ugh....
Tired today...yesterday was fun, but long. We got to dress up in costume at work, which sounded cool until I realized that those shoes weren't suitable for serving. I also had a trainee following me and my costume made it really inconvenient to try and show her things and be a good server in general. Oh well.... it put me in sort of a bad mood, but it was still fun not to wear work clothes,I guess.
After work I followed my plan of meeting Todd at his house, drinking a little, and taking the bus to the Carnavale in West Hollywood. A few of his friends came along, so that was cool. Unfortunately Celeste had to work and couldn't come with me. I'm glad we didn't have a huge group of people because it would have made it really hard to keep track of everyone. WeHo was crowded but not as crazy as I had expected. Yeah, people were drunk and there were some crazy costumes and drag queens and such, but it wasn't any crazy partying like I expected. I think part of that was because it was so hard to go anywhere and get drinks. Most of it was just people in costume walking this way or that way to some unknown destination. Yeah, lots of people, but otherwise nothing too insane. We ended up basically getting there, walking for a really long time, never finding the Better Than Ezra stage, stopping, getting some drinks and food, standing in line for a club, leaving the line, and eventually Todd and I split off from everyone else. They stayed later and we started the long trip heading back. I'm glad we left when we did because it took forever to catch busses and I was really tired. By the time I got back home it was almost 3.
Anyway, that was Halloween. It was cool to dress up since I haven't done that in years. I'm not even sure the last time I dressed up. I'm sort of over it though...if I hadn't had plans I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten a costume. Cool experience, at least.
P.S. As fun as it was to see all the costumes, I couldn't help but feel depressed by the sheer volume of gay men and sort of alone and lonely. I know, I always feel that way lately, but it sort of accentuated it....
