So while my roommates are in NYC for the weekend celebrating Rachel's birthday, I stayed behind in the District to prepare for midterms at AU. I know that I'm missing out on a lovely time but I'm so looking forward to a wonderful night out this evening with some of my new friends from school. Stay tuned...

Georgetown Cupcake
Like most Washingtonians, I have made the trip to Georgetown Cupcake (more than a few times, I admit). I heard a rumor yesterday that they've been featuring PUMPKIN CUPCAKES for fall. I'm not sure if this is true, but I'm more than willing to go find out for everyone.
Stay tuned, I'm on the case ;)

Halloween Costume Ideas
So I bought my ticket for my first ever Nightmare on M Street. I'm very excited and have already started brainstorming my costume ideas.
This is the short list:
1. Eve (As in Adam and Eve. I just need a buddy.)
2. Mother Nature (If I can't find an Adam.)
3. Lady Bug (McMelve is going as a Bumble!)
4. Tina Turner (My Homecoming dress from sophomore year has been suffocating in my closet for ages and wants to come out!)
5........Ideas?

I (Finally) Finished The Lost Symbol
I don't want to give anything away... but I finally had time to sit down with The Lost Symbol and it was great!
The book takes you all over the District looking for clues. I can't wait to go out and look for some of the places featured. Even if you aren't a huge fan of the genre, it's a great read if you're into learning more about our wonderful city.

Entry #27: An amazing kickoff to Halloween
Last weekend, some friends and I drove to the boonies of MoCo to do some Pre-Halloween activities.
We went to Markoff's Haunted Forest. To be honest, I didn't really know what to expect. I figured that we would get there, pay, walk through the woods and head home. I was SO wrong!
We parked in a huge field, and walked towards a podium where we were forced to sign waivers. Then we were ushered to another clearing where there must have been a couple hundred people hanging out waiting for there number to be called to go into the forest. They were on number 46. Our number? 72. Sooo while we waited, we took advantage of the many activities there.
Bonfire
Rope Line
Spooky Bus
Spooky Hay Ride
Hot Chocolate
Creepers wandering around
A couple of hours later we went into the woods. Before walking in we were given a safety phrase (something about tulips and lilies, I honestly don't remember!)... So in the woods there were people dressed up, there were little scenes, it was very creepy and I was startled many times. Luckily our new friend Graham was there to make us laugh and even stepped on a chain saw. Plus, Katie and Bailey (the brave two in the front of our group) screamed every time something new popped out. And my walk buddy, Phil, probably has a hole in his shirt from me clinging.
It was a fantastic night, and the perfect way to start the Halloween season (and all for only $10.00). Now I just need the perfect costume.
And no, I didn't use the safety phrase ;)

Entry # 26 Wednesday night outting
A couple of Wednesdays ago, I was given a little tour of DC nightlife.
I went to:
1.Marvin
2. Lauriol Plaza
2. Public Bar
3. 18th St. Lounge (finally, I went!)
4. Rumors
5. Nick's
There might have been another place in the mix, but basically I saw more of the city that time then I had in most of my other trips combined. Very exciting and very fun!
I was surprised to see so many people out and about on a weekend, and especially so dressed up. Needless to say, I'm ready to bring some of my girlfriends out for my own version of the tour.
