Happy Halloween Weekend
Awh yeah, Happy Halloween y’all. I’m actually at Lynchburg College tonight (about an hour south of UVA) visiting the incredible Samantha Halbreich, so I can’t upload anything, but I’ll hook you up with a formal Halloween update tomorrow after my monstrous Psych midterm demolishes me. Anyway, for Halloween I’m being Ralph Waldo Emerson - we didn’t get a chance to make it to the costume store so I just borrowed a bunch of my friends clothes and started theorizing about transcendentalism and shit - and my costume consists of a tweed jacket, a v-neck sweater, a scarf, and a corncob pipe, and I’m also staunchly opposed to organized education and institution, and I’m a big fan of embracing nature and intuition. My future-roomate Eric is Henry David Thoreau (so we’re like a transcendentalist tag-team), and my other future-roomate Andrew completes the theme as, um, a witch. We’re pretty much the most badass triumvirate since Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey. The transcendentalist shit was a decent hit last night with the UVA crowd, but so far of a random sampling of the Lynchburg population, only Sammy knew who the notorious R.W.E. actually was. So we’ll see how that goes. But yeah, I’ll be sure to update with pictures and Halloween-themed MP3s later.
BUT FOR NOW: In the comments tell me what you’re gonna be for Halloween and I’ll send custom mix CDs to whoever has the most indie/awesome/creative costume or just whoever has a costume that I think is particularly clever. Laura Wilson has already reported that she’s being a bunny, so the bar has already been set pretty high, because that’s basically the most indie/original/creative thing I’ve ever heard. So yeah, comment and whatnot. Alright, time for a night of girls dressing overly-conservatively, Capri Sun, and Halloween-themed board games.

I was an airline stewardess (not flight attendant) but compared to the store-bought and rented costumes it wasn’t skanky or creative

Well my mate’s havin’ a superhero themed party for it and I’m going as “The Indie-Kid”, which basically involves a massive side part, lotsa badges on my cape and chuck taylors. Basically what i wear everyday minus a cape and with vintage undies on the outside
