In the Absence of a Social Life

Not that I mind, really. I quite enjoy having entire days to blow reading manga online and watching chuggaconroy's Let's Play of Majora's Mask. It's only from an objective point of view that my existence begins to appear rather...pathetic.

But that's okay; let anyone else think what they what. To each his/her own, right? I've spent 4-5 hours the last three nights at crew for my school's freshman improv show, and it's tiring work. Last night we did strike (taking down the chairs, risers, sets, etc.) and that lasted until about eleven o'clock. It was nice to have the cast helping out, half because the work got done faster and half because it was to feign condescension towards them when we knew how to do something correctly and they didn't. Pfft. Actors.

In unrelated news (well, only sort of), my phone has been returned early despite my hanging up on my father during a shouting match over the landline. Well, technically he only gave it back to me because strike was going to go so late and there was no certainty that I would be able to use someone else's phone, but still, he hasn't yet given the command for me to give it back to him, so I think I may be home free.

Despite the return of my cell phone, stress is placed upon me primarily by the fact that I only have ONE WEEK UNTIL HALLOWEEN. This may seem, to some, a trivial matter, but despite the fact that I am fifteen I see no reason why that should stop me from trick-or-treating. I mean, c'mon; free candy, yo! This year I am going as Link from OoT, which is a relatively simply costume, clothing wise. All I need are a pair of brown boots, white turtleneck and leggings, and the green tunic that my mom is almost finished making. Seriously, that woman is such a good seamstress that I have begun to suspect the involvement of witchcraft. It's the accessories, though (sword, shield, gauntlets, belt, etc.) that are killing me. I still need to finish making my shield out of foamcore (no easy task), my mom is trying to find a way to make gauntlets, and we still haven't ordered my wooden Master Sword from online yet, which we need it order to correctly size the vinyl sheath-thingie that is going to be slung over my back. Oh, and the Hat. If ANYONE is going to be Link, they need the Hat.

Well, I'm running out of material, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. Peace out.
