I've never actually been to a theme party before. I can't remember ever going to one, so.. Friday night I'm going to a party at the frat house with my roommate and her friend (who lives there) and the theme is:
CEOs and Corporate Hos (hoes?)
Um. My wardrobe sucks. Basically, I have nothing to wear. I know, I need to go shopping desperately for new clothes of any kind, but I don't even have something to modify for this..
So, can someone tell me a way to get back up to my house in Grafton and back here without the hour+ long bus ride each way, plus the $2.25 taxi fare two miles to my house, and then the same back to the bus stop?
I have a short dress at home, like this one.
It's buttoned all the way down the front (
), and it's black with vertical red pin stripes, which is the only reason I thought it might work? But it's not exactly office attire..You know. I figured I'd put on my fishnet stockings and garter belt and wear my boots, but does that even fit the theme? I just really suck at this whole costume/theme thing..Especially this specific one.. 
Help?!
I have no idea what to do for Halloween. Everyone is headed out to Madison. And I really want to go, too, it's been so long. I'm not sure if my roommate is even going there that weekend. But I'm missing the city, and it must be beautiful in fall. And I want to party in the place that I've heard is the best for weekend partying for so many years. But I figure there's sure to be a party in almost every other place, right? I'd easily find one? So I'm contemplating taking the bus friday afternoon/evening, just finding some random place, and crashing all weekend and coming home sunday..
(Edited to add: There is a party that friday night here in Milwaukee at someones house, it costs $5 at the door..
Costume fricken required, too. *sigh*)
I still need a fricken costume for Halloween, too. *sigh* Ideas, anyone? Remember, I'm terrible at this and have a very limited selection..
Next monday is my next midterm. The lecture today was insane. I'm not going to get an above average grade. If I could just learn to actually write down my thoughts, put them into an order with a decent explanation, I could do quite well, actually, but I can't because my thoughts jumble up easily when I have so many ideas and pictures and phrases and etc.. running through my head.. *cough* Everyone suffers that problem..
But, I don't think I'm going to fail.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with my TA because I recently found out I have no idea how to do research and we have a paper due November 10.
I'm screwed, all the books will be gone; when I tried looking, the ones I found were already checked out. This might be another last-minute five-page paper.. 
Looking out my window, it seems like Fall has come and is almost gone already. I have nothing to do today but a class at 2. I'm going to sleep until then, I guess. My roommate has this 'date' thing tonight with a guy she met at a dating website..who is actually from Grafton, though I don't recognize him. Guess what - He's taking her out to eat at the Charcoal Grill..in Grafton. Maybe I could hitch a ride in his trunk as to not spoil the mood? And we could stop at my house for a bathroom break?
Aw, the sun is shining.. I want to go outside, but I'll fall asleep during class if I don't make up for what sleep I didn't get last night. Brendon called and I guess Texans are an hour behind us with the whole time zone thing? So I was up pretty late talking. Maybe I'll knit some more tonight?
There's a dead bird lying right outside the windowed hallway to enter this tower. I want to go lay next to it and watch the clouds pass us by. I want to enjoy the silence with it; the sound of the wind. I want us to stare into eachothers eyes. I want to feel comfort and contentment in its presence. I want to tell it all my secrets I've been keeping these past few months that no one knew about but should have, and will never know. Get this weight off and pain out of my chest. Have a new friend.
Oh, and since Clarkekid was the only one who answered my question from the previous entry (what is/are your favorite color(s)), if I ever become decent at knitting, I'm going to knit him a red scarf.
Edited again to Add: If anyone knows German, could you please translate this for me? Online translators suck. Thank you.
