Okay, so Ginger was a little trimmer than I was and my hair is longer. But it was a fun night.

Thanks for putting my gallery back up, SE! Yay!

Looks like a lot of fun! There were some great costumes.

You know, I've never been to a Murder Mystery party. I've always wanted to, since the episode on Saved by the Bell where they went to a retreat and were all in this fun murder mystery and Zack wanted to solve it and win the money. And I saw that was when I was really little, so I've wanted to do it a long time!

Maybe I can convince some of the people around here to do a murder mystery. And maybe I can convince EUOL to write one.  :)

I've done a murder mystery party before, Chimera.  It's really easy to start one.  All you have to do is kill someone, and then invite all your friends over to dress up and . . .  Actually--could you forget that I mentioned that?   ;)

Seriously--I think Denisa and I would be up for one if you and EUOL would like to do one sometime.  I know that the Heber Creeper does one, though I don't know how good it is.  Anyone?

I've wanted to do a murder mystery party as well. It sounds like fun. I think all you have to do is buy a murder mystery party kit and it has all of the clues, characters, etc., and you just hand out the character profiles to people and set everything up. It has all the instructions inside the box.

Well, if that's all it takes, then who do we knock off? I've always disliked... J/K.

Actually, I mentioned on Monday to EUOL that I thought it was cool that stacer got to do a Murder Mystery Party (stacer, you just keep reinforcing to me that Seattle is much cooler than Provo, with your cool job and cool activities like jet skiing and music festivals and murder mystery parties). I know people do them in Provo all the time, but I've never been to one or had the kind of friends who would do one. And EUOL said that he'd been to some, even written one once, and that the one he wrote was better. So I think he should prove it by putting on a great murder mystery. (This is where boasting gets you into trouble, EUOL.  ;)) And you and Denisa should come, of course.

My ex-roommate got to go to one where they were all villians from the Batman cartoon. Harley Quinn was the murderer. I thought that sounded cool.

My preferred variant is where the contestants get weapons and have to kill the most 'mysterious' person in the entire town.

It's fun but hard work sometimes.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

My roommates and I did one of those in November as a group date thing.  It was this Japanese-themed thing, and it was fun.  Would have been more fun if I hadn't been the only one without a boyfriend, but you know.  I asked this friend of mine who I totally wasn't interested in as anything more than a friend, and it was fun but then he quit talking to me after that night.  Hasn't talked to me since, actually.  Whoops.  Guess he got the wrong idea.
