I know this is kind of late but Halloween weekend was a little crazy. While eating lunch my friends and I were trying decide what to be for Halloween. Like usual, most girls were thinking of cute costumes. Claire was a jellyfish (it was super cute), Hoku was a gypsy, Kawehi was an aviator, and so on. It came down to, "what should Anna be?" My fall back plan was to just be a hippie, everyone here thinks I'm a hippie anyways, but I thought that was just too lame since a lot of girls were already being a hippie and of course I needed to be original. So as we were talking about being a hippie someone came up with the idea of a rafa (the religion of Bob Marley and what we call Adam). While discussing what to wear to be a rafa Hoku came up with the brilliant idea that I should be a hobo! She was super excited and when that girl gets excited about something there is no turning back so there it was. While most most girls looked pretty I looked like a boy, a dirty boy. To help me look authentic Hoku made me a sign. She wrote,
"will dance for food" and I know I am a poor and hungry college student but really who wants food when you could have kisses? So of course I made her change it to kisses, but don't worry too much dad it didn't really work : ( Then I thought, what is a hobo without his alcohol, so I decided to get some...sort of. Come on people it is BYU (it is just apple cider) but I thought it added to the feel of my costume.
A lot of my friends wanted to go trick-or-treating so I decided to go, but since I haven't trick-or-treated since elementary school and kinda feel like thats the way it should be I just tagged a long and took a ton of pictures. Sometimes I would have friends staying behind with me but other times I didn't and what do you think it looked like with me sitting on the street corner? My friends thought it was funny because I looked so much like a hobo. Apparently I also look identical to Will Smith in Hancock, minus the skin color I'm assuming.
After trick-or-treating we went to a dance party at this house that is called the "Hollywood House." It was a ton of fun and it rained a little so I didn't have to miss Oregon Halloweens too much.
I've rambled on for a good amount of space so I'll just add so more pictures of my sweet Halloween costume. Hope you enjoy! And for all the Berne's reading this everyday I come to realized how much of a Berne I truly look like. Even my friends here who don't know my family say I look like a "Berne"
