My Weekly Rant !!

Halloween '98

Well, what can I say ?? Not only do I complain about having nothing to write about, but also when I DO write something, it turns out that I have written about it before, maybe I should employ a line editor and checker for my homepage. Actually better not mention that as I am sure that Devon, who alerted me to the fact that my last Rant was a repeat, will want paying for her services. So imagine my surprise, my horror, my sheer sense of inability when I was informed .... DOH !!
However, I DO have something new to write about this time, well I hope so anyway. As I am sure you are all aware, we have just passed Halloween, yep All Hallows Eve was upon us and in true student style, I went to the Student Union bar with my drinking buddies, and had me a fun night.
However it was not like any normal night. Oh no !! All the freaks were out and about, in their weird clothes and scary make-up and faces, there were also people dressed up to celebrate this kinda strange holiday (Sorry, it’s an easy joke and I couldn’t resist it). As I am sure you can imagine, the place was a fancy dress spectacular. It was like a serial killers ball !! Never before have I been to the bathroom and been surrounded by so many weirdoes (with the exception of one club I once went to, but that’s another story!). I went to the men’s room, to find myself with a red haired punk on one side of me, and the Phantom of the Opera on the other, kind-of off putting in any circumstances I think !
Well, like I said it’s like a serial killer’s Ball. No where would you ever find Mike Myers, Freddy Kreuger, Jason Vorhees, Pinhead, the girl from the Exorcist, every killer from Scream 1, 2, and 3, and numerous others. More vampires than you can shake a garlic covered crucifix and so many cat women that you just wanted to run out and get a HUGE bag of kitty litter and a big bottle of milk ... purrrrrrrr .... meow !! Some one get the whips and the Batman outfit ;0)
Oops sorry !!
As you can imagine, it made for quite and interesting night, lots of stuff was going off, well we had free silly photos where they put your face on some famous body, you’ve seen it before, but they wouldn’t let me be Cindy Crawford, or on the cover of Playboy, so I stuck for being James Bond, which if I ever get a scanner, I’ll scan it even though it just looks nasty !!
The funniest thing, however, was that people were still out chasing the opposite sex, which is hard enough normally, but when you are covered in face paint, fake blood or even a mask (big bird tried to chat up my friend ... too scary to think about if you ask me, and I can never watch Sesame Street and see Big Bird in the same light again) it just cannot be easy. The sight of seeing one of the many cat women being towed behind Freddy Kreuger is just too easy to comment on !!
