Growing up, Halloween was always a bit lame. Trick or Treating was during the day. There were no worthwhile parties. I'm not a big fan of candy (shocking I know)...an d I hate scary movies.
I wasn't really looking forward to Halloween. I did buy a costume as I had been planning on setting up for a Halloween Party-but thanks to miscommunication skills that did not work out.
Halloween night I was sitting at home, watching some stupid non scary movie on tv and waiting for my friend to come home from work. I figured that I would just wind up going to bed kind of early.
My friend called home after she was done with work and asked if I still wanted to go to a party that I can casually mentioned earlier in the week that I had heard advertised on the radio. I figured what the hell and told her that I was game.
She came home and we threw together a costume for her (biker chick) and I got into my costume. We left the house and drove down to the waterfront to the bar that the party was being held at.
We waited in line to get let in. We amused ourself by looking at the other costumes people had come up with...directly behind us were two guys dressed as sperm, a guy dressed as Michael Phelps.
We finally get into the party and try to make our way through the crowd of people-not an easy task. We're heading for the bar when a guy stops me and asks me where my drink was. I chatted with him for a minute and then he disappeared in the crowd of people.
We got our drinks and we headed outside in order to get some air and get away from all the other people. We were standing outside for a short time when a guy comes over to me and starts talking to me. He and my friend seem to hit it off pretty well and we end up hanging out with the new guy and his buddies. They were all pretty nice, and it ended up being a pretty fun night.
Yesterday my friend and I headed into the city...probably not a good idea after not getting home until after 3am. We didn't have much fun, and ended up coming home after a few hours but next time we go we'll have a better idea of what we want to do.
November is going to be a really busy month for me. Next weekend I'm working overtime on Friday night. There's a semi formal for our guys, and I'm driving them to and from where the formal is. The following weekend I'm going to head home to Jersey to spend the weekend with my parents and siblings...and then the following weekend my mother is driving up here on Friday and Saturday we're going to head into the city together to go see the Christmas show at Rockefeller Center (my birthday/Christmas present to her). She'll be leaving on Sunday.
