a fun halloween!

this halloween turned our to be one of the funnest ive ever experianced, even though i couldnt go trick or treating. i guess im too old for that anyway...darn it. but i think that that is why i had so much fun: because it was different, much different, than what im used to for every halloween

about a week ago, the cast of the play that im in, all decided that we were going to see Brighton Beach together after rehearsals, then after that, go trick or treating. but we soon realized that since Brighton is a full length, two act play, it would be too late for us to go out trick or treating, so we were in need of plans. i was already planning on having about three friends over from the play so that we could rehearse our street theatre (my school's show choir) dance and just go to rehearsals the next morning together. so i offered my house and everyone took up on the offer! it was going to be a fun all girl sleep over (it is an all girl cast). but then i realized that it would be more fun if i invited more people, so i started inviting more and more of my friends, but then things kind of got out of hand. i ended up just telling everyone that was in earshot of the invitation to come, not just the person i was intending to invite. i feel bad when one person is invited and someone else finds out about it who wasnt invited cuz then they'll feel bad, so i prettymuch invited everyone from all three plays that are going on in the troupe right now...woops! ya, i gotta fix that sympathy problem...
so after rehearsals on halloween, me and three of my friends who were working at the show, all tried to get glammed up. i was pretty upset that we couldnt just wear a nice black or white shirt and black skirt or pants, cuz thats what we usually have to wear when we work the shows. but this time, our theatre club president decided that she wants us all to wear our theatre t-shirts and black bottems. IT WAS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! i was already wearing a REALLY cute black and white layered top, and my friend found a cute black skirt on the costume rack. so i was set! but no, i had to try and make a baggy grey t-shirt and a black skirt look cute together! of course my other two friends looked adorable. they both had pulled black belts from the drawer and they looked all cute and accessorized. they insisted that i wore a belt too, so i did. i didnt look so cutely accessorized, i looked like i was TRYING to be cute and accessorized! but whatever, it looked OK, ill just never wear anything like it ever again!
ANYWAY, so they play went really good, but the whole time, i was wondering how the heck i was going to fit as many people as heard about the party, into my tiny house! there were already three car-fulls of people going to my house, just from the plays! i had NO IDEA how many people were coming that didnt leave with us from the school!
the moment of truth finally arived, and it turned out that only three other people came that didnt come with us! so there was probably about15 people there and it was really fun! we all ate pizza and other random junk, while watching The Others, which was a big hit! people slowly trickled out, and 8 girls stayed the night. after the last guy left, we put in Signs, but we all fell asleep soon after the beginning. it was a surprisingly easy night's sleep though, considering that 6 of us were crammed on the floor and the other two were curled up on either end of the couch!!! but we all had a LONG day, so i guess its not all that strange that we passed out.
so today when we all woke up, we had a breakfast of champions: poptarts, cold pizza, cressaunts, chewy bars, and leftover halloween candy!!! while we feasted, we wathced as much of Signs as we could, but we couldnt finish it. we all had to go to the school for either street theatre rehearsals, or for the work day.
so yes, i had a very eventful, fun, and TIRING halloween night. i think i should make this a tradition!!!
