i could go on and on about my misadventures of the weekend past but, quite frankly, i am still too hung over to elaborate freely on the events contained within the halloween weekend o'fun. i will say this: there are MANY MANY MANY pictures of me smacking asses with my ruler (i was a school-teacher turned naughty by screwdrivers this year). even worse, i smacked an ass with such vigor that i broke my ruler. plus in my rowdiness, i almost got punched by a girl in a slutty-cop outfit. it was tense...... so needlesstosay, i am totally hating the fact that it's almost 11pm the day after and i still feel like complete dookie. so unfair.

but, listen, the tylenol pm is doing a number on my focus & attention span. the bed awaits.

membership totally official----- you had me at "president of the hot chick brigade"!

umm... yeah............ i should totally be cleaning my house. or even working on some bullshit paperwork due next week for ye ol occupation. instead? i have been spending my time just shitting around-- getting a whole lot of nothing accomplished. aaaaaaahhh days off are so good.

the friend is due to arrive in basically any minute and halloween weekend will be officially underway. tonight is pumpkin carving. tomorrow is all about building the costume and then party party. the good news is i have decided what to be and fully commited myself to it. better yet, it is a timely costume and, well, i'm timely........ you know, i think, if there is time today, we'll go get our nails done (really it's the whole cliche that i like about the salon process--- plus i'll be going black in honor of the holiday).

so, well. whatever. i'm gonna run the vacuum and such so as not to gross the friend out-- for a jersey girl, she is surprisingly clean..... i hope you all have yourselves a very haunted & spooky halloween---- and don't forget about the clocks!

i am a totally awesome chick.


(in unrelated news, since when did they have someone come out and sing "god bless america" during the seventh inning stretch??? that is some BULLLLL shit!)

it sucks when you are dreading the week ahead so much that you can not even begin to enjoy the present. i shan't annoy you with my complete crappiness.... instead in offer this:

first, let me say: GO SOX! I have spent more time watching baseball this past week than i have in the past 3 years. i even found myself talking smack about different ball players in daily conversation--- as if i have some real knowledge of who's good and who's not. but they are winning and that is truly awesome. it's good to feel part of a win that you had absolutely nothing to do with!

then there's halloween.... growing up, my mom's hatred of this holiday always rubbed off on the whole family. i remember groaning when the doorbell rang on trick-or-treat night. we even went so far as to turn off all our house lights- inside and out- in order to make nieghbors think we were not home. (we were THAT family--- at least we didn't give out pencils or boxes of raisins) now, though, my enthusiasm for this day has done nothing but grow. i have begun to enjoy halloween-- and all its quirkiness-- quite a lot. there's something so right about wearing costumes in public. and, well, i love me a pumpkin patch! but mostly, i am a sucka for traditions and we have developed several traditions surrounding halloween time. a visit to the local patch, then a pumpkin carving party, and a killer party-- complete with drunken mayhem and many, many people i dont know-- rounds out the weekend. one year we even went to a HUGE corn maze. at night. it was rad.... now, despite my love for all hallo's eve, i am dreadful at putting together costumes. and my anxiety about what i am going to be only mounts as the week goes on. i refuse to make any major purchases towards an outfit and i feel strongly about looking cute in whatever i wear. plus, i'll be outside all night-- in the cold and potentially wet & dirty. (i am such a girl- i know it) all this makes chosing an outfit very difficult.

watched that movie Saved this weekend and it was not good. i guess everyone else knew that but me. somehow, i thought the thing had potential of being entertaining in a blasphemous kinda way--- boy was i wrong. it stunk.... in other media news, i have grown extremely bored with any & all music in my collection (which, mind you, is really NOT a small stash). i have listened my favorites to death and other stuff just doesn't appeal to me. this dissatisfaction is kinda a metaphor for my whole weekend.

back when i had & played with barbies, i had the signature favorite girl & boy doll that no one else could play with. both my girl & her hunky boyfriend were from the barbie and the rockers collection. they may not have made it as big musically as jem & the holograms but, certainly, my beloved two-some had many exciting years together. derek wrote computer games and seana (i renamed her, of course), well, her job was being cute. *sigh*

just look at her with her curly auburn hair! surely someone should buy her for me. seems only right.

the morning was moving on at a somewhat normal pace. i was running late, as usual. hit my alarm about 5 times before actually opening my eyes. ran the tub (cause all i gots is a tub people) whilst i made coffee and tried to quickly pick out my clothes for the day..... anyhow, i hear this *splash* *kerplunk* from in the bathroom. seems the kitten took a nose-first dive into the tub only to find himself sopping wet and miserable. all attempts to towel him dry, though, were met with resistance-- appreantly kittens like towels even less than they like being wet. go figure.

so, one would think, the crazy kitten would take a hint and avoid the tub in the future...... well, think again! he was back up on the rim and circling as i bathed.

i was hanging with this high school gal today via work-nonsense. we went downtown to the local election board to try and make an address change. anyhow, we had to wind our way down to the basement thru multiple hallways, 'round multiple turns---- all very eerie stuff here people---- and she remarked that this whole experience reminded her of some horror flick that i had not seen.

my comment: "ooooh, so youre having a sorta deja movie."

golly... life's moving right along and no witty observations to share. ever since this girl gave me the *nudge, nudge* about discussing work, i have been at a loss for topics of interest. maybe that's cause work is all i've been thinking about these days--- seems i've been offered a position elsewhere and thus daily life's been all about pro & con lists...... and making pro/con lists is a funny thing-- if applied to every aspect of life, the overanaylis would surely drive a girl MAD!

the debate drinking games came to a close last night, with the final presidential debate. all-n-all some good fun was had at the expense of this guy. ooooohh and the other guy too (he's funny too, just in a different, less frightening way). mostly though i'm sick of the whole election process- i think i'll take wv up on their vote early scheme and get the whole thing over with asap.

anyhow..... i have two tidbits to offer you. #1. google is launching a "search your desktop" tool which sounds like a somewhat useful, although dangerous program.

"People are going to have to think pretty carefully about this," Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li said during an interview. "There are some things that you probably don't want indexed on a computer."

and #2. annoy your foes via aol aim. i'm not sure which i find more amusing, the potential messages that can be sent to aim victims or their retarded buddy names! makes me wish i had a better screen name..... my fav: "girlsneedtodie". close second: "big and polish".

happy weekend bitches!

things i purchased this weekend:

the cure- staring at the sea: the singles
interpol-antics
mascara and other assorted make-up items
birthday card for cousin
earrings
sunglasses
coffee travel mug
shampoo
skittles
.........................and 4 meals out

i've been trying to look at thurzdays in terms of twin leads and pure rock fury but these dayz there ain't been much time for that. i had a beast of a day at work today and can't see that tomorrow will be any better. all around me is problems and drama and more problems-- "my families" are falling apart and maybe they are taking bits of me down with them. i've been dealing with everything from wisdom teeth to long term illnesses to a rash of 18yr olds running away. i spend my days worrying that a couple of "my girls" are going to get pregnant or drop out of school and hoping that a couple of "my moms" remember to sign up & attend the parent/teacher conferences scheduled for next week. all this leaves little time for rockin' out and doesn't really make a girl feel young & carefree. (granted it does make me better appreciate the human condition)

anywho..... the weekend is in site and for that i rejoice! plans for this weekend include friday night's "town hall style" debate and a big heap of drinking! can't argue with that. if you aren't hosting debate parties complete with debate drinking games you've been sorely missing out and MUST get to it! it's what 20-somethings are doing these days.

(ooooh and--- following tonight's chinese dinner, my fortune cookie read: You look pretty")

please! someone buy this for me pronto!

woke up early in order to transport a client to a dental clinic, only to find the clinic BOOKed solid. *sigh* round two of clinic trying will come tomorrow maybe.... or next monday... when i will be forced to awake even EARLIER in order to actually get in to see the damn dentist. pure garbage.

in other work related nonsense, i am in prep for a grief group with kindergarteners/first graders at one of my elementary schools. two problems i see with this arrangement: 1. i'm a sucka for the wee ones and will surely want to kidnap them all, and 2. it's a damn sad subject, the death of close family/friends, and i will more than likely get a bit misty myself.

the weekend was good, even though uneventful. not really anything to report re:weekend activities. just the basics. friday hung with friends. saturday attended another wedding (bringing the tally to 5 in the past 4 months). saturday night was reminded of the depressingly-not-so fairytale love story via the movie Sweet Home Alabama. sunday was a little shopping (shoes!), laundry, and tv.

*groan* god i hate mondays.
