Halloween is officially upon us once again. It's always been one of my favorite holidays. I decided to ring it in with a couple shots of Patron tequila. I'd been saving it for...well, company, but I don't forsee company coming soon enough.
It took a little while to figure out a costume for this year. Yes, I'm 26, and I still dress up. What can I say? It's not too often that I have the opportunity to look like a girl. These are photos from last year. I did the whole schoolgirl thing - it was all stuff I had in my closet(note the cat tree in the background), which is what I usually do. Kind of cliche, but the schoolgirl thing never really goes out of style. I've never had much money to spend on costumes, but I do quite well for myself.
Last year was pretty cool. Shannon and I decorated the house. We got a Jolly Roger on eBay to fly on our flagpole(which wound up being a year-round thing). We spent a good chunk of time putting up what we originally thought were purple lights. After we turned them on, we discovered they were pink. Add some fake cobwebs and a fog machine, and the end result...well, it kind of looked like there were gay pirates living there, but the neighborhood kids loved it.
And then...Bryce. Ah, yes, Bryce. He was this guy I met online. We had been discussing my photography, and he seemed pretty cool. He asked if he could come over, and, after I consulted with Shannon, and he assured me he would bring a female friend so things would be a bit more comfortable, I accepted.
I will say, we did have a good time that night, just talking and drinking wine and having fun. Bryce asked me out, and I told him that sometime soon, we could do that. I'm not one to jump at a date with someone I've just met, and I wanted to get to know him a little better first. It was a good thing I did.
I had a couple of phone conversations with him after that, and learned some things about him. Apparently, the girl he brought with him on Halloween was his best friend. She was also his roommate. They were also doing the whole friends with benefits thing in between relationships. The best part of this - they had a kid together. Okay...so you live with this chick...you're having sex with her...and she's the mother of your child. Yet, it's not a relationship. Good to know.
In the meantime, Bryce had given me a little photography job to do. Nothing major - just to take some photos of a restaurant for a commercial he was making. I did it, and sent him the photos. We got to talking, and considering the obvious, I decided not to go out with him. He then proceeded to berate me for a good while, about how he couldn't use the photos, this, that, and the other thing. yes, he turned out to be a complete and utter douchebag. This, of course, is pretty much standard for me. Bryce, however, slipped under my radar, and that's what pissed me off. Well, if nothing else, at least he didn't get my pants off first.
