Where have I been?

Well for those who haven't heard, I have been doing nothing at all! Actually, I can't say that. You see, I had kinda lead everyone to believe that I have been really busy doing much of nothing. Way back when, there was a gathering called Frightnight 3. I had mentioned something along the lines of, "I can't come to the gathering because I can't get out of work." Well, I had repeated this and everyone thought I couldn't go. Then a week later, I couldn't keep it completely secret anymore. I told Mainekokopellian I was going and he was thrilled. But, I didn't tell him what I was dressing as.

So the day came of the gather. I drove there and walked in with a plan. For 1 whole hour, I drove people nuts. Not once speaking a word. I had 2 bags by my side. 1 bag contained cards with a special signature stamps image on them, to hand out. The other bag contained a slimy mix of worms and eye balls. Trick or treat is was. So for 1 hour I had fun. Hugging people, kissing hands, getting my rear grabbed in hopes of figuring out who I was, with no luck. For 1 hour, I was dying of heat! That mask was so hot, I couldn't stop sweating. So after 1 hour, I called it quits. I was ready to reveal myself to everyone. Boy were people shocked!

Liquid was something I headed for first after greeting some people. Then I got a chance to meet some new people I knew where there but didn't talk to yet. Ryan, better known by everyone as Green Tortuga, and Amanda from Seattle were in attendance. I had plenty to talk to Ryan about. What a nice guy he is, which is what I expected he would be.
Later in the evening, we headed out for a little trick or treating before taking a hike through the woods for a haunted letterboxing adventure. I have to admit, I wasn't scared, but had tons of fun walking through the woods at night with some of my friends, old and new. The hike we wet after a day of rain, and I was walking around in slippers. Not recommended for a hike through the mud. Ghosts, skeletons, jack-o-lanterns and scary people lurked through the woods, but nothing was as cool as the graveyard behind the house. Much props to the organizers of the gather. I had a long day and a long drive ahead of me, but it was all worth it.
