Halloween 2007 Recap Part 2

For the pictures, I originally had this brilliant idea that I'd take photos of everyone and put them in these little pulp horror settings so that it would be different from everyone else's post. I started out with a good head of steam, but after a while, had to resort to stealing Bossy's technique for her photoblogging instead. So, that's why they're so inconsistent. Some of the photos are after the jump, and you can see all 300 of the photos, in an unsorted, jumbled mess, on Flickr.
Halloween 2007 Recap Part 1
I had hoped to do this all in one post, but it ain't gonna happen. I'm still waiting on photos from some others at the party so I can try to post as many costume pictures as possible, all at once, so that will hopefully happen tomorrow. I will give you one photo now, though, and that's of my costume:
For those of you with bad eyes, I created a camp T-shirt and cap. The T-shirt said "Adam Avitable's Clothing Optional Camp for Girls Aged 14-17", and the slogan said "There's grass on the field, let's play!" The cap said "Camp Avitable: We'll be on our knees, talking about birds and bees". You'd be amazed at the number of job applications I received for potential camp counselors at Camp Avitable throughout the evening.
While I'm going to write up a real recap once I have all the photos so I can do it right, I thought, just to tide everyone over, I'd let Britt do the talking for now:
Here's the direct link if you can't play the video directly.

Lazy Sunday XII
1. Who is your partner?
Some call her Amy, but her real name is Princess Maria Elena Amala Cincuenta Quesadilla Francesca Johnson Avitable.
2. How long have you been together?
Three weeks as of next Tuesday.
3. How long did you date?
Well, it wasn't as much dating as it was hanging outside her window with a videocamera.
4. How old is your partner?
Olllllllld.
5. Who eats more?
Have you seen me?
6. Who said “I love you” first?
I think we both shouted it to each other simultaneously across the room at that orgy.
7. Who is taller?
She's only 2' 11".
8. Who sings better?
You mean, us or a pack of wild cats?
9. Who is smarter?
Have you met me?
10. Whose temper is worse?
It's about even until we pull out the guns. She always shoots first, though.
11. Who does the laundry?
The laundry fairy – duh!
12. Who takes out the garbage?
I usually roll out of bed, sit down at my computer, start working, and then, once I hear the sound of the garbage trucks, run around the house like a crazy man, collecting trash bags that I throw down the driveway in a desperate attempt to catch the truck. I inevitably fail, so then I just leave them out there until next trash day.
13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
We sleep widthwise.
14. Who pays the bills?
Due to an unfortunate situation where someone was giving hundreds of dollars a month to animal charities, I do.
15. Who is better with the computer?
I am a computer!
16. Who mows the lawn?
Our lawn guy. I think his name's Mark. Or Matt. Or Don.
17. Who cooks dinner?
The Mexicans in whichever restaurant we are frequenting.
18. Who drives when you are together?
Me. But I usually have to put on a black cap, jacket, and driving gloves, and drive her around as she sits in the back seat and says "You will call me Miss Daisy!"
19. Who pays when you go out?
We dine and ditch.
20. Who is most stubborn?
I'm as stubborn as a reed, and she's as yielding and flexible as a mighty oak.
21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong?
Wrong? We're both lawyers. Neither of us is ever wrong.
22. Whose parents do you see the most?
Mine live an hour away but act like it's an overnight stay. Her mother will fly down for a weekend at the drop of the hat. So it's about even.
23. Who kissed who first?
I didn't as much kiss as drool on her head.
24. Who asked who out?
Does kidnapping count?
25. Who proposed?
I did.
26. Who is more sensitive?
Well, I'm a cold-hearted fucker who doesn't care about anyone. And she's a lawyer and an accountant. I don't think sensitive is in our vocabularies.
27. Who has more friends?
Well, I thought I did, but she goes out on days that end with a "y" with a large group of male friends and doesn't usually come home until 4 in the morning, drunk, and calls me "Bobby", so maybe she does.
28. Who has more siblings?
Depends on whether or not you count her mother's animals as her additional brothers and sisters.
29. Who wears the pants in the family?
I just do as I'm told. And I'm told to write that I do.
Prep
I'm spending all day today hanging things, arranging props, buying supplies, and getting ready for the big night. I'm not going to be able to set up a live webcam, but I'm hoping someone has a video camera. There will be plenty of still photos, if not.
Be jealous!
