Apparently we were going to a party but the wanker who organised it (or didn't) was either 1. Lying to look good in front of me- trying to impress me with talk of all his "new friends", 2. Got so stoned that he forgot what day of the week Halloween was actually on, or 3. Got a better offer and forgot to inform all the people that had been invited. Anyway, ultimately, it's a good job we didn't just turn up at his house because the truth of the matter is that he still lives at home with his mum (at the grand age of 30) who had come back a day early from her holiday and I suspect that was the real reason for the lack of party. I wouldn't normally mind that much about plans changing at short notice, although I am finding my patience being increasingly tested when dealing with flimsy schedules as I'm getting older, but this time I'd put in hours of work preparing a costume. Psycho nurse, that was the brief I gave myself. I ignored all the warnings of the photos of me in "uniform" being put on facebook (where i knew they would end up) which is silly of me really but the risk in my life has significantly decreased now I'm an old biddy who doesn't go CRAZY anymore!! So I thought I'd live "life on the edge" or something... uhem.
Not being put of by the lack of Partyness, my friend and I got dressed up regardless only to find ourselves sitting in a room with my boyfriend and his mate acting like usual "cup of tea?" "yeah, got any biscuits?" *Says the blood and shit smeared sou sucking zombie Sister Goulden.
What a fucking anti-climax. I should have known the evening would be a failure after going on a 2 hour search around every local shop to find a pumpkin. We ended up carving out 2 varieties of melon, plus 2 peppers and then later a dried out satsuma that we'd found down the side of the cooker (which worked suprisingly well)
We did go out but to an empty bar. Some bloke looked me in the face and said "Eurrggh"- twat. Plus I didn't win the prize for best outfit, even though I was the only one with face paint on, but I guess thats the sort of wanker behaviour I've come to expect from this let-down of a town. Can't wait till next Halloween.
