Night out with Ben
It's been a good evening.
Ben invited me to go with him to a costume party/chili cook off event with some people he knows. I didn't want to go as a pirate again, and since my friend Jennie leant me her "Sally" costume, I worked on getting a costume together. I turned a pair of white trouser socks into arm warmers and then sewed visible stitches onto them and a pair of white tights. I got a wig and sprayed it the correct color as well. I made up my face, paling it some and then spirit gummed visible stitches to my face, neck, and chest. I must say.. I looked really cute. Not as adorable as my Pirate costume, but it was a success nonetheless. The costume Ben ended up wearing was his Gypsy Trader rene-faire costume. It looked really great, and to top it off, he had this fabulous old pack covered with bottles, rubber fishes, and other contraban. Yes.. it was a nice outfit.
We went to the place and Ben helped setting up. I kind of shyed around and watched everyone. I always kind of stand in the background. Then everyone moved into the main house and we all began to partake in the different kinds of chili. They even had grilled cheese. I didn't eat one.. I should have, but that's ok. I can make one for lunch tomorrow. hehehe.
A girl there wanted to check out a local haunted house and Ben and I were totally up for it. So the three of us loaded ourselves up in Ben's car and headed out. The place was actually really fun. Ben went in ahead of us, me in the middle, and the girl, I think her name was Maia, was behind me. So basically I clung to Ben's shirt and she clung to my dress. The place was actually quite creepy with lots of jumpy out things, spooky corners and rooms, and loud bangy noises. Before too long, I had totally wrapped my arms around Ben and was clinging to him quite tightly, digging my claws into his soft flesh. It was quite an adreniline rush to go through, plus, I got to hold Ben. **blush**
We went back to the party afterwards, ate some more food, watched kids carve pumpkins, and prepared for what else to do. I thought Ben would simply take me home since he seemed to want to go out with some other friends, but instead, he invited me to go with him. We stopped by his friends house and watched some t.v. and then the three of us went out to watch a movie, Saw 2. A good choice considering it's the Halloween season. And what a movie it was! It really wasn't as freaky and crazy as I thought, but it was such a twisted movie and quite the mind boggler. I love those suspenseful, intellectual thrillers. Good times.
Ben and I then went back to his place where we kind of just loafed around for about an hour, reading, and not doing much of anything. I took off my make up and changed while he did some e-mailing. I dont know. Just nice to spend time with Ben. It's good having a friend, someone just to hang with and not have to talk, not have to do anything in particular. It's nice just to simply... be. He did compliment me like three times tonight. I was quite surprised and it felt really awesome. He complimented me on how good my costume was, twice, and then on my charming personality.
Anywho.. I'm tired. I have lots to do tomorrow. Ben and I are supposed to finally watch Boondock Saints. He's been wanting to show it to me for a while and we finally have some time. Therefore.. off to bed to sleep, perchance to dream. Aye, there in lies the rub. For in that sleep, what dreams may come. (ok yes that's not quite correctly quoted, but you get the point. Sorry.. theatre major, gotta have the play quotes.)
G'night my lovelies!
