Therefore, a not-so-rambly version of my earlier entry shall commence.
Chris has been at long last been peer pressured into getting an LJ. He forgot to log out, so naturally
I went and posted a couple of times, added to his userinfo and friends list, uploaded icons, and turned the whole thing bright pink. At the time of writing it appears he has completely failed to notice. Impressive, really.
And you know the best part? He hadn't seen his LJ beforehand and could well think they're naturally pink, and he probably won't know how to change it. HAR HAR. oh god I am cruel.
The Halloween party (turned study party in costume suspiciously close to Halloween turned DDR/SingStar/karaoke party) was great fun, despite the grand total of guests turning up amounting to three, all of whom were late. Much DDR (which I suck very hard at), SingStar Party, and karaoke was had. We discovered, to our shock, that
Chris can actually sing! He was singing Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand on Risk for SingStar (purely in the interest of fairness I teamed up with him to take on
Sophie and
Johanna) and oh god it was tragic, he was only 200 points off getting the point! In the end we were slaughtered ten points to four. Sob. Sob.
Hans started off the karaoke with Bridge Over Troubled Water, which I totally hijacked halfway through with
Anthony's version, which sounded very funny as she was singing rather high and me doing Anthony's version I was singing rather low seeing as Anth's a tenor. Combined, all four of us were a fantastic singer of My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion (during which there was also much handholding and "Jack, don't let go!" "I'll never let go!" naturally), the Cranberries' Zombie got slaughtered by not only the
MagicMic's incorrect lyrics but also Chris' made up lyrics about cheese, and I managed to get a score of eleven with my feeble attempt to sing in Tagalog.
Caryl: *kills Nandito Ako - Lea Salonga with ineptitude at own native language*
Chris: *indicating the score* "What does it mean where it says eleven?"
Caryl: "It means I suck."
All: *laughs at, not with*
But I did have a very fun and amusing duet with Chris on Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham. And he also sang Knock Three Times by someone I don't know, solo. Despite his laughing over this one line in the chorus because he didn't know the tune of it (I think?), it was wicked, absolutely wicked, and it made me go clamber onto the La-Z-Boy and almost fall off it trying to knock three times on the ceiling.
My god, i sound so besotted!
And we created a new life! Sheila. She was the first mushroom in the mini mushroom fight (Chris poked me with a mushroom, I mushroomed him back, for a minute or so there was mushroom chaos) which Chris carved a face and hair into, and then he made her a nice little bonnet out of a neglected bit of ham. All the photos of her are blurry T_T for that matter all the group photos are blurry too. Sheila is now in the freezer to be preserved FOREVER AND EVER. We had a look at Werribee and O! how the mighty have fallen. Honestly he's smaller than I expected.
This is why I should never have children. One has mostly melted, one is freezing.
BUT WERRIBEE IS TURNING ONE NEXT MONTH. We shall have a party.
And I think I'll just top this all off with photos.
Our darling Sophie, dressed as a witch. Ah the talcum powder. She got some on my shoulder.
Left to right: Johanna, Chris on Ignition, Sophie, the edge of Raeann.
Sophie, Johannna, Ignition, Chris. Forgot what Hans was singing actually.
Left to right: Chris as a detective, me as a storm (ah school production costumes), Sophie as a witch, Raeann as a warrior (that was a bloody Indian costume!), Johanna as...well no one really knows what Johanna was. If Chris' hat looks familiar that's coz it's
Jen's hat
I borrowed for Lip Sync.
Group shot again, I was trying to make us all say "cheese" in foreign languages but we missed because Mum just doesn't warn you when she's about to take the damn photo and we all got distracted by the sword anyway.
Naturally Hans and I are the only ones left actually looking at the camera because we're (closet in her case) camerawhores.
Sophie, Hans, and Raeann again. Don't know what song. Possibly Bridge.
PS: I really need to redo my layout, not to mention actually put something on my shiny subsubdomain. Hm. After exams mayhap.
