This is Halloween

So I went down to Chatsworth on Friday thinking that I was going to be spending the whole weekend there. However, everyone was coughing sick when I got there, and sadly, thanks to that, I have a slight sore throat now. It hurts every time I swallow. We went to eat dinner at Pho So.1 in Simi Valley. When we were driving there, the sunset looked so beautiful on the horizon. Like we were at the top of the valley looking at it as it set. Very nice, wish I could have gotten a picture. Ate, went home, and then Aubrey started coughing and freaking out. She went to the emergency room with Auntie Shanta and I watched Melanya until 10:30 when I made her go to bed. The next day started really fast. Mel, Aubrey, and Auntie Shanta were still sick so it didn’t seem like they were going shopping with me. Well, Auntie Shirley took me to the mall and bought me a ton of stuff. She said I was boring to shop for since I liked neutral colors. I told her that uniforms have made me this way. She spent quite a bit of money on my purchases, but said it was for my birthday so she didn’t mind. Then after that, Auntie Shanta drove me to the Halloween superstore and got me a costume. It was pretty expensive at $60, but it was really cute. A lot of people were wearing really short skirts for costumes. Like I thought my costume had a short skirt. Anyways, they sent me on the train back to Santa Barbara since everyone was sick and they didn’t want to get me sicker. So I went back. Chantha, Tomy, and Richard saw me coming with all my bags. Good Tomy :) He carried all my bags for me, and they were quite huge. Well, we waited for the 24x to take us back to UCSB and then I changed into my costume while Chantha ate spaghetti in my dorm room. Then we went to her dorm and waited for Tejinder.

The guys pre-gamed and then we started walking towards Isla Vista. It was pretty funny seeing them like that. I mean, I didn’t think that drunk people were funny until I saw them drunk. I mean, I don’t want them to get anymore drunk, because that could be dangerous and it was already hard trying to keep everyone together in IV. I mean, literally, the streets were packed! We walked around on Del Playa and such then went to Freebirds a lot since everyone had to pee. A couple got lost since they were too busy making out to notice that we were gone, so it took us an hour to find them. While waiting for Tejinder to call us, a guy told us where to find Jesus Burgers (drugs), and then like a few people came up to me and said that my costume was cute. I mean, it was the only one I saw, so I was really happy. Oh! I found Waldo like a few times, and then one of the times, I was standing on the sidewalk and said “I found you Waldo!” and he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Tomy was like “Gosh, I can’t leave you alone for 10 seconds without you getting raped!” He was the designated person, even though Chantha and I were sober as well, I was quite dizzy from the amount of people walking around hollering and smoking, and Chantha was quiet. So most of the time, we were following Tomy around as he followed Tejinder around.

Then around 2, Chantha, Tomy, Danny, and I went back to Santa Rosa, since the rest of the people were going to a Frat party to get drunker. We rented Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone despite the fact that Danny wanted to watch Titanic. He was the only drunk one out of the four of us, but he made me laugh a lot. We all fell asleep in Chantha’s room and then woke up at 1 the next day. Over all, it was a Halloween that I’m not going to forget, for more reasons than one :)
