It's going to be an Ice Climbers kind of Halloween...


I attend Ohio University, which is known nation-wide for two things: the journalism program, and the Halloween block party. I wish I could say that the journalism program is the more widely known of the two, but that's not really the case. However, this isn't going to turn into some post bitching and moaning about OU's "party school" reputation. Oh well, we all drink a lot. I'm having a good time, I'm not complaining.

But anyway, for the first time in my entire tenure at OU, I've gotten my Halloween costume squared away more than two weeks before the big shindig. My freshman year, I pulled a pretty neat costume out of nowhere (I was a flight attendant from Snakes on a Plane, with oodles of fake snakes stitched to my outfit and fake blood o' plenty), but the last two years were last minute crappy costumes (some sort of "Josie and the Pussycat" things with my girlfriends sophomore year, and a zombie cheerleader last year). But this year, I actually have a plan: Andy and I are going to be the Ice Climbers! And we actually have our outfits pretty much ready to go!

Our costume is awesome because it's actually coordinated in some sense, it's the first "couples" costume I've ever done, I've never seen anyone else be the Ice Climbers (but I think people will know who we are) and most importantly, we're actually going to be warm in the likely below freezing temperatures. We've considered carrying around a bag of ice to chuck bits at people, but I don't really feel like getting my ass kicked, so we probably won't.
