Frozen with a Heart on Fire

Tipsy.

The funny part is that I totally got tipsy with my mother there, and she paid for it!!!

Some of the people she works with invited her out, cuz one guy won half a keg, and my mother being the social butterfly she is decided to take him up on the offer cuz we would be on the Ave anyway.

I got my normal cherry vodka and Sprite but the bartender put in like 3 1/2 shots of vodka in the first drink and like 5 in the second one. So my body is in a rather pleasant state of, "I see my arm move and then I feel it move." I'm still coherent enough to use words like coherent, but my body feels fuzzy.

Just thought I'd let you know.... Hic!

The mighty lord Under Armor!

I am so happy I have Under Armor!!! Without it I most definitely would have frozen my already tiny tush off while I was blowing the 14-18 inches of snow we had in on Tuesday night. I woke up on Wednesday morning and the snow was almost to the windowsill in my bedroom. All this on our first real snow, I'm just worried that if we get many more storms the snow piles on the streets will get so high that you cant see over them.

Although, I am thankful for that much snow cuz it canceled classes on Wednesday!

Speaking of classes I took my Arabic final on Tuesday night, I hope I did alright on it. Thankfully it was an open book final so unless my ability to read mysteriously failed me I must have done fine on it (I don't even know why we took a final, the teacher said that we passed the class regardless.) Next week we're going out to eat for class, so I'll get to try some "authentic" Arabic food.

Next semester one of the classes I wanted to take filled up before I got registered, so in order to maintain the minimum 12 credits I need to stay on my parents health insurance I had to add another class. The class I was hoping to take was a bio course worth 4 credits that would have put me at 14, but since that was full I threw German in to bump me up to 12. So next semester I'm taking 3 languages! Now I just need to keep them all straight.

Hey all! Been a bit since it posted last but nothing incredibly exciting has happened recently.

I just got home from Starbucks, I was bored and wanted to do something so I met my friend Faith there. Now I don't drink coffee, the smell kinda repulses me, but it didn't smell that horrible. She had a paper to write so we chatted as she was typing. It was a good time and Starbucks has really good polar bear frosted cookies.

Today I went over to my grandparents house because they needed my help to put the Christmas tree up. So I'm getting the tree put together its a pre-lit fake tree so I'm hunting through all the branches for the plugs so it all lights up.

So I get everything plugged together and I ask my grandma if all the ornaments were upstairs or if they were still in the basement. She tells me that the box is right on the chair in the corner, now my grandpa is a woodworker and made ornaments for the family for 15+ years. So there were literally 500 ornaments ( a large chunk of which got sent to the 5 sons.) I know there are more boxes somewhere but my grandma is swearing up and down that the only box of ornaments is upstairs. I go downstairs and bring up 2 boxes of ornaments and she was stunned.

After we had lunch she asked me what time I got home after Thanksgiving at my uncles. I was silent for a second and then said "Grandma, I drove you home on Thanksgiving." She goes "Oh god, that's right. I had completely forgot." Now my grandma is 77 so forgetfulness is no surprise but it worries me sometimes that there really should be someone there to take care of her and my gramps.

Hugs!

I totally rocked the face off that presentation! That's not even the best part though, I took my math final before I gave the speech, so I'm pretty much done with 2 classes!

I still have to go to my Ethics class to listen to the other students projects, but other than that we eat the whole time. I just hope they have my final graded by Monday, I'd like to know my score ASAP.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! We always go down to my uncles' house and have lunch there, it's loads of fun and normally involves the family Mario Kart Tourney. I'm usually in charge of keeping my younger cousins entertained, but seeing as they're 13-14 I think they can entertain themselves. Now the only question is do I want to try the strange wines one set of relatives brings or not...

Thanks to everyone who was willing to help me with my presentation! I have a ton of really good info now, and I'm sure presenting it will go well.

Hugs,

Drew

I need your help!

I need people from other countries to give me some of the ethical hot topics their country is dealing with. For example, what is your countries stance on abortion and how do you feel about abortion?

I was hoping to chat with Torchy and Dzyan but Dzyan is offline now and Torchy has been kinda incognito for the past couple days.

If you're willing to help I'll be online til midnight here (thats another 3 hours) and to 1pm tomorrow afternoon.

It's either you guys help me or I have to BS a good chunk (all) of it.

PLEASE HELP!!!! (I'll love you forever!)

Drew

:::(EDIT):::

I tracked down Dzyan and got his help! Now I just need info from 2 more people and my presentation will be FABULOUS!

I need to be out of this house before my mother babyproofs everything... So at what age do babies start crawling?

All this is brought on by my sister having a baby this coming February. We went changing table shopping tonight, and while we were at Babies'R'Us, my sister was looking at all the babyproofing stuff for cabinets and the corners of tables. I told her that the only things she needed to babyproof were the electrical outlets and the cupboard where you keep your cleaning supplies.

My sisters and I all made it through our childhood years alive, and I played with metal toys with small parts! Parents need to teach their children not to put everything in their mouths, not give them oversized toys. Parents need to let their kids play outside and eat dirt and scrape knees, not coddle them until they lose all ability to care for themselves. Hell, my grandpa made it through the Great Depression and he made scooters out of broken roller skates and boxes. If every fear of modern day parents came true none of us would be alive right now.

I also want to know what she's having so I can put a name to it, I'm tired of saying "my niece or nephew," I just want to say one label! Oh and for baby names they've picked Christopher Leroy for a boy and Genevieve... ummm... forgot the middle name... for a girl.

Ok, so I just finished watching the AMA's and I have to say that I'm kinda shocked and horrified by Adam Lambert's performance. I mean his publicists had a fit that he was on the cover of a gay magazine, and here he is shoving a guys face in his crotch and he's apparently into bondage since he had a guy on a leash and was whipping him with it.

Adam we all know that you're gayer than a three dollar bill, hell you're even more fabulous than me! But in my defense I can't pull off the covered in glitter look.

In other news, loads of drama on Friday night which lead to a very nice walk with my father. Assassin's Creed II is possibly better than sex and I can't wait for the threequel. I'm planning on gorging myself on Thanksgiving, and I really need to go see New Moon.

I'm excited that school is almost over! Just 3 more weeks and its Christmas break, now all I have to do is sign up for next semester's classes and find a means of income...

Ok, so me being me, I started to get crazy nervous about a half hour before the meeting. Which in my case means I either feel nauseous or incredibly hungry... I always felt that way before I ran a race in track.

Back on track, I wander outside the room until noon 30 when the faculty adviser showed up. As far as I know I'm totally the cutest guy there, but then again there's only like 4 or 5 college age students in the class.

The president walks in with a total afro and a voice deeper than mine, and it's a girl. But everyone seems nice and apparently I know at least one other member of the group, so it will be pretty interesting.

Oh and somehow I got wrangled into working a table for AIDS awareness... Still don't know how exactly that happened but whatevs.

I damn near punched my Spanish teacher today, he was being a gigantic douche to everyone and me in particular. The class is turned out to be a lot easier then I had expected, and by the time I really noticed how slow it was going I couldn't transfer up to the higher levels. I could teach that class, and I'd be nicer about it than him.

That's my day... now I'm sitting at home watching Dancing with the Stars with my mom, finishing up this post before I go stealthily assassinate Italians.

Hugs,

Drew

Tomorrows the big day! It's all Biki's fault too, she's all "you should totally go find out whats up with the gay support group at your school." So I went and talked to the faculty supervisor for S.A.G.A, Straight and Gay Alliance, and the next meeting is tomorrow at noon 30.

Ah, what do I wear? What if I get a giant pimple in the middle of my forehead?

jk jk I'm not that shallow. I already had my outfit picked out last week when I talked to her :P

I have to make treats for my ethics class on the 15th of December... what to bake... Anyone got any good recipes for something so sweet it rots your teeth before it even gets close to your mouth? I should bake a cake, I loves me some cake!

Apparently I'm a smoother talker than I ever thought. I had to give a presentation today and I BS'd the whole thing, gotta say not the first time I've done it but its never gone so smoothly or believably before.

This post is kinda random I know, but now I'm hungry for cake and the stuff from the grocery store just won't cut it.
