Halloweeen

Things that I liked about Halloween this year:

1. Disneyland went crazy and throughout the week there were giant magical scary mythical creatures parading/leaping around in the dark on stilts with magic atmospheric lighting and drumming. I kept trying to talk about that part in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe when the White Witch summons her minotaurs and spectres and boggles to be in her army, but no one here has read that so never mind. Still pretty amazing.
2. There were pumpkins everywhere and everyone in the kitchen was given one and told to carve it. My friend Papa-D (whose real name I can't spell or pronounce so Papa-D will have to do for now) said "Sara - do mine for me?" SO I GOT TO CARVE A PUMPKIN! Which was partly gross but mostly AWESOME! I made mine with the silhouette of a ghost. THEN, it turned out it was a competition, and I won second place! Hooray!
3. Riikka, Rachael and I decorated our apartment in proper Halloween style. This was one of my favourite parts - especially my Halloween mobile that I made by tying household items to bits of string and hanging them from the ceiling. I found the forks and spoons the most frightening.
4. People came to our apartment for drinksandlols after work on the 30th which was funny.. as no one dressed up except for Riikka, Rachael and I.. But that's fine. I was a cat. It was lovely and relaxed and we drank, but not too much, and laughed and laughed and that was fun.
5. At work on the 31st, Disney had brought in these professional make up artists who were there specifically to paint the faces of Disney employees. HOW GREAT. So that was sick. I was a cat (again) and prowled around the restaurant. Throughout the entire evening customers would miaow and purr at me and I loved it. I lost count of the number of tables. And sometimes I'd forget about my feline face and be really confused... That was really fun I have to admit. There was this table of little Spanish kids who shrieked and wooped every single time I walked past "Gato Gato Gato". Purrrrfect.
6. That evening we heard talk of this soiree that someone from the Boiserie was putting on. Riikka, Danielle and I decided to give it a go. It was in this sort of Party Hall place with a DJ and lights and cobwebs everywhere. Slightly weird evening though - Very frightening considering the number of skeletons and zombies who were creeping around.. (not to mention the European boys - who in my opinion can be just as creepy) But it was fab and I had a lot of fun dancing and 'pretending' to be a cat. (I was a cat)

I was a cat.
