halloween
okay so we made a nice big dinner on halloween and got all dressed up.
that was good fun.
THEN...the night started to go wrong
first, we had this little ghost peeps (marshmallow peeps)
and someone said they were really good if you roast them so we all
run over to the stove to roast them.
natalies begins to fall off her fork so her reflexes tell her to catch it
then her brain tells her to move her hand away from the burning hot peep
well the hot melty hot stuff landed partly on her hand leaving her awful burns.
she now had a huge blister shaped like a llama on her hand. looks very painful.
after a while we decided to go out.
its raining. of course.
and rain is NOT fun when youre wearing heels on wet cobblestones
trying to hold your umbrella and feathery mask.
we went to one club that was all halloween decorated but it was SO packed
we went to find another one. we ran into some friends and decided to follow
them, unaware that this place they wanted to go was REALLY far.
there are times where i really miss having a car.
so we get to this club and it looks pretty okay. they also decorated from halloween
and i stole some posters they hung on the wall for the occasion- a mark ryden painting,
an alien from mars attacks, and jack nicholson doing "heres johnny!" (which are now hanging in the den). then that place got SUPER packed so we decided to leave. there was Drraaaaammmaa trying to get out of the stupid club because they give you a ticket when you walk in and they stamp it when you buy a drink, then you pay on the way out. well it turns out that its 15 euros if you dont buy a drink! and no one had money. larissa and i finally got out and walked the far walk home. my feet hurt in my heels and her flats were soaked so we traded shoes. hers were too big on me so i kinda dragged my feet home.
it felt like halloween was basically spent walking in the rain. hah.
there were a lot of people celebrating through, which was kind of cool.
then next day we all slept in and made french toast for breakfast..mm..

it was a lazy day and we just watched movies then went out and had
a really delicious and well priced italian dinner.
its raining again today and justine is on her way to go meet sergio!
shes super excited and all of my roommates are really excited to meet him.
were having another big dinner tonight (by the way, i cant find the apostrophe on this keyboard)
oh yeah! and i wanted to comment on italian men. you know that theyre known for
hitting on women and all that. well its SO TRUE. they seriously say "ciao bella" to EVERY pretty girl that walks by them. sometimes its because they think theyre really hot in their leather jackets, and sometimes they want you to buy something from their stand, or sometimes they probably know were american and just want to see how we will react...whatever the reason it happens all the time. one of the leather jacket guys said it right in my face as he was passing justine and i coming back from the grocery store, and i guess you had to be there, but it was hilarious. they just HAVE TO say it. whenever they get the opportunity and sometimes they even say it under their breathe really nonchalantly and boringly almost so you dont hear but they say just to have said it anyway.
we have about 3 more weeks till we come home! i cant say it enough but I CANT WAIT!
i reeeeaaaally want to cuddle with tubby in my bed and see everyone again.
i am enjoying this time here though. nothing compares to florence.
i cant wait to jam in the basement though. thats one thing i reaaally miss. i finally started writing a song...its been a while. also having been reading a lot -am finishing up fear and loathing in las vegas, which has reeeaally cool illustrations by ralph steadman.
well i better get home !
