mostly tricks, little treats

Bryanna was an old man (cane and all). And I was an old lady with a large, flat butt and saggy boobs. Our costumes were exactly $4.50, combined. -They had a “half-off of everything sale” at the White E. We set out for trick-or-treating Sunday night, with Lucas as our driver. We scored quite a bit of candy, mostly from Ms. Bagley. Sadly, the weather was pretty wet and cold, but a Happy Halloween.

which is worse?

Going to the haunted ship?
Or going to the Sheldon Jackson Dance?

The lattermost option was by far the scariest.

The haunted ship was fun, but not too terribly scary. Probably because it was all too predictable.

However, the SJ dance was beyond "scary." The best way I can describe the conjuration of "ethnically diverse" costumed people is an extension of high school GONE WRONG.

fun with whipped cream

Tonight was Nicola's 18th birthday party. Lots of fun people showed up at the Twin Dragon wearing "weird clothing." I came in a bathrobe, plaid shoes, a wacky hat, and HUGE sunglasses. Clea came in her Interlochen socks and a pleated mini-skirt. Hannah and Kirsten came matching in wacky nylons, poofy vests, and their weird personalities. Emily came in a hula skirt.
After weirding out the Chinese people, we went to Nicola's. We had cake/pie/ice cream/sparkling cider and opened presents. We also read a few excerpts from the "Mammoth Hunter." (hehe)
Later, I had the bright idea of inventing/suggesting the game "spin the whipped cream bottles." I took pictures... They're under the link "pictures" and "Nicola's B-Day."

language fest

If you think music fest is the equivalent of geek fest, then you’ve never been to language fest. Language fest is the weirdest, yet funniest experience you can have on a school sanctioned trip. After waking at 3 am to be at the airport by 4:30, 21 of us bis (bi-lingual, that is) hopped on the plane to Juneau. Upon arriving we jammed onto a bus to JDHS.
That was where I learned of my afternoon plan. Because Brit chose not to come (apparently I was paired with her for housing), I was paired with “Jo-Hon.” In case you know not who he is, he is THE “Filipino Lisp” that you see at McDonald’s.
Now, not only was I going to be housed with a guy, which is very unorthodox for the school, but we were also going to be going to a French radio show. -Just the two of us with our housing people. Mrs. Will assured us that the radio show would be no longer than one hour. It turned out the show lasted for nearly three hours of French music and speaking. Good times.

she was back?

Several weeks ago, the crazy lady seemed to have disappeared. Myself and many other locals drove around town with binoculars, video cameras, and other spy equipment looking for "GiGi." I heard that she was sent out of town on an airplane. Where? -I know not.
However, recently, a reliable source notified me that they saw her at SEARHC hospital on the "4th Floor" (known for its crazy patients). A few days later, it was reported that she was seen being "escorted" out of the building by two police officers.
It is now rumored that she is at Lemon Creek in Juneau.
