What is the most creative gift you have ever given or received?

I crocheted a huge very soft blanket for Gary about a year ago for his birthday. It took a while but it looked really good...I was very proud of myself. Too bad I don't have a picture of it to show.
Last night Gary braved the treacherous roads to come and see me after he was done with work. We had lots of tickle fights and wrestling matches because he was trying to be funny by trying to pick my nose and make me eat it. Yea gross, and yes we are weird lol. After we watched a funny movie, School for Scoundrels. It was very funny. It had the guy, John Heder, from Napoleon Dynamite in it....no matter what character he plays he will forever be Napoleon Dynamite in my mind. Lots of funny parts to the movie. Gary left around 12:30 and I finished the last few pages in my book, Jodi Picoult's The Pact. It had a surprise ending which always makes me happy. And now I am up super early on a Saturday morning!
Yesterday, Friday night, I went to Book Revue to see Jodi Picoult speak about her new book. It was packed....at least a few hundred people over the fire hazard rule things. I had no idea she was born on Long Island, but she was! She did a reading of some excerpts from the book that just came out this week. I'm already almost finished with it. She also talked about her two upcoming novels which sounds REALLY good. Can't wait! I was all ready to get my book signed but there were so many people and out of my mom, gary, and I, I was the only one who was there to see her and felt bad for making them both wait so long just to get a signature.
Today I went out to Stony Brook with my family for my little bro's "Accepted Students" presentation and tour. I basically just sat in the library feeling like a zoo animal while all of the tours walked by and stared at me..."look a college student in her natural habitat...and oh my gosh...is she studying!" I felt ridiculous. I don't like being noticed...I like being invisible better.
Tonight I went to the couple I babysit for's going away party. I sat at the little kids table but I still had fun. Then at around seven I went back to the house with the babies while the parents stayed at the party. I didn't get home till after 12 which was fine but I am exhausted! I barely had any sleep last night. I am really going to miss them...they are so nice, you know just genuinely nice people. Then I got home and had a fight with Gary and now I kind of feel like being sick. So I am going to try to go to sleep. Good night!
Not too much happened this weekend, which I suppose is good since usually the school week is crazy/hectic/hellish/stressful. Friday night I got to see my man Gary. We ate Chinese food (yummy chicken lomaine) and played Final Fantasy XI. I love that game....it's so addicting. I also got to finally see Gary's videos of him dancing from when he was little. It's about time....we have only been dating for almost two and a half years (lol jk). He's probably going to get mad at me for mentioning his dance videos but oh well. They were cute!
Saturday after going to the NP and getting a new medication: lamictal. Yay add on a new one. We are hoping this one will finally help my depression. It's a slow titration so it's going to take over a month to get to the target dose and see if it helps. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I am sick of being depressed and having my moods change like a roller coaster. This is only like the fifth medication I am trying.
After the doctor I went to Barns and Noble and purchased some new books. I don't know why the change but I have become a voracious reader lately. I finished one of the books I bought on Saturday, that same day. And it wasn't a short read either. It was just so good I couldn't put it down! The books I purchased are Keeping the Faith and The Tenth Circle both by Jodi Piccoult and Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I wanted to post the pics but for some reason Vox kept freezing up when I tried to insert them.
So the book, Keeping the Faith, by Jodi Piccoult was the first one I started reading and the one I couldn't put down. It was about a family who just divorced because of the husband cheating. They (as in the wife and 7 year old daughter) walked in on him in the act. So they divorce and the daughter, Faith, starts saying she is talking to god. They think it's just an imaginary friend but then things start happening that can't be explained, such as her quoting Bible verses when she has never seen a Bible in her life, she resurrected her dead for an hour grandmother, she healed an AIDS baby, etc. It was SO interesting. I definitely suggest this book. But anyway...here is a quote (there are quotes that start each chapter) that I thought was really interesting:
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
-John Milton, Paradise Lost
Sunday, I just hung out around the house doing the oh so fun list of chores that I let build up. And I did some homework, that I also let build up. Oops!
You're trapped in a (temporarily) out of order elevator - who would you like to be trapped with?

Obviously my best friend and boyfriend Gary! I'm sure we could have fun ;)
I am still sick! Will it ever go away? It's been almost a week! This cold is killing me. Ok I may be exaggerating but still! I have been in bed for three days! And I still feel the same!
Yesterday Gary came over and chilled with me ALL day! I felt so bad that he had to stay in bed with me watching tv all day. I really enjoyed his company though! I was starting to get crazy lonely. He is such a sweet boyfriend! Then later that night Caroline came over! She gave me my belated Christmas present which was awesome! We talked for like an hour or more with my brother and then she had to leave to pack to go back to school today and I was just dead tired from this cold. I'm gonna miss her when she goes back to school. I'm sad that I only got to see her twice in the almost month she was here :( The time just slipped on by and things just kept getting in the way so we couldn't hang out more.
