Hi,
Lesseeee… where was I?
Maybe the last thing that happened was Halloween. The last “major” event, I mean. Well, I didn’t realize it was Halloween until about 4 pm when I was grocery shopping, which makes me kind of sad. I did not carve a pumpkin. But, I did buy a pumpkin and will cut it up and eat it. Then I did homework, went over to Adrienne’s house to meet up with the others who were getting ready there and we went to Chris’s because he was having a party there. Stood around. Etc. Went to Stusie bar and danced a bit, but the music was not so good. Hmmmm… there was a super duper creeper there. This guy was just… wow. Unbelievable. But he did not bother me because a) I was not one of the slutty “police” officers b) I did not give him any chance and c) I gave him very mean looks. Then lots of people left to go to the Jazz house, but some of us did not. I didn’t want to pay the cover, anyway. Then…. we went home kinda early, maybe 2ish? Not sure. That was Hallowee- a very different sort of Halloween than the kind that I am used to.
Oh yah, I dressed up as a Lumber “Jill”.
Last week I went to go talk with my Culture and Politics course professor about my research paper. I just wanted to make sure I understood what I was supposed to be writing about. Anyway, I am writing about the “culture” of veganism, the value systems that veganism employs. I’m so excited to write this paper! I started a bit last night, with getting a few notes from Livestock’s long shadow and… wow, it is so in depth. I could get all 20 pages from that alone. But I won’t, because I want to talk about the other reasons for veganism, most importantly, ethics. Anyway, my prof is this really nice old man from I don’t know where, and he’s concerned about endangered tigers, and I told him veganism can help with that and he’s “Very much looking forward to reading your paper”. Yay! A convert? Hahaha
I remember what else happened the week before Halloween. Mum went off to Whistler with Doug and I didn’t know and I was freaking out because I hadn’t heard from anybody in a while and I thought something went really really wrong and nobody was telling me. F-r-e-a-k-i-n-g out. Because I had e-mailed my mum, left a telephone message and still heard nothing. So, I e-mailed the work account and my auntie kindly told me what was up!
What else have I been doing…. hmmmm…. I watched “Nightmare Before Christmas” with Janelle and Ashley. That takes me back. I also got more minutes put on my phone. It is called “Gut haben” = “to have good”. Hahaha!
Aaaaaaaannnnddddd…. I’ve been hanging out lots with Alicia and Mr. Vovchka. We play “Durak” (maybe that’s how you spell it)- a Russian card game. I keep forgetting how to play it, though. Ah well.
Oh, and on Thursday night I went to the Christian group and we sang songs and listened to a presentation which I think was called “Wer sucht wen?” or something like that. Really nice. Those people are nice; much finer folk than I. Anyway, I think I will go again next week.
On…. Saturday it was my friend Monika’s birthday! It was very fun. It was very… interesting. We got there at about 10 and I hung out with Vlad and his friend and introduced people to other people and then played pool for a little bit and then went dancing and I learned this rrrrreeeeeeeeeally really cool dance from my new friend, Muzi (i think is his name, hahah!) and we were all learning it in a line and … i’m actually not that bad at it. *gasp!* I know. I am going to keep practicing. Annnnnd… we left at around 3:30 to go home, but Vlad stayed there with this girl named Grizellda (???? sp ???) so me, Alicia, and our new friend, Lucho, walked back to the ESW and they were both pretty hammered, so I was truly the “DW”- Designated Walker. We all had a good chat. Lucho insisted on giving me his jacket. I wasn’t even cold, just a little confused after that. Insisted. I have never seen anything like that in my life ever. So then we were walking and Lucho stopped to talk with some random guy he apparently knew from before and he was telling me in drunk Spanish and German what that was all about (actually…. the whole conversation we had on the walk was in Spanish and German. and English, a bit). Then we met two of the guys who live in my part of the building on the way back and walked with them. Then I peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealed all the lovely make-up off my face that Alicia had so kindly applied. And I went to sleep.
