not sure how the rest of you spent your halloween, but i can say mine was a little more quiet than usual. halloween is my sister’s birthday so something is always planned with the family. well, with just nii-san and me with dad still out in the complete opposite side of the world, we didn’t really have much planned especially since dad’s stay extension was totally last minute.
it started out at beni’s house. i had stayed the night there because the night before was the halloween party for our kung fu school. we got out there around 0230 in the morning, and upon getting home, beni played borderlands till about 6 in the morning. i fell asleep during that time. so our halloween started out late. it was already past noon, i’d been making calls to my sister asking what her plans were, and during that, i still hadn’t eaten. blood sugar low, starving, stressed, then finally eddie and nikki come and we head out to first watch for “breakfast”. delish… had a “veg’d out” omelette. sooooo good. and beni let me have some of his pumpkin pancake. doubly good…. got back to beni’s then we drove over to my house to start birthday stuff with nii-san.
nii-san’s friend stephanie joined us later. it’s always fun to have her around. i feel less nerdy when she and ash start to babble about something like buffy or hetalia. haha… i think beni even got along with stephanie too. they had some “nerd bickers/wars”, but all in good taste. i thought i’d be the nice little sister and make nii-san some homemade fettucini alfredo, one of her favourites. i think i need to adjust the recipe for next time, but it was still good. i think mostly everyone had seconds. while everyone was still talking at the dinner table, i started making some fruit jello. which now that i think about it, we never got to eat because it didn’t cool in time and now that it’s not pure liquid, it’s frozen solid. i hope it’s good though.
for the halloween part of the day, we watched “the lost skeleton of cadavra” which was probably one of the best cheese-tastic movies i’ve seen since zoolander. xD it was amazing and we all loved it.
“and together, you and i shall rule this world together!”
oh the cheese… it was so good. everyone should watch it. it should be a halloween tradition or something. kinda like how i always have to watch “hocus pocus”. shut up! it’s a classic! after that we celebrated my sister’s 23 with some scrubs inspired appletinis!
i pretty much never have pictures of me. so this is rare! sometimes being the camera chick sucks. D;
nii-san with our martini shaker substitute (an emptied out voss bottle) and her friend stephanie with the apple garnish.
nii-san and stephanie were going out later for more drinks so they only made their appletinis with green apple smirnoff ice. nii-san was nice enough to make beni’s and mine virgin. aren’t our martini glasses fancy?? *sigh* still sucks how all our stuff is packed away in boxes, but hey. no one complained!
during appletinis we just chatting tons more. a lot of batman related stuff came up as well as spectacular spider-man. hmm… see what i mean about nerd stuff? after that, beni and i had to leave to meet up with our friend dara for party-hopping. also nii and steph were planning to go out as well. we pretty much finished off the night watching mega64 videos. ahhh… it was a pretty good night. hahaha~

aside from that. everything’s going ok…for the most part. i’m not completely bored out of my mind yet from not being able to do ANYTHING, so that’s good. i’ll give it a few more days till i say “FUCK IT” and turn in a few job applications. i’ll try to work. hell, i HAVE to work sometime!! if my doctor still says it’s too much stress on me, then i’ll stop. developing some sciatic nerve pain now which really blows, but i think i can tough it out. just keep my legs elevated while i sleep and knees above my hips when i sit. i think that’s the remedy.
things coming up:
-8th, open house at the wushu guan’s new location.
-photo shoot on the 14th. hopefully i can go this time. anyone want to join? text me!
-17th, appointment with DCF, hopefully going to get some more benefits.
