Meaningless Drabble

I am attending a party on Saturday. It is...costume-y.

I lack a costume.

I have a backup I've worn to a couple parties over the years, but it's hanging out in San Diego with my parents. Oops.

I am left with some leftover items of clothing picked up from Hot Topic over the years (whatever, at least I admit to it) and the Party City down the street. I'll probably see what PC's got in stock tomorrow, but if there isn't anything...

Anyway, my ideas:

1. Zoe from Left4Dead. Probably the easiest costume. Find a studded belt and red sweatshirt and I'm good to go; maybe a couple black-painted water pistols. If I really felt like going to town I could dye my hair black.
2. Leia. I'd prefer her Endor fighting outfit from Return of the Jedi; sadly, the only Leia costumes I've ever seen are a) Bunhead from A New Hope (white washes me out) and b) the Gold Bikini (requires more dieting than I'm willing to do; also it's cold out).
3. Pirate and/or Witch. There's plenty of those at PC.
4. Hot Topic Reject, which involves...uh...a black skirt and a corset, I guess. I wore it last year to a party. It's doable. This costume is also known as "metal singer" and "emo."

At the moment I'm waiting for the new episode of South Park to come on and daydreaming about ice cream.

Went for a good run today. Orange is getting into the holiday spirit...there's this house on my route that has steadily added to their diorama thing in the front yard. Last week there was just a gravestone. Now there's ghosts, goblins, diseased cats, and a myriad of ghoulish-looking things, some of which hang out of the tree in their front yard and present something of a hazard for anyone over five feet tall.

And oh, yes, it's now time for South Park. Hooray!
