Who's game?

So, this is juvenile and silly, but since i've been saying that people haven't been around xanga much lately, I figured, lets try something interactive:

Tell me, if you could go on a date with one of these two, who would you pick, and why? Please note that i'm hoping that guys AND girls play...

And now, because I am a SUPER dork. Or ya know, cause I this this may help.. copy this into your comments and pick away:

Eli/Kevin
Bob/Jillian
Violet/Charlotte
Finn/Puck
Angie/Susan
13/Cameron
Evan/Kenny
Olivia/Vanessa
Simon/Simon
Jonah/Augie
Liam/Teddy

Don't forget to tell me WHY you picked the way you did..

Where are all my Xanga peeps at?

It is quiet around here lately. I mean I know that most of my xanga friends are either about to have a baby or just recently popped one out..  In retrospect now I may have to change my outlook on this though. See, at first, I was super excited for them all, however, had I known it would limit my xanga reading pleasure I would have had to put a stop to the baby making sooner. Alright alright, i'm kidding (sorta).

So speaking of quiet.. this week both of the partners I work with the most in the office are on vacation. This should mean that I can study for my Series 7 exam (which I am now taking on December 15th) while at work. Hopefully this is what I'll need to pass the exam.

It also means that I have Pandora playing quietly at work. And that I can xanga. And facebook. And look at Christmas gifts for people..

In other news, I found a bar that will sell me $40 tickets for an open bar from 10pm-2am on New Year's Eve. Hopefully I can get enough people to go that it won't matter so much that i'm not a big fan of the regular crowd at this bar. The bar itself is really nice: couches, tvs, nice bar..   We'll see what happens. Part of me is hoping that someone else I know will also want to throw a party so that with our forces combined the place will be largely ours. We'll see what happens I suppose. I just put out feelers for now. Anyone want to come to NYC for NYE?

I have to go to a meeting out of the office at 2pm so I better get my stuff together for that. Then, i'll come back to the office, only to leave again at 5pm for my class. At least its sunny out and the day is flying by. I hope you are all having nice Tuesdays also.. and that you'll all consider giving your (baby-less) friend x_naomi_x something to read on this site

This cracked me up.

I haven't been writing much lately. Its one of those cycles where I get behind and then know that i need a chunk of time to update because I have a lot to report on. So, instead of a long saga, lets do this quickly: I had a great time with Hannah when she visited me in NY. She was here for 10 days and we did many fun things. Frankly though, even when we weren't at a Broadway show or watching the Knicks etc, we were having fun. My sister is totally my favorite person in the world.

The week after she left wasn't a great week. It was dark and rainy, I had stomach cramps and I was trying (and failing) to catch up on sleep. This week has been a lot better already. My friend Jodi from high school visited this weekend, I had lunch at a friends place, saw the opening Knicks (vs. Hornets) game, the MJ movie (which was 20 min too long but otherwise good--i was glad they showed how much of an artist he truly is) and in general this week is much better than last week. If only my coworkers would get themselves better moods... sigh. Its a hump day.

Yesterday I started my Series 7 classes (twice a week from 5:30-9:30pm for 3 weeks). I got home late last night..  not cool. The Series 7 is awfully boring (and largely unapplicable to what I do) however I'll try and pass it none the less. Not a bad thing to have on my resume. Work is alright although this week people have been annoying me more than usual. I'm sure its a combination of partly me, partly work stress and the work load and of course, partly those people. Its not a big deal, and I should refrain from writing more on here.

At home things are good... not that i've been home all that much. Hopefully tonight I can catch up on both some TV and some sleep.

This afternoon I'm getting my sinuses xrayed for my adenoids. I have nose tonsil tissue (adenoiditis) which means that I don't breathe very well through my nose, and my ears feel clogged. We tried antibiotics which didn't help much, and so my doc wants to see whether steroids or removal are the way to go, and first he wants to ensure that I don't have any sinus infections.

Well, thats about it for my update. I think i'll leave you with some cute really old pictures my sister found:

  when my sister turned 4 she wanted a large bear. She got this one and named it Diando. Diando still sleeps in her bed (and acts as her pillow)

Me, my sister, and my cousins.. in 199something. Maybe 1993?

My family

When my sister was born <3

and my sister and I being goofy..


oh, and isn't the google logo super cute today?

Yes, I am not talking about the elections on purpose. Chris Christie?!? Really, NJ? Gah. Funny how close the Bloomberg race ended up being too...

Also, if anyone wants to send me some fun new music (how is the New Moon soundtrack? Is the Glee CD good?) or a google wave invite, i'm game!

Does anyone have an extra Google Wave invite they'd be able to hook me up with?
