So yesterday was the Hallowe'en party/fundraiser for Shakespeare at the theatre, and boy howdy did I not want to go. I haven't had a night off in so very long, I just really wanted to stay the hell home.

But since the woman who runs the Classics division did the costumes for Doll's House, I felt that I should make an appearance and support her. And it ended up being really fun!

I did not wear a costume, meaning that I got to say my favourite line "I'm a psychopath, it doesn't show from the outside" to about four people. Kelly, Wende and Moira were the Pink Ladies, Gretchen wore a bathrobe and had pills around her neck and she was Sick and Tired, and Gregg David was Jesus. He has been growing out his hair and everyone has been calling him Jesus for months (or rather Gesus, since Gregg starts with a G, you see). He wore a brown robe, had a bag of Goldfish crackers and an empty glass, and held a sign saying "Have loaves and fishes, need wine!"

He won a pair of false breasts in the costume contest and wore them with his costume for the rest of the evening. They really made the whole outfit!

There was also the show, which was the witchy and ghosty bits of Shakespeare along with a few songs. The best bit was Nick as Hamlet's father, who came in saying his opening lines, "List, list, o list!" Then he put his hand out to Geoffrey, and insisted, "List!" and Geoffrey reached into his pocket and handed him a bit of paper, then Nick turned around an left, muttering "Cheese, cat litter, wine..."

Okay, it seems a little obvious written out like that, but it really was terribly funny!

I re-started smoking again. I wanted to, so I did. I'll stop again soon.

Today's horoscope:
In the absence of preferred company, take whomever you can get. A mutual interest in having fun may be good enough for this weekend. Deal with some less flexible reality later.

One year ago today:
So yesterday was Hallowe'en, or as it is known round my office, Thursday. We are so not fun where I work.
