DEAD GIRL DRINKS BEER

So. Halloween happened this year! Unlike last year’s Halloween where I just dressed up as a lame cat, by wearing my Spirithood, because I was too busy packing to go on a stupid trip, this year I spent THREE AND A HALF HOURS putting makeup all over any visible skin that I could reach so that I could be a dead thing.

No, I was not a zombie – though you guys know I love me some zombies – and no, I was not a vampire. Just a dead, slightly victorian looking thing. If I wasnt at a 100+ person social event, I’d have just laid on the floor and pretended to be dead, but If I’d done that, I’d likely have been trampled by a hoard of people, and it’s kind of hard to drink the beers and eat the candies if you are just laying on the floor.

Costume Contest

I know I know that I dont need to tell my Twitch friends this, because lord knows how many streams you watched me eat literal buckets of pasta through, but I’m not as skinny as the photos suggest. I eat. I eat a lot. I currently have a bag of twizzlers beside my elbow. I’m wearing a truckload of makeup on my neck, chest, elbows, wrists, and hands to suggest that I’m skinny and emaciated. I’m only addressing this because, that night, people seemed to think that I was unhealthy. Yes, I am slim, but I eat. My collar bones don’t jut out, you can’t see the bones in my wrists poking tough, and I was wearing a corset to produce the extreme skinniness. Breathing was interesting – I ultimately had to loosen it off or I’d have passed out, LOL. I was SUPPOSED to look like hell. I mean, I’m flattered that people actually mistook my makeup for reality, but It’s not how I actually look. I must admit though, that I started fooling ever myself. when I came home and scraped all that stuff off, I looked in the mirror and for the first time ever thought, “JEEZ! HOW DID MY FACE GET SO FAT!” I then probably giggled for like 20 solid minutes, because I was trashed. I’m not pointing any of this out to be like OMG IM THE BEST AT MAKEUP or OMG TELL ME I’M SKINNY or whatever. I just don’t want to get messages about how I need a cheeseburger. I love cheeseburgers. I eat them all the time.

Gotta love Shitty Ghost Sonic, and the Angel Investor

Wait. Hold the phone. What? I went to a social event? As in, an event with other humans? Me, the girl who is a socially awkward and kind of strange and prefers technology to humanity most of the time? Yes. Yes I did. I went to HackerNest at Skio Music. Hackernest is a MeetUp group for the tech community in Vancouver. It is held on the last Monday of the month, every month. You can usually find me there. It’s hosted at different tech companies around the city. Skio is a really cool music remix licensing platform, and you should go check them out if you like remixing music and want to get your hands on LEGAL stems from big name labels. They have some paid content and loads of free content. Wow. Sales pitch much? Not really. I just think its a cool place. Also, their office is to die for. There are no words to describe it.

It was a really REALLY fun night, and I was stoked that I actually got to PROPERLY do Halloween and go to a REAL Halloween party where there was more than “what can I get at the grocery store?” put into the costumes. Canada, you do halloween so good! I was impressed with the winner of the costume contest, the girl in the Angel Investor costume was creative and definitely targeted her costume to the audience. Big Props. Also, she was cool as hell!
