Embarrassing Pictures HOOO~!
I said ages ago I would post party pictures, and now I'm finally going to get off my ass and do it, all to entertain my sparse readers. Yay! Warning: These pictures are indeed embarrassing, although I left out a few that were just inappropriate (but funny!). I think the most embarrassed person after all this will be Lisa; sorry, not my fault you make such weird faces.

So, here we go. I'm using links vs. inserting the pics themselves, because that would take up way too much room.

To begin with, we must all admire my totally awesome pirate outfit. First picture, I look pretty odd, because I was trying to look angry when I was really just excited out of my mind. Didn't really work. Second pic, Czar and I both had slight "wardrobe malfunctions". It was a sign of things to come, I suspect.

Now, onto the actual party. This is one of the coolest gift wrappings I have ever seen. Cathy, you rock.

Then we played party games, which included "Stab Jack Sparrow", a more violent and piratical take on Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkey. Whoever's dagger was most humorously placed won. Here, Lisa is wandering off into the wall as someone tries to help from the sidelines (to no avail, unfortunately). This is the final result, including a wonderfully placed groin stab and my own dagger over the wrist. I made Johnny Depp emo, oh no!

After dark things began to digress and we all started lounging around on the porch, playing DDR, drinking various dangerous beverages (non-alcoholic brew, specially formulated pirate sodas, and anything containing caffeine), and taking strange pictures. Christina decided her calling in life was to be a model, and she posed for some fabulous pictures, most of which were on someone else's camera. However, I did manage a Marilyn-Monroe-esque picture of her skirt behaving strangely. Someone left their wooden sword in the room and we decided to have a rat roast, much to Christina's, the owner of the rat, dismay. To offer her some peace of mind, we held a brief funeral service.

As the number of sugary, caffeinated drinks consumed grew, so did our weirdness. Lisa demonstrates this well, here, here, and here.

We eventually migrated into the living room to play Twister, which broke up pretty quickly as we all realized it was difficult to play in skirts. It didn't help that Christina was viciously attacked by bilge rats, either. We were further interrupted by a seemingly innocent octopus suddenly taking up residence on Stephanie's head and causing Stephanie, Cathy, and Christina to strike anime-like victory poses with its psychadelic mind control powers.

Then came another round of goofing off, which included Nicole hiding in her shirt and Lisa having way too much fun with a pair of fishnet stockings.

The presence of a CD full of techno dance music and several interesting light-related objects scavenged from my office inspired us all to have a mini-rave. The main focus of attention was my blacklight lamp and what could be seen under it, which amazingly included my facepaint-induced tan in the shape of Al's blood seal. Also, Ed looked pretty damn cool under blacklight.

Finally, after hours of sitting around and talking about nothing in particular, we all fell asleep at about 8 AM. Here, witness the aftermath. Yes, that's me in the FMA blanket in the foreground.

And, to round it all off, here are some pictures of my awesome haircut as of last weekend--Front, and back. Because I like to show off.

That party was pure awesome in a can and I hope all my parties can be as much fun. Although getting to bed an hour or two earlier wouldn't have hurt.
