Trick or Treat or Tag!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I'm currently up in Northern California for work (and pleasure), and I'm constantly reminded about how much I loved this place. I think I truly left my heart in San Francisco, but I think the real reason I'm attached to the Bay Area is because it's where I was tested and found out what I'm capable and made of. I think the place where you spend your formative years, whether at a child and/or adult stage, hold a special place in your heart. For example, England is also special to me because my earliest memories are from when my family and I lived there. Even though we left the UK when I was four years old, it still feels like home when I go there.

Anyhow, I'll be up in San Francisco until Halloween...speaking of which, here's a picture of one of my best friends, Sara (I'm staying with her), and me before a Halloween part we went to on Friday. A few of her friends, who were part of a larger group of friends, dressed up as various characters from X-Men:

Bonus points for those who know what characters we were dressed up as!

On another note, I've been tagged by Miss A over at Roccapuccia to answer some random questions about me:

4 Things I Did Today:

• Made the filling for potato samosas
• Re-packed my suitcase and duffel bag
• Drank some really good Persian-style tea
• Brushed my teeth? (It's been an uneventful Sunday.)

4 Things On My To-Do List:

• Get back into my work out/eat right routine properly so I can run a 5K (and eventually do a full marathon...that's if I find some discipline in me somewhere)
• Start work on my business idea (currently in stealth mode because I don't want anyone to jack my idea)
• Make biryani and samosas for Sara today
• Scope out Loehmann's in SF and see if they've got the epic leather jacket I saw at the San Diego Loehmann's

4 Guilty Pleasures:

• The Hills although half the time it's not a pleasure because I want to smack Spencer really hard for his a-holery
• The Pussycat Dolls
• McDonald's Southern Style Chicken biscuit and sandwich
• Looking at shoes online

4 Random Facts About Me:

• I've lived in six different places in my life (the UK; Libya; Cleveland; two suburbs of LA; and San Francisco).
• I can drive a stickshift.
• I have two astrological signs (Aquarius and Pisces) because I was born on the cusp.
• One of the best dreams I ever had was being on Project Runway, and when I woke up, I sketched the dress from my dream.

I'm tagging Cybill, SuperKawaiiMama, and Princess Poochie...
