ahahahahahaaa...guess what me and sanaz just did. so we were all just hanging out in the kitchen (me, tasha, sanaz, and neha) and tasha's phone was sitting on the counter so i picked up the headset and put it on and i was saying stupid things like, "delta delta delta, how may i help ya help ya help ya?" and "call 1-800-dentist today." and then i was like, "hey, you should be like a telemarketer [for halloween]!" and then...well, actually, i have no idea how i got this idea, but i thought it would be funny to dress up as one of the guys. and then...well, i have no idea how i got this idea either, but i thought it would be funny if i dressed up as li'l mike and sanaz dressed up as ben. it was the most hilarious fifteen minutes. me and sanaz broke out our blush and started applying like LAYERS of blush all over my face. [let me explain: li'l mike has a fairly, well, fair complexion so when he blushes, he turns BRIGHT red. it's so funny - not for him though, i'm sure. but i have never seen anyone turn so red before.] but the blush that sanaz was putting on me was like this brownish color so the left side of my face just looked super tan while the blush i had was just really pink so the right side of my face just looked super pale. it was hilarious, man...so then me and sanaz went out into the kitchen to ask neha and natasha if they had any brighter, redder blush. so they broke out their blush and their colors were PERFECT. so now neha was like caking my face with blush. i swear, i must've had *at least* five layers of blush on my face or something.

anyway, after the whole blush incident, i made a sign that said "li'l mike" and taped it on my chest while sanaz made a sign that said "ben" and taped it on her chest. then she grabbed a lamp shade and put it on her head. [yeah, this needs explaining too. a while ago, ben was over studying and him and sanaz were just procrastinating or something and so he put a lamp shade on his head and pretended it was like, one of those vietnamese hats - the kind they wear in rice paddies, you know? psst...i've got a picture of him posing with that hat on too. ;)] and then she gave me a red, cinnamon candle. [explanation: some time last year, i don't remember when, li'l mike bit into a cinnamon candle because it smelled good. and you thought i was weird.] so then we posed for pictures with sanaz in the exact same pose ben had in my picture and me pretending to take a huge bite out of the candle. it took a while because me and sanaz were like hysterical laughing. when one would stop, the other would start. but eventually we managed to take the pictures then we headed over to the guys' apartment next door with a shopping bag in hand (for trick or treating!). it was funny cuz me and sanaz were both in our pajamas cuz we were too lazy to change clothes. so anyway, we rang the doorbell and matt opened the door and at first he just looked at us like, "what the...." and then he read our signs and realized and started laughing. jon came over next and laughed. we had to call out ben and mike's names because they weren't in the living room. ben came out first and then mike. i don't know. they had a funny reaction. they didn't exactly burst out laughing, but they weren't like...well, it was just weird. i don't know. so we just stood around outside talking for a little bit. ben was like, "i don't always wear that lampshade" and i was like, "well, yeah, mike doesn't always go around eating a candle" to which he said, "good point." eventually, we took a group picture - me, mike, sanaz, and ben. then we headed over to the girls' apartment to show them our costumes. their reactions were much better. :) grace answered the door and she looked at us and i think it took a little while to realize what we were dressed up as and she was just like, "ohhhhmygoodness...." we came into their apartment so melissa could see since she was sitting on the couch watching tv. she started laughing at us. but that's expected of melissa; she laughs at everything. helen saw us too and was just like, "you guys are weird."

so anyway, after that, me and sanaz headed back to the apartment. had a little trouble getting in cuz tasha was the only ones with the keys and her and neha had gone to their friend's place so we had to wait a little, but we got back in eventually. i dashed into the bathroom and started scrubbing my face like crazy. my washcloth is like all reddish/brownish. so i guess the funniest part of the night was just me and sanaz getting into our "costumes" - especially putting my makeup on. ahhhh....man, i can't wait for these pictures to be developed. ;)
