hello, old friend. 1:10 AM


"we are the monsters underneath your bed"
-----


So yesterday's party was pretty much awesome.
re: The Fourckers Bite Back- Halloween Edition.

I made Jello because nobody trusted me to make elf bread. ):

When Divij and I walked into Carol's house; the first thing that happened --> we got roped into the kitchen to peel apples.
"How many apples?"
"35!"
"O_O"

So we turned it into a competition.
I won, for the record. And no, Xu Yang- I did NOT whittle down 1 apple to 1/2 an apple in the process. You're just biased cuz you think you can chop celery so damn well don't think I don't know.
I can be domesticated if I want to.

Only I got laughed at by Carol, because I was trying to help her with her recipe for making cinnamon filling- and following what was printed on the page, I went and rummaged for a tablespoon in the cutlery drawer, and a glass cup from IKEA in the cupboard.
...Apparently when cookbooks say "1 cup" and "1 tbsp"-- they mean SPECIAL cups and SPECIAL tablespoons. That look nothing like proper cups and tablespoons to begin with.
And then I got laughed at AGAIN because she asked me to pour out 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, only the brown sugar was all hard and packed together, so I tried to break it up into little bits with the nearest thing I could find.

Carol: *picks up packet of brown sugar* *surveys it* :I ....Cara. Why are there chopper marks all over the packet?
Cara: ...Uhhh.

Well, sssssorry. Yan Can Cook but Cara Sure Can't.

Pumpkin (with no pumpkin eyes; I'm sorry!), Wednesday Addams, Lolita, Charlie, Witch In Trash Bag ;), Devil, Chang Er, Fairy Princess, Chinese Ghost, Circusmaster.
We're so cool. 8D

I swear we all acted more seven than seventeen; but it was fan-friggin'-tastic. Kudos to the Bean and Tracy for being such awesome GMs, and to Carol for hands down being the most. dedicated hostess. ever. I swear. That girl churned out like 12309820938098899 pies and don't even GET ME STARTED on the cinnamon rolls with orange frosting.
...Which, by the way, were absolutely delish; and aaaaalmost as good as my Jello. ;)

The scene from Flowers For Algernon went pretty great, too; if punctuated throughout by catcalls and cries of "...boo Charlieeee"/ "Charlie is a bastard!" and "closer! closer!!".
Can't accuse THIS audience of not being engaged.
Gwen would make a very good Special Child.
I'd almost forgotten how much I love acting, and the way the Moment just takes you!
...And this time round, it took me so wholly that I forgot all about our agreement to stage slap, and ended up giving Divij one loud, resounding one across the cheek.

Overheard, later on--
Divij, to Quyen, while rubbing his cheek: ...Wow. The first time I got slapped by a girl.
Quyen: *unintelligible mumble here*
Divij: And on my birthday, too!

Poor guy.
...Sorry, birthday boy!

DRAW THE L--...FACE.
We are all veritable Picassos.
Trick or Treating-- we have some verrry proficient liars in our class. ;)
And XUYANG AND KAIYUAN HAHAHA oh my word. Futures at Paree Fahshion Week, anyone?

From RJ's blog:
" (During Shoot Shag Marry)
Divij: Shoot Wenjia! Shag….Cara.
-Later-
Janice: Of course I will shoot that guy, he’s my good friend what! So weird to shag/marry a good friend!
Serene: Huh, so you’ll shoot a good friend??
Wenjia: …I don’t want to be Janice’s good friend.
Is that why you chose to shoot me Divij? Cause we’re good friends! :D
Divij: Yeah! Yeah! That’s why!
Cara: *realizes* !! But, then… :( "



Sitting around the mahogany table afterwards, everyone with a fork in hand and RJ determinedly/plaintively/desperately plowing into the oreo cheesecake ("...must finish! cannot waste!") and playing Shoot Shag Marry and being stupid and silly and funny and Together.
Silent nods to One Absent Friend. You'll be in our prayers.

...and all that's missing = Old School playing, on loop, in the background.




You guys make me feel like glowsticks and sparklers.
