Halloween!
Finally! A successful Halloween! For the last 323545762947293 years I've been dying for a good Halloween. It's my favourite not holiday ever! Zatanna worked out really well. Dyed my hair black even though having dark brown hair..nobody really noticed, but it was that cheap Colour Pulse stuff. I wanted to use the 2nd bottle, but had no time and I remembered my friend is buying me a haircut for my birthday lol. Maybe after I'll do it again, and James' too! He wanted me to dye his hair, but he needs a haircut too.
Okay so James was the big thing for Halloween. My lovely dork ass of a boyfriend would NOT give me a costume he wanted to be. Everything was way too hard in the week he was giving me. Cyclops, Green Power Ranger (Stores only sold Red and he's gay so he wouldn't be him lol). Who else?...Uh...I don't remember. So while I was frustrated and angrily speaking to him about this costume, I was venting all my anger out on the poor civilians/military and infected NPC's in the game Prototype. Somehow my brain decided to turn off the "Don't kill your boyfriend" switch and realized, "Hey..Alex Mercer is a pretty easy and cool dude..James could pull him off."
So I stopped gloriously on a building and said, "You'll be Alex."
"What?"
"Alex. Him. With one of his many gooey arm weapons. Whip, claws or blade..whatever I make faster."
Well apparently James is as awkward of a size as I am and we couldn't find any leather jackets at the many thrift stores we went to. Finally we found a decent one and I went apeshit for the DAY I had to make his costume. Thankfully mine was all set up save for dying my hair so I wasn't worried, but then he had to go to work on Saturday. I sat there trying to think of how big his arm is, how long it is, where the white stripes on the jacket go...all without him THERE. Then he came home and napped. I made the blade as fast as I could. Spray painted it black, made spikes for his arm and back while it dried. Switched back over and added hot glue to make vein shapes along the blade. Switched back to the spikes to touch them up. Finished the blade, attached it to a glove I made for his arm so he wouldn't be attached to it all night. Added the spikes, painted the hot glue red and somehow finished it 30 minutes before we had to leave. I woke his ass up during his nap and just said, "You. Get up. Need your arm NOW."
I actually feel pretty pleased with this Halloween. Zatanna worked out and looked pretty good, Alex Mercer looked pretty good (and somehow oddly sexy to me...but he would eat me if he was real o_O).
Next year I'm just going downtown though if I don't make my own party. Kinda giving up on expecting others to do really good Halloween parties and downtown had TONS of awesome people walking around in costumes. Hopefully I don't choose a scantily clad, high heel wearing magician again!
