Today is officially Halloween, but I think I've already done all the Halloween celebrating
I'm going to do this year. Over the weekend, I attended 3 Halloween parties. They were all fun, and all
different, with different people at each one. With the exception of the person I went with, I don't think
I saw a single overlapping person at any of the parties. That's pretty impressive. Well, maybe not...after
all, Raleigh is a big town. Anyway, for the parties on Friday, I dressed as a fairy cat. For the party on
Saturday, I dressed as a harem girl. I liked both outfits, although the harem outfit was a lot more
comfortable. I'll post pics in the "My Pics" section of this site as soon as I have some. I may go out
and continue celebrating Halloween tonight. We'll just have to see if I'm in the mood...

Wednesday nights are my favorite nights. At least, they're my favorite weekday nights.
Why? Because I get to go out to Aries and hang with the cool people down there. Hanging out at Aries
usually means I'll get a fairy hug, some good brew, and definitely good conversation with people who
have things to say (or rant about). Usually, Wednesday nights mean that I get to go out to dinner
with the coolest guy in the world. But of course, I'm biased. It's good to be biased sometimes.

Be proud of me...ok, then don't. I'm pretty proud of myself, regardless. Know why? Well,
Friday I took the day off work because Vera is sick, and I needed to get her to the vet for observation.
Since I wasn't sure when they would call me to pick her up, I just stayed out of work and did some errands.
I checked both my mail boxes, renewed my PO, deposited a check, returned a late movie, and then I did the really
prideful thing...I cleaned my car. When I say "I cleaned my car", I don't mean that I took it to one of those
automated car washes like what you would find at a gas station. I mean I cleaned it from top to bottom, inside
and out. I threw all the old papers away, I shook out my floor mats, I wiped down all the surface areas with
Clorox wipes (you would not believe how many it took and how dirty they got). Then, I took my car to the manual
car wash and washed it myself. After washing off all the dirt I could, I vacuumed my car, the floors and seats.
It looks amazing. It still looks a little dirty in some areas...what can I say, years of not washing it has
created caked on dirt. But maybe I'll be able to get it spotless soon. I really recommend taking your car to
a manual wash (or at least some place where a human scrubs it) rather than trusting the machines.

Halloween is well on its way. I actually attended my first Halloween party last night. It
was fun, but since it was a Sunday night, we couldn't stay for very long. I was a winged, cat creature
(basically, I dressed in a black leotard, black swimming trunks, knee-high boots, kitty ears, and fairy wings).
I'm calling myself a fairy cat. Cliff went as a swash-buckling buccaneer (if that's spelled correctly). Dress
up...it's so much fun. For the next few parties I'm going to, I'll alternate between being the fairy cat and
being a harem girl.

It's fall break. Usually, I love this time of year because there aren't that many people
on campus. I must be crowd-aphobic. Hmmmm, I'm going to quickly look up the technical word for that...just
what I thought: agoraphobic. Anywho, I'm enjoying the peacefulness of today. However, it seems like the
ROTC or some other organization is doing training because there are low-flying planes over campus. Mind you,
there are low-flying jet planes, so it makes a really, really loud noise and shakes the walls when it flies
over this building. How dare they break up my peaceful day. I shouldn't complain, but it's so loud ::whine,
whine:: Ok, I'll get over it.

The daily routine isn't so bad these days. I get up, go to work, 8 hours of mind-numbing
nonsense, back home, exercise in the fitness center, make dinner, and then either TV or out to a club.
Routine does get boring after a while, but for now, I'm enjoying it. I especially like the making dinner
part. It's always better cooking for more than one. And Cliff seems to really enjoy my culinary
masterpieces. The other day, I said I could probably make sugar cookies out of the ingredients in the
house. His response? Prove it. So, I did, and I ended up making these spectacular chocolate drop
sugar cookies that are almost like brownies in taste and fluffiness. Maybe I should have went to
cooking school...just kidding. I enjoy it too much to try to make a career out of it.

This past weekend was fun. I went to a PJ party at Aries,
and Cliff and I were of the select few who dressed up. Oh well...I'll take any reason to wear lingerie
in public. Besides, I always try to look the part when I go to parties. Saturday, I went to the State
Fair. We took Cliff's guided tour of the fair. I only rode 2 rides, but that's because the second one
about made me sick. Maybe it was from all the food I consumed. I got a bunch of fattening, non-LC items
I shouldn't have eaten, but hey, the fair is only in town once a year. Besides, who can resist a
deep-fried Snickers bar (very good, but you can't eat too much of it). Sunday is of course my lazy
day, so I spent the day lounging around the apartment, watching television. I think I only walked
outside once, and that was to go somewhere to get us something to eat. Weekends are busy times for
me, and I cherish those lazy Sundays. If only the week would fly by...

It's Friday again...woohoo!! But it's not just any Friday...it is the Friday the
State Fair opens. Cliff and I will be going tomorrow to the fair, and Cliff is taking me on his
guided tour. That means we will hit up some of the yummy food vendors and possibly go on a few
rides. I've lived in the Triangle area for over 8 years now, and I've only been to the fair once.
It's about time I visited it again...guess I've just been waiting around to hang with the right
person.

Yes, even I have boneheaded moments. What is the "boneheaded moment of the day"?
Drumroll please...Ok, let me just break out into the story. Have you ever come so close to hitting a
car that you could smell the wax? Well, it might have been the spilled coffee. Anyway, as I already
stated, I had a boneheaded moment today. I'll be lucky if that's the only one I'll have. Yes, I
almost got into a wreck. I was so focused on the lid on my coffee mug, that I about slammed into the
back of a truck. It's odd...I got more of a jolt from nearly having an air bag explode in my face
than I did from the entire mug of coffee. It's all the coffee mug's fault. If the stupid mug was
better quality and wouldn't leak, then I wouldn't have been forced to remove the lid to try to drink it,
and I wouldn't have seen the back of a truck growing really big in my windshield. The endorphin rush
from the near-miss left my legs kinda tingly. Hmmmm, maybe I like that feeling...

Most people don't like the feel of squish. Squish is gooey and for the most part
really nasty. But I felt a good squish this past weekend. I went to the annual World Beer Festival
in Durham. It was a lot of fun, but the rain had turned the athletic park to a muddy mush. As usual,
I was wearing my flip flops. Well, after trudging through the mud for about 15 minutes, I finally
removed my flip flops to carry them. Wearing them wasn't keeping my feet from getting muddy and wet,
so I might as well enjoy the mud like a little kid. I tell you, while I liked the feeling on my feet,
I don't know how people stand to be submerged in a mud bath at spas. Oh, and as for the beer fest, some
of my favorite samples were: Mocha Java Stout (from Kings) - heavy dark beer with coffee undertaste (I
really liked this one a lot) and Hazelnut Brown Ale (from Rogue) - nutbrown taste, dark and rich (I was
on the search for nutbrown ale beers, and this seemed right up my alley).

Fall is finally in the air. Fall is my favorite time of year: the crisp air, the
colorful leaves, cuddling close to someone special. What's not to like? Of course, I need to go
shopping to get some long-sleeve shirts for the upcoming months. It would be nice to get some pants
and long skirts as well. When did I become girly? I never much liked shopping (and still don't).
Well, I can still brag that the latest trends aren't a concern for me. I really like just being
comfortable, and the shirt du jour for me would be peasant type shirts: comfortable, flowy, and
pretty. And I don't really care what people think.
