Costume Parties
Thursday morning at the bus stop there were, among other people, these two guys that looked cartoonishly jock-like. They were practically square, like Strong Mad. As they're getting on the bus, one of them says in a voice everyone can hear "so the tests came back and they weren't positive for herpes but the doctor says I still might have it.. I think its gonna be okay though" to which the other one, who had a white guy with a completely shaved head, responded "no, its NOT okay. Its not okay until I know I'm not gonna get that shit from you!" Uh, you're not gonna get it from talkign to me" "Whatever, that shit is contagious..." and basically the entire ride to school it went around with the skinheaded guy being convinced he was gonna get it, and the other guy casually playing it down. Within a short time everyone else in the bus was whispering to whomever was next to them about it.
On Friday evening Kristy, her flatmates and I went to The Grad again for their dollar drinks before ten. As before we got as many as we could before the price went up at ten, creating a veritable horde. Their former flatmate Joe even took a break from brewing beer to join us again. Then the flatmates all rocked out, and there was general craziness.
Saturday during the day was our little practice MUN conference -- the mock model United Nations conference that we replaced the actual conference of CalMUN Anaheim with a few years ago. Last time we went Jordan Smart spoke in a russian accent for the entire eight hour drive back -- no wonder we don't do it anymore. Anyway our fake fake UN conference was boring as expected, and when not justifying the Saudi Arabian policy on capital punishment I was guiding my viking people in Civilazation III on my computer.
Friday evening Phi Alpha Delta (PAD) had our "little sib revealing" where the incoming pledges get to find out which member has been assigned to guide them through the pledge process and egg them on for their own amusement. My little sib didn't show up so my evil plot for world dominion will be slightly delayed. The event was at the corn maze in Woodland, which was pretty cool. I'd always wanted to go to a corn maze but never gotten around to it before. I think Michelle & I (& her pledgling) finished first, a clear testament to our awesomeness.
From there I went back home only to return a few hours later with Ben for this big costume party in Woodland, one of the hosts of which was in PAD. Ben went as Johnny Bravo, which was pretty cool. I couldn't think of anything creative so I donned my black cloak and was an evil jedi with a mohawk, or something (or the grim reaper with a mohawk and no scyth).
Around 1:00 Ben & I departed that place caught up with Kristy at another costume party in the Temescal apartment complex in North Davis. This was a "C" themed party, everyone had to be something starting with a C. Kristy was a cat. It looked like it was a really strongsauce party, Ben and I wished we'd gotten there sooner.

Picture of the Day
Previously on Emosnail
Two Years Ago And A Week Ago Today: The Devil v The Devil - On who's really controlling the puppets in my court room.
Two Years Ago Last Tuesday: ASUCD Tahoe Retreat 2003 - President Sara Henry foreshadows her lack of understanding of the concept of three equal branches of government, and general good times are had by all. I was looking forward to doing it again but last year Comptroller Menezes planned it on halloween weekend and this year comptroller Whitney isn't planning on having it at all. Did you know the Government Codes mandate that there must be three retreats per year?
Two Years Ago Last Thursday: Taking Back Monday - Taking Back Sundays plays acoustic on the quad, because the bureaufascists in campus events wouldn't let them use amplified sound, despite the fact that the group that did have the sound permit that day gave them permission. This would later result in an ASUCD senator (Lydiana Alfaro) making an ass of herself and then getting further pwned by this livejournal.
Two Years Ago Last Friday: Snapple Piracy - a classic tale of piracy, vindication, and firebombing a city.
Two Years Ago Today: Death to Officer Chang - I unexpectedly come face to face with my nemisis, Officer Chang, when he comes to ASUCD to whine and feed them filthy filthy lies about why he got fired. I'd have given him a firm shellacking but I think I was positively shaking with anger and hadn't recovered from the unexpected shock of seeing him there until it was too late.
