Trick or Treat

You can probably guess what the topic of my post is today, yes that's right it's Halloween!

Halloween is split up into 3 types of people who love it;

1) Little children who dress up and go trick or treating to get as many sweets and chocolate from their neighbours as they can

2) Students who just want to dress up (girls normally as slutty as possible) and get really drunk

3) Americans (just an observation but Americans do seem to LOVE Halloween)

So, I suppose I fit into the second category but I can't say I am the biggest fan of it, I mean I know people who were as excited about Halloween as they are about Christmas, in my eyes there is no comparison, Christmas is a time about family and friends and warmth and happiness, Halloween is about trying to scare people etc, not anywhere near as fun.

But I did participate, Im not a complete scrooge about it and I did dress up (as a zombie cat haha) and I did go to a Halloween party and then to a club and I did have fun. I can't say my experience of Halloween has been great since being a student, last year I spent hours getting ready and a decent amount of money, only to get to the club and realise I wasn't with any of my friends, text them and find out they all went straight back home as one of the girls was being sick so I got a taxi back home after only being in the club 10mins. This year wasn't nearly this bad although I didn't spend very long getting ready or any money (I made my cat ears out of paper) as I wasn't expecting a great night. The house party was really fun then we decided to head to the club, walked out the front door and it was tipping it down with rain! So we RAN the mile journey to the club by which time I was already pretty wet, only to then have to line up outside and wait another 30mins to get in, it is safe to say by the time I got in the club I was soaked! At this point I decided I was not staying long I was not getting pneumonia for the sake of a night out but stayed about half an hour as I had payed for my ticket might as well have a bit of a boogy. Luckily I found another of my friends in the club who was smashed out of her face and needed to go home so walked to the chip shop with her and then sat there chatting for about an hour hearing her whole life story and helping her through some problems before deciding it was far too wet and cold and I went home to dry off and snuggle up in bed. All in all a much better Halloween than the last but still not great.

How I started the night looking as a nice and dry zombie cat

How I looked by the time I got into the club, as you can see I wasn't enjoying  the rain much!

For a change I am still at uni tonight even though it is a Thursday I would just be home alone if I went back tonight so decided to stay. I am going back around lunch time tomorrow and will pick Bruno up from the dog sitter as I don't want to be home alone. Am seeing Nick Saturday, not sure what we are going to do but will keep you posted, hope everyone had a good Halloween :)
