Halloween

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. It's the only one for me that doesn't bring bad memories. This year was interesting to say the least. But, even with all that happened I still managed to have a good time.
A friend of mine and myself went out to lunch at a pool hall here in town. He was dressed as a muskateer, and I wore an 18th Century gown made of red velvet. Well, I live in Georgia. Where in October the temperature here was 85 degrees! It was actually cold in my house, car and at the pool hall. So it wasn't a big deal. The pool hall is actually kind of interesting because it use to be a dance hall. So it has a lot of windows on one side and the rest of it is surrounded by mirrors. It was interesting trying to play pool in hoops and a corset. I failed miserable and to the amusement of my friend and myself.
When we got home we discovered that our Air Conditioning had broken. So we tried fixing it. Well, it never started working again. So now we have people 2 minutes away from the house for a halloween party and no air conditioning! In Georgia heat! It wasn't too long before everyone was miserable from the heat, and the party ended up being watching a movie on the television, and then sitting around outside listening to Tanz Der Vampire, while sipping pina colada's.
It felt more like a party in August then it did a halloween party. Perhaps I shall try a halloween party in December for a more proper feel.
Our air conditioning still isn't up and running. It is going to cost at least $4,000 to get it fixed. Until then I am just sitting around screaming "Heat! Intolerable heat!" I was not born in a warm climate nor do I have the ability to sweat because of a condition I was born with. Unfortunately there are no pictures of my costume. I needed to change before I got the chance to take photos. I may do so later.
