Bleh, it's Halloween, and for the first time I am just not feeling it. I'd go out to the bars if I knew other people who were going, too--it's no fun to go out on your own. This is the same way I feel about parties, incidentally. I am not a good party-goer unless I know just about all of the people there. The only Halloween party I know of is ( Read more... )

I fucking love Halloween.

We went up to the bars, I met some of Jon's friends, a joyous and geeky time was had by all. I spied a Dr. Horrible and a Captain Hammer, but I couldn't manage to catch up to them and inform them that I did the weird stuff.

And then we came home and the upstairs neighbor tried to set fire to her apartment.

I'm sitting at the ( Read more... )

I am wearing contacts for the first time in months--my right eye is not happy about that, but fuck it. I'm left-eye dominant anyway. Kent!Halloween is tonight, which is exciting. I am pinning my parrot to my blouse with Hogwarts house pins, because apparently I left the magical box of actual safety pins in Atlanta. It seems to be working rather ( Read more... )

Dear Home-Schooling Lady,

I am an employee of the public library. I am not your personal shopper. I appreciate that your son is interesting in everything ever, even if he can't recall the name of that one Egyptian woman who is apparently neither Nefertiti or Hatshepsut. But do you think you could give the online catalogue a try, instead of directing ( Read more... )

Yeah, so Halloween was yesterday. And most of last week, if you're an OU student. But timing has never been my strongest point, so I'm posing a list of scary things now.

So last night was Halloween in Athens. Well, the whole weekend was, but Saturday was the day they blocked off Court Street for the street party. I'd been invited to Janice's for a party, but I dithered for awhile--I couldn't get ahold of Elizabeth, and I was sort of afraid that people would be all couply and I wouldn't have anybody to talk to. But ( Read more... )

So, Halloween turned out to be more fun than I expected. Ilya and I wandered around Court Street for awhile, managing to avoid seeing any public nudity--to my relief, and Ilya's disappointment. Wendy's is bad enough on any Saturday, but this was absurd. Ninja Turtles were big this year, as were smurfs, slutty cops, and wandering around in one's ( Read more... )

Did one of the girls in my hallway just yell out of the bathroom to remind another girl in my hallway to take her birth control?

Welcome to Athens, where "Halloween" means "booze and boobs and sex." I find that ironic, for if this were a seasonally appropriate horror flick, they'd all get to die first.

Okay, so I got all inspired and stuff, so I made nano-related things. No, not an outline. I think I might actually have a climax for my story, but nothing resembling a plot so much. See lovely shiny amateurish icon for my current wishlist.

However, I did make eLouai dolls of my two three? main characters. Because it's fun. In fact, I'm starting a ( Read more... )
