Halloween (def.): Holiday in which life temporarily becomes eerily similar to a Tim Burton film...

So I complimented someone on their paper kitten ears today. You just gotta love the randomness that is Halloween.

:D

I did the most pathetic thing I've ever done for extra credit on Wednesday. My mythology prof decided she'd give 5 extra credit points to anyone who dressed up this week as a Greek mythological character. So purely in the interest of education (and raising my grade, which is currently borderline "you're kinda stupid,") I showed up to class on Wednesday dressed up as Zeus. Since it was my last class of the day I was forced to sit through my prior two classes looking rather ridiculous. But I just kept responding to all the laughter and mocking with this mental litany: "I am secure in myself. I don't care what people say about me. I wish this cardboard thunderbolt was real, so I could fry all these morons to ashes."
It got me through.

:D

Went through a "haunted" tour of the Quirk Theater last night with Jasmine...I did not get nearly as scared as I thought I would. But Matt was one of the zombies that was supposed to scare us, and even though his makeup was very good, it kind of ruins the effect when you know the person. Plus in the midst of all of the hysterical screaming and laughter, I saw Matt break character and laugh, and that COMPLETELY took me out of the moment. I have to admit though, the room where they re-enacted a scene from "The Ring" DEFINITELY got to me. That was the point when I grabbed onto the nearest body and shook with terror. (The body happened to belong to a burly 6'5 football player I met just before beginning the tour. It should've been an awkward moment, but wasn't, because as it so happened, he was shaking in terror too...)
