Hallowe'en on the brain(s)

funny thing dude said yesterday that he was in a Hallowe'en mood....feeling Hallowe'enie. noot sure if it was the slightly cooler weather over the past few days (from the previous week of upper 90s) or what - but he was having Hallowe'en thoughts. it's not like we haven't been talking about our costumes for the past 3 or 4 months or anything...sheesh.
then i log in to the face place and one of the things i am a fan of, er "like" we whatever you call it has something to do with spooky stuff in LA. i can across a new blog...The Spooky Vegan - and i decided to follow her! (hi Spooky Vegan) while not 100% vegan (don't have the time, patience or funding) i certainly eat mostly vegan. no meat, no cheese (reluctantly) no dairy, some eggs, sometimes tuna, rarely ever shrimp....but for the most part i live a pretty cruelty free life.
and Hallowe'en? well...i've won 3 costume contests....judged by the elite of the costume world - creature fx nerds - not to brag - but hallowe'en is a pretty BFD in my world. like i said, been talking about this years' costumes for about 4 months now. WAS gonna to that ^ but don't have the cash. so now we're trying to think of something else. i have no idea. i might have dude do me up all gross and dead-like. we'll see.
now i'm all Hallowe'enie, too!! i can't believe it's barely 2 months away!!
but i have a headache....

30 things i like about myself

so i hear/read it's "like yourself week" and i also hear/read that one should blog about things that are difficult or hard to write about...so here we go:
what i like about myself
1. my big boobs, which for the most part, are remarkably firm for their size!
2. i'm not ashamed of sex (which you will read more about as we go on with this list) i like to experiment.
3. i give good, no GREAT blowjobs
4. i like that i can do almost whatever i want with my hair: straight, curly, up, down, knots. etc.
5. my passion and knowledge of music
6. my irrational, emotional response to animals...i LOVE that about myself
7. that i can live without eating meat

9.my big brown eyes
10. my cuban background
(uh-oh, now it's getting difficult)
11. my strong work ethic
12.i have perfect feet (toes are in perfect order, not weird or crooked)
13. i like my smile
14. i like (almost) all my choices of tattoos

(almost there!)
28.i am a completely 100% devoted lover
29.i support the rights of GBLT's
and i wonder what more there might be....
30.i can admit when i am wrong

ok, so i guess that wasn't so bad. maybe since i'm doing this from work, i'm not putting TOO much into every word. an interesting exercise though. what 30 things do you like about YOU?

oops

so i was just reading on a popular blog, that one should not write about work...or lunch. i guess i have done "work" a few too many times, so i'll do my best to curb that. however, i just must share this one little tidbit about the toad that sits less than 3 feet from my face. along with gasping for breath after ever sip of beverage - she also burps or hiccups throughout the day - without even a quiet pardon or excuse of herself.
kinda rude, no?

different levels of BS

so at the new job, there's this privileged little persian prince. an arrogant bastard, misogynistic, filled with hubris and self deserving righteousness. i can't stand the little fucker. he gets away with whatever he can "it's not my fault" is a common phrase that comes out of his mouth. he is never disciplined or help accountable and it's completely frustrating. he chews with his mouth open, talks with his mouth full of food and has no respect for women at all. he's lazy. "i couldn't figure it out, so i gave up" was one of the most amazing things i have ever heard anyone say in the workplace.
he goes out drinking regularly with the department and everyone thinks it's really funny when he's hungover or makes a fool of himself in the process.
obviously sending the wrong message to the boy by giving him nothing but positive reinforcement for his behavior which is disrespectful and for the most part unacceptable.
and he gets away with it. it's unbelievable.
