I am a fare maiden. People pay me to sail their ship.

Today after work I got dinner with Brian and Dave at Chinoise. Had sushi which was decent but overpriced, and tempura which was AWFUL and overpriced. Yeah. Was fun to hang out though... hard to explain, but there's just something neat about being with my CMU classmates. Yeah. Dave gave me a ride home, and then I played Puzzle Pirates all evening, while doing laundry. I spent like 4 hours jobbing for Farren and going all over the damned place, which was kinda cool because now I've been to a ton of islands, but kinda sucked because after like 3 hours, my cut was only 740 poe... I came back and Alie and I took a boat out pillaging and my cut 25 mins later was 600 poe. Yeah. Well, still, it was good to hang out with Farren; it'll be even better once I don't care about money. Carl was also on board, and Manglodin was running the ship, which meant I couldn't do gunnery. YAR!

Oh yeah, so I was up to 7500 poe, so Alie lent me another thousand and I bought a ship off Mnemosyne. It's the Famous Blowfish. HAHA. Also, for Halloween, all our characters look like zombies and skeletons. It's kinda cool :)

I wonder if I'll wear my pirate costume all day at work tomorrow or just put it on at 3pm... guess I'll decide when I wake up :) (Kids come trick or treating, but I might just wear it all day for fun.)

friday halloween five

1. What was your first Halloween costume?
Dunno, I think my mom made me a clown costume when I was a year and a half old.

2. What was your best costume and why?
Oh, I love a lot of my costume ideas... :) Freshman year of college I dressed up as sk4p, for example. And of course I wore a DDR Costume a few years back. And this year I am a PIRATE! ARRRRR!

While I never wore it on Halloween, the costume I am proudest of is Capture the B34R. It was just very original and very fun, and even Piro and Dom liked it. Sadly, it took me over a month to handsew, but I really should wear it again sometime.

3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn't give you a treat?
No. Huh?

4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
Not really. I guess the biggest thing I do annually around Halloween is go shopping for candy the day after :)

5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend!
This isn't a scary story. A few years ago I went trick-or-treating around Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh with some of my other CMU friends, and we rang the doorbell, shouted "Trick or Treat!!!" and the people just stared at us for a second and said "You guys are Carnegie Mellon students, aren't you." Of course, we replied "Yeah. How could you tell?" Then we all laughed and they gave us a ton of candy because their street was pretty dark.


In case you are wondering, I decided to wear my costume to work today. My group decided to go to the international district for lunch. Fuckers. So Ann and I are going to go get lunch in the cafe in a minute or two, since she is in costume too :)
