I've got the bumps

Seriously. First I had one on the side of my knee that was quite worrisome, but it appears to have diminished. However I now have one on my elbow. In the exact spot that I can't see it without a mirror, which I only found out by trying to look at it without a mirror for... approximately 2 minutes. I never said I was a genius. So, I'm gonna update you on various things that occurred the past few weeks, however none of this will be as incredibly interesting as miss tallisons or roommates updates. (HOLY COW ps). However, here we go!
So, fantasy fest: I decided to be Rogue, which didn't really work out cause of the whole white paint not working thus ruining the basic premise of the outfit. However, I bought a cape, still had a shirt with an X on it and decided to rock out anyways. Besides, I figured people wouldn't really notice that I wasn't in full costume. They didn't, btw. Sandy went as lara croft and she looked freaking amazing which is just so obnoxious. Who wants to walk around next to that all night? Juuuuuuuust kidding. It's ok, because she makes up for it by bartending in the front seat of my car. So we picked up Peaches (the little skater emo boy who will be referred to as Peaches for the rest of this because he wore a peach colored collard shirt as his outfit. And as Sandy put it, he was our prisoner.) then Blondie, and peaced on down to key west. Needless to say, by the time we got down there, everyone else was pretty tipsy cause they'd killed a bottle of vodka on the way down. And peaches and blondie are tiny. Although peaches did invite us out on the boat before getting drunk, so sometime around thanksgiving we might take the boat out to one of the islands around here and camp there overnight. I reaaaaaaaaallly hope this happens. How awesome would that be. Sceriously. So, anyways, slightly drunk peaches directs me to downtown key west in order to find a street that we could possibly park on for free, but he had forgotten the street name by the time we got there. And it was dark. So we hit the street next to duval street, which is the main drag where most of the event was, and look for parking lots. After passing a lot which charged 45 bucks (Sandy yelled fuccccck you out the window as we passed...) we hit a lot with a cute czech guy operating it, parking for just 20 bucks. and he said there was one sort of spot left. and asked me how good of a driver i was. so obvi we took it and had to park in this tiny little spot that involved parallel parking between a dumpster and some motorcycles. Now, you all know how good of a parker I actually am. aha. ha. ha. ha. ahem. So after my multiple failed attempts, peaches offers to try. now, knowing how well drunk men tend to do with operating motor vehicles, I of course, hand over the keys. And like a pro, the boy parks my car with style. Seriously. Then everyone falls out of the car, we pay the cute czech guy, I grab my drinks out of the cooler, peaches goes to bathroom behind my car and sandy and blondie hit up the porta potties. Then we tromp off into the great colorful drunken madness that is fantasy fest on duval street. Within the first minute i saw shirtless women who had been :ahem: tastefully painted. Peaches calls a trainer and we head up the street to meet the DRC crowd. Ok, now if you're smart, you may have caught onto one little detail in the past couple of sentences. NO ONE MADE A NOTE OF WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED. Remember that for later. So we catch up to the DRC crowd and all hang out in various locations, watching the parade of craziness and taking tons of pictures. And, of course, drinking. (I also may not have eaten dinner. Neither did Sandy. I'm blaming my not eating dinner on being in honor of last years homecoming, cause it was almost the anniversary date). Now, many of the superheroes that i got to hang out with were Captain America, Wonder girl, Wolverine (who was hotttttt), Flash, Batman, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, etc etc. And they went all out. See facebook for pictures. So eventually they start moving somewhere, and we don't know where, but we follow like the fools we are. And we reach our destination. A parking lot. and in the parking lot, a van. and in the van: a mattress. Oh yes. Now, this is where things get a little fuzzy. (weird right? i don't know why). I remember catwoman and the joker got in a huge fight because apparently the joker and drc cohorts had left catwoman and her boyfriend the incredible hulk when they were in the bathroom and catwoman was PISSED. And then twoface got involved and had to be walked out of the parking lot cause he was so upset or something. We danced a little bit with MJ and also got free beads from this guy who just gave us a bag of beads! that was cool. OH and wolverine gave me a sip of some delicious schnapps. I wish I could remember what flavor it was. shoot. So i remember batman arriving with poison ivy, and she was like, 'so it's only 9 o clock.' And in my mind, i thought, 'no way. it's definitely like midnight.' and then i looked at my watch a little later and it was 9:30. RIDICULOUS. So blondie and i got a little bored of the parking lot and kept trying to edge people away from it. i think we tried to leave for a long time, before others rounded up more people and we headed back to duval. We loitered around multiple places, sandy bought us a delicious hot dog and some random older guy told me i was beautiful and some random pittsburgh fan asked blondie why she had gone over to say hi to him if she had a boyfriend (jerkwad). Then I realized i didn't know where the car was. AT ALL. no clue. zip, nada, zilch. However, i really wasn't that concerned about it. I was just like, ok we have to find the car. and blondie was ready to go too, peaches was up for either, and sandy was ready to keep going all night. So sandy went into a club with some other drc kids, while peaches attempted to lead us to the car. This is where we were dumb. We let a little drunk boy lead us in a city where we didn't know what was where. Finally we end up on a street corner where peaches sits down, gets out a cigarette and says, 'shit. sorry. well let me know when you find it. I'll be here.' so we go back to duval, talk to a policeman who is no help, and walk a little, i look around and realize i know exactly where we are and where the car is. We walk a bit, turn the corner and lo! the car! with a police car next to it! YAY! So long story short, we round up sandy and peaches who miraculasly found each other while we found the car and all headed home. i drove. and the only way we got out of key west was by giving the joker a ride home cause otherwise i would still be in key west, between sandy's attempt at directions and blondie and peaches laughing. luckily the joker was clutch. So that was fantasy fest.
I'll have to update you on the halloween party and other moustache things later because i am tiruuuuuued. But at the halloween party, we did have jane ask blondie and myself if we were gonna be alright for getting home (mind you, this was after jane had been seen carrying jello shots out for herself and emily, and later a bottle of wine) and then say, 'wait, what am i talking about. if you could get home from fantasy fest, you're freakin fine.' she and emily also called our group a 'threefer' meaning that we were a good research intern group, which was nice to hear. In other new, I have no idea what i'm doing after this internship. allllll right. anyways, i hope this was at least a little bit of interesting reading for you kids. peaceout cubscout.
