TRICK OR TREAT BABY!

This is the most amazing concept ever: going to strangers houses, looking like a complete naa-naa then asking for and receiving candy. People should be doing this EVERY night.


New Paltz totally gets into Halloween with parties and Haunted Houses left, right and centre.
haunted high school with cheerleaders, jocks and headmasters - but you know, all cut up and gory.
half of our candy stash. tootsie rolls are so good...

DO YOU THINK THEY COULD TELL WE WERE AMATEURS?
Candy Giver: are you girls visiting us from somewhere?
US: we're from australia
Candy Giver: Oh cool! well you'll definitely enjoy the haunted highschool. it might be a bit scary though, how old are you girls?
US: 20.
Candy Giver: right, ok, well then you'll be fine.
Turns out i wasn't fine. it was soooo scary that we couldn't finish the whole thing. I screamed real loud and that's when luci decided that we weren't going on the haunted school bus "that's it anna, let's go!"

Stacking it on someone's lawn (right after telling them we were 20)

not having a bag so i had use my hood and luci used her scrubs pockets

knocking on the same door twice. highly embarrassing but we got some extra mild duds.

Following 6 year olds for the first couple of houses before working up the courage to go alone.

fun fact #3

heard this one in class today:
11% of men and 3% of women* said that they would commit murder for $1 million if they knew that they would get away with the crime.
no-fucking-duh!


* not sure where these stats are from, wasn't listening.

Travel Perks #45

when you're black skinnies start turning a little white because you haven't washed them for 10 weeks.

"Hello, this is room 1507 and i was wondering if you knew that show about the dwarves? yes? ok, well what channel might that be on? mmmhmmm....and around what time will it be on in case i want to watch it?"
cool show about this family that we always manage to catch when we're in the hotels on friday and saturday nights.

LE MONTREAL SHERATON CENTRE
* Whilst waiting at the helpdesk we over hear that one of the ladies behind the desk has been asked out by a customer. Actually, no IS BEING asked out by a customer. She's all like to her colleague all behind the desk 'oh my goodness, he just asked me out. Should i go?'
a) He's standing right there
b) We're standing right there too. NOT five star service
* Because our luggage was lost we wanted to know what the plan of action would be if it did get delivered but after we had left the hotel.
The Bellman: uhhh...i don't know.
Us: Will it get sent back to the airport?
The Bellman: uh...maybe.
Princesses i know, but shit, ALL my Victoria's Secret stuff was in that bag

CANADA EH?

steaming the undies because they were new and cold.
married couple toothbrushes ("oh it's sunday, happy anniversary!")
at the hotel pool with our swimmers still in washington. what to do?
the coldest place on earth. Our European friends are laughing at the thought of two aussie girls in subzero temps.
In old town Montreal. Really cool place with coble stone streets, horse drawn carriages and those street lights...you know, the really cool old ones.
Don't know what we're posing in front of but momentarily forgotten that our bags are not with us.
Remembered during dinner at the Chez Thai that our bags were not with us. Can't begin to explain the all consuming and overwhelming dread that we might have to deal with United Airlines.
Went to see a movie and bumped into the courier man delivering our bags. there was screaming, grabbing and tears.
standing next to a crazy highway and some building. the town hall i think.
all smiles in my attempt at an arty photo. Don't care that it's not that arty - i have my stuff
at the hotel pool with our swimmers also at the hotel pool. sauna and spa sooooooo good.
Hard Rock Cafe cemetary for Halloween
University of McGill truck. How cool is that?

on the way home we had the same air stewardess that we had on the way there.
"Didn't you girls go to canada?"
"yeah, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt."
"ok..."

BEER PONG...we have to play when i get back

ok, so i don't photograph well...
luci having a drink for the hell of it...

NEEDED:
two teams (no names needed but 'double helpings' is always a good name)
14 plastic cups ( the red american ones that we always see in the movies)
a long surface (not the floor. maybe cabinets or a chest of draw)
3 ping pong balls (one for spare)

INSTRUCTIONS:
take 12 cups and set 6 on each on either side of the long surface.
make the cups into pyramids like bowling pins
fill each cup with alcohol - amount depends on how much you want to drink each time
fill the extra cups with water and place one with each team. this is to wash the ping pong balls.

Basically, you have to throw the ping pong balls into the cups. when you get a ball in the cup, the a person from the other team has to drink that cup. Yes, it sounds easy and that's what i thought until i realised that you got drunk while doing it.
you can catch the balls once they have hit a surface - but this means nothing so don't try.
In the circumstance that both teams only have one drink left, the losing team has to drink both drinks.
really really really really fun.

What's a frofessional?

Ms Ann: so do you girls think that you have the psychic energy?
Paris: yeah, i do.
Nicole: me too.
Ms Ann: ok, thats good.
Nicole: my dogs do too.

Last night we were watching the Simple life (season 3 interns) when they do their psychic internship at a place called Ms Ann's. We realised that it was a place that we had been to in Georgetown Washington DC. Above is them sitting in the upstairs reading area and below are some pics we took of the place.
When i go back for thanksgiving I'm TOTALLY getting a reading. argghghghghgh!!!


Nicole: she says we're fired.
Paris: i know...I'm a psychic

"hey Anna, now that we're half way...everyday we spend here is a day closer to the end than the beginning!"

i was having my tuesday avo nap and through a dream, it dawned on me how much i actually loves it here. I dreamt that I was already back home and unpacking and i says to my mum "when do i go back to New Paltz?" and she says "you're not."
I realise that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to all the crazies i met along the way. Holocaust Boy and I never had the time to work out. I never got to have Thanksgiving or Halloween. Our international friends Zuzu and Bendy disappeared into fat air.
Plus, I won't get to do my own washing downstairs anymore. I won't have Socks and Sandles for General Psychology or Professor Bumbsters for Postwar America. I won't really need to wear gumboots anymore. I won't have the gym 3 minutes away from me. I'll go back to living at home. I won't have Victoria's Secrets, Abercrombie, Urban Outfitters or H&M.

Then i woke up and freaked out that luci wasn't there because I haven't slept without her for the last 8 weeks but then i realised that she's in her italian exam and has no time for my mind changing shinnanigans right now.
I don't want everyday to be closer to the end than the beginning. Even those damned mountains are looking better because of the fall.
