last night Rochelle and i went out to a movie and then to moxie's afterwards. we went out to celebrate both of us now being 18 and to celebrate my FREEDOM FROM FINALS! YAY!!!! we were going to tell the waiter that it was our birthday that day, but we forgot. and by the end of it we weren't all that hungry. at least i sure wasn't. you see, i have looked death in the face and SURVIVED!!!! we got an order of their shanghai noodles (really, really good) and split it between the both of us and in mine i found what looked like a green bean, but without anything in the middle. so i ate it, and it turned out to be a chive, which was fine because i like chives better than i do green beens. anyway, so i go on eating and in pick up what i thought was a chive and pop it in my mouth. at first it just tasted like laundry detergent, then it started to get REALLY spicy. i swallowed it and then it got REEEEEAAAAALLLLY spicy. i have never eaten anything so incredibly spicy in my entire life! and i've eaten tabasco sauce plain before. not to mention one huuuge jalepeno pepper, which wasn't even all that bad. my eye started watering and i couldn't think and my throat felt like it was closing off and i started to shake and i coudln't breath. yikes. i thought i was going to die. well, not ACTUALLY thought i was going to die, but it was the closest i've ever been to actually thinking i was going to die. hooooman it was crazy! so after we were all done eating i asked the waiter what type of pepper it was and he said it was an unane (spelling?) pepper, but i can't seem to find them on the internet, so i have no idea if i'm spelling it wrong or if the kitchen staff was just crazy and doesn't actually know what they're feeding anyone. at any rate, if you are ever presented with one.... DON'T EAT IT UNLESS YOU HAVE ABOUT THREE GALLONS OF MILK HANDY!!! and they looked so innocent too! cause they're just little, like the length of the last two joints on my pinky finger (and remember i have very small pinkies) and it was dark green, and kind of curvy and looked sort of like an eggplant, BUT HOT!!!!!!!! yowza.

in other news, my little kitten Kobe has a cotton ball fettish. we used to have them sitting in a little woven container type thing on the edge of the bathroom sink upstairs, but she would keep knocking them all into the sink and since the tap drips, they would always get soggy. so we moved them to the little wooden box affair on the top of the toilet tank. earlier there was a rather large crash and it turns out, Kobe had so desperately wanted to get at the cotton balls that she ended up knocking the wooden box and all it's contents off the toilet and onto the floor. nothing broke which is good, but i'm slightly worried about her fettish. seems unnatural for a cat to form fettishes.

i saw love actually last night with Rochelle. GOOD MOVIE! it's funny. i rather liked it. makes you wish you had a boyfriend though.
