zalliaOkay, so last night I was finally struck by inspiration for the Breaking Dawn party. Post-wedding Bella! It wouldn't take much and since I was off today for the weekend, it should give me time to get the supplies together. So I got tulle from Mom, but after we got back from shopping and I took a shower, I had a headache which is usually pre-emptive for when I have to go out to socialize. But around 8, I roused myself off the couch and went looking for the other stuff. I have a tiara somewhere that would have been perfect for the veil, but never did find it. But while in the purple room I found the box...Halloween Makeup. I also found a bunch of sparkle lotion and gel and stuff. I set about my work and did a white base, shadows under the eyes and blood smeared around my mouth and of course sparkly crap all over. With no tiara, I took a hair clip and just glued some tulle to it. Pretty ghetto, but this was to embarass other people as well so oh well. But I actually could explain it to people and was calling myself Honeymoon Bella so she had gone crazy as a newborn, etc. Then I just threw on some goth boots since I only wear them on the weekend and went to pick up Robert.
Well, since I had gone so overboard on the makeup, I started having second thoughts, especially when we pulled up and there was a LOT more people there than I realized. I almost chickened right there, but put on my brave face and went in. Even through the windows people were staring at me, but I suppose it's not the first time I've gotten attention by being a nutjob and probably not the last. So I decided to just get in and find people we know as quickly as possible, but we only saw two co-workers.
They were in the middle of a trivia contest, but I was still on edge, but then they were just handing out the stickers and buttons anyways. Robert hung back, but I started getting a bit more comfortable there and one of the girls we knew one a bookbag! They had cupcakes too and I guess we missed free drinks. One of the girls had done up t-shirts with Twilight sayings and stuff on it which was cool, so I felt better. So they announce they're going to take a break and then come back with...the costume contest. Seriously. And since this wasn't made known ahead of time, guess who's the only one dressed up. :D
Killing time for that was a pain in the ass though, since I had spent so much money at target this week, I didn't need to shop there, but our newest coworker came upon my persuasion and since she's new in town she had to hang out with us. And I got a Frozen Cotton Candy drink which was just as bad as it sounds. Then I regaled her with stories of my fanfiction I would share (pretty much, Jacob and Mike Newton get gay cause they're both spurned by Bella and have no one else :P) and finally Sarah and Paige showed up too. Oh! And they had a drawing for a book that had Eragon and Eldest so we all entered and Robert balked cause he doesn't even like them so I told him to just enter and he could give me the book, then.
So finally we get to the contest and there's about 3 of us, but they pull in our friend and her friend with the painted t-shirts. One girl had a purple corset, one dark shadows under her eyes and one....a whole lotta nothing? Which Bella is just a normal girl so I guess that's what she was going for. Anyways, they had the audience vote, so I was all set to be pissed if someone else one cause of their loud friends, but nope! I got woos that came from people I didn't even know, so I won!! And guess what? I got that bookbag that I would've gotten from the DD preorder, a tshirt, a dvd of some sort(it looks like Stephenie Meyer will tell me who I should dedicate my fanlife to) and...a free copy of the book! Bwah! I'd already pissed off my coworkers for telling them I wasn't buying the book and just going to bug them and would borrow the book from them later since I know like 5 people who are buying it. :p Krissy (our coworker) got 2nd thanks to our help, though I think Robert could have taken it with his sad Jacob ears, but he was pretty freaked through the whole thing.
And then, they drew for the book. And the first person wasn't there, the second...well she was there, so I'm not sure what she got? But then they drew again for that double book and guess who won? That's right. Robert. HAHAHAHA! So I got *that* book, too. Outstanding.
So what did I learn tonight? Well, the only reason I did all this stuff was to be a jerk. And then I got rewarded with all kinds of free awesome things. So apparently, I should just start being a jerk all the time, right? Let it be so. The irony of this all was vastly amusing to us on the ride home.

Good job sempai, I'm proud of you.
