Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble

Bloody firefox crashed on me when blogger refused to save my draft.
$%^$@#%^*&()*(*^%^$$#@!!!
Anyway, Happy Halloween!
It's also known as All Hallows’ Eve,
and its the night when the division between earthly reality & the spirit world vanishes.
Read about its origins here.

But unfortunately, we didnt meet any supernatural beings that night.
Only the wannabes. haha.

Halloween festivities start with pumpkins, no?

I tell you, pumpkin carving is extremely hard work.
Especially for a first-timer.
You have got to cut off the top and then scrape out the gooey insides before carving.
Depending on how lucky, or unlucky you are,
the pumpkin you got would be either extremely hollow or extremely fleshy.
You wouldn't like the latter, as that means a lot of effort removing the stringy & fleshy bits.
It's a pretty gross activity, but it fits the spirit of Halloween very well.
I felt like i was ripping Mr pumpkin's guts out.
And he was literally FULL OF GUTS. :(

Tadah, behold my ugly Jack-0-lantern. hahaha.

Evil eyes, check.
Evil grin, check.
Ill-fitting top, check. (I didn't do a good job of removing the head.)
Smelly hands, check.
Stained clothes, check.

Soon after, a growing herd of jack-o-lanterns joined mine.

Even on Friday night, I was still fretting over what to dress up as.
I didn't want to spend money & I was being lazy, as usual.
Eventually, I'm frumpy Cinderella without a happily-ever-after.
Which means fairy godmother didn't show up, I didnt meet no Prince Charming,
and I'm forever destined to scrub floors and toilets & be bossed around.
Check out my floor brush and yellow gloves!
Rah thinks i look like Dutch Lady Milk Maid. hahaha.
Anyway, that's Tania, as a crazy french maid with her feather duster.

Haha, I became Yoko Ono for 5 minutes,
(by default since they needed an asian face),
when Vicente donned a hippie wig and glasses
and ended up looking like John Lennon.
Haha. He's originally a pirate.

The poster to complain about our lousy bus service.
It got vandalised by my friends. haha.
Lots of crude and crass drawings!

The Boileroom, Guildford

It's a great venue.
Good live music.
Electrifying atmosphere.
Cool, unpretentious crowd.

Santa Claus was one of my favourites that night,
because it's soooo out of place. Hahaha.
And being in an inflatable fat suit to boot. It's just hilarious.

Well, if you're on exchange, and you're in the UK.
You dont just attend ONE halloween party, you know.

Who cares about fairy god mothers & swarvoski glass slippers.
I was a rogue farmer girl on Saturday night.
Notice my tattooed arm and ciggie!

So this is at the Hazel Farm party ( its the estate where I live in)
Free booze & snacks - How do u say no? Haha.
Anyway the guy on the lefthandside is Alfonso, (you can only see his side profile)
he's like too good looking to be a man-eating zombie.
Kinda like Dark Angel in the Buffy series you know, a hot villain.

But this happy smurf is still my favourite. Haha!
