i would have liked. a combination of procrastination, no mom around my back (well, not that she really does that anymore), and i'm still sick. i've been sick since wednesday, shouldn't this cold be over already? it's more of a annoyance then anything else. it really does make me feel sluggish and not wanting to do work. however, i must say that it's aaron that keeps me going. that boy is a workaholic, and as he's telling me all the essays he's written, and the readings he's done, i'm like....i should do some work too! hahaha.

sooooo......i should do some work.

just wanted to let everyone know that i feel like crap. that's right, who knew that a cold could take me out like that?!?!?!

the day started fine, with me a flo going down to help tee set up for her volunteer fair today. which was a great success, i loved helping them put up the streamers and balloons. THEN i had classes one after another, groove nation...and then another brutal 3 hrs until 9pm. my darling aaron did groove nation with me and he left his book in my bag, and not until i went to class did i realize that i hadn't given it back to him, so i had to wait at UC at 9pm to give it back...and then they locked the front doors at 8:55pm and so that was such a huge hassle, and by that time i felt like the lowest of crap. my nose is fully plugged up, my ears are plugged and congested, my throat is scratchy and dry, and my eyes are watery....great stuff.

PLUS i rode the subway home with this really cute guy that flo introduced me to (he was going to my station) and i'm just thinking, wow you're soooo cute. hahahaha. me looking like crap. yay. besides, i haven't seen any really cute ppl in the longest time...school and work are just taking wayyy too much of my time.

i just hope i'll be well enough for ABT tomorrow. ;p
