So, despite all the ridiculous amounts of drama around here, had an alright Hallowe'en.. got my costume all together, and despite insane difficulties in doing so, got to campus and went to GLBSU's Masquerade Ball with Daf'n'Jeff and had a very nice time. ^_^ First dance I'd been to since high school, really, but the music was for the most part reallyreally good, so that was exciting. *g* Not nearly as many people there as I'd thought there'd be, but apparently it was a good turn-out, so y'know, and the people there had some awesome costumes and were fun, so that was cool. The 5th Street Band, who played FredFest last year, did an acoustic set (well, the three of the..four or five of them who came, anyway), which was very cool, they were awesome and it was happy.
Left there sometime after 11, and we decided to go to Denny's for some food - which was fine by me cos I'd barely eaten a thing that day. (The day..had been a bit of a disaster, I'd had no sleep, I was cranky, it just sucked like mad and I'll not go into it now so I don't get cranky again remebering it all.) So we piled into Jeff's truck (me barely making the walk from the WilliC out to the student parking lot, the heels I got to go with my costume were like doooom for lil me) and went to Denny's. And found a whole bunch of people who'd been at the ball already there, so we sat with them and it was cool. *g*
And, in yet another bizarre coincidence (I seem to be surrounded by them lately), one of the girls there recognised me, though I hadn't recognised her - Jennifer, who was in the Lucia Fest with me back home years back! *laughs* Both of our grandmothers had told us the other was at Fredonia, but I'm not on campus as much anymore, and I didn't recognise her...and it occurs to me that she stopped going shortly after she was Lucia, which if I remember right, was a year or two before I was...and I was Lucia when I was, what, 13? 14? something like that. *laughs softly* So no wonder...
Got back home around 12.30 or so, and Megs and I stayed up delightfully late, playing with our older sets of U2s, in celebration of Hallowe'en and the Larrys' birthday. ^_____^ And ZooLar dressed as Jareth and I diiiiiiiied. mmmph. And Mackie... *smiles softly and melts* Mackie was dressed as an angel, and was so incredibly beautiful..... <3

Yesterday was officially Hallowe'en in Fredonia - due to it actually falling on a Sunday, a Christian day, they moved it to Saturday. (I also figure it's cos of school on Monday and all. Britt, of course, with her usual dramatic flair, adamently denies this, but.. y'know.) So, from 3-7pm, we had random spurts of kids coming to our door, and it was very fun. ^_____^ Britt and I had our costumes on, just for the fun of it, and unfortunately we ran out of our stash of mini-Snickers pretty quickly, and wound up giving out only crappy cheap lil hard candies, but.. *giggles, shrugs* It was still fun. Mostly younger kids - there were some that couldn't've been more than 3 or 4 and they were far too adorable and I died. <3 Had one group of kids probably about my sister's age, maybe a year or two younger...and there were like ten of them together, it was a bit crazy. *giggles* Altogether, I'd say we had something like.. 30ish? give or take a dozen, I'm dreadful at estimation. *giggles* But it was cool.
Then last night Megs and I played with our younger sets of U2s, again in celebration of the Larrys birthday and Hallowe'en. ^_^ And Megs'/my Lar dressed as Ziggy Stardust and I spaaaazzed. <3 But I think my Edgelet and Adam won - Edge dressed as a mad scientist, and wrote all over Adam, who was all in green - scrawling equations with liquid chalk all over a chalkboard. *giiggles merrily*

Today.. hasn't felt the least bit like Hallowe'en. *laughs softly, shaking head* But to all intents and purposes, yesterday and the day before did, so s'all good.

And I have caaandy cos Megs is a darling and sent me bunches. ^___________^ As well as R.E.M.'s new album. <3 <3 <3 *GLOMPS* You sototally rock, and soon's I get a box I'm sending you cookies and things. *giggles and hugs*

NaNoWriMo begins tomorrow.. I'm both bouncing about excited and full of pent-up stories I've been holding back for weeks, and scared shitless of the sheer colume I'm gonna need to deal with. *giggles* Again, the novel-blog is here, read and comment and hopefully it won't suck royally. ^^;;;
