LJ has done up a stylish black and red for Halloween and it's raining faintly midnight out my window. Undeadjournal, let me tell you about the Lurch.

I arrived at Hyde Park late - or at least, I thought so, but then we didn't leave for another hour because the guys from the charity didn't come to pick up all the tinned food we brought for ages. In the mean time, I got all made up - it's amazing what you can do with perfectly normal eye make-up. I also borrowed some fake blood from this Undead sister-in-armsbrains. I didn't use as much as some people present, though!

Highlights of the costumery include: Zombie marathon runners (well, lurchers) with hilarious signs, zombie cat. (om nom nom brains). Also a duck. I will leave it to your imaginations whether the cat bit the duck or vice versa. Other bits of awesomeness: Zombie Ukelele, Zombie Scene Kids, Zombie Pool... has zombie stopped looking like a word to you yet?

Then... we lurched. We marched, well, shambled, from Hyde Park to Pitt Street Mall, via Martin Place, where we passed a bemused wedding party. Occasionally we shouted slogans ("What do we want?"

"Braaaaains!"

"When do we want'em?"

"Braaaaaains!"

"Who are we voting for?"

"Braaaaaains!"

"What's the square root of pi?"

...guess.) or moaned "iced teeeeeea" or "social juuustiiiice" instead of "braaaains." We scared and delighted some tourists and all in all, many lulz were had. A+ would lurch again.

just random stuff

A kid at the online tutoring thing just told me they have to write a poem with "smilies, methaphors and aliterationing" in it. I loled.

According to lj spotlight, the Zombie Survival Guide has an lj community! I don't know why I was surprised by this, everything else does.
