First:
My knitting group was nice. 3 women, varying learning stages, one of whom had moved out from California only 1 month ago. Crazy. She's from LA, though. The sad thing was that I forgot my extra yarn, and I reached the end of my ball only about 2 minutes into knitting. Well, next time. It was still fun.
Second:
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
I was so bummed all day. I think this is the first Halloween I will not be celebrating. Damn. I worked at the restaurant till 11, then ran back to the hostel to work over night. Even if I wasn't working, I wouldn't have had anything to do. Sigh.
Work sucked. I sat on my ass folding shit, thinking about how un-Halloweeney it was. Even the kids trick or treating at the mall didn't make it to the back where I was. It was long. No, not long. Loooooong. Whatever. Now I am just going to blast my music, and try to get in the right mind frame, for the last 20 minutes I have left. Yay for Halloween! Boo.
I vow, right here and now, I shall never let another Halloween pass by uncelebrated. As god is my witness...
Maybe it has something to do with the year. I didn't celebrate for the first time this year, and I don't plan on ever not celebrating again.
Happy Halloween!

...this year was my first year in aaaggggeeeessss that we were back on the halloween circuit...here in ingerland it is more a night for violence and extortion than fun and frivolity...as a teacher it was always a good idea to keep a low profile...this year we decided to leave the lights on and make it known we would welcome the (new) locals to our house...only 4 kids knocked on the door - we have loads of sweets left :^)...

Beth, I am with Kara. Next year, Santa Clara, Nate's house 10/31/04! I'll even let Kara host the costume contest. Yeah, working on Halloween sucks, but let's hear it for all you who do the end-of-month royalty reports, we will never have a Halloween off!

i must say my halloween wasn't so great either, although i think the thing that saved me was my red stapler...you see i was milton for halloween; stapler, lighter, mustache, rash face, pocket protector and all. i think you would have been very entertained!

Ah, Beth, I'm sorry you didn't have a good time. Definately next time. Like yourself a few days ago, I was up til 4am. Although I was just causing trouble and not...talking. I missed you this year, if you're not back by next year I'm going to come out there, find you, and scare the hell out of you with crazy, psychotic clowns. But only 'cause I love you.

Wow I had no idea so many other people had sucky Halloweens too. I had to work that night plus the next morning at 6 so partying was out of the question. Although I was in "costume" as a guard, and I got to yell at some drunk peeing on the Administration building, it was nowhere near as exciting as my plans for dressing up like Hedwig. That will have to wait for next year. The spirit of Halloween must have wanted you to see that.
