It's been a while.. sort of. I have been reading and doing crazy amounts of work that i have never had to do since i've been at school this past week, and it sucks. The next couple weeks are brutal, especially around my birthday. so unfair. and my friend danielle might not even be here for the weekend we were going to celebrate, she might have to go away with the football team if they make the playoffs. so i'm praying they lose this weekend's games. Whats up with my birthday and no one being here??? urgh. I had a dream the other night that I was trying to guess what Ben was buying me for my birthday, and he wouldnt tell me and then said 'its a secret, the ipod wont arrive for a while.' or something. And i woke up thinking i was getting an ipod. Either i had a premonition, or will just be disappointed in a couple weeks. Nahhh... I've kinda given up on gifts this year. There's no time to think about becoming legal. there are tests and huge exams that my whole university career are riding on. Besides, i'm afraid ben hasn't really proven to be an excellent gift giver. He's too stubborn to admit when someone may have a better idea than he does. alas. i should be happy with anything, as it really is the thought that counts. But then, if one is going to spend any money at all, i feel it should be put to good use, towards something i will love and wear/use/admire, etc. often. n'est-ce pas? It's not my fault i'm so good at creative gift ideas. I am really in a pickle now... I have to outdo myself from his birthday and last xmas. But i'm thinking a new watch, or just more nice clothes, because then i benefit as well, by seeing him looking hot. I really am a selfish person hahah.
Friday night, we went to a 'cowboy party' at darryl's friend's place, who is from calgary, which explains why she wanted to have a western themed party. I wasnt western dressed, but emma and i looked hot, in boots. So hot, in fact, that i wore them out the next night. Emma, danielle and I left the party to go to philthys and so mnay guys hit on danielle, who was dressed in a miniskirt, cowboy hat and cropped shirt (see photo.) We told the guys she was our friend from South Carolina and when the music faded we could hear 'she's from the states!' hahah what a tool. Then i went to ben's, who wasnt there, and i wrote a letter about how he wasnt there, and chatted to Cam and he told me i was the best girlfriend he's ever met cause I do things for ben (?) and buy him awesome gitfs (! ha. i had asked if ben used the poker set i gave him.)Cam said paul had lost the set that he won last year, but i think i saw it on ben's floor. hmmm. And hearing how fab a girlfriend I was made me feel all warm inside. and then i ate cam's asian pear. and it was tasty. ben showed up, walked with me home, and crashed in my bed.
We celebrated our anniversary on saturday. it was cute. we were planning on going out for dinner, then i thought that was a bit formal and unlike us in general. then he suggested we make dinner, which sounds romantic and everything, but when it came down to it, the fridge was empty and we both couldnt cook. So i said we should do take out. so we ordered sushi and watched a movie on my living room. And it was nice. he has started to like sushi (i think, he ate it...) slowly i will turn him into a metrosexual muahah. Then i went out to a gay bar with darryl and his pseudo-boyfriend, who actually has a boyfriend (the gays are so complicated like that) and emma and tom, who is now single.. sort of. We danced and it was so fun, cause gay men know how to dance well. Then i bumped into a butch lesbian and she gave me a dirty look, and i was scared. Emma and I came home cause our feet killed (see photo of hot boots) and darryl came home later with some random dude. Lianne had to listen to him all night. hahaha.
I have spent since then studying and sleeping, because i am always tired and go to bed late... and wake up at like 2pm. i should be in bed now....
does anyone have more pics frmo thanksgiving???
