Watcher FeatureYup, Halloween was fantabulous for me

It usually is, but this year was especially awesome. My costume was fun, even though no one guessed it on the first try. I was Maureen from RENT, but everyone guessed Catwoman, because I went with the 'Happy New Year' sequence costume, which is Catwoman. But I still sang and danced (did the Time Warp

) and had loads of fun.
I started at a friend's house where we worked together to finish carving her pumpkin. (
[link] captioned "Bitch, I will cut you" by my friend). We costumed up and my other friend came over to walk to ~
LittleWindmills house and she helped me with makeup (HO SHIT, I WORE MAKEUP). So at the time we left (after being joined by a third friend) I looked like this:

[link] She was Tom Cruise from Risky Business but she only wore that so she could secretly be a one night stand. Her mom would kill her if her mom knew that she really was a one night stand. So she hid it XD
Anyway, we start walking and they start trick or treating. I feel like I'm too old to trick or treat, so I hung back when it came to that. But we stopped at my house to give my parents the full effect of my costume and for my friends to show off theirs, then we went to ~
LittleWindmills house and partied all night long

We played Rock Band, there was karaoke goin' on, people were screaming about Foosball and we played Never Have I Ever. I love learning the creepy stuff about my friends. Although, that's a double edged sword, and I hate letting them know what creepy stuff I've done. But it got hot at one point (okay, it was partially my fault that I was so hot- I was wearing all leather and the weather was not kind to leather-wearers) and I took off the leather jacket. So then I looked sexy, like this:

[link]At one point me and Tom Cruise/one night stand friend went out onto Windmill's porch and we realized that her porch railing is perfect for performing Mimi's "Out Tonight" (a song from RENT). So guess what I did! I hopped up on that railing and belted it out to the street

And apparently, I actually hit the notes! Meaning I sang Mimi's parts which are typically higher than I think I can hit, and I actually hit them! My friend told me so

And by god, I'm going to believe her. Now I just gotta work on Maureen's parts to match my frickin' costume XD
OH, and the day before Halloween I dressed up for school, too! I was complimented on my jacket

My feet were killing me by the end of the day though, since I wore high heels and I almost never did before. Halloween itself wasn't that bad though, 'cos I was more used to the heels by then. I got a few stares at the bus stop, because I was the only person who dressed up who went on my bus XD But school was pretty Halloween-ified. Someone was dressed as Waldo and there were four girls dressed as the Telitubbies

I showed my Child Dev teacher my costume too, and she's already shorter than me, but with my heels I felt like a giant XD She was dressed in footie pajamas too, and had her hair in pigtails, so she seemed even shorter. So yeah, school was fun last Friday.
I slept over Windmill's house that night as well, and we watched The Road to El Dorado and Tarzan! I drew a gorilla, so I'm working on lineart for that now, so I'll probably have that done pretty soon. I was planning on doing something for a bunch of people, a sort of happy Halloween thing, but I kinda got the idea waaaaaayyyy too late, so I think I'll do a Thanksgiving/holiday thing instead.
(By the way the title is a reference to a song from RENT, called Halloween- apparently written for Anthony Rapp's voice by Johnathan Larson after the initial test run, pre-Broadway/opening). And that's my fun fact for the day

)
