Title: Halloween?
Post by: DW on November 01, 2008, 08:26:11 PM
So, as amazed as I am nobody's made one of these yet, how did everyone's Halloween go?

Pretty good for me, thanks. I had a pretty tough time trick-or-treating since I had a portal gun on one arm, though, which means I had to manipulate the pillowcase I was using for collecting candy with one hand. When people just let us take stuff out of a bowl or something, I had to rely on my sister to get candy for me... I got ripped off more than a few times because of her. Her "soul sister" Maureen stayed the night, and we all had a pretty good time together.

Same ol' day, really. Stayed home, played games, and waited until tonight to read that fan fiction that I planned on reading yesterday, among other things.

However, I did get to play a match of Brawl in my programming class, but the fest was cut short from an early dismissal. There's always Monday, though... >:D

TW, you realize how awesome it would be to actually have a portal gun on Halloween? Just put one end of the portal at home...

I'll get around to talking about my Halloween eventually, just don't feel like it right now >.>

Heh, I think having a functional portal gun would be awesome, period.

I got a record number of Pixie Stix this year: around 30, I'd say. Also a record low amount of Reese's Cups: only five or so. That makes me sad.

Simply buy candy; remove the middle man.

I... Didn't do anything, except reminisce about last year's halloween and what happened, how things are generally lonely for me at all times. :\

Why do that when you can dress up in fun costumes and get candy for free?

I worked until 8 PM. My friends picked me up and we ate at Pizza hut. Justin got me a Silent Hill Homecoming guide, and.... hm... Oh yeah, after Pizza Hut, we left to trick or treat, and not a single place still had their lights on.

Then we went to the beach, hung out for a bit, then went to Wal-Mart and bought our own candy. (I mostly bought tic-tacs and a sack of Jolly Ranchers)

I mostly hid back in my room.

I left school friday with my girlfriend and another friend of mine to go to Wal*Mart. Being total girls, they looked at makeup and the like while I ordered a double-stack at the Mac-Dangles. I finished eating, and they had just finished shopping for what turned out to be Halloween makeup! After some lulz, I was forced to go to Sally Beauty Supply with them. AFTER that, we went to eat at Panda Express.

They wanted to go to another store after that, and I wasn't havin' it. I had Dave and Jesus pick me up, and we ended up getting cloe too. We chilled at Jesus's place (not heaven, just to make sure nobody makes that joke), and ended up trick-or-treating up and down a few blocks. We ended it with an all out Brawl Fest (like we usually end most nights). The night was amazing, except for one set-back, which kind of ruined it all- but this isn't the relationship topic, so I won't go into that now. All in all, I made a good haul, and I'm snackin' on a Kit-kat now.

I envy you guys. You people with your candy and your friends and your ability to do whatever the hell you want.

Meanwhile I'm not sure if Commodore is dead or whatever.

Commodore has been gone over a month; I was going to make a topic about it. It worries me a little. Don't you know where his dorm is?

And hey, I did absolutely no trick-or-treating. Been too busy to work on a costume or anything. Still had some fun though. Next year...next year I'll need to make up for it. Come up with the best costume ever. In fact, I should start planning now.

If you want candy so much, go to the store and buy some like you were talking about. Since Halloween's over, it'll probably be cheaper, as well. As for those last two, I can't do whatever the hell I want (no practical mode of transportation), and I don't have any friends to hang out with. It's pretty much just me and my sister most of the time unless she has one of her friends over, which isn't often since they live on the opposite side of town. All of my friends are on the internet.

You see, we're not all living perfect lives like you seem to think.

I envy you. I was stuck with CPUs most of the time... :(

I miss Commodore, too. I hope he's doing okay...

That wasn't necessarily directed at everyone. Mainly at ZV and others who said they had a good time on Halloween.

I'm pathetic.

Also I've been having headaches all weekend. My ability to concentrate has been hindered considerably.

I made my costume with my mother.. made her content to have mother daughter time. The costume was awesome, but not extreme. In any case, I was at a football game most of the night then to the boyfriend's dad's house for 'family time.' Needless to say all but he and I were pretty drunk.

Commodore's absence is puzzling...I mean, he was so active, and now he just disappears forever...you ever get a hold of him, JQ? Or do you even know where his dorm is?

Anyways, I basically went to the game. Then went home.

...

Wasn't all that exciting. Got some sleep though, that was nice.

I know where his dorm is, I've been there once. I don't get any response from his email or anything, calling the number his name is listed with on UNCC's people finder gets some other guy, don't know who.

I guess I'll try calling that number again.

Edit, no luck. The guy that answered said it wasn't the room I thought it would be. He said he didn't want to take the call.

If that was him, it sounds like he'd be incredibly busy, but I can't be sure that it is him.
