wait. what's updoc? oh. i get it.

so. i went home for a little visit with the family this weekend. it was nice to see everyone. however, i'm pretty sure that my hometown is like a black hole of never getting things done as i got no homework finished. eep! however, i did get some delicious candy, a wig for halloween, and i made some white chocolate covered pretzels, which brings me to my next point.

i know that most people consider chocolate a candy, but i can't bring myself to think that way. i know this sounds weird, but most of my thinking is weird, so bear with me here. i don't see a chocolate bar, or pieces of solid chocolate, or box chocolates as being "candy." chocolate candy bars are different, ad they have other things added to them so they're more candy-like. but if you hand me a hunk of chocolate, i see it more as a baking ingredient. it's kind of in a class of it's own...in that, there's candy (which can include but is not limited to: jelly beans, sour gummy things, regular gummy things, skittles, starburst, juju beans, dots, chocolate candy bars, etc) and then there's chocolate. i know that i'm strange. i would make a chart to help you understand this concept better, but i have no time for that nonsense.

and in the candy spirit, and since it is halloween, i give you...

MY FAVORITE CANDY / CHOCOLATE SWEETS: a lesson in yum

5. twix.
cookie bar, caramel, and chocolate. sold. i love this candy bar. it may be the only one that i truly love, as i've never really been a huge candy bar person.this breaks the rules, thoug. it's not too big, not too full, and doesn't dry out like reese's does. perfecto.

4. bubbilicious strawberry splash gum.
huge, sweet, juicy, and never too sticky, this gum is the perfect gum for bubble blowing. i can get some as big as my head. which is huge. and delicious.

3. fannie may trinidads.
these amazing little chocolates give new meaning to the word decadence. i adore these white chocolate covered chocolate cremes all the way through, and they always bring back great memories of getting chocolates from my mom and dad on valentine's day. they are so good! not so good for you, but hey, what can you do? that's life. eat more trinidads.

2. strawberry sour belts.
a close second to my favorite. we have a love hate relationship...i love them, but they hate the roof of my mouth. thus, i can only have a few at a time. but as they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder, an i am indeed fond of these delicious treats. i guess i could go ahead and throw sour patch kids in on here too since they're practically the same thing and i love them as well.

1. skittles.
my fail safe, my life force, my absolute favorite. i could eat skittles for the rest of my life and be happy. i probably will. the original red package is the best, no matter what anyone says. i even have a special method of eating them. that's love.


other loves: kit kat, shocktarts, pop rocks, hershey's milk chocolate bar, mounds, starburst, candy buttons (!)


some of my least favorites include: smarties, peppermints, bottle caps, wax candy, pixie stix chocolate and mint combinations, cherry and chocolate combinations (ewwwww), peanut brittle, butterscotches, after dinner mints (most older candies, as you can see)


all this candy blogging makes me wish that i was little again so i could run around the neighborhood, pillowcase in tow, racing from house to house to get as much candy as possible before we had to go home and count the stash.

which reminds me of the best pete and pete episode ever: halloweenie.

watch and enjoy.

screw this

i know that living downtown has its perks...right next to school, close to the 'action' (or lack thereof in this city) but i swear, i am so fricking tired of getting stuff stolen from my house by the thieves of this city...i could just scream. two years ago, my very nice bike was stolen out of the garage. then, someone broke into my car, but took nothing because the alarm went off when they shattered the window. then, we got nice cushions for the front porch swing and put a plastic cover over them to protect them from the weather. two weeks later, the plastic cover disappears. and last night, someone stole one of the cushions. i flipping hate the stupid thieves in this city. learn to be a decent human being. it's not that hard. i realize that you might need it more than i do, but come on!

joining the mathletes in social suicide

the hellish midterm is over. and to that i say hells yes.

i had this idea the other day for a band to make an album, but to use lines (or related content) from a movie as their song titles. they don't need to have anything to do with the song content. i just thought it would be kinda funny. like an inside joke.

in that spirit, here's my first one, with all titles coming from the movie "Mean Girls."

1. Oh My God, Shut Up!

2. Don't Have Sex, Because You Will Get Pregnant and Die

3. You Smell Like a Baby Prostitute

4. You Can't Just Ask People Why They're White

5. I Know, Right?

6. I Did NOT Leave Harlem for This!

7. Trang Pak Made out With Coach Carr

8. That is the Ugliest Effing Skirt I Have Ever Seen

9. That Is So Fetch

10. He's Almost Too Gay To Function

11. We Should Totally Just Stab Caesar

12. I've Got A Big Lesbian Crush On You

13. Boo, You Whore


Album Title And My Favorite Line:

And On the Third Day, God Created the Remington Bolt-Action Rifle, So That Man Could Fight the Dinosaurs. And The Homosexuals.

guh

ok so i should be studying for my hinduism midterm right now. but guess what? i'm not. surprise surprise. i'm actually pretty over this class right now. i really dislike the professor, mainly because he doesn't really teach anything and i think it's a waste of my time to even go to class. he just rambles incoherently about whatever subject springs to his mind.

the only saving grace in this whole deal is that he gave us a little study guide type thing. he calls it "topics to think about for the midterm." it should be called "topics you're probably confused about because i spent maybe 15 minutes total in giving you pertinent information to answering these questions properly."

i did deduct (via his ringtone) that he's (most likely) a potsmoker. however, this is just a theory, since his ringtone was dylan's 'everybody must get stoned.' i could be wrong though...he could just be naturally scatterbrained. although, if he was on some sort of drugs, his ramblings might make more sense. or maybe i'm the one that's supposed to be on drugs. i don't know how it works, really, as i'm not familiar with the subculture's habits.


as i mentioned in my previous post, i had dinner with my boss and her husband and new baby on friday. we brought over wine, but it wasn't even opened as they already had an open bottle that they were working on. oh well...the gesture was nice. anyway, the baby was wearing the outfit that i got for it (so cute, if i may say so) and didn't like me very much. if only for the fact that said baby was hungry and i was not providing it with food. i'll wait till the baby gets a tad older to visit again. then it'll be more fun and, hopefully, less crying.

the halloween party wasn't too bad...i was just so flipping tired, i felt like i couldn't shake it off and get more into the party. oh well. there's always more parties. next time will be better.

i suppose i should stop procrastinating now and at least attempt to kick this tests ass. that would be a good idea, considering it's worth 30% of my entire grade. gross.

whoa dudes

i forgot that i had this thing. that happens a lot.

rather than going through the whole "this is what has happened in my life" schpeil, we'll just start at now and go from here.

so i'm at work right now, trying to get through a large stack of work. but let's not kid ourselves, it's not gonna get done today. no biggie, i'll just come in tomorrow. it'll be the first time that i go into work on a weekend (not counting serving and lifeguarding jobs) but i'm about 82.3% sure it won't be the last.

after work today, i'm going over to my boss' house for dinner to catch up and meet the new baby. i love babies. i'm excited to be a mom someday. not today though. or tomorrow, or this year even. sorry, mom, but being a grandma will have to wait for a while. anyway, what i'm really torn on is what to bring over there. wine, or dessert? or do i take nothing at all? this is hard. i'll just stop by a store and see what looks good.

also. i am wearing a vest today. i like vests, for the most part. they're nice accessory pieces. however. i can't decide if it looks cute or if i'm just having a superbad moment...

"take it off. you look like aladdin."

halloween party tonight! i know we're early, but whatever. we need an excuse to dress up and get silly.
