george . . . billy . . . who ever i am, i am it alone . . .
(that was a vague reference to the "alone" themed songs running through my head . . . george througood (spelling??) sings the american classic i drink alone while billy idol has an unforgetable 80s hit with dancing with myself)
see. this is what happens when i'm left alone.

i do like my job
but everyone else in the lab says things like "if i had your job, i'd go nuts" i think everyone is suffering from seasonal depression (because rochester IS hell froze over) and its making them feel that their life is just a tedious dead end road.
NUTS!
I'M GOING NUTS!!!!!
NUTS!
I'M GOING NUTS!!!!!
cosby thing
sounds fun :)
i hope bill doesn't seem too old . . . it seems like he should always be the age of heathcliffe hucstable . . .

the blog has stopped!
where did everyone go??
i just ate two lunches - a bagel (someone had a meeting and there was leftovers) and a french bread pizza. yes - i am a fatty. but its ok, because both jess and edgar are working tonight so i can eat whatever i want, whenever i want - which means it can be random and small if i so choose :) i might even hit the gym! although it IS tuesday, so i'll need to be home by 8 . . .

i can't wait either
blah.. today like every other day.. never at my desk!!!
well.. julie is coming back tomorrow. yay! today was super boring for me.. but lots of catch up meetings. and i had a really fun meeting with my boss where we mostly talked about the incredibles and what a good price for netflix is (15!)
this week should be fun though.. not too much work and our bir company party is next weekend (yay!) something to look forward to. and nush will be FREE! nush- where do you want to go to dinner?
i think i'm gonna escape work early today.. basically just to work at home, but i need to turn my laptop on for tonight so that they can install this new software that lets me use it with wireless. yay
ok. enough yays.. talk to you all later. happy monday!

my day is totally uneventful
eun's not around. there was a lab meeting - which i thankfully stayed awake for . . .
tonight i hang out with edgar - nothing big planned, make dinner and hang out. i feel kinda blah right now - i think because i don't have anything super pressing to do (but lots of little things to take care of) so i'm just not motivated to be here.
when does julie get back?
i can't wait until december 16th :)

on demand
i love it :)
the best of on demand for me has been just married. i still laugh when i think of some scenes in that movie...
my day has been pretty busy...lots of random emails i never responded to...lots of random stuff to take care of for january investments...

i think i need to go watch season 6 again too :) how is everyone's first day back going? deshaw is basically empty. i think everyone decided to take an extra day off and come tomorrow.

robert
when watching season 6 again robert did make we want to rekindle my black fetish :) if only i could run into a guy like him in my building.....
oh, smith jared . . .
whatever - in the heat of the moment, any black guy with no visible gold and/or missing teeth would make you scream :)
12
i dont think i could scream and go crazy either...unless smith jared comes out :) (i just watched all of the second half of season 6 over the past week or so....)
sorry . . .
it probably would have been really fun.
in fact, its probably not going to be nearly as much fun with dev 'cause he doesn't seem like he'll be willing to scream like a 12 year old girl when the latest pop star comes out and waves. we could have made posters!
ok, i'm being really lazy today. have to stop being lazy. maybe if i keep repeating that to myself, it will work!

my dad thought he was being cute by getting these for me at some auction...little did he know how difficult it is for me to actually go to it!!!
they arent taping
they arent taping that day....
looks like ill have to do it some random week day - in dec they arent taping on fridays, unless dev and i can go the 16th or something..we shall see :) oh well, it was worth a shot!

too drunk
take it easy on me :)
remember - i'm sober girl these days!
in fact, i was craving a glass of wine yesterday - and we didn't have any around. in fact, the only alcohol we have in the apartment is some random beer - left over from when you guys visited. and a little bit of tequila . . .
oh! i talked to yon yesterday :) he's not mad at me! i think i might fly out there in february for a long weekend. it's sort of a tight schedule - but i looked on priceline and there were flights for $331! plus, after a weekend of all yon, all the time - i'm going to want go home :) i just need to confirm that occasional fridays off are ok with eun . . . plus, i need to go to florida for a couple of days in january to meet edgar's nearest and dearest (a trip we were supposed to take in august but broke up instead)

TRL
i still want to go to the museum!
but i think we can hit one museum by 3 :)
is there really an age limit??
maybe i can put my hair in little braided pigtails to try to look young . . . i'm guessing mtv wouldn't look kindly on us sneaking in flasks, right?

and will be all day :)
eun's doing the MD thing today - so i don't think i'll see her (possibly at all this week . . .)
sorry i didn't call back - i listened to the message late and completely spaced on it the next day. TRL sounds fun :) maybe it will be someone i actually . . . know. (i was going to say like or care about . . . but that seems a little too wishful thinking :) are we allowed in the studio? they don't have an age limit that we exceed??? i haven't actually watched TRL . . . in years!
you must be so excited to be in the home stretch :) by this time next week, you'll be a (temporarily) free woman!!!!
ok, time to plot out what i'm going to do today. or go get coffee . . .

megan and rupa, will you entertain me???
i survived the weekend. quite happily infact. it was nice to be by myself. i could have gone out with ameya on sat and random people last night but i decided that after all the studying all i wanted to do was go home and crawl in bed watch a movie then study more and go to sleep...it was very productive. i saw eternal sunshine (i liked it, mom fell asleep, dad pretended to like it but i think he just liked being with me), ice age (which i didnt like, finding nemo is soooo much better, how was the other fish movie?? did anyone see it?), just married (soooo funny! its on demand so i saw it...) thats it :)
megan - i left you a message - i wanted to ask, on that friday, do you want to go to TRL?? i have tickets that can be used any day and ive been sitting on them cause 1 i have no one to go with and 2 i have to leave work early to go so i havent made time...want to go then?? if not i may go with dev before new years....let me know soon cause i have to call and "redeem" them or something for us to go...
thats all from my end :) 5 more days!!!
rups/julie - you guys are around next sat right??? do you want to have dinner after my test? around 7 or so???

now i have a headache from it not going smoothly . . .
i just need to move some cells and i'm done and going to go home!!!!

dont worry i am :)
im not upset about it. i really like that ive actually learned a lot from all this studying, more than i ever learned just working here before. and i know how much fun ill be having in just a week and a half :)
nush, look at the bright side
in december, you have a ton of vacation days while we'll all be chained to our desks!
meg - i definitely feel the same way you do about the weekend. i have a ton of work to do today, but i'm still in a GREAT mood since at this time tomorrow, i'll be flying home :)
i just talked to jackie - the poor girl is bored to death at home since everyone is either working or in school. i think i'd still rather be there and bored than here and working.
ok, back to work :)

i have so much to do :( but all i want to do is take out my books and study...but i know i cant....we have a meeting at 330 then i should be home at least by 5....watch sex and the city then study all night....i cant share the same excitement you have for the weekend megan, but ill def make up for it in the whole month of december :)
hanging out with courtney
that's where i was :)
the peter thing . . . first of all, i can't believe he's been friends with you so long and is still offended by you telling your girlfriends everything - he needs to get used to that one :)
furthermore - i feel like he's family now :) like, before he was a friend of yours from high school. now, i feel like he's your unofficial husband :)
i say like too much
so, tonight is going to be GREAT! i was supposed to go out to lunch with my parents but the computer got broken yesterday in the lab and pushed times back and instead of being ready for lunch at 12:00ish, i won't be ready until 1:30ish - and they don't want to wait around that long. so, they are going to pick me up tomorrow on their way past rochester to go to buffalo for thanksgiving. jess is leaving for o'burg about . . . now. edgar and i bought stuff to make dinner the other night and then didn't have enough time - so we are going to make it tonight. he has to work, so it will be late but i don't care :) we'll get to cook and watch the terminal together and he gets to sleep over - i'm really happy. and then i'll spend the weekend with my family - come back on saturday and relax and back to work on monday :)
i'm in such a good mood - only the bare minimum of work is getting done today 'cause i just want to float around and chat with people. and because the stuff i should get done i can do on my computer at home while i'm watching a movie.
i'm obsessed with the song st. elmo's fire. really - i'm obsessed with 80s music lately. paula abdul is one of my daily happinesses :)

i'm glad i could entertain you :)
- i slept in my room last night, although i definitely wanted to go and crawl into bed with him. hey, what can i say? i like cuddling :) but i decided that was a bad idea.
- i slept ok. i mean, i did think about him/it a little bit, but i slept allright.
- evy called me after he and i were done talking. i was in my room changing into my pjs when she called, so then i went out into the living room and talked to her there so that i wouldn't wake you.
yea, i don't think he was very happy. but, i really think it's the best thing for us to do right now. i think if we tried dating we would just end up fighting and arguing all the time, and i definitely don't want that.
i hadn't spoken to evelyn all weekend, so i hadn't told her the gossip yet. i told her this morning, and as soon as i said "i kind of kissed peter last friday," her first question was "so, when's the wedding? you guys sound like a married couple when you argue."
oh well. he wants to go to the thanksgiving parade tomorrow morning, so maybe i'll go to that with him before i head over to the airport.

what a funny conversation...
did you stay in your room last night? were you able to sleep ok or did you keep thinking about it/him? did evy call while you were in the room with him? he must have been so pissed....

blogger doesn't like me today
I wrote a blog earlier but it didn't post, and now I'm trying to blog
using "blog this" but that's not working either, so I'm emailing my blog
instead. [update: email didn't work either; it bounced back, so now i'm trying to copy and paste my email using "blog this" again]
anyways, my blog earlier was just complaining about how sick some people
are. I read about some woman in texas who cut the arms off her 11-month
old baby. ugh.
nush - alex IS better than us. just accept that and move on with your
life :)
peter's coming over tonight. actually, he's on his way to the apt right
now. I don't know at what time I'll get out - I have a ton of work to
do since I'll be out thurs-mon. blah blah blah.
I'm not looking forward to "the talk", especially since everone keeps
asking me about it. I don't like having "talks". I like to just hang
out and "whatever happens, happens." so we'll see.
jacob's having a party tomorrow night and we've been meaning to hang out
forever, so I def want to go to the party. I think peter thought we'd
probably hang out tomorrow night since I'm leaving to miami thursday. I
mentioned yesterday that I was going to a party on wednesday, and he
didn't seem too excited about that. . .

forever, so I def want to go to the party. I think peter thought we'd
probably hang out tomorrow night since I'm leaving to miami thursday. I
mentioned yesterday that I was going to a party on wednesday, and he
didn't seem too excited about that. . .
oh sorry i meant to explain more
too many people coming over and asking me stuff...
IT lost all my stuff - we migrated to a new server months ago and had many issues then, all solved, and then yesterday they decided that it wasnt done right and needed to do it again, i said ok...but then i came back to my desk and it was all gone - from july - now in this one folder i save EVERYTHING in. and of course all the important information is saved there - esp since thats supposed to be backed up everyday...now they say it hasnt been backed up in a while. aaahhhh
annnnd i remember why i hated/hate alex today...he just has this "im better than life itself" attitude all day today. and he is wrong most the time! oh well i dont care
i took an hour during lunch and went to starbucks and studied...
jules - ready for the talk? :) is peter coming over tonight?
i have ice age and eternal sunshine of a spotless mind from patty to watch this weekend when im alone - so if you guys want to watch that tonight you are more than welcome...
1.5 more weeks....im scared....

confirmation that human's really do suck
i got my second round of samples - one subject never showed up. they are trying to get ahold of her . . . she might come in tomorrow to give blood. which means instead of day controlled by me where i can get some stuff done and leave early, i'll be here all day. in fact, i'll probably be here late because i'll have to analyze it tomorrow and the machine is signed up all afternoon until 4:30. human's SUCK!
human's suck
once again, my day has turned into a waiting game. really, there is other stuff i should get done, but i'm just playing online at my desk. my next round of samples should show up any second . . . my desk is their lateness is due to a subject being late (which happened this morning)
human's suck. why can't they be on time?!!!
human's suck. why can't they be on time?!!!
goodmorning :)
meg, you ARE cute! i miss having you do random things like that for me. like, remember the birthday signs you used to make for people freshman (and sophomore?) year? you're a sweetheart :)
i just spent the morning at the gyno. woo-hoo! she was nice, though, so it's all good.
now i have about 3 tons of work to do, and a long boring meeting coming up now. so. ..don't miss me! i'll be back in like 1.5 hours or so. . .

thats cute!
i wonder if we will do anything for patty....
rupa - you didnt miss much - things were/i guess are good - its just that i have no time for anyone right now, and everyone else goes about their life but he cant cause if we spend time together then he feels like he is distracting me and i guess i dont do a very good job just relaxing for a night and studying more the next day - im much more of a study a lot all the time and take random 30 min breaks constantly to keep me going....
we talked a lot yesterday and i think things will be fine - at least we wont break up as soon as the test is over....we will give it some more time to see what "normal" is like in ny...

good morning all!
gen has been gone for 3 weeks and just got back today. she was in ireland for most of it, so we decorated her desk with green streamers. and i put a can of guiness and some lucky charms on one side with a sign that said "last week" and a bud light and cheerios on the other side with a sign that said "this week"
we're so cute :) (we being courtney and i)

you are not alone :)
i def feel that way too...that i know itd be better to break up with dev at least for a while, but it scares the hell out of me cause im comfortable, and when im not upset, im really happy! that sounds horrible but its true...i mean when i reread my last blog he sounds great - stalkerish and crazy but great...i just need to find my happy medium with him....
ok im chicken shit, and on my way to his apt :) it made me super sad to realize i wasnt goign to see him for over a week, so i called and im gonna stop by and hang out till he leaves for the airport at 7..then ill come home and study...
jules - i told dev about it and he was all fired up for peter :) and i said you guys were going to talk and he just groaned...i think rupas advice for no titles is a good plan! just make sure that the no titles thing also means no jealousy cause with peter im not so sure of that...and you dont want this to be a jackie/brian thing either..the no title thing there is ridiculous....

catchup blog
hi there! get ready for the blog of a lifetime.. I just read the whole thing and am trying to catch up. I can't believe julie and peter hooked up!! hee hee.. at one point earlier that night, when we were at vivek's party, they looked like they were making out in the corner.. mostly b/c peter was standing in the corner and julie couldn't really stand up.. so he was holding her up. I told them that they looked like they were making out and they both cracked up like that was absurd.. but just a few hours later.. :)
I'm sorry the other boyfriends are being ick. I think ti's just this time of year.. everyone seems busy and stressed or something.. but I do agree about commitment. it's a really scary thing. I feel like it's SO much better being in that "what if" stage when you know you are going to hook up but you haven't yet and you can shamelessly flirt or even kiss (i.e. the J and J duo from the hamptons.. I mean J and J and J) but then as soon as something real happens it's like you have to go one way or the other and that's annoying. I wonder what will happen with you and peter, jules. maybe you'll just be friends with occasional drunken benefits.. or quasi bf/gf without all the extras like not being able to go out to clubs with other guys.
I'm thinking out loud as I type and kinda on cold medicine so maybe I'm not making sense (I just read back what I wrote and it doesn't make sense anymore) but my point was that the limbo stage can be really fun.. although it's like eating candy or something where it's at first really fun and really good but if it goes on for too long.. just like if you eat too much candy.. it gets really frustrating or makes you puke :)
anyway.. I'm sure at some point when you have to, you'll both talk about it and I don't think you'll go back to totally platonic. nush.. when did things with dev get frustrating again? I feel like I missed a lot of the last ffew weeks or something b/c I thought things were good and then you were saying that you are close to crying after you see him. why is he being weird about not calling? that sounds strange. did this start ever since that long trip that he took to seattle over his bday? fill me in.. I feel a lil confused. also, I agree with jules that getting away from work and getting to home where it's fun and relaxing will be good.. and things will be better once the test is over even though I think you are right and that isn't the reason for all the trouble.
I love that edgar is worried we will make you single… ha ha ha… :) but I think you are right.. that by december something jules may have joined the semi-comitted side too.
ok.. sending this on b/c now everything I wrote is getting outdated. I just had a coffee date with jules.. which was so fun! back to work.

i'm not hot-headed!
yea, i just talked to rupa and she made me feel a little bit better about the whole peter thing. basically, there's no need for titles right now, right. so we'll probably talk tomorrow, i'll tell him that we should just see what happens cause i'm a big chicken shit and i don't want to ruin our friendship. . .and i definitely don't want this to end in a jackie/este kind of thing. ehh. . .we'll see.
why do things with boys have to be so complicated??? if you have a boyfriend, you think it's overrated. if you're single, you want a boyfriend cause you want someone to cuddle with. and then when you find someone that likes you, you're scared to deat cause they actually like you and you don't want to commit. ok, maybe i'm just talking about myself here and i'm alone on this one, but that's exactly how i feel.

tell him not to worry
i have no guts and prob wont be able to do it...i fall too easily to the i love you and my favorite picture of you is now the background of my computer etc etc...(you guys should see the folder of pics he has of me - its almost sickening...and all he has to do is press F4 and it automatically comes up...4 is our lucky number...gross right?) dont worry im not completely over being mad but im also pretty sad that he is leaving in about 2 hours and if i stay hot-headed i wont see him for over a week...im not a hot headed latin person!!! maybe ill give in and call....
edgar's fear
when i told edgar about mine and anusha's dev conversation, he was very upset and almost got anusha's # to call her and tell her not to. not because he thinks dev is so great (i told him some of nushies stories and he thought dev sounded like an asshole) but because he doesn't want me to be surrounded by 3 single girls while i'm in nyc :) he's a little worried you guys will convince me how great being single is and i'll come home and break up with him :) maybe we can just PRETEND julie is starting to date peter so he's not as worried ;)
(although on a serious side - i have distinct reservations about you and peter dating, the awkwardness and the hey buddy let's be friends line may be better in the long run then the fits of jealousy and eventual jackie/este can't be in the same room drama - 'cause you know all latin people are childish hotheads :) )

im excited to see
how this situation turns out :) this is fun...for us..prob not for you :)
the dev situation who knows...he claims that my studying is putting pressure on the relationship, and i disagree but then again i say that him not calling puts pressure...we are both entitled to our opinions right?
so, this will be over in 2 weeks then we will see...BUT itll start again by march! anyway, we shall see...time will tell....
jules, i think im going to take the time off for him in dec anyway - allen said i could still change stuff it doesnt really matter....and i think ill have more fun if i take those days off then random days where everyone else is working here...

i'm sorry boys are such poo-poo heads
don't be sad anusha . . .hopefully things will ease up a little with thanksgiving coming up - at least you can spend a day away from your office and with your family. and then in a couple of weeks, you'll take the test and then maybe things won't seem as bad.
i don't want a guy to suck the social life out of me! i like being able to randomly hang out with jacob and joe and john and ameya without having to tell someone or ask someone for permission. although, it would also be nice to have someone to hang out with all the time.
i don't know if things have already changed or not. i mean, i do think about him more now than i did before, but i think that's also because i'm confused and trying to figure out what i want. i'm not thinking about any other specific boys, but i am looking forward to going home in a week and hanging out with a ton of guy 'friends' (a.k.a. letting guys take me out and buy me drinks and all), and i don't want to have to have to feel 'guilty' about flirting with other guys. i might just be a big baby, i don't know. . . and i don't know if i can just tell him "hey buddy, you know i love you as a friend but let's go back to just being friends."
anyways, sorry about bringing the discussion back to boys. about desperate housewives: I'd seen a couple of episodes and i liked them, but i've missed it the last couple of weeks. is the hot 'slutty' latin woman the one that was hooking up with like her 17 year old lawn boy?
that lawn boy is hot - and he's one of my co-worker's friend's ex-boyfriend! he's from ct. just thought i'd share that bit of random info with you guys :)

oh no!
did the suggestion of a new subject kill the momentum?
nushie, are you ok??
julie - where did you go?

desparate housewives
(aka changing the subject off of boys)
do you guys watch it? i know rupa does . . . i was in love when it started, but i'm falling out of love . . . its turning into just a primetime soap opera. too much random drama and people dying and the latin woman is a HO!

boyfriends are overrated...
lunch was ehh...i just dont feel it anymore, im just so frustrated, but then when i said bye and actually had to turn and leave and come back was not easy and im still trying to hold back tears - im def in that state where the second someone asks me something ill burst out crying. i hate that feeling - esp at work...
he leaves tonight at 7 for thanksgiving...and wont be back till tuesday....he was like meet me for coffee or come over after work lalala...but why?? what the hell is the point - he will get to stl tonight and constantly forget to call me every single day - hell call once and tlak for like 30 sec and say i have to go to xyz with this person and that person...he forgets what it means to havea girlfriend unless he is bored and in his apt by himself. i hate that...
ok i need to stop - i have to focus on work....
jules, i dont think they are silly - but i also dont think all those things have already changed - i think afriendship that deep and that long doesnt change by one hook up...do you miss him? have you talked to him today? are you thinking about him constantly...those would be more telling signs...or are you still thinking about the guy you kissed at jackies work? or all the otehr random guys that are around?

julie's silly concerns
they aren't so silly. it would suck to decide to go for it and just end up fighting every weekend. and boyfriends suck the social life out of you - my experience. and koo agreed with me when we talked about it.
buuut. the flip side is . . . is it going to be weird now to be like ok, we're just friends. is he requesting the get together and talk time? are all the things you are worried about changing already changed? as anusha so delicately put it . . now that he's had a piece of you - is he going to be jealous regardless of official commitment status?
by the way - commitment is VERY scary, but it gets easier :) i don't know if i told you guys this at the time - but i technically cheated on edgar. i kissed this random guy like 4 days after edgar and i hooked up. it was a big fight that night and then again like 2 months ago because someone told edgar that the guy and i had made out like crazy (which is not true - one kiss) and he thought that i had cheated on him and lied to him. and it took me a while to not have a little part of me annoyed that i was expected to call him and hold his hand and not be flirty with other guys because i was his "girlfriend" - but now its normal :)
on the jealousy thing - george used to give me back rubs all the time. just for like 2 minutes at a time, no big deal. edgar HATED it. he hated that this gay server josh used to slap my butt and hug me. we didn't go out to random bars, so he never got to experience that joy. sometimes i think i compromised too much (no back rubs from george, josh stopped being touchy feely after one too many dirty looks from edgar) but . . . i think its worth it :)

megan - good news!

i cant wait!!!
and - i bought my secret santa person her first gift on sat...i needed retail therapy as a break from studying :)

lunch
i'm glad you're having lunch with dev. maybe now he'll realize how silly he was all weekend and stop doing things like that. :)
argh - i don't know what to do about peter. are all my concerns just silly?
argh - i don't know what to do about peter. are all my concerns just silly?
:)
i second julies - i never did that knowingly :) i dont committ to not doing things unknowingly - and for the record im still disgusted that you kissed merwald in my chair, but i think i got payback by him peeing on you :) hahahahhaa ok i know he didnt pee on you but it sounds much funnier that way
as julie said - i didnt "walk" in on them - i was being a good friend! cause i knew she had this thing to go to..they werent going strong, he was just hugging her - it was cute :)
but jules - i agree with the jealousy thing about peter...we talked one day on the train home and he was like im glad im just friends with these girls cause i hate the way guys are always hitting on them - and i was like yeah but for the most part they are honest with them and the guys know they are just throwing thier money away and arent going to get any, and he was like yeah but i still dont like it...that was clearly before he had a piece of you though ;)
im meeting dev for lunch...he sent me an email at like 4 am saying i couldnt sleep i wishi could just come over and hug you and show you that things arent that bad lalala...im just tired of all this - and worst off im tired of not being able to sleep! i cant wait till 2 weeks from now....

nope, meg - i never got hot and sweaty with anyone on your bed. at least, not that i remember. i don't think i've ever hooked up on any of my friend's beds. .
anyways, she walked in on us SLEEPING at 8am on jackie's bed. we decided to sleep there so as not to disturb nushie poo :) by the way, nush - i don't think i thanked you for waking me up and making me go to the buddy training thing. i definitely owe you one. you're the bestest :) i figured you must have picked up on something - i know you're not blind / dumb, but i felt bad that i didn't get to tell you about it outright.
no, we didn't hook up again on saturday. we started watching a movie in jackie's room and then fell asleep (again, we slept there so as not to wake up anusha).
yea, i don't know what's going on with the 18 year old he was dating. he wanted to come over so we could talk tonight, but i have training again till like 10 or so, so i think we might just talk tomorrow. i didn't do shit all weekend - i need to put away laundry and clean the kitchen/living room/bathroom. . .
jackie thinks it's good if we start dating. i feel retarded casue he's one of my closest friends, i've known him forever, and i don't know what i want. he's super sweet and nice and i know he'd treat me awesome. but i know him so well that i know there are things about him that drive me nuts. he's really jealous - like, if he just sees a guy talking to me he's like, "oh, that guy was hitting on you." and i hate that. i can't stand jealousy. and i don't know - he just knows how to push my buttons and how to piss me off. for real, if we started dating, i don't know how long that would last - and he's such a good friend to me, i wouldn't want to ruin that. i think i'm also just terrified of commitment, and i definitely wouldn't want to hurt him. and i love going out and partying with different guys and stuff, and i know he'd just be like, "so, who's jordan and why's he inviting you to these parties."
i don't know, maybe these are all just stupid excuses that i'm coming up with now, but i honestly don't know what i want right now. and i was too chicken shit to bring any of this up all weekend. oh well, i guess we'll talk today or tomorrow and figure all this shit out.

jackie thinks it's good if we start dating. i feel retarded casue he's one of my closest friends, i've known him forever, and i don't know what i want. he's super sweet and nice and i know he'd treat me awesome. but i know him so well that i know there are things about him that drive me nuts. he's really jealous - like, if he just sees a guy talking to me he's like, "oh, that guy was hitting on you." and i hate that. i can't stand jealousy. and i don't know - he just knows how to push my buttons and how to piss me off. for real, if we started dating, i don't know how long that would last - and he's such a good friend to me, i wouldn't want to ruin that. i think i'm also just terrified of commitment, and i definitely wouldn't want to hurt him. and i love going out and partying with different guys and stuff, and i know he'd just be like, "so, who's jordan and why's he inviting you to these parties."
i don't know, maybe these are all just stupid excuses that i'm coming up with now, but i honestly don't know what i want right now. and i was too chicken shit to bring any of this up all weekend. oh well, i guess we'll talk today or tomorrow and figure all this shit out.
all over you at 8am?
like - you walked in to them sleeping in julie's bed? or you walked in on them still going strong at 8am? i'm thinking its the first, right?
so you started on jackie's bed and brought him back to your bed to sleep? and if you were wearing his clothes - walk of shame through the living room after getting all butt (buck?) naked on jackie's bed and redressing in what was handy?
ok, i know i kissed a guy while sitting on anusha's chair once . . . but as two of only 6 roommates i had through college - julie and nush, you guys never got all naked sweaty with anyone on any of my beds, did you??????

im not that oblivious - come on, i came in to the room at 8 am and you were wearing his clothes and he was all over you - thats not a friends thing...
and then sat night watching football and cuddling on the couch?? i mean i see how you guys normally are with peter...
im glad to know that my studying hasnt made me completely oblivious to the world :)
what about the 18 year old he was "dating" out the window?

latin music
yay! i'm so excited edgar likes my latin music :) i can't wait to go home for thanksgiving so i can stock up on more music - mari is my source of new latin music. i'm also going to steal a lot of 80s stuff and rock from jessie. all my friends have such different tastes in music. . .i love it :)
soo. . nush is probably going to kill me when i write this cause we spent all weekend together and i never said anything, but. . . peter and i hooked up on friday night, and now. . . i don't know what's going on.
yea, you read that right. nush, i'm so sorry i didn't tell you before, but peter was around all weekend so i didn't get a chance to be alone with you and tell you. umm. . . i don't know exactly how it happened. we were at vivek's party, i was pretty drunk. next thing i know, we're back at my place in jackie's bed hooking up. no no no, we didn't go "all the way" or anything. but umm, yea - definitely weird. he was super sweet to me all weekend, so i guess he wants something to happen between us. i don't know what i want (surprise, surprise). argh. i feel so retarded.
so, how was everyone else's weekend?

at julie
just kidding :)
buuuuut . . . .
i now get to listen to julie's latin mix on my ipod whenever edgar is over. he has discovered that they have the same taste and he loves listening to the music she loaded on for me. i feel like i'm a freshman all over again . . .

i like some of my coworkers :)
i just spent the last hour chatting with eun and courtney about nothing . . . it was fun :) the last month and a half i've been on such a rigid schedule, it feels good to be casual again :)
dinner tonight
nush, i highly doubt it'll turn into a work thing, but it's up to you. if not dinner, you should come to vivek's for a little bit ;)
annoying coworrkers

weird james
oh, the socially inept.
so, my cubby buddy is a guy named matt. he's really nice and one of the mouse people. james is another mouse person - so i have no contact with him. except that he sort of feels he's the lsrII (the machine i use with the fast computer) guru because he was the one originally assigned to learn how to use it months ago. i don't think he's really that much better with computers and such than me - he just had a 3 month jump start on me. so, i'm becoming more and more inclined to ignore him.
the reason i say all this . . . the files created by looking at the lsrII are huge. so, its initially created on one harddrive and then you are supposed to export it to a separate one - meant just for storage. i do this religiously (because i was told to) so, james came up here and said that to matt - as if i wasn't sitting here. and then went megan - did you hear that (i'm listening to my ipod) i was like yup - but my files empty. then he told matt all about how he burned all of his info on a dvd (which i was having trouble with the other day and eun asked him about - i would have asked someone else) then after he tells matt he says megan, so you were having problems with it? he just doesn't know how to socialize! i think he's trying to be helpful, but he just seems condecending! i acknowledge i have far less experience in immunology than you - but i understand english and at least a little bit about computers!
ok, that was my rant.

feel better megan!
nush, i think dinner is going to be just me and rupa - although it's after a work happy hour so other people might tag along. . .
i just realized i won't be able to sleep in today! :( i have buddy program training from 9am-5 tomorrow. i can't imagine what they're going to have us do that's going to take a whole day! after that, peter promised he'd hang out with me so i won't be bored. he's coming to this improv show with me (one of our co-workers is in it). i can't wait to go home next week :)

i don't feel good
everyone around me is getting sick . . . and i don't feel very amazing. in fact, i went down and got chai earlier in and when i was walking back up, i felt dizzy.
and for some reason, my lab is really hot today! really - it might be really hot everyday but since i usually work in the human room across the hall - which is vented and closed off from the rest of the world - i wouldn't know. and the human room is COLD (sometimes i like it, sometimes my fingers get sort of numb.)
this weekend i get to go to a 4 year old bday party. at gymboree (spelling?) its eun's eldest's party and i missed her one year old's party and she was a little hurt . . . so i have to go to this one. i'm making edgar go with me :)

we didnt...
i just ignore her and go about my business without interacting with her - im good at that, although it def makes me less productive when there is an issue with a fund she follows and i just ignore it becuase thats better than having to talk to her. but allen knows that, so i just tell him instead of her :)
im glad its on dvd! ill def rent it one of these days...
that would be fun if they sent you to san fran :) i may have to go to lousianna soon to check on this company we use for our background check...i hope it gets pushed back so far that i can go around mardi gras time :) that would be fantastic

dvd
is lauren gone? how did we take care of that problem?
ok - so, once i have the program from dev . . . i just need an external cd burner? is that what we're saying? but. won't that turn the dvd's into cds? which means it wouldn't fit on just one . . .
so, i'm playing with this program. its really cool. a guy came and did a presentation on it - but it was before i started using the program. which sucks! because i didn't go ask him questions 1. because i didn't have any yet and 2. because i had samples that day and decided that they took priority over the q & a session we set up just for our lab. now i'm working with the program and i wish he were sitting here! first off - he was oh so dork-a-lious. very artsy fartsy meets computer geek :) second - (i don't know if i told you guys this) eun is thinking of researching whether she can use grant money to send me to stanford to train with the people who work with this program and others like it. now i have a ridiculous fantasy that that will happen and they'll love me and want to hire me and i'll get to just fly around and be their flowjo rep, teaching people how to use it and playing with it everyday :)

dinner
where and what time are you girls having dinner? is it just you two or a bunch of work people? if its just you guys i may join in...
he said the quality was good - just like a dvd. you know how a few years ago we used to have those big caselogic black albums full of cds? thats what he has for dvds...must be awesome!!
i love that the guys at starbucks know me :) thats what is getting me through being here so early in the morning....
plus when i got here i just went straight to allens office and chatted for like an hour :) he has been in tokyo for a week so i just told him about what all had been happening since he left...he said that he thinks he is upping my bonus by 5000!!! that was pretty exciting :) i sooo want to ask him if alex and i make the same - we should but im really not sure...one of these days im just going to ask allen :) i love that im so comfortable with him i cant believe i ever thought i should leave just cause of lauren...

DVDs / movies
oooh - the DVD burner thing sounds cool! does dev know about the quality of the burned DVDs?
before sunset is definitely on my list of things to watch. alexander opens this weekend, too. i want to see that. when i'm home, i'm going to go with jackie to take her lil' cousins to see polar express :)
this looks like it's going to be a busy busy friday for me. i'm looking forward to the end of the day, though. happy hour here at work, then dinner with rupa, then vivek's party :)

in theaters or on dvd?
copying dvds! megan, dev has a program for his computer that lets you copy dvds...however there is a catch -
his cousin gave the program to him, but in order to use it you need a computer that has both a dvd drive and a cdr drive so you watch the dvd and copy it altogether. so when dev told me this i was thinking you should just get an external copier, but he doesnt think that connection is fast, secure enough for this to work, but if you are willing to try he can give you the program. he said one reason it may work is cause you have an apple and that has firewire which is much faster than regular usb...
those cost around 200 i think...
anyway, food for thought :) (for megan and whoever her secret santa is :)

before sunrise
is the first one
before sunset is the second - and i really liked it, better than the first. it's still very much of the same feeling - almost really time and completely just conversational.
i give it two thumbs up - especially if you liked the first.

where'd everyone go?
i ate lunch today!
that may not sound exciting to you . . . but its HUGE for me :) i normally skip it as a nonessential inconveince . . . so much so that courtney has begun referring to skipping lunch as "the megan diet"
and now i'm drinking ass coffee. no not a misguided name brand . . . just coffee from the convenience store akin to macgregors instead of the espresso oasis - it is not good. i would LOVE a mountain dew. damn those money hungry beaucrats who have banned pepsi's version of ambrosia!
i watched before sunset last night. i liked it! i want to take a 2 week trip through france and italy. like . . . next september ish. enough time to save up/plan. it will have cooled down - but not be cold. and it should be after tourist/college student season.
anyone want to come? :)

i just checked my email and got my secret santa person emailed to me. i love xmas! oooh - it's going to be so hard to stay away from shopping online all day. . .
im at home :)
well at devs place.
i was too tired to go to work so i decided to sleep in, now we are going to go eat and then im going to go to the library to study...thought that was more productive than going to work :)
we havent picked secret santa. maybe ill do with when dev gets out of the shower and just have him pick for everyone. yes ill do that. ill have him email each of you who you got!

i really was here today
but blogger didn't like me the one time i was sitting at my desk. and now i'm leaving. its so dark out :(
coffee
i feel like a total new yorker - now, i always get the new york post from the guy right outside my subway stop on spring street (it's only 25 cents!), and then i get coffee from the street vendor on 45th and broadway (just $1 for yummy coffee!). it's great - i finally found a way to spend all my loose change :)
i'm going to dinner with my department tonight. we're going to a place here in midtown called "the red eye grill". it's supposed to have yummy food from the east and west coasts (hence, the 'red eye'). i'm excited about yummy lobster and good drinks.
after that, i just want to go home and pass out. i need tonight off from partying since i'll most definately be going out tomorrow (jackie and i are getting haircuts, so we need to go out and show them off).
blah. work is so boring. and i just paid all my credit cards for the month. that's always so depressing.

yumm!
our coffee tastes like crap :( and i complained to the guy who makes it one day asking why it wasnt even hot and he was like yes it is and i said no its not (seriously we sounded like 5 year olds) and then he was like wow youre right, ill get it fixed. i was fired up! that was 2 months ago :(
oh well..i think im going to order a free gavalia coffee machine for work and keep it at my desk, i just hate cleaning those things....

a blog!
hello! here's a blog to make it look less boring :)
i am having a latte right now from our free machine down the hall and i discovered that there is a whole cabinet with all the stuff from starbucks to make starbucks like cofee items! there used to just be mocha sauce but now we have vanilla syrup for vanilla lattes.. mocha powder for hot cocoa... and caramel sauce for caramel macchiattos.
yay!

lunch
i just had sushi with patty :) it was good but i hate when i think im ordering one thing and its something else...last time i got a tuna roll but they had this spicy orange creamy sauce dripped over it and it was sooo good, so i ordered it again yet no orange sauce :( oh well, it was still good...
then i went to staples to get my index cards :)
rups - i dont think we will buy anything this week - i think our goal is to get tickets around thanksgiving...i feel like all these places are sort of the same - dj playing hip hop, rb, 80s, etc, random buffet stuff, etc...one of torals friends renting a loft in midtown with 3 bars and unlimited alcohol and is having a party so she is thinking abotu that, but i dont think dev and his friends would want to do that..ill talk to him more on thurs about all that though...

this weekend
i'll be at vivek's party for sure on friday. thursday i won't be able to do dinner - i'm going to LI with jackie to get a haircut, so i prob won't be back until 9 or so, and i wouldn't want to eat that late. how about dinner either friday (after happy hour, before vivek's), or saturday? saturday all i have planned is going to scott's show.
nush, jackie is leaving on friday, and she'll be back the following monday. this weekend is orientation for the buddy program, and then there's vivek's party and scott's show (scott's a guy that works with us, and he's doing a 2 man improv show which everyone says is really good), so looks like i have enough things to keep me occupied this weekend, so i won't have to sit around distracting you ;)
last night we went to APT for a little. erica's friend was dj-ing there (erica is one of my officemates), so jackie and i met up with her, her sis and her boyfriend for a couple of drinks. again, it was an attempt to get jackie out of the apt. it was nice, though. a very enjoyable and low-key night. i forget how much i enjoy going out on weeknights since things are a lot less crowded than on weekends :)

hello!
hi girls :)
nush- i got the email about that party too for new years and it sounds good to me.. actually there are a few coming in every morning so maybe we should wait a week or so to buy.. i got another joonbug one today about something at the palladium?
jules- i'm around for some of this weekend if you want to do something.. i think i'm going to vivek's friday. also, do you want to do dinner soon? like thursday?
i'm falling out of the blogging pattern b/c i never get to just be at my desk anymore.. i'll try and check in every once in a while but i still like being able to read up on all your lives :)

countdown to nush having fun
i can't wait! :)
we have once upon a time in america and you got served. i just added elf to our queue. it comes out today and gabe said it was really good. there's a short wait for it, but we'll see.
jackie and i will probably be going out a lot in the next couple of weeks - i'm trying to get her to forget about bryan, so i need to take her out of the apt and have her meet people. it's a tough job, but someoene has to do it. i think we're going to lotus tonight - it's one of the parties that jordan throws. i don't know how i'm going to do it without a nap. . .oh well, sleep's overrated anyways. who needs sleep?

what netflix movies do you have?
3 more weeks and i can start enjoying my fun roommates....i cant wait!
i'm here now!
I took my sweet ass time getting to work because there really isn't that much i hope to accomplish today. i was planning on getting up at 8ish and go to the gym - sooo didn't happen :) instead, i slept in until 9 and then had breakfast with jessie and hung out until 10ish and then was about 15 minutes late for work - well, when i planned on getting to work. really - no one cares when i come or go. courtney was surprised that i was even coming in today. so, i don't care :)
i'm on the super fast computer for the next hour and a half :) then . . . i may even go home :) but i might stay and do some other work. or i might take it home and watch a movie while doing it! i think i love my job :) :) :)

finally rested
i didnt get any sleep on saturday night and i was worried i wasnt going to get any sleep last night either - i ran out of index cards to make flash cards :( sad right! so i studied some of the old flashcards then decided i should just go to sleep - i laid in bed for an hour! i dont know when i finally fell asleep but i didnt wake up until 8 am this morning :)
i think my brain is over loaded though...its like constantly processing study information - i dont like it!!! when im watching seinfeld and trying to sleep, i just want to sleep!!
on a more fun note, i emailed both luis and jose oscar about PR and both are going to be there when I am! of course jose oscar offered to pick up us from the airport and let me borrow his car :) i love him. ill invite him out to dinner with my fam once definitely and then my bro, vivek (did i tell you guys nalini auntie and her fam ar coming with us?) and i will go out with him after...and another night hang out with luis...somehow it still surprises me that that island is big enough for both of them...

camping
we all realize that by "camping" i mean the nearest town is a 10 minute drive . . . but we'd still be living/sleeping/cooking/showering in a real house, right? just checking :)
rochester and lunch
camping sounds like a great idea! i'm def up for it.
nush, i don't think i'll be able to have lunch this week. the rest of the week here is going to be pretty crazy. sorry!

team america
thats what dev and his friends were for halloween...i want to see it just to see puppets have sex with the girl standing on her head :) i kept teasing the girl in their group cause dev was supposed to be the one she has that sex scene with...it was amusing...
sounds like a fun weekend :) did you get the keys to the lake house??

edgar and the weekend
friday, i went to visit my parents at my grandparent's weekend house (herein referred to as "the lake") it was really nice - it's an hour and a half drive from rochester - mostly on a deserted country little route. i got there and went for a short walk with my mom and the dogs (would have been longer and through the woods but it's hunting season) then, we watched a movie and all fell asleep. after waking up, we started playing trivia pursuit (we is dad, mom, and me) i sucked at it because it was all before i was alive . . . so i convinced them we should buy the 90s edition. so, we drove into town and visited the grave sites of my mom's grandma and her parents and their parents. we went out to dinner then bought the 90s edition! and we back and played it. i won :) it was soo fun! then i drove home. edgar slept over, but he didn't come over until after work (aka 11:30ish) and i had to work saturday morning so it was uneventful. plus, he is sick. so, i got to scratch his back and fall asleep. saturday i worked and got bored at night . . . then met up with chang's workers at the bar. it was nice to go out and see people. edgar slept over saturday night - even though he shouldn't have. but jessie wasn't home at 1:30 and i knew she had to work at 8am so we took a chance. she didn't go to syracuse - she was just out at the bar late. but she hasn't yelled at me - so i think she didn't notice his car. sunday, i went rock climbing (which i hadn't done in like 2 weeks so it felt good/hurt) then we went to this two story co-op place that's like a gigantic garage sale. but its permanent and really organized and clean - so its nice. really random stuff - from crafty to antique. that closed early (since it was sunday) so we ended up wasting more time at an arcade-type place next door. we played mostly air hockey and skeet ball :) we won 100 tickets and didn't want any of the prices - so i asked if it was ok with him if we gave it to a kid. we found this little girl that didn't look old enough to win any tickets herself walking around with what must have been her grandpa. i went up to him and asked if she would like our tickets and he took them. as we were leaving, she was at the counter picking out her prizes :) then, we went to see team america - world police. SOOOOO FUNNY! a little overkill and dumb at points, but overall i loved it.
then i went home and went to sleep.
when i was out, i saw the waittress that wants to cut my hair. i am going to call her tonight (probably - i've been saying that for weeks) and schedule an appointment - so i may have my first paid for haircut since i was in high school!

8 days of vacation
in 1 month seems like a lot, but there is sooo many people/so many things i want to spend it on that i dont know what to do :) its driving me nuts!
3 days are def for PR, 1 day i def need to go to the outlet mall with my mom...and i just want to go hang out at home for a few days...
so ill keep you posted and let you know if i can get the day off...if not, ill def leave early to hang out :)

julie's a pimp and modern art
nush - modern art sounds GREAT! i don't mind $20. if wandering around the museum stops me from mindless shopping, it'll probably be cheaper :)
this whole regular, normal size paycheck thing makes me feel like a millionaire ;)

haha
nush, i love the way you describe the guys!
the fact that there are a couple of joeys probably doesn't make your life easier.
- paul's roommate is named joey. he was over a couple of sundays ago.
- joe, the one i kissed friday, was the one with the shirt. he works with jackie, he's like 26. he's a broker.
- jordan, aka "the one who looke drugged out", is the one we met through rey and richard. he lives nearby, on spring and crosby, so he likes to come over and pre-party wiht us.
and damn, you missed out on the kentucky boys. seriously, it's not very often i say a guy is hot. david from kentucky was def. hot :)
as for dinner - rups, i'm up for dinner any night this week except for thursday. jackie and i are going to LI to get haircuts, and then after that we'll probably party. . .

new years
rups i think ill be here. i think dev is going to be here too and our idea was to find a club/party where his friends and my friends would want to go - if you are interested ill keep you in the loop...last year we paid 100 for dinner, all you can drink, from 8-4. i think thats a pretty good deal and if we have a lot of people going itll be fun...we may do that again, but i think either dev and toral will decide where or itll have to wait till after my test to figure it out...
so many blogs :)
this is exciting :) although i have sooo much work to do...
megan the musuem of modern art just opened - we can go to that! it opens officially on sat, but i walked by it today and they were cutting ribbons and lines of people were waiting to get in...i cant believe it costs 20 bucks to go there though...so if you dont like art that much, i get into the met for free and thats just as fun :)
our secretary is having a huge party on sat night that you are here - renting out a part of a bar or something, ill get details and see if we can all go..otherwise ill have to go for a bit and meet up with you guys later...
im so out of the loop - there are different guys over every night of the week and i cant keep them all straight! was joe the one with the weird shirt? the one who looked drugged out was rey's friend right?
i wish i saw the kentucky boys!

friday off
nush - that would be awesome! i want to do one token tourist thing - preferably a museum. i realized that i haven't been to any museums in nyc ever and that seems really wrong.
talking about vacations with eun - she basically gave me permission to come and go as i pleased as long as she was around (in case random samples come in) except that she's probably going to be out of town for a week in march - to venezuela! (spelling?) she's not excited. if only i could go FOR her ;)

eun sucks the day away from me
i love my boss. she frustrates me sometimes. but she's really easy to talk to - and it's a problem. we talk for like an hour about nothing. today we covered movies and vacations. oh well . . . fun waste of time :) i thought i was going to be in a lab meeting for that time anyway!
helllooo kentucky!
g'morning ladies. i had a very fun weekend. saturday night jackie and i met some VERY cute boys from kentucky who were here for a bachelor party for the weekend. my guy was so hot! and they dressed really well and they were very nice and and sweet and respectful. . . such a good night :)
i just got my flight to go home for xmas. i'll be out the 22nd - jan 3rd. a little bit longer than i wanted, but those were the only dates i could find a reasonably priced ticket for. so, sorry ladies, no new years in the city for me.
meg, i'm excited we'll get to see you in a couple of weeks! nush - we can do secret santas tonight. rupa and megan, jackie will pick out your names and let you guys know. sound good?
oh yea, and i kissed another boy of friday night, too. his name is joe, he works with jackie. nush, you met him friday night. he's a cutie - and jackie says he's really nice and sweet. he's got boyfriend potential, so we'll see if anything happens . . .

i am back!
after many hiatuses.. or hiati? i am here again. i had a really awesome weekend.. i went home to celebrate diwali (the hindu new year) and my dad's birthday. i hung out with vladimir (friend from MIT) who was playing at carnegie hall on saturday (i didn't actually see his show) but we did fun new yorky stuff on sunday. i went to this brunch place downtown called "home".. which was just as good as i remember but the service was a lot meaner this time. we went to mamoun's and to gray's papaya. do you see the theme here? he basically wanted to eat everything NY he could in a few hours. i was too full after brunch to eat any more but he downed one falafel.. one magnolia cupcake.. two gray's hot dogs.. a slice of ray's pizza and a black and white cookie. which is apparently a new york thing. did you know that? i just though black and white cookies were generic bakery things.. not specific to this city.
anyway.. it was a good weekend. megan- i'm really excited to see you in a month! glad you bought your tickets. do you girls have new years plans yet? nush/jules- wanna have dinner one night this week? we could even cook somewhere if you want to do the low-carb-low-cost thing :)

how silly am i
so, normally monday's mean 8:30 lab meetings. but this one was cancelled - probably for a very long time. did i look around and notice this? no. so am i here at 8:30? yes. i'm thinking i need to make a stop at the coffee place and get me something breakfast like!
it's ok, there is some paperwork-ish stuff i can take care of. AND my subjects have moved out of the hospital - so i don't get my first sample until 10am!
ah well. it was my fault for not checking the list.

no posts today??
must have been busy for everyone...i never thought id say this but im glad alex is coming back on monday...im tired of doing two people job!!
11.11.2004
i swear!
cross my heart and hope to die, IM and the internet were the only things working! i needed to work in outlook and excel, and it was being sooo slow. we complained to our systems dept and i don't know what they did, but they fixed it :)
and meg, don't worry about the south beach diet interfering with your weekend. at least in my version of the diet, we can drink as much jack and diet coke as we want!

don't forget!
december 17th to december 19th you are entertaining me! you can all be on your south beach diets as long as it doesn't interfere with my weekend :)
color me skeptical
the ONLY thing working is im and internet?? i find that a little fishy . . . if you added solitaire to the list of mysteriously working programs, i'd have to not believe you at all ;)
so, i'm on the fast computer. with the $80,000 machine. it sucks up some sample and looks at it - it does this at three speeds lo, med, hi. so, i was starting to look at my samples today and it wasn't working. it would for work a couple of seconds and then step. it turns out "lo" is just randomly not working - which sounds like a machine problem. and it was doing this all day yesterday too. but did anyone point this out? no. i had to discover it on my own today and almost have a heart attack because my samples were getting sucked away but the machine wasn't reading them properly. scientists are socially dysfunctional annoyances.

PR
when in december are you going? that's awesome! you'll def deserve it after this stupid test, and after putting up with the cold weather here.
dude, my computer is SO SLOW today! it's impossible to get any work done. the only stuff that's working is the internet and IM, so at least i can keep myself entertained. but i can't get any of my work done!

south beach diet for me starts dec 5 :)
exhausted
i woke up at 7 and showered and studied at home for an hour then came here and thought it would be a slow day and id be able to go to this conference i want to attend all day (more cause it will be slow and then i can go home...) but i think now since i missed the beginning i may just stay here and catch up and go home around 4...
i want to go to brunch!
i'm eating my lunch right now. even though it's 11:00. i forgot to grab a granola bar so i skipped breakfast and i'm really hungry . . . so one ham sandwich it is!
my parents are in rochester right now. my dad's doctor is in rochester and today is his yearly colonoscopy. they are going to spend the weekend at my grandparents weekend house (which is only an hour/hour and a half from here) tomorrow, i'm going to drive there and spend the day with them. and con them into making a copy of the key so that i can go whenever i want :)
i cleaned my room yesterday . . . i love falling asleep in clean sheets :) plus, yesterday was wicked nice (relatively speaking) so i had all the windows open for most of the afternoon and the one by my bed open all night. i love sleeping like that :) and i found out that jess might be partying in syracuse friday and saturday night this weekend . . . which means edgar can sleep over :)
there is a dead fly sitting on the counter next to my desk. it's sort of mesmorizing.

brunch
brunch sunday sounds good if you guys are free. megan, at what time should we be expecting you ;) i miss the "sex and the city" brunches we used to have in the aphi kitchen. ahhh...good ol' times.
anyways, it's 10:20 and i've already had my workout for the day :) and although i feel wide awake and energized, i really don't want to be at work right now. i just want to go home and crawl in my bed. blah.
ok ladies, time to work. enjoy your thursdays :)

no real plans
but breaks tend to happen regardless...
if you guys are up for brunch sunday id be willing to take a break for that...if i get a lot done i may try to squeeze in mean girls. i think my parents may stop by sat on their way to the airport (they are going to brazil for a conference...) i really want them to take the papazon chair out of my room so i hope they do come...

lunch
yea nush, you're right on the no-carb thing. mondays and tuesdays tend to be really busy for me, so i doubt i could do lunch on those days. will you be free later on in the week? rups, how about you?
nush - you're almost done studying for the test! do you have any plans for the weekend besides studying?
nush - you're almost done studying for the test! do you have any plans for the weekend besides studying?
carbs
jules - no rest these days could survive without an atkins friendly menu!! even mcdonalds! chipotle has a salad type option with everything minus the bread and rice!!! so when you do have some time...
im free monday for lunch if you and rupa want to meet - it doesnt have to be chipotle..just want to spend time with you guys :)
i went to helga - i still like my job much better after seeing what she has to do :) and i got my nails done :) studying makes me want to bite my nails and i hate that so at least till the test i want to get manicures once every 2 weeks...

wednesday morning
recruiting sucks. . .everything is so busy all of a sudden. i wish we could go back to summer when things were a lot less hectic. why does everyone want a job here???
anyways, i hung out with rupa for a bit this morning :) i went to get my eyebrows threaded for the first time, so now they're bright red! (my skin is pretty sensitive). it didn't hurt much, though. i think it might be just a little less painful than waxing. anyways, rupa rocks cause she came with me, then treated me to starbucks. i felt like a little kid who gets a popsicle after going to the doctor's :)
nush, i'm going to have to pass on lunch. i brought a sandwich, and i'm way too busy to step away from my desk for too long. also, chipotle isn't south beach diet approved ;) unless they use whole wheat tortillas.. . .
ok, back to work. blah blah blah

looks like its going to be another late night here :(

nadjia - nadia?
how do you spell her name? she was friends with like punita and allison i think - the girls in next house. she was friends with ramos i think, hung out with kappa sigs. ekta told me he hooked up with her. and with jyoti. who was he dating when we first met him? was it someone from home?
bripas
so, koo told me he turned into a big whore after the break up with the girl he was dating when we met him. i forget who she told me he hooked up with . . . but i was thoroughly offended
me too!
i have no idea where all my winter stuff is. i dug out my winter coat this morning for the first time all year. sad.
11.08.2004
i didn't know she was smart
looks like she did pretty well at mit - i'm surprised she doesn't have a job already.
paul is a guy that works with jackie and he has a huge fat crush on her. poor guy - he's really cool and cute and funny and stuff. she's just not into him. she says she doesn't want to date anyone from work, but i'm sure it also has to do with her feelings for bryan. anyways, we hang out with paul a lot. i think joey might have a crush on me, too. we met up with him and joey the night of halloween. after a thousand jacks and coke, i decided it was ok to let joey kiss me. oh well.
oooh - i didn't tell you guys. so, of course i spent all weekend with mit people cause of ekta. sat. night we met up with bripas and a few other guys. yea, he was hitting on me pretty hard core. it was so weird! ekta and jen chen were convinced we were going to hook up cause we were just dancing together and pretty close the whole time and stuff. he kept putting his face really close to mine to like kiss me, but i kept turning away. i don't know why, but i've just never seen brian like that. it was strange. he was like "how come we never hung out at mit?". odd.

lia tremont
is she the girl that dated ko (sp?)? the girl that carried alcohol in her purse at all times? she's applying here as a quant. . . .
last night paul and his roommate, joey came over. we pretended to watch desperate housewives, but then we got distracted with our margaritas instead. after we ran out of margarita mix, we moved on to screwdrivers and jacks and coke. seemed like a good idea at the time. . .

today sucks
not tons of meeting, but way too much work. and i've been feeling sleep deprived and hungover all morning, so everything is taking me like 10 times longer to finish than it should. i'll write more later, but yes, i should be here that weekend.
Dec 17-19
im free then too. provided i dont go on vacation, but if you are coming then ill def stay in NY that weekend. i think you should go to the bday party...if that weekend in Dec doesnt work, maybe we can do it first thing in Jan???
thats fun about you and edgar :) i love days like that....
thats fun about you and edgar :) i love days like that....
because there has to be hurdles
so, i didn't get tickets yet.
eun's fine with me taking that friday off - then i get home last night and my aunt called me to say she is throwing a suprise party for my grandma's (my dad's mom) 75th bday december 11th. i'm going to talk to my parents tonight and ask if i really have to go to that. i don't really want to. i'd rather make myself responsible for going to visit her after i get back and taking her out to dinner. my mom and dad will tell me one way or another whether i should go or not. i don't suppose you guys are available the next weekend . . .?
i forgot to tell you about my sunday :)
so, i had to come to the lab yesterday (saturday as well actually) samples were drawn early just for me because the stomp tickets edgar got me for my bday were for a show at 2. i actually finished everything i needed to do in the lab yesterday by 12:30 - so it was perfect (i got to the lab at 7:45) so, edgar and i went to stomp - it was awesome, i loved it! then, edgar and i went back to my apartment and hung out for a while because jessie was working all day yesterday. then, we went to wegman's to get eun's cats cat food (i'm taking care of them until she comes back from nyc on tuesday) and dinner. then, we went to eun's house and took care of them and ate and watched tv (eun has satellite and a big screen and told me to make use of her house) it was soo nice because i hadn't seen him since thursday. then, we got coffee. by this time it was 10:30 at night and the coffee shop was closing soon so we drank our frappes driving around in my car aimlessly. it was so nice to hang out with him all day! i didn't realize how much i missed him after two days of not seeing him.
AND i get to see him for the next two days because jessie is working tonight and tomorrow night :) then, i'll have the day off on wednesday (the first day i don't have to go into the lab since last tuesday) which is also jessie's day off - so i scheduled bonding time with her then. i'm in such an awesome mood :)
plus, i went shopping on saturday :) i got two pairs of corduroys, a sweater, a zippy front shirt thing, and two normal shirts from h&m. i'm wearing the orange corduroys and the sweater today :) and flip flops . . . even though its 38 degrees out and supposed to snow :)
ok, i think the machine might be free now to check out my samples and then i can go home :)

best mood :)
this weekend was one of the most fun ive had in a long time!! fri night we (my cousin, me, julie, rupa, vivek (one of rupas friends), ekta, and her friend megan) went out to dinner and then to a few bars. rupa and i wanted to rip our hair out when we were around ekta but luckily she wanted to go meet up with other people so we got to avoid her for about an hour or so. that was the best part of the night :) julie got roped in to going with her....
sat morn my cousin dev and i went to philly...just lazed around all day then went out to dinner and drinking again. it was great :) sunday we were on a train at 7 am to get back cause my cousin left for india last night. unfortunately ekta was awake when we got home and since julie was sleeping i had to entertain her. and somehow she decided she was coming to brunch with us...she was so annoying, the whole time!!! youd think that spending less than 10 hours with someone would be manageable, but even prashant was like "you are friends with her??" i had to repeatedly tell prashant and vivek that i cant stand her...
anyway then dev and i just laid in bed all day watching tv and falling in and out of sleep. it was wonderful :) we went to olive garden with his roommates which was also fun. he left today for orlando and will be back on friday...
thats all from my end...
megan we didnt pick secret santas...we will figure that out this week and let you know...did you get tickets? are you def coming thurs - sunday?

heeeelllllloooooo out there :)
happy monday my darlings :)
did we pick secret santas yet? because i think that's a great idea and i am anxiously awaiting jackie's email telling me who mine is :)
how was the weekend with ekta? i still think julie should have revealed her little secret - just to shatter ekta's little perfect world
and my deadly sin is pride :)

I'm down to do secret santas. we'll pick names the weekend in december
when megan's here?
rupa - do you know if rooz is having a bday party this year? are you
still "not planning" to go to boston that weekend? meg, I guess it's
kind of stupid to ask you if you're going to boston since you were just
there this past weekend. . .
either way, I think I'll go to boston that weekend. I wanna see gabe
and just hang out there again.. .i miss boston sometimes

my warm fuzzy of the day
starbucks has their holiday cups out already! I love x-mas :)
oh yea, and peter decided he's taking the job with wachovia, so he's
going to move into the city! I think he starts on monday. I don't know
what he's doing exactly, but he's excited. no more free cruises, though
:( their office is kinda close to our apt - on 15th street, somewhere
close to the C/E.
and evelyn has her phone interview with GE today. I'm keeping my
fingers crossed. . .

eggs benedict
i had eggs benedict at mercer kitchen last saturday. they were def yummy. nush, make sure you request it without meat, though, cause it comes with ham.
so i just took this test to figure out what my deadly sin is, and i got greed. i'm not sure i agree, but oh well. anyways, you guys should do it and see what you get. katy said rupa took it, and her deadly sin is envy.

eggs benedict
crappy eggs benedict tastes really bad. i think its something you can easily screw up . . .
but good eggs benedict is really good - possibly my favorite way to order eggs :)
but good eggs benedict is really good - possibly my favorite way to order eggs :)
yup :)
i didnt know the name hollandaise, but i knew it had some sauce on it :) and when he asked what it tasted like i had no idea...but i know mercer kitchen has that and toral says its really good (better than their pancakes which i cant believe...) so maybe we will try it out sometime :)
eggs
sunny side up is fried eggs - with the yolk side facing up (yellow . . hence the sunny part)
poached eggs are boiled - sort of. you like put a cracked open egg like you were going to fry it . . . only into a pot of boiling water.
eggs benedict is an english muffin, i think a piece of ham - but maybe it doesn't require meat . . . a poached egg all covered in hollandaise sauce.
is that sort of what you told him? :)

im here too :)
i had a good night - i went home at like 630, had awesome leftover indian food that my mom gave me, watched seinfeld and then studied. it was so quiet and i got a ton done. which was necessary cause my cousin is comign tonight so i wont really get to study again until sunday....
i think sunday im going to basically move into dev's apt until the exam (minus when it is raining cause the rain hits his ac so hard that i cant sleep...). its much more quiet there and his roommates are usually not around, but neither is he and thats kinda of depressing...we shall see...
what is the difference between eggs benedict, sunny side up, poached, etc? i tried explaining to dev but really i just made things up and he bought it :)

i'm here!
talking to yourself never seemed to bother you before, megan. don't stop now!
i got to work like 20 minutes ago. free wine is probably not a good idea on a weekday. i mean, i was home and in bed by like 10:30, so i definitely got more than enough sleep. too bad i wanted to tear my head off and rip out my stomach this morning. yea, box wine gives really bad hangovers. but i have my starbucks now and i'm ready to talk to you, megan :)
you can definitely bring edgar that weekend. there's more than enough room for both of you at our apt. meg, i want to have your chili and go to the movies with you! what movie are you going to? i really want to see motorcycle diaries. maybe i'll go to a matinee this weekend.

going so slow!
ok, i don't know what else to do on the internet.
it's probably good i'm away from my desk and don't have a credit card or anything with me . . . i'd start shopping out of boredom.
SAVE ME!!!

alas . . .
no response.
that's fine with me. i'm sitting down here at the speedy computer and my samples are going reeeaaalllly slow . . . so, i'm playing on the internet while the computer works.
i looked at plane tickets last night. jessie made the good point that i should check with the bf and see if he wants to come too . . . thought i'd check with you guys :)
i think if i don't go to the movie tonight i am going to make chili . . . in fact, even if i do go, i might make it anyway . . .
see. this sort of feels like i'm talking to myself. i'm going to stop now . .

breakfast
i'm craving eggs alaska . . .
what is that, you ask?
a diner down the street from my house serves eggs benedict, only with fake crab meet instead. i haven't gone there in a really long time and i'm craving it!
just thought i'd share :)

yea, i love this time of the year too :) i don't think you have to go through the hassle of bringing your stuff from home - i'd like to get a real tree. they smell so much better! we've always had a real tree at home, so i think that'll be nice.
i'm so excited that you're almost all done with studying. you deserve a break!

i'm glad we're all hanging out friday night. i have no real preference as to what we're doing, as long as it's not expensive. time to start saving $$$ for xmas presents! i can't believe xmas decorations are already in stores. i can't wait to get an xmas tree :)

after your dinner friday works for me cause sat we are going to philly for the day/night. i like julie more than i dislike ekta :) so if seeing ekta friday also means i get to see julie im all for that...i dont know what i want to do with my cousin, but cool bar with a little bit of dancing once people get a little drunk sounds good to me :)
kerry is speaking at 2 and bush at 3....i was supposed to go to a conference but i think ill just stay here and watch...

ok, that was it.
that might have been my only break (lunch at 11:30) . . . back to work for me :)

rupa - respond about whether you are free that weekend!!!

orange chicken
that was my favorite for a while . . .
not that anusha cares, but the orange peel beef is good too :)
they will randomly have peeled oranges sitting around in a bowl for everyone to eat after they have peeled them for those dishes.

megan i ate there in seattle :) it was sooo good. i love that place - they need to open one in ct. we had spicy chicken and orange chicken - the orange chicken is actually really good! we had leftovers but no fridge in our room so we had to just throw it out :( the hotel had everything else (heating outdoor pool, great service, etc) but no fridge? i thought that was weird....
my day off
i did not do anything fun and exciting . . .
i did watch la confidential, the lizzie maguire movie, and gilmore girls, i got an oil change (about 500 miles overdue) and picked up a little. but only a little. i went out for coffee and helped edgar study for chinese . . . (which, apparently, is going to happen a couple of more times this semester so i may be able to speak chinese next time you see me)
speaking of next time you see me . .
december 10 to 12? sounds like a plan to me! and i'll purchase tickets tonight - just hoping rupa will respond and say those dates are good for her :)

good guy
well the real world prob cant figure it out cause we havent had a "good guy" running for president in a long time....
when both your options suck and most people take the attitude of voting for the lesser of the two evils, then the one thing that matters to you (war, healthcare, stem cell research, etc) makes your decision for you...
hopefully in 08 there will be a candidate that actually deserves to win...
rupa - are you around this weekend? im going out with my cousin on thurs and friday night if you want to come??

Re: the american president
the real world probably can't figure it out since there really isn't a "good guy".
meg, how was your day off? did you do anything fun?
rups - jackie and i are going to free wine tonight with paul and his roommate. wanna join us? and when do we get our cheesy shirts?? :)

the american president
it was on tv last night - probably in honor of election day.
in that movie - the good guy wins for doing the right thing.
if hollywood can figure it out, why can't the real world?!

so sad :(
you're right.. it must be more painful. it sucks that it's only 100000 apart there.. and in iowa and new mexico it's only 10000 apart! :(
argh.. sounds like it's about over!
argh.. sounds like it's about over!
i did that too :)
i kept the tv on all night thinking id wake up and be able to see what was going on...nope didnt wake up till 630 :)
kerry hasnt conceeded yet...apparently he is sending lawyers etc to ohio to recount the votes...that must be more painful, to try to force the win...i guess bush did that 4 years ago and it worked :)

urgh
i passed out at like 12:30 last night with the tv still on, and i woke up in the middle of the night and saw that bush is winning / won. blah. so annoyed.
oh well, at least i'm going to free wine tonight. i'm sure a few boxes of boxed wine can make me forget all about this crap.
and it's already wednesday! just a couple of more days, then the weekend :)

voting
that sounds awful.. glad you ran into moush though :) the place in PA where i used to always vote (and where my mom votes) is actually a church and all the kids from the church make stuff for election day so on your way out you can get cookies and cake and stuff. it's really cute.
it's so cool how many people are actually voting this year! i hope that means that it makes a difference.

alex
here is an update on our fav ks...
he is in brazil for 2 weeks with cameron (who is going there on wednesday i think) and then another ks - i believe mark but i didnt care too much to waste memory cells on his travel plans....
he went to the party alone. actually a lot of people did. i guess i just thought most people would bring someone - i had way more fun with ameya than i would have alone though.
and for voting - i was at the right place (sullivan and houston) they just have 4 distrcits voting in the same church and i was in the wrong district line...i actually did find out which one i was in cause i called yesterday to make sure i had registered since i never got a confirmation, except i wrote down my voter ID number not my district number...i guess you learn from mistakes like this....

poor nush
awww. . . that sounds miserable! where was the voting booth, anyways?? there wasn't a place online or something to find out where you had to vote? i've never voted at a real booth. . .this was actually the first time i even voted! i think for the last elections, i had just become a citizen, so i hadn't registered yet or anything.
who's alex in brazil with?? and who did he go to the wedding reception with?

happy and voting do not belong in the same sentence
i was at the voting place at 750! and got to work at 10!!! some silly girl standing in my line told me that since she lives a block away from me im prob in the 15th district so i waited in that line with her for an hour - nope we are in the 16th. then i had to wait in a line to find out what district i was in. then i had to wait in the 16th dist line (moush came then though so it was fun, we caught up:) to get a voting card, then stand in another line to actually vote. it was ridiculous. and i hate kerry and bush so who cares?? i did it anyway...it was my first time in a real election booth (we had these for our high school elections one year, and last time i didnt vote)
anyway now im here and doing my work and alex's while he is windsurfing in brazil :( i have to write reports for 5 funds this month!! its ok, im going to make him do everything for december when im off for a week so i guess i shouldnt complain....

happy voting day
good morning, ladies! are you all voting today?
i'm tired. . .still. and the coffee machine on my floor is broken, which means i have to get off my lazy ass and walk down to the 39th floor if i want some caffeine. and it's not even good coffee!
oh well. nothing new going on over here. anybody have any exciting news?

nyc in dec...
megan i know you said you were waiting on us to tell you when to come in dec, the best weekend for me is the one after my exam - Dec 10-12. Jules said that would work for her too - Rupa, are you here that weekend?? if not the next weekend may work but im not sure, it depends on my vacation times....
your welcome!
rupa has the shirts . . .
i'm going home :) and i'm not coming back until wednesday!
byebye girls :)
i'm going home :) and i'm not coming back until wednesday!

yay for shirts!
megan and rupa - you guys are awesome! who has my shirt? when do i get it?
i'm not in a good mood today. i mean, i'm not in a bad mood - i'm just TIRED. i had a great weekend, but i feel like i got no sleep whatsoever. blah.
nush - thanks for the invite, but i definitely want to stay put this weekend. too much travelling and guests for the past couple of weekends - i'm beat! and ekta will be here, but she's not a very high-maintenance guest since i'm sure she'll be spending most of her weekend with other people, too, so i'm not obligated to entertain her 24/7.
meg - i don't think i ever thanked you for the halloween card, did i? i loved it - you're the best :)
ok ladies, back to work. blah.

i agree
sorry to accuse . . . when i last refreshed the page, it was still only one blog per person.
we did get cheesy shirts for nush and jules :) i got the same one . .. they might be a little big because i got the same size (thinking it might be too small but wanting that style and it was the only size left) but its actually perfect for me . . . that was a serious run on sentence.
i'm in a really good mood today. i thought i was being really slow and lazy about processing my sample today . . . but since i only had one, it didn't take as long. and now i'm done with it and can run it on the machine and be out of here - probably by 4:00. and i already told eun that i was going to stay home tomorrow and she was very ok with that.
now i have to pee really bad. i had to pee earlier but i told my bladder to wait until i was finished with my sample. and then i finished and forgot i had to pee. and now that i'm sitting here my bladder is reminding me :)

i wrote twice and this is my third!
this is why i only check this thing once an hour or so...its depressing to check it more often...
fun :)
that sounds like fun! did jules and i get chessy tshirts?? dev bought me a cardinals sweatshirt when they wont he nlcs and i wore it cause it was freezing there and i think people kept looking at me with pity in their eyes, it was amusing :)
jules and rupa - are you interested in a trip to philly this sat? we are going from sat morn till sunday morn just to hang out, drink clubbing etc...its prashant me and dev...liam may come in which case hed drive us otherwise we are taking NJtransit...

now, for my weekend
poor yon . . .
i had lots of fun :)
rupa - edgar called me around 5 to be all cheery and ask how my day was going and be all love-y dove-y again. why couldn't he have figured that out a couple hours earlier so i didn't have to blow $18 on parking my car at the airport overnight?!
so the parade was AWESOME! i'm wearing my tshirt today. i told courtney - my coworker who is in love with varitek - that i saw him in the bk drive thru . . . . she was sooo jealous :) but in a nice way, not a not speaking to me way (which is kinda how she was on friday)
i met up with koo after rupa left and we were bums most of the afternoon. then, we went out to burokowskis (spelling?) and had awesome burgers and beer. then we went back to her place and got dressed and went to jorge's and gabe's and tommy's (i love their apartment - jorge has the living room all kinds of pimped out) and rashmi stopped by to go out with tommy. we went to the rack - where i saw rupa's sister and friend! gabe, jorge and victor (random puerto rican not our year) were dressed as the publisher's clearing house prize patrol and won second place in their costume contest. they looked AWESOME . . . i kept trying to point out girls for jorge to go hit on (he had a bunch of roses to present to each "winner" so he was giving out single roses to random girls as pick up lines)
koo and i left the bar at like one and went back to cameron bass's party. i saw metz, ramos, arturo, laura nasuti (spelling?), ummm . . . cameron of course. and a bunch of '05s i pretended not to know . . . chaz met us there. we left pretty quickly 'cause it SUCKED . . . i saw ramos on the way out and he was all shocked and happy to see me and told me if i EVER want to come to boston - i can always stay at their place. um, what? its only been a year and a half - did you forget your absolute dislike and disgust for me?!
then, i left koo's ass early. but i'm an idiot - you'd think the clocks changing would be what threw me off. nope, it's because i was CONVINCED my flight left at 8 am when it really left at 9. so, realizing this as i left koo's apartment, i decided to save money and take the T (i was thinking cab so i wouldn't be late) STILL got to logan with plenty of time even if my flight was at 8 . . . but logan is real civilization, so there were places to get food (rochester has basically nothing once you pass security - as i'm sure you guys noticed) so, i hit up a little abp lovin' and tried not to fall asleep at my gate since i was paranoid that they'd board my flight without me. of course - as soon as i was on the plane i feel asleep. who needs to hear the safety stuff?! i was asleep before we took off :)
ok, now back to my blood. if i get stuff done early enough today, then i'll do the analysis and not come in tomorrow!!! but since i can barely keep my eyes open, i'm not moving so fast . . . how did we do this in college?! were we really surprised that we couldn't stay awake through entire classes?!?!
i had lots of fun :)

this may come out in duplicate....
hi! i got into jfk at 8 am and to work around 945...
the weekend was really fun - seattle is absolutely beautiful. honestly if i even had one friend there other than dev and his friends i would not hesitate to move there AT ALL. the trip wasnt even bad cause jetblue flies direct, and its just so nice to have a city life but also have so much beautiful water and mountains...im not used to that at all. it was nice to meet all his friend and see where he lived that summer (although its just weird to think of him and mansi there together) but he knew that i was thinking abotu that and he was really cute and kept saying thanks for coming out there and i kept saying you dont have to thank me its just part of the deal when we are dating..and he was like no but you dont understand - as much fun as i had this weekend, the best part is that now when i think of my favorite place i can think of it with my favorite person. it was nice to hear things like that :)
he comes in on sat morn...and as soon as he gets here he, prashant, and i are going straight to philly....
seeing josh was really fun too :) OOH and apparently dev's best friend there, this indian guy eric, works with yon!! when they found out i went to mit, they were like wow you are actually cool we work with some annoying mit kids..and when i found out the "annoying mit kids" were our age i asked what their names were...and they said one that i didnt know, then they said yon!!! i was laughing. i told them how i never understood why but my best friend actually liked hanging out with him. they told me then that all the jokes they had been making all night that i may not have gotten were mostly about him! most of the things were pretty much exactly what yon was like in college :)

welcome back, nush!
i don't know what time you get in, but i hope seattle was fun!
i had a great weekend too. the weather was BEAUTIFUL sunday, went shopping in the outlets, saw the parade right outside my apt, went to a couple of halloween parties sat night. . .ooooh, that reminds me: i ran into chirag and carrie on sat night! it was so random, especially because i'd called chirag earlier in the night to find out what he was doing that night. carrie was shakira. . .she looked cute. i don't remember what chirag was supposed to be, but he was wearing a white castle t-shirt. we ran into them at a pizza place in the middle of the night - they were with one of chirag's friends from out of town. we all had pizza there, and then we went to a bar right around the area. it was fun :)
my mommy and aunt leave today (sniff, sniff). we had so much fun! i love that i see my family so regularly now. ok, tons of work - i'll write more later.
meg - how was your 1 day boston trip??? i wanna hear all about it. did you guys take any pics???
