it was a busy and long sunday.
you know what i like? i like that b and i were both friends with andrew and shannon before we started dating. the four of us sat around in the house of amos kitchen yesterday dreaming up random questions for the "christmas in a bag" game we'd play that night at the living room christmas party. it's really fun and kind of special too. b and i ate plain white rice while the kieares had vegetarian feasts. i find this amusing.
that night (as i've fore mentioned) was the living room potluck christmas party. it went well and the game was fun. the gift exchange as usual was quite the mix of different gifts. we ate well and some drank egg nog. i actually hate egg nog so i didn't have any at all. that was our first christmas party of the night, our second was brendan's work party at the chien noir. upon arriving i immediately regretted not pressing him further on what would be appropriate attire. i'd forgotten that he wears the same thing to everything, and neglected to consider that perhaps it was more dressy then his usual get-up. i was EXTREMELY under dressed compared to the rest of my gender. and in fact, i was under dressed compared to a lot of the guys too. it was very bizarre, most of the guys had their hair styled with products. i haven't been around a group of mainstream peers in a really long time and i was almost baffled to realize they still exist. anyways, yes, i was just in my regular clothes, and in fact, i didn't even have any make-up on (i'd washed it off because my eyes were itchy and while i scratched them my mascara smudged all over). b felt sorry for me that i felt so uncomfortable in my outfit but it wasn't his fault. i don't think i took it as seriously as the other girls, so i didn't give it much fore-thought. if i had i would've been dressed more appropriately. oh well. regardless, we had a fine time. it was quite different to my work party in many ways. for one thing, the cops came, people were smoking up in the back, and they had a live band (ianspotting was playing). it turns out i went to college with one of brendan's favourite coworkers, and even before she and i pieced that together i'd told b that i recognized her from someplace. she's very nice, actually all his work friends are. anyways, we left around 11:30. it was fun. i'd never been someone's date to a work party before.
hmph. life is crazy. it's hard keeping up with everything and i wish i was able to blog with the same consistency - i'm really trying. i know i'll soon get into a new swing of things and that will be good. in the meantime, please bare with me. i know you will. you're good friends :)

and though i was very heavy,
i floated 'til i couldn't see the ground.

i see you've been listening to the ladies lately... have you heard their holiday album?
nice work. i AM on a big barenaked ladies kick at the moment. no, i haven't heard their christmas stuff, any good?
it's fun, and one of my favourites... it's called 'barenaked for the holidays'. my other current favourite, for a couple years running now, is sufjan steven's 'songs for christmas'.
