But last weekend I was home for Fall Break, which was nice. I got home around 7:40 ish so that I could watch Pushing Daisies. It was good timing. So it was really nice but incredibly weird to be home. I missed the puppies, I suppose the parents, and bed. Yum, it was nice to sleep in my own bed. I finally got to see my redone bathroom which looks really nice and quite different, but good different. It was a wonderful experience not to do the awkward morning things like college (you know the whole shower shoes, bathrobe, shower cart, and towel experience) and it was also weird to wake up and not see Amelia.. I was always like ".. where did Am- oh wait, I'm home.. haha..". On Thursday, me and mom got up semi-early (10ish) and went to Linvilla, Antonella's, and Target. Lord, I missed those pies, cider doughnuts and the super awesome Italian food. Target.. well, we have it here but it was good to get more sweaters and such. They've been super useful in the chilly weather as of late. On Friday I got to sleep in and chill at home for a little while. I watched cartoons and cuddled with puppies until 2ish which was when I went to go visit Writer's Guild in HHS. It was funny to walk around there again. I was like I didn't belong.. I was trying to avoid the office area so they didn't see and possibly recognize me. It was pretty intense, actually.. I felt like a spy. I walked around the second floor, looking for WG and eventually found them in the library. I sneaked in and walk super secretly up to them. They didn't notice a first because they were all talking and/ or working but it was Maria who saw me first and yelled my name and hugged me. Of course this caused everyone else to notice and eventually people added on and it became a large group hug. I felt much loved. The rest was fun, I talked to everyone and then eventually we all parted up and we hugged again. Around 4, my mommy came to pick me up so we could retrieve a K-bo. Which took a while... coz we got lost. Thanks a lot mapquest.. you and your weird directions.. oh well. Buy the time we got to K-bo's house it was 6ish and we took the soccer mom van to go to Sampan. Maeve and Kim joined K-bo and I and it was super fun. I hadn't had good chinese food in about 2 months so I devoured my Buddah's Delight. It was a delight indeedd..
After dinner, K-bo, Maeve, and I went to Zeniakon where Maeve dressed up as a cat, K-bo was a dog, and I was the Doctor from Doctor Who. Of course. We wandered around for a little but we found a concert which was cool and then stayed for the dancing. A woman tried to teach a room full of extremely confused teenagers these really intense scottish, irish, and 18th century dances. Needless to say we had no idea what was going on at all. After the confusing but fun dancing, there was a rave.. ish.. thing. The keyboardist from the band played some songs and we danced but as we looked around the room, about 90% of the room was kinda just standing there. Ohh well.. WE had fun. After dancing for awhile, we ventured back home.
So Saturdayyy. Oh my god. Around 1, we picked up K-bo and then we all went downtown where we went to see Cornelia Funke, author of the Inkheart books (one of my favourite authors). I got to go backstage and have her sign all my books I had with me as well as the newest one, Inkdeath. It was beautiful. Not only is she a great author, she's also SUPER cool. So after I got everything signed and we talked a little, I went out and introduced her and the she talked about her books and read aloud from Inkdeath. The whole experience was amazing. I love Cornelia. More. If that's possible.
Plus, we got to see a trailer for Inkheart, which looks good but you can never really tell.. She did have a large part in casting and such so it should be decent.
On Sunday, I got picked up around 9:30 and drove with another girl from my high school to Ithaca again. We had lunch at Wegman's which was beautiful. It was around 2 when I got back to the dorm and I had unpacked and then called home to tell the 'rents I landed safely and then texted Chris who got stuck at Ithaca for fall break because I figured he would be bored and wanting to see some people. It turns that Geoff was already back as well so me and the boys went walking. I went down a path which if we had gone further, we could have gone to the gorges but none of felt the drive to walk down a long hill and then make the climb up again so we kinda just walked back to the campus. It was a really pretty walk in the fall with all the leaves and such and I definitely broke in my new boots! We parted ways to finish up homework and wait for other people to come back for dinner. It was about six and people still hadn't come back so we three went to Terraces and had dinner with other leftover from Fall Break/ got back early. Everyone else got back around 7-8 but it was kinda late by then to do something, especially since we all had to get ready for stuff on Monday.
So that was basically Fall Break. It was good times.
This week was again, crazy busy.. I was basically running around a lot and studying for 3 different things at the same time. Ugh. I had project meetings and Buzzsaw meetings, and homework, and essays, and test and I think my brain brome from reading for my seminar class. Flip, I was so glad when it was Friday. At 4, we all went to the mall. We went to Target, which we spent a lot of time in.. coz Target is awesome. I got one more long sleeved shirt and then we toured around the mall for little but we left around 7 to go the Commons, Amelia wanted us to check out the Lost Dog Cafe. It was the best decision EVER. It was Amelia, Geoff, Christina, Mara, Hinzy and me. Before dinner, Mara, Amelia and I decided to share the Apple Chuntney with brie on toasted bread. It was like an orgasm of Thanksgiving in my moth. SOO GOOODDD.. I had something called Southwest Tofu Cake which was a combo of tofu and southwest spices- like corn and tortilla and those mexican kinda spices on a baguette with lettuce and tomato with mac and cheese on the side. I DIEDDD. IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD. I want to live in that restaurant. All of us do. I tried Mara's vodka pasta (which is like the Gilffity's one) and Hinzy's tuna steak sandwich. Which was AMAZING. I think I like tuna. But just like that. After we all had our dinner, we decided to order three different deserts. We had a cheesecake thing which was cut up and then wrapped in cinnamon and then drizzled in raspberry sauce. It's as good as it sounds. BUT BETTER. And then a brownie which had Purity banana ice cream and carmel all over. Yeah, that was more amazing too. The last one was a chocolate mousey thing with peanut butter in between the layers. MMmMMmm.
I wanna go there all the time now. It's beautiful. After Lost Dog, we went to Mara and Christina's room and watched Sleepy Hollow and then went to bed. It was a good day.
