This last awesome thanksgiving weekend, Calvin and I had a fantastic time doing a lot of sleeping in and eating. Calvin said he wanted to practice hibernating in the winter.

Thanksgiving dinner at my house was nice, aside from Calvin growling at my mother... I talked to him about that already. But otherwise Calvin and I had a really chill thanksgiving break!

Calvin went with me to my friend's b-day party on Tuesday and he was the center of attention. Some of my friends made him scared because they wanted him to walk home by himself. The rest of the week, Calvin was bored because he had to watch me write papers- Calvin was sad that he couldn't go to the pie baking project, but it was for his own good. It was very messy and he would see sweet potatoes and black berries flying all over the place. I hope he had fun with me!

On Wednesday Calvin helped raise 45 dollars in cotton candy and popcorn sales for Fall Banquet. Apparently, growling/walking motorized bears are great advertising tools. To celebrate, he decided to try new things and go bar-hopping in the Castro. Though he was welcomed by all, he decided community service was more his scene. Henry was fortunate enough to be the designated driver and took great care of Calvin.

On Thursday, Calvin went shopping in SF. He was a little frustrated that no retail stores catered to miniature bears. But OMG the scariest thing happened: he got lost in Banana Republic for 30 minutes... Fortunately Henry + Calvin were reunited and both never want to speak of the event again. On a happier note, Calvin went w/Anthony + Henry to their decal and made red ribbons for HIV/AIDS awareness.

Sad that Calvin couldn't go to Masquerade Ball, Henry decided to cheery him up and bring him to the Berkeley Project. Calvin met many new faces and felt better. Tired from working, Calvin and Henry decided to make it a blockbuster night and fall asleep on the living room couch.

On Sunday, Henry brought Calvin to his Filipino folk dance company's practice. There he gained a little culture listening to the sounds of the Philippine Islands. As usual, Calvin was pimp when it comes to the ladies of the compnay. He couldn't bear to watch (pun intended) Henry do a dance involving balancing, dancing, and hopping atop a structure of benches 6 feet high.

Calvin had a blast this weekend! He went to FTC with all his great friends in Circle K! First, he went to "Ice Breakers," then to the PTP pictionary, which was misleading... he's still bitter about there being no actual game of pictionary! =( Then he went to Hoopla! & got to learn everyone else's checks!

After that Calvin left me to visit EVERYONE else! But Saturday night he had a fantabulous time watching Jeff strut his stuff. But the best skit was Berkeley's. Calvin was never more proud in his life.

P.S. Calvin told me he forgave me 4 dropping him... 3 times! =)
