Halloween Pics, and Then Some Words, and Maybe More Pics

Some pictures first:























So, those are the pictures.

Halloween was, in a nutshell, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Wow I seem to use those words a lot whenever I'm describing a great event. But it really was a whole lot of fun. A lot of people gave Jae and me amused looks whenever we walked by in our sumo costumes. Omg. SUMO. I am in love with the costume, although the zipper on mine malfunctioned so we had to use duct tape to seal the suit. Ah well. It worked.

I'm too lazy to describe everything that went on :P But basically, we were on the 2nd floor of the Elks Club, people were walking around in all sorts of costumes, Nico and his friend Kevin were DJing, and, yeah. You get the idea. It was dark and clubby (as is appropriate), and a bit too hot and stuffy for my liking; I was wearing 2 layers of clothes underneath my sumo costume, and because all the openings (neck, sleeves, legs) on the costume had elastic, air couldn't really get out. And the puny little fan blowing air into the costume was only blowing in warm air anyway.

But my hands-down favorite part of the night was the COSTUME COMPETITION! Jae and I signed up for it, hahaha.

Basically, contestants are given a number (from 1-30); you can compete either solo or in a pair/group. We got number 8. When the competition was about to begin, they told everyone to clear a huge circle in the middle of the dancefloor. And then they began to read out your numbers, one by one, and you have a minute or two to perform and dance in the middle. I went, "oh shit," or something along those lines, when I found out.

Okay, so we now needed a plan of attack. I thought, "we should dance back to back so our stomachs face the crowd." He added that we should then turn around and dance face to face. And then tango.

Yes, you read that right; tango.

He was just like ">:) follow my lead." So we kinda practiced the moves a bit, rotate out, rotate in, rotate.. somewhere (I have no idea what the proper terminology is by the way), and dip. Yes dip. I got the girl's part because I can't tango and, well, yea. Sigh.

Soon enough, Nico, on the mic, goes, "No. 8, MAH BOYS JAE AND HISHAM!!!!"

Here. We. GOOOOO!!!!!!!




LOL. Okay sorry I only have 2 pics and no videos. Omg, it was so much fun though, we just got out there and went CRAZY!!! And the tango went well! I think. I was so afraid of screwing up though... but it would've been funny if I'd just tipped over and crashed on the ground.

Yea. It was awesome!

So, then we made it into the top 5 finalists. Later on they had the 5 finalists do small jigs again. Which was so much fun, haha.



AND WE GOT THIRD PLACE! WHOOHOO! Well the prize is only like worth $10 but who cares, we WON THIRD PLACE! Uh I have to say that it was Jae's idea to do the sumo costumes, so it's kinda his fault that we got third place, so yeah XD



WHOO! HAHA!

Uh but we lost to this guy in drag with a really bad wig, who got first place. He was so funny though, he was totally in character and teased the crowd when they called out his number during the judging sessions; there's a pic of him somewhere above, he's the Japanese guy with a blond wig in a cheongsam.

So yea. BOOYA!

Hm, after that Jae and I were kinda pooped because it had been so warm underneath our sumo suits all night long, so he took his off first, and then I took mine off soon after. We hung out with June, Carolyn, and the rest outside of the clubbing room for awhile, where it was much cooler and less stuffy. We decided to go to Denny's afterwards, so at about 1 am I went home with my brother and took a shower. Then at around slightly past 2 am they called and off to Denny's we went! :)









We were so hungry and absolutely exhausted. It was fun though. The food was great. Talked a lot about random crap. So yea, after awhile we all went back to my place for a big ol' sleepover; everyone kinda fell asleep really fast (except for me) because we were all exhausted.

So yea; that was my Halloween night. Bwaha.

It was really awesome and so much fun; I have no idea how I'm gonna top what I did this year. At least I'm gonna have a whole year to think about it. I can't wait.

I loved the Halloween party, and I love my friends. They rule! :) Totally made the night special, haha.
