My Halloween
The Halloween parades were long and annoying on Sunday, but what really sucked about them was that after all was said and done and I was walking back to my car, my foot got caught in a hole in the ground and I sprained my ankle. So yesterday at 7 in the morning, I went to the hospital and got it examined and got an air cast and crutches. Fair enough, I suppose. I'm also supposed to rest it for a few days which I've been doing.
So in an attempt to take my mind off the pain, my parents took me to a showing of a documentary at Monmouth University called "The Shadows of Shadow Lawn". It was about all the hauntings at Monmouth U and they proved lots of stuff and it was completely fascinating. We got there a bit early and so I was looking around at different posters for upcoming events there and I saw one for a concert on the 18th I'm going to that has 4 Irish performers...one of which is my distant cousin Sharon Shannon who is devastating. So after all that was said and done, I crutched my way to the car and we left.
At about 4:30, I got into my cosplay (Kami Illuminati with Labcoat plus crutches) and sat outside with a bowl of candy and a book to read and waited for people to show up. It was boring at first but after a while, Jason and Dani Cox showed up and they gave me candy and we talked about cosplaying and Final Fantasy and other such things and it was awesome. Then Jackie, Werner and 2 of his friends showed up and everyone left and I crutched back inside and watched The Crow. While I was sitting outside, AJ passed by and did a double take of my outfit and I just laughed because it freaked him out. I also had a lot of people ask me if the crutches were part of the outfit. Oh well. I missed the senior breakfast and opportunity to beat some Narutards, but whatever, that's what Otakon's for.
Because of my injury, I am out of gym and practices/games for 2 weeks. Meaning I'll show up at guard practices and such, though I can't participate in them. I also can't audition for jazz tonight since my pedal foot is injured. Such is life though. Maybe this is the answer I needed.
