Halloween

Friday was Halloween, and I almost forgot about it. The people here in Argentina know what halloween is, but they do not really celebrate it. Apparently us yankees love our halloween so we had to have a huge party. My friends KC and Bekah put together a costume party at one of their houses. I was not sure if I was going to go because I had other plans, which I will get to in my next post.

I eventually decided to go at the very last minute. There was a rule to the party, no costume no entrance. So at the last minute, I start digging through my crap and stuff at my house. I put together some sort of costume. I passed up the scream mask because it would have made it to hard to talk with the girls. I ended up with black dress shoes, blue jeans, a white shirt, a black cape and a really tall purpleish pink and white hat. I also had a wan or stick of some sort.

It was about 12:30am when my host mom asked me what time the party was going to start. I told her 11:00pm, so at that moment she kicked me out of the house, while telling me I was too late. I began my 15 minute walk or so to the house of the party.

My 15 minute walk turned into 45 minutes as I ran into some random girls on the street. I was walking down one of the main streets where there is a bus stop. There were about 6 girls waiting for the bus, dressed in costumes. Clearly I must not look Argentino because all six of them ran across the street yelling "hello" and then asking me questions in spanish. They began to love my accent and invited me downtown to the club to celebrate one of their birthdays. I politely declined because I had been told if I miss the halloween party I would never see another day in my life. Anyway, I flirted with these girls for a good 20 minutes before their bus came. Sometime during those 20 minutes one of them grabbed my wan (My wan from my halloween costume for all of you in the gutter right now!!) I never saw it after that. I received a few numbers and went on my way.

I finally made it to the party. Everybody was happy to see me, but they wondered what I was supposed to be. I made them all guess, so that I could say, "yes you are right. That is who I am". For halloween, I was a magician without a wan, some guy from Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter without a lightning scar, the Matrix, and a guy from the 90s.

The party was cool. There was music, pop, juice, and alcohol. I only drank a little bit of the alcohol, and that was only because somebody was going to dump out their drink. I could not allow that to happen.

My friends decided that they wanted somebody to go in the pool. While I was smoothly talking to "Wonderwoman", my friends yelled at me to come over to them as if it were really important. On my way their, I realized the plan. I avoided getting thrown in the pool.

Later, my friend Tyler was standing on the ledge of the pool. He was a little intoxicated, and looked as if he was going to fall in. Not 15 seconds later, my friend Marisa pretended to push him, and being drunk as he was, he fell all by himself into the pool. His lovely Peter Pan costume was soaked along with his wallet, camera and cigarettes. The funny thing is, he was most upset about the wet cigarettes. I was thankful, for he took my place as the one who had to go in the pool.

The party ended around 5:00am. I helped my "ladybugs" home because Marisa and Amber live close to me. We took a remis and somebody paid. It wasnt me because I refused to take a remis if I had to pay. I made it back to my house at 5:45am. I had been awake for 21 straight hours.
