Halloween, Costumes & Explosions

It's that time of the year when I scramble frantically for a relatively easy costume to put together for Halloween. This year instead of red gloves it's bunny ears. Not just any pair of bunny ears... No - not fuzzy, no glitter/sparkles/shiny, must be white, must be bendable and long would be a plus. I wandered through at least 8 different stores... It was Faith all over again! This year they were Reisen bunny ears. :3

You know you are a geek when you purposely dress up (hm, the more suitable term in my case would be cosplaying) as a character from an extremely niche market and you know that a good 97% of the people who will see it won't know where it's from. To my surprise though, one person did recognize my costume at the party but that was after I told them that it was from "an obscure Japanese shmupvertical shooter." And for those who really had no clue, "Japanese bunny school girl" was a good enough description for me.

Now that I have a new costume... I think I can reuse this again. Maybe I'll get a wig, though I am a disaster at maintaining wigs. I gave up on trying to straighten my Lacus mop-of-a-hair back in the day. I'm unsatisfied with my ears though, they just aren't long enough but there was one girl at the party who had an awesome pair of perfect long ears but she got it at a game stand at PNE/Playland. Not sure if I'd ever get a chance to go there and force myself to win myself a pair of ears... or if it'd even be there by the time I visit the place again.

I almost didn't end up going to the party. Sty's been busy packing and was tired so she didn't wanna go. It took me about three tries to actually get her moving, the main reason I used (and was the truth) was that I couldn't face the scary cupcake girl by myself. But the three tries took about three hours before we finally got to Gar's place three hours late. Luckily it was because we got there late, cupcake girl was already deep in conversing and boasting about her cupcakes so I had nothing to fear. I kept my box closed until the end of the party.

Sadly also because we got there late, there wasn't much food left. Although while I was waiting at home, I raided some of my brother's food so I was pretty good without. We watched "Halloween" movies on tv... the scary/horror flicks and the like. Ugh Saw II/I. ;(

When there's Halloween, there's fireworks. Fireworks are only cool when you're the one playing with them. Besides that, they're annoying and loud. A bit past midnight, we made our round of noises in backyard and came back in smelling deliciously smokey. That followed with the revealing of my cupcaaakes, and the consumption of more candy, baked+salted pumpkin seeds, garlic bread (?!), pop?!

I think I'm eventually going to run out of easy costumes to do...

Then I get to go back to elaborate sewing.
Before that though, I'd probably have to get myself a sewing machine.
