Halloween in Aberdeen

Posted by Kalie on November 2, 2009

Halloween lived up to its scary reputation as I attempted to celebrate the holiday in Aberdeen…

Nicki, Pauline, Joanna, and I got ready to go out for the night.  None of them had celebrated Halloween before and were very excited!  I dressed up as a “cereal killer” (small boxes of cereal fastened to my belt with bloody knives stabbed through them), whilst the other girls drew spiders and webs on their faces.  We walked to the bus stop to head downtown, only to found mounds of people waiting for the bus.  The first bus filled up quickly and we were unable to get on.  We waited another 30 minutes for the next bus.  This is where it got scary.  Nicki pulled me into the crowd of people with her to get onto the bus – it was like being swallowed alive by a fire-breathing dragon!  Imagine a mosh pit, but with garden gnomes, Miley Cyrus, the Grinch, etc.  I feared for my life!  I ducked my way out of the crowd to find the other girls who (smartly) hadn’t even tried making it on the bus.  We then decided making it downtown would be too treacherous and instead spent the night in The Watering Hole.  It was still a very enjoyable evening and I was glad to help my friends experience their first Halloween!

Cheers!
