Hallow

Nothing too interesting is going on tonight. I feel like such a copout this Halloween. I'm not even using it as an excuse to dress funny. I have a midterm tomorrow so my plans are... studying... mixed in with The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'm getting apathetic about school again. It's right about now when I stop trying to turn a new leaf and be the super student.

The topic of tranferring to Cal keeps coming up and the smart thing to do would be to look into it before my chance passes. I always wanted to go to school there. It'd be nice to spend two years in Nor Cal.

(Shrug.) I missed a class today. I vow to miss less classes starting now.

Petco is pretty loose about their return policy on fish. You just bring them a dead fish and a receipt and they give you credit. We've killed four of their fish since Friday and they just keep handing them out.

Scarlett and I opted for the store credit. We're just not ready to lose any other fish just yet. I hope everyone is enjoying their candy.

Should Be Studying

Check that. I killed four fish since Friday. Somehow, some way, I killed Becky's fish. We put Pumpkin in there to see if he needed playmates. Then he died.

Eep.

I'm a killer. Watch out, you.

I'm very excited for my Veteran's Day weekend trip. I wish I was more crafty and knew how to keep secrets and surprises. Robert's better at that.

I want to bring him a million presents and make it perfect. It will be, all the same.

It doesn't feel like Halloween yet. And I love this holiday too. I wish I would have decorated and sewed a Sally dress and bought some candy to give. I've always wanted to be Sally for Halloween. You can be my Jack Skellington.

R.I.P. Pumpkin

Pumpkin died today.

We changed the water to give him a nice, clean bowl. We put some food in the bowl in case he was hungy. He was fine a few hours ago. He kept swimming on his side and finally, he just laid on the bottom and stopped making his cute googly faces. Oh, Pumpkin.

I'm the problem here. I've killed three goldfish since Friday. The people at Petco must laugh at me on their cigarette breaks.

I need a hug.

Let Me Work It

The 99 cent store is heavenly. I made some great buys with my dormies tonight. I got two plants, a heart-shaped box of Altoids, a ceramic orange, Pasta Anytime and some single servings of Mr. and Mrs. T. Bloody Mary mix. Aww yeah.

You get so much great stuff for so little. Brilliant.

Earlier today I was listening to music with my headphones on when some intense beeping interrupted. The hall stank of smoke. Confused as to whether our hall was burning down or Julian fucked up his cooking again, we wandered outside.

Oh. Julian fucked up cooking again...

So much that the fire department and police department had to come and shut down the alarm.

But hey, the fire and police departments have never come to my house before. A first for everything, I guess.

Halloween is just an excuse to dress slutty. That's how it was in high school and I predict that's how it will go in college as well. This one girl from high school that used to dress even sluttier on Halloween went on to work at Hooters and eventually, a strip club. Daaamn.

Girls, girls, if it's 9 to 5, worth shaking your ass. Ain't no shame, ladies, do your thing. Just make sure you're ahead of the game. Hee.

One Fish, Two Fish

Fish don't smell so nice after they've been floating dead for a weekend. That was Grade AA Fancy RANK. Scarlett and I got our story straight and went to Petco to return Tomato and get a new fish.

I mean, fish just shouldn't die within a few hours. That's never happened to me before. It really did make me sad. It took me a while before I decided on Tomato's name and I was so happy to have him.

But there is a new fish in our bowl. His name is Pumpkin and he's ORANGE! Let's hope he makes it through the day. Then I'll know that it isn't me.

I've decided to drive to Santa Cruz for Veteran's Day weekend. I'm taking Becky with me and I imagine it will be like Crossroads. I'll be Britney Spears and Becky can be... oh, I don't remember.

And don't make fun of me for seeing Crossroads. When you're flying from LAX to Heathrow and you can't sleep, there isn't much to do besides watch every movie available and beat Super Mario World.

But I did like Virgin because they have some cheeky little flight attendants that dance around the aisles when they come around with "Coffee or tea?"

I can't wait to see Robert. I'm bringing my mini skirts and feather boa and we're going to stay in his room from the time I get there until the time I leave... taking bathroom and food breaks only. He also requested that I bring my Catholic school girl getup. When you see your love once a month, you have to make it extra fun.

I might even bring baked goods.

Monster Massive

Now that was interesting. Good or bad? It had high and low points. As far as raves go... I have decided that I will never spend that much money for a ticket. $5 raves, that I'll do. It may or may not be the last one I ever go to considering that it was a great deal of fun. Next time I'll be better prepared and know what to expect.

Fun things that Tiffany saw:

1. BUNNY GIRL. This girl was so cute. She was a petite asian with 4 inch platforms and all she was wearing was a furry pink bikini with a bunny tail on her butt. And... you could see a whole lot of that. With 40,000 people at a rave, I sure ran into her a lot.

2. ONE FOOT PLATFORMS. Not on one person but two. I observed that people dress up silly in numbers to make themselves feel more secure. Makes sense, non? It was just weird! The shoes came up to MY knees!

3. FRIENDLY PEOPLE. When you're all dropping, everyone wins! I was meeting friends left and right. There was one time when I was leaning against a wall (ah, so tired) and it must have only been for a couple minutes. It was a high traffic area. And 5 guys came up to say hi to me or hug me and another one wanted to take a picture of me.

4. BRACELET GIRL. I was dressed up schoolgirly and I ran into many others. One of them stopped me when I was walking and said "Wait!" as she removed one of her many bracelets to place it on my wrist! She then took a picture with me and hugged me. Cute.

5. JUNGLE. Underrated is all I have to say. I wish I could dance as funny.

Schoolgirly, that's me. I had fishnets and a pleated skirt and a tied white shirt complete with a tie and pigtails. Ravers are a little funny anyway but for Halloween they pull out all the stops! Lots of weird shit.

And as for bad things... I was really tired from partying "'til 6 in the morn" the night before. I fell asleep on the dance floor a couple times. People just throw drugs at you at these things... really! Some guys wanted to smoke me out and I passed, if you can believe it. Brandon didn't pass though! And that was some of the weakest ecstasy that has ever been made, I'm sure. The lights just didn't have their halos and touch was not so sensitive. It went like *that*. Two hours and I had peaked and come back down. Oh yeah, and I was freezing the whole night. I don't know how Bunny Girl pulled it off.

Last time? I think not. I don't know what all the hubbub was about. Nothing bad happened. No AIDS needles, no fights, no death, just good old people having fun. If the opportunity presents itself and it's cheap, Tiffany will go to another rave. Final summation: Fun.
