ahhh the halloween debauchery. i love it so. i had a great weekend with more fun to come tonight and tomorrow night. the haunted house on friday was fun times. as we stood in line these ultra philly (or perhaps south jersey) high school kids turned to us with a shaky scared voice asking "hey yous guys want to come with us so we don't have to be alone?" so we walked through the entire thing with teenagers clinging to us...hilary might very well have nail marks from the intense hand holding and there was a firm grip on my jacket and a chin resting on my shoulder throughout the entire thing. it was pretty fun though. some good make up and a couple good scares. i got hilary 3 times to scream like a little girl...as promised. which continued into the night when our "herbal paranoia" combined with the first nightmare on elm street convinced her that somebody had come into the house and when i investigated and looked into a room...i started screaming and ran out. hilary almost pooped her pants. god i love halloween.
the party saturday night was a lot of fun...yet reallllllllyyyy gay. but nothing like some gay halloween: gay men using an opportunity to be shirtless for the evening. unfortunately, the gayness negatively affected our costume decision since most people were convinced we were britney spears and k-fed...like there isn't any other option. i was called kevin several times that night and all i really wanted to do was ask loudly why k-fed would were a camo hooters hat and red suspenders!!! i mean really. but the party was fun...with lots of booze flowing. i finished off a bottle of boons and a flask of jim beam. yummy. we were so partied out that we took a cab the 6 blocks back to the apartment ha ha. a cheesesteak was definitely in order after all the partying and who do i see but a girl i went to high school with...right ahead of me in line. CRAZY. it was funny. we had a good laugh and exchanged phone numbers.
we were supposed to go to a pumpkin patch yesterday but i was hurting hurting. its actually been awhile since i drank that much. so we layed around and watched football and nascar. the eagles are such a dissapointment...3 weeks in a row. whatever. then i made some homemade buffalo wings and we settled in for some more horror flicks. if y'all want to see a serious intense movie...rent "hard candy." not since "elephant" have i been more shaken up by a movie. intense.
ok so the real reason why i'm rambling on about how great everything is...i also got some crappy news on friday afternoon. the union job i had decided to take called me back. the funding for new organizing positions is no longer secure. there is lots of drama behind the whole thing but the short story is that they aren't able to hire which means i'm not starting that job. it could get magically worked out (although i doubt it) so i'm still keeping in touch with the director. but it looks like i'm back to square one. its frustrating cause i worked so hard deciding if this was the right decision for me to make. and eventhough i had doubts, i decided that it was the right decision. i was really upset at first and a little panicked. ok really panicked. but now i i think its a sign...and maybe a blessing. it just wasn't meant to be. i have been making this vow to try and do something else besides organizing but haven't kept it. now i have to keep it. i think i just need to find a whatever job close by (although hopefully not waiting damn tables) and really do some soul searching to figure out what to do. blah.
but it won't keep me from having a wonderful halloween. its time for some pumpkin carving tonight so it should be fun!
