HALLOWEEN!

So Sarah and I kept up with some american traditions and carved these bad boys. Mine is the one on the left, I decided to go classic halloween because they do not carve pumpkins here. Sarah's is Jack Skeleton-pretty awesome. Here they just buy pumpkins and set them out- no carving- lame!! One of my roomies came into the kitchen when we were doing this and asked for a picture with my pumpkin. 

Oh how I love dressing up! Me as America, Sarah as Cowgirl, and Mist as Saloon Girl. We are western themed. This was thursday night, we went to the international halloween party and there was some great dancing! They played 50's music all night- which I did not realize was incredibly fun to dance crazy to. We danced to "Respect" and "Aint No Mountain High Enough". They have a 50's night every tuesday at the buff club, and if you are up for it T we should go out that night- we will have to see how we are feeling! I also did some swing dancing with a drunk tiger, he would not stop twirling me all over the place. I have also decided that I will go as America to Sooner Coral when we return home! I did the Christmas puppies there and now I'll bust out America.

Saturday we took a train to Blair Castle to watch a bagpiping competition sponsored by a whiskey company- you dont get much more scottish than that! It was nice to listen to and I found myself staring around the room off in dreamland. I also realized how easy it would be for us to take a train up to Aberdeen for a day trip- a train goes straight there! So I was thinking of cutting my thursday classes and checking out Aberdeen with you T!

This was Saturday night- a 70's themed halloween party in someone's flat that I dont know. SO much fun! It was a night of dancing and meeting a bunch of randos. The dancing became a little too intense and I began to fear I was going to be trampled. I also have come to the conclusion that sunglasses at a party are a lot of fun! You just drink a little, put on the sunglasses and start dancing and somehow the glasses make you feel like you have had way more to drink than you actually have- it was a little trippy. So they are coming with me to more parties- 70's themed or not.
Just more dancing like weirdos as the 70's party! The only thing that was missing was Julien- he left this weekend to visit his gf, and at the end of the night I was thinkin "where's julien- i gotta tell him something!!" then realized he was not there- how sad! I think I will miss him most of all after this adventure, he is a good person to just talk about life with.

Well tonight is the actual halloween- I am gonna guess we are not going out, I think the days leading up to halloween were crazy enough
