Halloween...good times. Well, actually, going to State Street wasn't worth it. It might have been if I was 21 and didn't have to work at 8 this morning but...I'm not and I did. But really, last night kinda sucked.
I got home at the usual time and tried to rest at first, but alas, I had candy duty. So I got online and chatted with some buddies I haven't chatted with in a long time between wishing little kids Happy Halloween while throwing candy in their faces. [Just outta curiosity, why were all the little boys Spiderman? I mean I know it just came out and all, but honestly] P calls to tell me that her and KJ are at his place and he needs to shower and then they'll be over. So I'm just sitting at home, listening to music (WJJO!), and chatting until 6:30...pretty boring (except Levi, he was fun(n) to chat with). Then they come over and KJ starts putting on his make-up and it looks horrible in a good way. Like, he was trying to look dead and bloody and it worked. And as far as make-up goes he looked great and the overall effect was what he was going for. P got all of her hippie stuff on and looked authentic. Really. She even borrowed my mother's leather jacket from when she was a kid. I drew a peace sign on one cheek with all sorts of colors and it looked super (I surprised myself) and a not-there-in-the-light-but-glow-in-the-dark pot leaf on the other cheek. So they are all dressed up and looking good (and it took them forever!) and I just paint my nails and go change into my clothes and I was pretty much done. I didn't put any face paint on, just more make-up than usual. And I think I looked pretty good. At least I did then, when it was warm and safe in my house.
KJ's friends that we were going with called and he went to meet them at Wal-mart while me and P went to Pierce's to see C. She looked really cool, green, but cool. We talked for a bit then went to Taco Bell. Went back home and hung out wondering why KJ wasn't there yet. La ti da ti da. Then we finally left. I drove because J was going to get a ride from a friend and then ride back with me. So P and KJ went with me in my car and his friends followed us. Halfway down while driving on the interstate going south, I noticed they were getting pretty far back there and pulling over. P and KJ didn't believe me at first, but then they called and said there was a problem with their car. So I got off the the next exit, went back on going north, got off at the closest exit and got back on going south. Pulled up behind them and followed them, going 30 mph on the interstate. Twice, not once but twice I almost got hit by semi's going too fast and waiting until the last min to change lanes. It was scary. KJ and P tell me that I was looking in the mirror saying "Big truck, big scary truck, big, big truck". When they were saying it later I didn't understand why and then they made fun of me some more. So going 30 we got off on the next exit, got back on going north and got off again at the closest exit. They knew how to get home from there, so they did. And we were off on our merry little way.
So finally in Madison, finally near State st. Well, I don't know how to get around State. I get lost every time!! Every fuckin time. I decided to park where I knew I could get out. Just because it happened to be a couple of blocks away...so be it. Manohman tho. It was fuckin cold! I was wearing a thin little tshirt and a sweater duster. Not enough. So we walk up and down State trying to find Subway which is where J told us to meet him. Finally, after asking 3 groups of cops (they don't travel alone) and various other people we find it and he's not there. But I got a call and it was a confusing mess where I couldn't hear anything but I got it across to him that we were at Subway and he got there a few mins later. By now we're all freezing and unhappy cause there aren't any coffeehouses open. So we give up and go hang out in Big Mike's Super Subs for a half hour. Everyone else gets soda and I just sat there and enjoyed the warmth.
After that we left. It wasn't that exciting of a time. Sure there were some great costumes and all, but I would have had soo much more fun if it was warmer. Damn Wisconsin. There were people wearing less than me tho. There was a cupid wearing only wings and underwear. Adam and Eve wearing leaves. Someone dressed up as a big penis with only a beige sheet. Plenty of other costumes that were really original but I can't remember right now cause I'm pretty fuckin tired. I think we should have went to the Amazon. I was too tired to dance but at least it would have been warm. Seriously, after we walked back to my car I had to massage my feet to get feeling back in them. Granted I wore sandals but still.
MMmmmmm coffee
