haloween

This is one more thing I really don't understand- haloween. Trick or treat, pumpkins, scary costumes...WHAT IS THE POINT? 'Well its for fun you idiot' I can hear you all say to me. Well then make a special day of fun on the bloody calendar then! Don't sneak it in under the guise of some day that makes witches and dracula suddenly become stylish all over again.
There was a haloween party in our hall last night. There were plenty of Draculas, one or two walking corpses, witches, blood-splattered doctors and even someone dressed as Hunter.S.Thompson who I had blogged about yesterday but who I never assumed could become a haloween character. I had a drink, played pool with Vid (wearing angel wings), Louisa, Rama and later a lot of other people I didnt even know. Q was superwoman complete with a red cape (her towel) and was determined to dance wherever she was or how far she happened to be from the music. Two guys fought by the Elvis machine in the corner and the smaller guy kept coming back later saying 'Im sorry! I'm so sorry!' over and over again to the other guy. Another guy dressed as a wizard and brandishing a wand kept shouting loudly at people and pointing his wand at them. He did the same thing on the pool table when we were playing-Iwas lining up for a shot when this maniac starts pointing at the balls and shouting something that no one could understand at the top of his voice. I suspect he was very drunk or maybe he was a real wizard. It's so hard to tell these days. All in all a bit bizzare even for haloween. Being sober and totally sane in that bar made you the odd person out by a million miles.
Kicked my brother's ass in scrabble in one of the highest-scoring games we have ever had (I was only 2 points under 400) and then slept so peacefully and blissfully that I could barely get out of bed for lunch.
