Dude, forget candy- everyone's showing great stuff on TV for a change tonight.

Hallmark channel is showing old Addams Family episodes all night!  Woo-hoo!

Instead of staying home and taking such excellent advice, I went to a dance at church. Lame-o music, really hot in the gym because they only used half the floor... shoulda stayed home with the roomies and watched X-Files on DVD.

BUT! On the other hand, I wouldn't have had a reason to wear my REALLY COOL costume. I was Princess Leia! My hair is long enough to do the earmuff-bun thing now. And my roommate's curtain makes the perfect white-gauze dress. I'll have to post a picture when I get them developed.

That *is* cool.

Stupid me, I tried to be original and dressed up as a literary reference.   Which no one got.  Including my literature teacher.

This either makes me really smart or really stupid.

I can't tell you how many catcalls I got last night as Leia. Apparently every guy our age has had fantasies about her, or something. I was waiting for the bus with my roommate and this guy leans out of his truck window across the street and yells, "PRINCESS LEIA, I AM YOUR LUKE SKYWALKER!" (Um, you're my brother?) And on the bus, three guys struck up conversation with me and my roommate, which never happens, and wanted to come to our party with us. Somehow we deflected it without telling them it was a church dance (why didn't we just say we were going to a church dance? I don't know--somehow it didn't come up--one asked, "where are you going?" thinking it was some bar and my roommate said, "Cambridge." The guy just kind of looked at us and after a while said, "Uh, yeah, we know that place! We're going there too! Maybe we'll see you there!" and we never clarified it after that).

It was funny. It's been a while since I've been catcalled.

OH! Forgot to mention that when I got to the dance, there WAS a Luke Skywalker there. And he had an extra blaster, so I even got to have my picture taken with him and holding a blaster.  8)

heh, cool
I saw Sarah's costume this morning. She looked incredibly cute. I'm gonna keep this kid. She and her sister didn't stop jabbering about what they did, and they each generously gave me one piece of chocolate (Sarah, however, also gave me most of her Almond Joy after she took a bit.... I don't think that was necessarily generosity, though I appreciated it). We thought of several accessorizing options, from my wife's 8" Han Solo doll to a blaster my in-laws had lying around, but decided that giving a two year old a plastic pumpkin full of candy AND something else to carry was proabably going to wind up with the something else being left somewhere.

Um..I think Princess Leia is pretty much *every* guy's fantasy. Really, it all comes down to the Gold Bikini.

I think were all waiting for what we were promised. Stacer in her costume.

Of course...I'm holding my breath for it.

Oh, and and the Leia comment means no offence to Padme.

If Star Wars Happened "A Long time ago", how come they have superior technology to us?
