Halloween Hijinks

OK, so here's the full Saturday rundown:

1: Wake up, go apple picking with the DC members. This was very cool - totally not something you get to do everyday. There was something sweet ab out eating an apple that was so fresh off the tree it still had leaves on it. It was also very cold, so the hot cider helped out a lot. Plus, I managed to kick Jen's ass when she challenged me to a pick-off. Doubles, bitch!

2: Food, nap. I wasn't feeling to out of it, so I read.

3: Random games with Jill, Jen, Franky and Richard, including Would You Rather? It turns out, given the chance, we'd all rather live to be 80 and never have been in AIESEC rather than have been an AIESECer but died at 23. Go figure.

4: Jen gets costume, we decide to suit up and go on an alcohol run. I find great pleasure in getting a less girly drink (vodka-Red Bull, the patron drink of the UK student) than Jen, who went with a cheap, low carb, fizzy, apple thing.

5: Franky, Jen and I randomly go on a random monument tour (still in costume), hitting up the Lincoln, Korean War, FDR and WWII memorials. There are many small children out; none of them are in costume.

6: No-Holds Barred Never Have I Ever. What happens in the DC house, stays in the DC house!

7: Time to leave; I try to strawpedo/shotgun a bottle of the aforementioned appley stuff. It doesn't work, so I end up chugging half a bottle of ice-cold fiz. Mmm.

8: Ruthy's AIESEC party. Jen gives me a bright pink drink, tells me to drink half. I refuse. She asks again. I refuse. She asks again, I chug the whole thing. Then she says she made it really strong. Shots upstairs at Michelle's. We're off!

9: En Route to M Street to meet up with Jill and her posse, the drunk dialling begins afresh after previous efforts to Jim and Connie. The girl from Sconnie would prove to be a repeat target during the night.

10: First bar; very swish. Apparent we're not really dressed to make it a long stay. Desperate for the bathroom, have to wait ages outside the gents before a tall Asian girl dressed in a goldilocks-style dress comes out. Check I'm outside the gents; proceed.

11: Prolonged Jill-searching/wandering; pose for photos, get denied entry to bars (what's the matter? My pink EU driver's license not good enough for you.

12: Find Jill - in the Ritz-Carlton. I turn to Jen: "There are only two people her in costume... and I'm one of them!"

In fairness, Jill's Asian Bird Flu costume was awesome, but detachable - the only way Jen and I were getting out of costume would involve the police. But by that point we really didn't care too much, so more drinking dancing and drunk-dialling ensued. Although actually I didn't drink any more - Jen bought me a straight diet coke which I refused to drink as I was certain I could taste vodka in it. Took me about 2 hours to finish it.

13: Leave the hotel, get in a cab. Jen drunk-dials Jill (whom we left 15 seconds ago), I try and figure out what language the driver is speaking (not a chance).

14: Arrive back at the AIESEC house, give cab a 100% tip (hey, it was easier that way).

15: Jen heads to Ruthy's place, I fall asleep in costume.

That was quite a day. Ironically I woke up at about 8am and couldn't get back to bed, so I read some more (I started and finished the latest Harry Potter book over the weekend). Pictures (stolen from Jen) to come soon, hope y'all had a good halloween too!
