Happy Halloween!!!

Ok, lots and lots to tell about, so it's gonna be a big update? Ready? Set? Go!

Yesterday (30th) we had Haunted Hume, where we decorated our dorm floor to have a bunch of kids from the Boys and Girls Club come and trick and treat through the dorms. So over the course of the previous week we'd been coming up with ideas and decorating and stuff, and finally decided on a psycho-insane-asylum theme. So a bunch of the guys got ripped white tshirts, put fake blood all over the shirts and their faces, and ran around trying to scare the kids in a strobe light and darkness. I was one of the candy passer-outer persons (in a hall with glow in the dark spiderwebs and black lights), so I got to see the affects of the scaring, which in some cases made some of the littler kids cry, which wasn't cool. But we did an awesome job, and ended up placing 2nd out of 18 floors in Hume, which means pizza party for us! And it was so much fun decorating and then doing the haunted house.

Then in the after-party for all the dorm residents, I got peer-pressured into joining a pumpkin pie eating contest. I now NEVER want to eat pumpkin pie again (or at least until Thanksgiving, whichever comes first). We couldn't use our hands, so we had to dive in face first to try and be the first to eat an entire pie. I got a little over halfway through before I just couldn't eat anymore and keep it down, but it was quite an interesting experience since it was my first food eating contest. The girl across from me decided to shove my whole head in the pie though, and so it got up my nose and so now everything smells like pumpkin pie. Not cool, not cool at all. But such is the price to pay for some fun :) UPDATE: I've added the pictures to the Hume page

They also had a costume contest, with first prize going to a guy who dressed up as "Box Man". He had wooden boxes (with no sides, just the framework) around both his feet, both his hands, around his torso, and around his head. He had to waddle everythwere cause he couldn't really move in it. Definititly one of the most interesting costumes I've seen. Jesus then won for scariest costume, probably just cause of the absurdity of Jesus being in a Scariest Costume contest. But I dunno, Jesus is mightly scary....

And now Halloween day!

It is true, nerds to get the girl in the end! :) Me and a friend of mine got tickets to see Bat Boy: The Musical on Halloween night. So we wanted to dress up, and I was thinking about being a nerd (cause I mean come on, I AM nerd, so it'd be easy and I'd get to unleash my nerdality), and she said she wanted to wear this nice dress that she hadn't had an occasion to wear to yet. But as all nerds know, hot girls do not do things with nerds. So she suggested that I be the nerd that finally got the hot girl, so we went on a "date" to see Bat Boy with me being the nerd (complete with taped glasses, pocket protector, hiked up pants, the works) and she being the hot girl. The play was awesome, and she did the hot girl part very very well. I got a lot of good compliments on my "costume", and had a blast the entire night. Definitly one of the best Halloween's ever.

Pumpkin Pi :)

Having the H-Bomb would be nice, though I'd wonder about any girl who would only start to pay attention to me because of the school I go to. Somehow I'm not suprised that though that saying you're from Harvard gets you girls (or at least the money-grubbing materalistic kind). Interesting article though.
