azuriteHalloween is my favorite holiday of the year. #1, love-love-love it. I think there should be a day off on Halloween and the day after.
But sadly, such is not true. In any case, I actually had a FAB Halloween party this year! YAY! Okay, so I wasn't actually prepared... I seem to have this thing against getting everything I need *when* I need it, or preparing what I need when I should. I guess it's that procrastinator gene in me.
Anyway-- so without a real pumpkin, I had to make do with what I had-- pumpkin pie mix, a few good cookbooks, and a whole load of "goodies" like crackers, cheese, cider, etc.
I wanted people to be there by 4:30, but I didn't hear from anyone until about 4:45. My friend called and said she'd bring Pizza and some sodas. YAY, considering my whole orange chicken idea pretty much clucked out. So I waited-- while preparing corn fritters, pumpkin pie, and macaroni. I had some standby "blood soup", but I didn't make it.
So my first friend, K, shows up. Then I decide to call my friend E, and she says she's working on her English paper. Gawd, I admire her. I just can't get myself to work when it's a holiday, even when I know there's school the next day... ;_; anyway...
So then is my friend T, from another school. I totally forgot she was coming until she called. She was going to leave early anyway, just to go to this huge street party a ways from my house with some other people I knew. Another one of my friends, S, called and said she was sorry she couldn't make it-- my fault entirely because I didn't send out invites and I relied on my other friends to tell each other.
So after K and T, then came B. He's relatively cool, for a year-younger, semi-perverted short dude. T thought that B was like one of my more... uhm, psychotic friends, H. O.o;;
Then, the party REALLY started. One of my better friends, Sh, showed up with EVERYONE. I mean, like everyone. People who I thought wouldn't come within fifteen feet of my house-- who barely spoke to me outside of JROTC if it wasn't *relating* to the damned class... were here! There was So, the psychotic H, Mi (K's ex boyfriend... oops) He, Wi (a guy from another school that Sh had met at a recent competiton) G, one of my best younger buds, Aa, a short, kinda perverted, but good-natured guy, Jo, this guy G introduced me to because we all like anime... and I, this nice younger guy with his gf, Am, and one of my other girl friends, Sy. Wow. I never had a party with so many people! Better yet, they LIKED my cooking! It's not bad or anything, but usually people are just "eh" about the stuff I slave over to make. While they were out egging houses, I was busy measuring allspice! But they loved it! I must have been beaming enough to rival a lighthouse!
I think I deserve a medal-- first successful Halloween party-- even with mom home! WAI WAI!
Let's do this again NEXT year! =)
