Winning Streak

November has been a month of ridiculous prizes. Eariler on this month I participated in the Royal Winter Fair's butter sculpting competition along with a few other folks from my school and OCAD. The theme for the sculptures was horse appreciation and youth participation which is pretty ridulous so I sculpted two people in a horse costume on a tandem bike which was an idea my roommate Bryan came up with to do as a performance art piece. The process took about 8 hours of sculpting in a walk in fridge with hundreds of pounds of butter while people stared at you work. There were some seriously talented sculpters in that fridge with me so I was very surprised to get a phone call telling me I had won first prize! I was invited to accept my award at the beginning of a horse show at the Ricoh colliseum. This horse show was apparently a big deal because people were arriving via horse drawn carriage decked out in top hats and ball gowns. I had a good laugh about that since I had smelt my cloths to make sure they were clean before I put them on that day. The CEO of Gaylee awarded me a plaque and a cheque in the sands of the horse ring while all the big wig, show goers watched me on the big screen. Who would have thought butter sculpting was such of big deal? After that I thought I had my share of perculiar winnings for at least the rest of the year but apparently I wasn't threw. Tonight myself and a bunch of the cats from the Drake made our way to the Guverment to celebrate the completion of Movember which is a month long fundraser for prostate cancer research in which men get their friends to sponser them to grow a moustach. Many of the participants came down to Toronto for the celebration dressed as the personality their moustache evoked and women were encouraged to participate as well. I of course couldn't pass up the opprotunity to dress up as a dusty, literature professor with a neatly trimmed moustache, elbow patches and bits of toilet paper blotting the nicks on my chin. Apparently the costume was a hit and I was nominated for Miss Movember and won a bunch of prizes including a sweet shash. What a night!

So, since I am such a winning streak I think I should bet on some ponies or go to a casio. What do you think?
