Happy Halloween!

Last year, I found a website with an easy to make Riddler costume. I couldn't use it though because I went as one of the Powder Puff girls with Amanda and Christina. I had a lot of fun as Buttercup but bookmarked the Riddler costume for future use.

Last month, I proposed that Residence Life dress up with a theme for Halloween. I suggested that the Director be Batman, my supervisor would be Robin, and before I could work in that I would be the Riddler, one of my coworkers said he was going to be the Riddler. Crap- another great plan foiled!

So I kept checking all month to insure that MP was definitely going to be the Riddler. I even played nice and sent him the link to the costume I found. I went shopping at Nick Nackery, the local costume shop. The other two females were going to be Catwoman and Poison Ivy so I needed a costume. I thought about going as Babydoll but she is so obscure that no one would really get who I was. I was hoping for a Joker or Scarecrow costume. No Joker and the Scarecrow was just ugly so I decided to be a Ninja. There were Ninjas in Batman Beyond and this was definitely a costume I could reuse in the future.

I got cool accessories - nunchucks (which I called ninchucks all my life and everyone let me do it till Jason, my RA, corrected me), foam ninja stars, and a samurai sword. I even got some nice Ninja like shoes at Walmart. All in all - a pretty cool costume.

Around 1230pm, the Director calls me to see what villain I am. Wouldn't you know it - Brian, another AC, was a ninja too. And MP - he didn't dress up at all.

As if that wasn't enough to ruin a day, one of my RAs and I got into an argument. Then I had to sit through a meeting with everyone in their Halloween costumes. I do have to say that Matt, who I went to Maine with, put in an excellent effort as Two Face.

Finally, the meeting ends and I come home to change out of my costume. While I am eating lunch/dinner, the top ball of my tongue ring falls off. I was so mad, I just took the bar out and finished eating. My tongue was so light. I felt giddy.

I got a new bar and went to class. After class, I apologized to my RA and went bowling with my intramural team (which happens to be three of my RAs). I did pretty well (100-80 something - 128) so luckily I got to end the night on a good note. We bowl again on Wednesday so hopefully the ol' broken up wrist will be able to hang in there for three more games this week.
