Halloween Week

The Thursday before Halloween, I went with Jennifer to the Pirates of Emerson, The Haunting Fields in Fremont. We had a blast. It was really fun to go with just the 2 of us because we didn't get to "hide" as often from the people trying to scare us. It made it more scary and more fun. What I learned is that if I can find something scary humorous, it becomes way less scary. Case in point: We decided on the next attraction based on the length of the line... meaning there was absolutely no one in line so we decided to go to the main Pirates of Emerson attraction. There was this spooky guy crouching down like Quasimodo or something at the end of a long hallway when we first entered and Jennifer says, "How long have you been there for? There was no one in line. You've been waiting a while haven't you?" (or something to that affect) I couldn't help but laugh and so he became more funny than scary when he scurried off. We caught up to him again later and I still laughed. Also in the Gordello (the haunted Brothel attraction) I told one of the dead hookers that Jennifer called her a slut and she laughed and said that she knows my voice and knew it was me and not her. Then later Jennifer yelled "SLUTS!" at a couple girls and one of them was like "WHORES, honey! We're whores." It was so hilarious!!

Now this is not to say that I wasn't still scared sh*tless in these haunted mazes/houses. I was scared twice by one witchy monster thing in one attraction. I yelled back at her that it wasn't fair for her to scare me once I left the room she was in. Also at the end of the Pirates of Emerson attraction this guy came out of no where and roared or something. I was walking behind Jen and I jumped and may have pushed her a little or something I don't remember, but she turned around, saw the guy and took off running. I TRIED to run away but couldn't!! There was some sort've wavy/moving wooden bridge like thing that I kept tripping on. I screamed from the guy scaring me at first and then I was yelling because Jennifer left me!! and I couldn't escape. I ended up running out of the house like a freak. I swear I probably looked like I was doing one of those tires-on-the-ground exercise thingies with my legs and feet flailing all over the place and not running in a straight line. That darned bridge thing was almost the death of me.

So, as you can see... I had a blast.

Then the next night, Friday, I went with Dawn and Veronica and 5 of their other friends to the Sharks game and then to a bar in San Jose to celebrate Dawn's birthday. The Sharks won (YAY!) and I again... had a blast. Since it was the day before Halloween at this point, there were lots of people in costume at the game. At one point they put someone in a Waldo costume up on the Jumbo-tron and it became like a mission for a couple of us to try to find Waldo in the crowd. Eventually we found him and all had a good laugh. There was this little boy sitting with his family in front of us. I swear his mom was regretting bringing him tot he game after they left. He kept wanting to interact with us and basically was only half paying attention to the game. He gave each one of use high fives and fist bumps and kept asking him mom if he was allowed to have the candy that some of the people were having. He tried to play a form of patty cake with Veronica and at one point we think he might have looked up the skirt of one of Veronica's friends. The kid was like 8 or something.

After the game we went to the Britannia Arms, which is only about 2 or so blocks away from the HP Pavilion. (By the way, I hadn't heard of this place before and when Dawn first mentioned it I was like "who is that?" HAHAHA!) There was this one guy who dressed up as JT's "dick in a box" and I asked him to take a picture with Dawn since he was you know... holding a present... and we were out for Dawn's birthday after all! Anyway, it turns out he had some sort've giant blow up penis in his box and he started to inflate it for the picture. The giant pink blow up thing had huge eyes and a grin at the end of it. We all had a good laugh at that. Once I upload the photo onto my laptop I'll edit the post and add it in.

And finally on Halloween, Jennifer had a Birth-o-ween Party. I made her a Dragon Birthday cake because it was Halloween. Nick had the bright idea to put "Jenzilla" on the side of the cake, so I did that. Her party was a costume party, so I dressed up as.... Victoria from Twilight! I think it turned out pretty good. My hair wasn't quite up to par with her hair, but I did the best I could with what I've got (meaning my thin dark hair). My sister sprayed the color in for me and her and my mom pinned in leaves, which I thought gave it a nice touch. :) As with the Dick in a Box photo, I'll post my Halloween costume photo later.

I was surprised to see Jefferey Sam at the party. I haven't seen him since high school I think. I didn't get to chat with him as much as I would have liked. I was all hyped up on energy from my busy end-of-week and then we played beer pong in the garage so I was getting tipsy. I ended up leaving Jen's around 3 am... which really was more like 4 because we turned the clocks back. I got home, removed my make up, put my orange hair in a high pony tail and went to bed. I was so tired that there was no way I could spend the time to wash all the spray out of my hair at 4am! I decided that my pillowcase was going to take one for the team and I'd just wash it later. :)

I ended up waking up the next day at 4pm! Apparently my body needed rest after all that stuff!
