First off, let me just mention that Kristen must feel exceptionally lucky tohave her comments riddled with "You know how I know you're gay" comments. Kudos to you Kristen! It's something you can look back on with pride! haha!

Well, it's officially almost the end of October, which means it is the timefor stupid drunk girls to dress up in a "costume" and get even drunker. You may have noticed the quotations around "costume". Now, Halloween has always been a fun holidayfor me, especially as a kid. You get to dress up in a fun costume and walk around to obtain FREE candy...or toothbrushes if you happen to live near a dentist. So, answer me this...how does that tradition translate into girls dressing like skanks, in minimal clothing, and get completely plastered. I don't quite understand it myself. I would much rather prefer the free candy.

Let me explain my qualms further...girls hate the fact that there are guys out there who take advantage of girls, but let's be honest...some girls just bring it on themselves to a certain extent. For instance, last Halloween I saw two girls walking around wearing hardly any clothes at all, (in the rain, nonetheless) wearing hats in the shapes of fruit. Together, they were supposed to be fruit salad...however, why weren't they wearing appropriate clothing...I mean, since when was fruit salad R rated?? It wasn't the last time I checked! I swear, the state of mind of university aged girls...not all of them mind you...is that Halloween is an excuse to dress as slutty as possible and not be judged for it. Little do they know the amount that my friends and I judge these girls.

I am NOT one of these girls...call me a prude, but I don't really feel like prancing around in lingerie (or other barely there clothing), with little ears on my head and drawn on whiskers, telling people that I'm a cat...cats have fur, not bare skin (unless it's one of those crazy ugly hairless wrinkly cats, in which case I wouldn't want to imagine, let alone SEE someone dressed like that)...and cats don't wear lingerie.

So, instead, my Halloween shall be filled with fond childhood memories. I will dress myself as a crayon...a pink crayon...very G rated...and eat plenty of candy. That is all.

Anyways, I just thought I'd rant, because Kristen demanded a new entry, and until I sat down at the computer, I had no idea what to write.

In other news, my scarf I am knitting is coming along quite nicely. It's purple.

In some more other news, I spent a total of 14 hours travelling last weekend.It's sad that it takes 7 hours each way to use city transit and BC ferries to get to Vancouver. I could make it to Europe in that amount of time!

In even more news. I played in a masterclass with this crazy awesome clarinet guy from Illinois. Apparently, one of the pieces I'm playing is based on a story involving Alzheimer's disease...it makes a lot more sense when I think of it that way. He was amazing...maybe I'll even buy some of his compositions and play them, because they're really cool sounding, and I'd get to do crazy nuts things with my clarinet...minds out of the gutter people...this is no American Pie moment!
