almost every ounce of me (excluding my ankles) loves the cold, rain, and wind!! thank goodness it finally looks like fall around here. i'm sure i'll take back the first statement when i'm in vancouver and all it's been doing for 3 months is been cold and rainy. but for the time, i love it!! horray!! :)

well, i know i'm probably going to kick myself for this, but i want the rain!! it was so awesome to wake up to the gentle sounds against my window this morning. and all of a sudden, the clouds part and the sun is beaming!! i want the rain!! i know once i'm in vancouver, i'll be begging for sun. i wish it would just rain here for the WHOLE DAY. is that too much to ask for?? i was looking forward to sitting all cuddled up with some hot chocolate, but not with this warm and sunny weather!!

thanksgiving was lots of fun at my house. it's not as many people as christmas, so it's a bit quieter...and i like the loudness. i didn't eat a whole lot, but felt pretty full at the end of the night. teesta's wine was so yummy!! i'll have to smuggle a bunch to canada!!

today is sort of a lazy day for me. i'm doing some organizing/cleaning and being a bum inbetween. i feel like i have so many things to bring to canada; it's very overwhelming!! at least i'm not bringing furniture, but i do have a lot of purses and shoes!!

and, hee hee, this was just too funny!! the best quote is, "They (teachers) don't have a license to hold forth on a particular standpoint." damn, so they need licenses now?? :)

Oh, they had a little party down in Newport;
There was Harry, there was Mary, there was Grace.
Oh, they had a little party down in Newport,
And they had to carry Harry from the place.

Oh, they had to carry Harry to the ferry,
And the ferry carried Harry to the shore;
And the reason that they had to carry Harry to the ferry
Was that Harry couldn't carry any more.

For California, for California,
The hills send back the cry,
We're out to do or die,
For California, for California,
We'll win the game or know the reason why.

And when the game is over, we will buy a keg of booze,
And drink to California 'till we wobble in our shoes.

So drink, tra la la,
Drink, tra la la,
Drink, drank, drunk last night,
Drunk the night before;
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before;

For when I'm drunk, I'm as happy as can be
For I am member of the Souse family.

Now the Souse family is the best family
That ever came over from old Germany.
There's the Highland Dutch, and the Lowland Dutch,
The Rotterdam Dutch, and the Irish.

Sing glorious, victorious,
One keg of beer for the four of us.
Sing glory be to God that there are no more of us,
For one of us could drink it all alone. Damn near.
Here's to the Irish, dead drunk. The lucky stiffs
They had 4/5ths, a 6 pack too of homemade brew... (cal drinking song)


i said it last week, and i'll say it again. levy for president. :)

p.s. i love how the cal crowd would chant, "UC DAVIS!!" anytime stanFUrd got a first down or thought they were doing something good. woohoo and go aggies!!

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seing why I was the one worth leaving (the district sleeps alone tonight, the postal service)

horray for bean and i!! we finally made it to our first hockey game this season!! i was a little afraid when the season started that we would move before seeing my sharks, and then really be trying to save money and not be able to see even the canucks!! :( but i found tickets online and we made it to the game on wednesday. it was so much fun even though my sharkies lost. it was so funny because bean was wearing erik's bertuzzi shirt and all these morons were talking trash about him during the game. but i stood up for him and made some grown man next to me shutup for a while. then he started complaining in the last few seconds of the game that the sharks sucked and how he wanted his money back for the game. i fucking HATE "fans" like this. stupid fairweather fans that have no idea about any of the players, stats, other teams. they just want to see "their" team win and talk about how awesome they were. it took a lot to hold me back, but i really wanted to ask the guy if he could name two players on the sharks. hee hee!!

after the game, bean and i hustled back to the car and grabbed that big-ass poster of cheechoo that erik bought me the last season the sharks played. we went to where the players exit to have him sign it and i was so damn nervous!! as i've mentioned before, it's seriously stalker-size and i was afraid he'd call security over after seeing this huge poster!! but i rolled it up pretty well (so he couldn't see how big his face is!!) and managed to say something like, "i love how you always try your hardest. keep up the good work." it was all a blur, but at least i said something. there were those stupid guys who are only there to get autographs to sell on ebay. we at least made eye contact and he said thanks. siiiiiiiigh. hee hee, bean. don't worry. i will never leave you for him. you are my one and only, you hottie!! :)

today was pretty awesome because i got to see harry effin potter!! i went with my mom and my sista megan at the 1:45 showing and there surprisingly weren't a whole lot of people there. we arrived there two hours early, and there was nobody in line so we walked around for a bit. luckily we went to milpitas so it looks like that was the good call cause union city was totally sold out. it was a great movie, and it just makes me want to reread the books again.

tomorrow should be a nice relaxing day of watching cal and stanFUrd. (and since it's big game time, i can't leave this link out. and probably a bit of cleaning for my going-away party on sunday. at that point, i should know where exactly i'll be moving to and things can sort of fall into place from there. it will be a big change from this unseasonably warm november weather, but that's why i have my bean. that man is the warmest thing, evah!! it's so sad since he went back up to canada yesterday to get things organized up there. i miss him so very much and hope i can get a-moving so i can be with him soon!! :)

and happy three years of having a blog for me. crazy how times flies...

cal band great!!

this is such a cute picture!! my daddy looks so happy...probably because he got to "play" the bass drum. what a goofy grape!! my sista caitlin is in the middle, and i'm not sure who is on the left.



i guess my dad's workmate invited the straw hat band out to sf and he raised a bunch of money for them, fed them, AND passed out gift cards. man, what a great time!!

go bears...beat stinky stanFUrd on saturday!!

dum dum dum dummmmmmmm (caitlin's drumming is on tv!! i can see and hear you, sista!! go bears!!)

i'm not very eloquent with my speech sometimes; i like to be the queen of superlatives and use emotion more than i would like to. this article is exactly what i feel like i've been trying to say for a while. take some responsibility for your actions, foolios!! :)

i can't believe i live in a country where this type of nonsense takes place. please pray for jack and that this system begins to worry less about money and more about actually helping people.

i know this is going to sound so silly, but happy one year anniversary of meeting each other to my beanie!! yup, one year ago bean and i finally met when he flew down to see me. we celebrated tonight by going to get dollar tacos; like we did a year ago.

bean, you really makes me stop and think and remember how blessed i am. i truly have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world. you are without a doubt the most caring and honest and loving person i have ever met. baby, you are beyond anything i could have dreamed up and you will always be my prince charming. i love you with all of my heart and you mean everything. ilymtylm.
