life size buffy madness!

9:54 p.m.

okay so guess what i got from my secret santa? it's my final gift, cuz today was the luncheon/holiday party.

i got a life-size sarah michelle gellar! haha... a cut out of Buffy! isn't that rad! okay, actually it's a little cheesy, and it's way taller than SMG, but i thought it was cool. actually, it was a little embarassing, okay a lot embarassing, but i was pretty drunk, so it didn't really matter! ha ha.

but the coolest part of all is that i was completely broke after buying two more drinks, after my two drink tickets were used up, and we ended up getting our bonuses! i had just started working here almost three months ago....i didn't think it was enough time for me to get a bonus. so i was thinking i'd only get like $25 or less. which was still incredibly cool since i was pretty low on funds. so, we got our envelopes and i didn't feel like opening it cuz it was pretty quiet and the big boss man was making his speech, you know, and everyone was paying attention. gasps came from my right as carina and asha opened theirs. and then i heard joy kinda gasp and whispers erupted between the three of them.

i was a little confused and excited at the same time, not unlike charlie in "charlie and the chocolate factory" as he opened that one bar of chocolate which contained the golden ticket. so slowly, i ripped open the red envelope with the snowman on the front, and to my surprise, what should i find inside? a crisp one hundred dollar bill! i was pretty fucking excited. because honestly, i was kind of worried about not having enough gas for today and tomorrow, and i was running low on cigarettes.

so the party was fun. co-workers are much more enjoyable when they're drunk. and the big boss-man didn't seem as scary as he does in the office as oppose to when he has glass of cabernet in his hands. he even offered to take a picture of us with carina's camera, just randomly out of the blue.

well after finding out who our secret santas were and getting our bonuses, carina, joy, or asha suggested (i don't really remember who's idea was it) that we go to asha's house and buy more alcohol on the way there. good idea! we took the party there and had a little mini celebration of our own. we sat and talked and drank and ate tator tots. yes, tator tots. asha's a wiz in the kitchen! i need to get the recipe from her. but beer and tator tots are like the best combination ever! but it was nice to get to know asha a little more. we've only been talking to each other through IM's at work, and reading up on each other's diaries, but it was cool that we got a chance to hang out and socialize person to person. and i know joy and carina were having a good time.

so carina ended up having to leave early because she had a final shortly after, and joy and i stayed behind and hung out a little bit more. i had a lot of fun tonight. i couldn't believe i got a life size buffy! what the hell? i'm a genuine buffy freak, don't get me wrong. i'm a dedicated fan to the show. but a life size cardboard cut out! i sweared myself i'd never buy one. ever. but i guess it's fate that i should have one to be a true fan, and i'd get it as a gift! random. totally random. i asked for an action figure...which is twenty times smaller, and easily displayable at my desk. but anyway. moving on. i must sleep. good times. good times.
