Well, here I am, back in the REGION, reflecting upon my good times this past weekend. Halloween was... interesting. After my temp gig, I headed over to 510 Lockerbie and met up with some x-coworkers. We eventually all made it to the Caladaugh (?) Had awesome food and stiff drinks. Then went to Ike and Jonesy's to mix it up with the construction worker crowd. Some nasty 5'5 dude grabbed my buttocks, yuck! Then off the the Living Room Lounge where some random guy who saw me earlier that day bought me a weak Long Island... thanks buddy! :) Eventually, Shane, Christina and I went to OPs, where I usually have a blast, but I found that I need to be drunk for that to happen, and at this point I was not. Oh well. got home at 1 and slept. Groggy, but not too bad the next day.
Scuba got into town and called me. I decided to go eat and bond with Jessi before I headed over to hang out at Steve's. We got food and videos. Super Troopers was so damn funny, even funnier after... well, we "expanded our minds." Not so much expanded as killed off hundreds of brain cells and consumed hundreds of calories. An even trade? I think not. I was so tired, I just crashed over there, but got up early to meet my parent's to move all my stuff. I was there and ready by 11, but they didn't get there until 4:30! Picked up Steve, got his WOMEN'S PAJAMAS (good times!) and then I got ready. Putting on fake eyelashes sucks, but the end result was pretty sweet. I can't wait to get my pictures back! We had a great time at the party. One too many 7 and 7s, but some of the costumes there were hysterical. THE HAMBURGLER was my favorite. How we made it back to Scuba's alive, I will never know. We didn't get up until 1 the next day and dragged our hungover asses to Perkin's. Then a short roadtrip, and all of a sudden, DAMN, where did the day go? I left Scuba's at 6pm and went back to Broad Ripple for the rest of my stuff. No one was there, so I said a tearful goodbye to that awesome house and drove north.

Not much to report... Days of Our Lives is getting really good. Bo killed Lexie! Brady and Chloe are offically hooked up! Nice!
Just working at The Gap... trying to get a gig downtown so I can move before school starts. I am going to Indy this weekend instead of driving to New York like I orginally planned. It all worked out for the best I think, even though I wanted to see Corey, I think hanging out in Broad Ripple and going to the Purdue game will be awesome, plus I get to pick up some stuff I left in Indy. Haven't been going out much here at all, but I am just trying to settle in and find a job. Ho-hum, hopefully I'll have some exciting news soon...

I GOT A JOB! It's in Elmhurst, kind of a commute, but the money is decent and it will help me to start saving, saving, saving. I need to stop spending!
This weekend was FUN TIMES. I went to Broad Ripple on Friday night with Scuba and knocked back a few. I talked him into going up to Purdue with me the next morning. Pre-game Stacks, of course, and then off to the game where Purdue won 34-10!!!!!!!! We didn't actually make it back to the second quarter after a stop at the Sig Ep tailgate. Went to giddyup on some victory potato soup. I should have stopped drinking at the point, but I did not. A couple of falls on State Road 41 sobered me up a bit. My hand is all torn up! Ok, I am almost 26, I need to realize I can't throw back like I used to in college. It's just that atmosphere at Purdue... seeing friends and being at my favorite bars, I get all silly and lose track of how many Long Islands I have consumed. My pictures should be really interesting. Anyway... back to the grind. I start work on December 2nd. Hooray!
