Party Weekend @ MindSay

...was pretty darn good.  Good weekend, overall.

Highlights: 

- NY Cares Day.  Met up with a bunch of people at 830 in the morning on Saturday and we traveled to a public school in Brooklyn where we pained a giant black fence, re-did the lines/numbers on the playground, played a SICK game of Red Rover/Blob Tag, and then painted a very long fence completely yellow.  I thought that was foolish, but they asked us to, and we did. Pretty fantastic.  Met some really great, fun people:  Lara, PANTHER (you can call him Patrick), Ramie, Nina... 

- When we were signing IN to NYCD, I was talking to James, our IRHC rep/Community Service dude, and we were discussing how my residence hall really needs judges for the IRHC Talent Show.  So he said, "I'm probably available" and I quipped, "Cool.  Well, if you cant' come, why don't you send the kid I don't like?".  To give back story, there's this boy named Brian who is the VP of IRHC (inter-residence hall council) at NYU.  At the first meeting, when there was confusion about my role, Brian came over and was like 'no, you're wrong.  you need to show up every time and do this, this, and this, or you're going to be in bad-standing'.  Not even, 'Hi, I'm Brian, and no you're wrong bah bah bah'.  Just the mean bitchy part.  So I'm not a fan of Brian.
Anywhoo, James goes, "Who don't you like?" and I said "the VP".
And James says, "Oh, you mean MY BROTHER?"
Not just brother.  His (fraternal) twin brother, apparently.  Good times.  Oh well.  It's not even the worst faux pas I've ever done.  But it WAS a nice source of entertainment.  (I'm thinking at this moment of, "my mom's name is ellen!" even though that's not terrrrible).

- Saturday night, I decided to go to Felix's birthday party at Boss Tweed's.  I figured he was friends with my old roommates, and he was also friends w/ my freshman year floormates, so I had a chance to not only see Felix, but to also see other amazing people.
I ended up getting to see J.D., Eric (Ellen's ex-boyfriend, but sadly, not Ellen b/c it was Derrick's party somewhere), some of their HS friends who were HILARIOUS, and then from the freshman year crowd, Darren, Steve, Joe, Suzi, and Betty...who is going to ANTARCTICA FOR A YEAR.  wowowowowwow.
- The guys I didn't really know were playing beer pong for a while, and then suddenly EVERYONE I was with was like, freaking out, or whispering excitedly to one another.  So my first thought is 'hot chick', and then when Steve was grabbing Darren's arm and making him lean in close, I thought 'hot Asian chick'.  No.  I wouldn't know him from a whole in the wall, but
The Kid from The Sopranos
apparently was what all the fuss was about.  And it got to be an even bigger deal when he decided he wanted to play beer pong with a girl.  I think he inadvertently made these ex-Stuy guys' lives.  Especially when they beat him in 'overtime'.  What is that?

- Sunday, the grad students had a picnic in Central Park.  We didn't go too deeply in as planned, but still fun.  I was on the sack-race team that won (Damian and Tati!! WOo!), and we played a fake version of Steal the Bacon, played some BIG BOOTY, and this fun game where we all had to do a move and then add one of our own.  I think there were EASILY 30 moves before we got down to only one kid left (hey, his name was Felix, too! But not my Felix).

I can't really complain.  Well, I can complain about this paper I'm NOT writing right now, but I can't complain about my weekend.  Coming up this weekend is BON JOVI in concert, a sleep over with Erica, MAYBE going to Julie and Jonathan's Halloween party, and then going to LI to see Lisa and then TO AMY'S house for a party.  Oh wow.  I'm excited to see Amy.  I have to miss both Roaine and Val's parties, but I haven't seen Amy in...more than a year?

I enumerated on all the ways snow is awesome last year (on my old blog). Do I need to to it again? I have faith in my readers' intelligence. Hah, I nearly spelled intelligence wrong!

Hey, is anyone going sledding this weekend so I can tag along? Going with my parents (and sister) is boring. Anyone? I'll be nice, I promise. In fact, you won't even notice I'm there. Just ask Megan.

I think that topic is exhausted. The only other news is that December is my new favorite month. There's the obvious reason... (if you can't figure it out, look out a window.) Also, I'm really looking forward to "the Holidays" this year. I've resolved not to worry about gifts too much, and it is the perfect reason to go to a party every weekend! My sister is comming home soon, too. Somehow, this makes Christmas seem even more important.

After that, we send Miranda and Dad off to Michigan and make a break for the north. Namely, Vancouver BC. It'll be Mom, Amelia, and I doing whatever we want in one of the most awesome cities ever for four days. The little hotel is right in Granville Island (if you don't know it, I can't describe its coolness) and there are little "water taxies" to take you anywhere in the city. We will go to art and history museums (happy happy) and literally shop 'til we drop. Any extra time will be spent soaking up Vancouver's tapestry of cultures.

I am SO EXCITED! If there are no presents under the tree for me, I will still have a wonderful Christmas. My only struggle is not to expect too much. This nearly always leads to disapointment.

So... now you know. It seems like I'm talking about myself too much, but isn't that what blogs are for? Ah, the conundrum. The longer I wait to publish this, the more random stuff I'll think of to write down. So I'll just end with one of my favorite quotes of all time:

"You're with us now. Dignity's got nothing to do with it!" -Sid the sloth in Ice Age
