I’m not all that big on Halloween, one, because I wasn’t brought up on the tradition and two because there isn’t any exchange of presents involved. I don’t see the point in non-present, non-day-off holidays. And lastly, I don’t like dressing up; I find the whole process of deciding what I want to be, getting the costume and actually putting it on a bit tiresome. I guess I don’t get the fun in it,

We had a Halloween potluck at work. I’m a bit wary about potlucks, which is basically food (sometimes itself mysterious) mysteriously prepared in other people’s homes. I gave my obligatory $10 for deep-fried crispy chicken from KFC, which according to Pamela Andersen are apparently treated inhumanely. It wasn’t hard to come up with excuses for not eating; they were too busy stuffing their face to notice anything or anyone. My sanitary issues with potlucks stem from watching my brother make Caesar salad and spinach dip for his office potluck; I never looked at other people’s food the same way again.

I officially have a cold! What these germs and viruses don’t understand is that I don’t have the time, energy, patience and the right attitude to be sick. If I’m going to be sick I need at least 2 week’s notice to prepare my psyche. This isn’t working for me…

So I was at lunch with Guy (pronounced ghee because he’s French and hates it when people call him ‘english names’) I’m trying very hard to get comfortable through the cold hence trying to breath, clearing my throat and making ‘other noises’. He stops abruptly in the street and goes:

Guy: do you want to have sex?

me: no, I do not want to have sex

Guy: you’re making noises like a woman who wants to have sex

me: what???

Guy: yes, you’re moaning and groaning and breathing heavy and sniffing…

me: i’m sick! You pervert!

Guy: then go and take medicine and get better. this is very distracting!

me: you’re sick!

Guy: I am sick? You’re the one moaning like you’re in a porno movie
