Halloween Hijinks

Hope everyone had a fabulous Hallowe'en! Mine was pretty great actually...

Guildhall for comedy night, followed by an a dance eerily reminiscent of middle-school gymnasium dances--lame music, balloons and streamers, and nobody dancing! That was a bit on the downer side, so we decided to pump things up and go to a houseparty guaranteed to be 'crazy.'

When we got there I pretty much decided it was not my scene--hideous death metal was bashing out of the stereo, meathead-ish jocks were chest pumping and looking scary and in general not my deal. Things did improve though, I got the grand introduction to everyone and things started loosening up. They also started playing good music on the stereo. I danced with Kermit the Frog, who was apparently a creepy individual (thanks!~) and then had to deflect a few others looking to dance as well. I had a sneaking suspicion that the rather drunk Lotharios were confusing me with the other 'princess' at the party--please note my costume was not a princess, it was a fairy. A butterfly fairy. Way different!

And since when did 'No thanks, I am married' become a come-on? Ha. Weird.

There were the usual party randomness...dancing, watching the showgirl's indecently-high slit in her red sequin dress get displaced and start showing us more than just hip...

We fled the party, literally, when it became clear someone was having a drug-induced freakout *in* the front door, effectively blocking it. That was when everyone wanted to leave right now and mass panic ensued. We also wanted to leave, but we waited it out and stormed out like troopers. Others were apparently trying to get in, and it was just madness. We made it out, ran down the street and met up with brother of friend. Chatted for a bit, then friend of brother phoned for a ride (please note it is very cold now. It was at least -9 on Halloween). So off we go to drive over and pick him up, and I'm the only sober one so guess who gets to drive! Yes, me!

We struggled with some issues; I couldn't reach the pedals, the wipers were going bananas, no back wipers, lights...
Got it sorted and off we go~ We catch the friend running frantically up and down by the library, I pull a U-turn and he hops in. He's freezing and very appreciative, and it's a good time to tell him we're hijacking his car to drive us home. He understands.

I drive myself and friend home and it's nighty-night at 4am. Good Halloween!
