Nohari Window / Steph's party / Questions 4801-4850 of 5000

Caught up on Spoz, Dave, Jon, Dawn, Vivian and Steph's writings tonight. Scrummy stuff. :D


Stole this from Bill:

This is like the Johari Window that I referenced a few entries ago, only this lists JUST negative traits. Now if only they could do a window which lists both positive and negative traits for the full overview, haha. I seriously won't be offended if you fill this out... I had trouble just keeping it down to six things! (and it has nothing to do with my level of self-esteem, either.. that's been higher than it has been in the past, actually!)


Nohari Window.


Note: LJ How Will You Die blogquiz. (by twisted_kisser)


As soon as I got to my sister's house (at the same time as Danielle and Erin), my sister accused me of being late. Hey, I never said I'd be ON TIME this morning, did I? :P My mom was on the phone talking to Jeremy, who's going to visit Jon in Toronto at some point: of course there's stuff he can bring over for her, haha. (I'd email him about the burned CDs, but I don't have the book where I wrote down his email anymore... oh well) We had so much food for dinner: tuna noodle casserole, Church's fried chicken, salad, potato salad, Coke, chips, juice, chocolate, and more! There was this big SUGAR tub of assorted candy that we all assumed was my mom's from the 7-11 5¢ section (since she has a lot of snacks around), but Steph said that Michelle had given it to her earlier today! (she couldn't come because her aunt's restaurant is closing down, and she has to be there)

Steph got some very old photo albums out that showed our parents' wedding, and Erin's parents' wedding. Karen Grace, Margaret, Melia, Emily, Danielle, and I had fun laughing at the old 1970s pictures of our parents and family friends: it was weird seeing our mothers' names in the wedding guestbook under their maiden names! (Emily in a ditzy moment: "But my mom's not Kathy with that last name! She's Kathy with THIS last name!!" Melia: "Auntie Kathy wasn't married to your dad then..." Emily: "OH!!! Never mind! Hehehe!")

Since Rachel and Pei Lyn aren't from our church (they're from Steph's high school), they got to witness the bum-slapping and hear the old stories about Erin and her Cutco job. (even Danielle hadn't heard this particular one about rolly chairs and going to the bathroom after meetings) Then again, we all got to hear the one where my dad always used to say that Rachel's lactose intolerance was "just an excuse." He'd plop down a big glass of milk in front of her... she'd HAVE to drink it, and then suffer the inevitable consequences afterwards! She's not as tam-leng as Steph is, haha!

When my grandma appeared seemingly out of nowhere, we wondered where she'd come from. Turns out that she'd been sleeping upstairs since she was tired and jet-lagged. Melia, Emily, Danielle, and I talked about "crazy grandma" stories: one involved Citrus' grandma just WATCHING them when a whole bunch of them were over for an elementary school Fellowship sleepover. (they also inadvertently turned the lights off on her while she was in the washroom, oops!) Then there was the one about Melia and Emily's grandma chasing them and their friends around with a knife! (yeah, she was crazy back then!)

My prayers were answered regarding my parents, so that was a plus. They went out to see some movie about halfway through the evening, JUST when Steph was going to model some scandalous top... thank goodness she had her University of Toronto light jacket! Emily, Melia and Steph took turns modelling a pig pillow on their faces later: my grandma was in the kitchen taking some medicine and turned around to see what the noise was all about. I told Steph to turn around so she could see: her reaction was, "Grandma's still here?! I thought she went upstairs to her room!" (I went into the kitchen a little earlier to look for something, and she gave me some money... $20!) Nope, she was still there! Cindy was actually hot instead of cold because of the lights in the townhouse: no blush needed at all, heh!

After my parents left, we praised Pei Lyn for her incredible self-control in not uttering swear words twice during the evening... especially in front of my dad! o_O Steph modelled the scandalous top with Spandex pants and her new necklace from Jessica / Karen Grace / Margaret. (Steph had to ask what it was when she opened it, heh) They also got her some eyeshadow, which Pei Lyn insisted that Steph model. Not like she needs it a whole lot, since her complexion's pretty good. But she did it anyhow, as well as straightening out the kinks in her hair via the gift from Melia / Vanessa / Emily: a straightening iron! (those chemicals in salons and such aren't good for you: it'll cost at least $200-300 there, and that iron cost $100... good deal, sort of :P) Danielle loved all the family pictures around the downstairs area: she's never been to the townhouse before! (this was the first birthday party of Steph's that she'd attended, actually) We had an ice cream cake which featured a scandalous woman as decoration: oh my! Lots of weird pictures were taken, and fun was had by all. (good thing my sister didn't bring out the alcohol for me, since I'd had to have Advil before I left: Melia asked if I'd had some yesterday, and marvelled at the huge container! haha)

Emily says that her sister Chrystal is coming home for good from Korea in mid-March: yay! Apparently, her hair is more straightened now with the same amount of volume: that'll be interesting! We talked about TV shows like WILL AND GRACE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, and GREY'S ANATOMY. (Danielle's brother Jody was thankfully home to tape it for her!) After watching a bit of Olympic men's downhill skiing in Italy, we all started to head home. (Melia and Emily had left first before everyone else: it takes them at least 45 minutes to get home from the townhouse, I think) Erin kindly gave me a ride home: Danielle finally got to see the outside of my place! (she and Citrus gave Steph six McDonald's hockey jerseys: she didn't see the point of it as she's not into hockey, but went along with it) They thought that dessert at my place after the next SLB night would be a good idea, particularly as Danielle hasn't seen it yet! (she wants to, though!) I got home, took some more Advil, and found out that the Canucks had won 3-2 against Minnesota in overtime in the last game before the Olympic break.. yay! (and now I get why Eric, Christon, and Nathan were getting together tonight: DUH, the hockey game!)


Got these questions from this QuestionClub LJ post by Arthurbulla. I'm going to post the survey in 50-question batches, like the original. No worries there! Five thousand questions and answers wouldn't fit as an entry, anyhow. :P

When you get there, you see someone wearing black and a rose, but they are very overweight. Do you go over and tell them who you are anyway? Yes, of course! I'm not like this one dude I read about who wouldn't do a similar thing!

4837.

You are Dr. Allison Cameron. People may think you're too pretty to take you seriously, but behind it all, you have a mind like a steel trap. You know what you want and you go after it, no matter what. And it looks like what you want is a juicy House sandwich. The good news is you're smarter than people think you are.
