Have you ever had a friend that whenever the two of you are together something memorable happens? Well that is what my friendship with Twinkie is like.

It's like there's an unseen energy which feeds off of us to bring out every weirdo and crazy within a 50 mile radius. Of course, we seem to know most of the crazies on a first name basis so I am not sure what that says about us.

I was reading Twinkie's post about Mean Old Man's Halloween party and I started to cry. While I know she will have a fabulous time, it makes me sad thinking about the possible chaos that might happen if only we were together.

Two memories from Halloweens past --

1. I spents hours working on an authentic hippie costume for Halloween. Twinkie and I were heading out for Halloween karaoke but first we were going to visit Mean Old Man. We thought he was having his normal Halloween bash, but it ended up being just Meanie, Mateo and the Colonel hanging out watching TV. Before we could get to Mean Old Man's we had to stop for gas because the car was on empty due my habit of only putting $5 dollars in the tank at a time. While I was putting my $5 in, a drunk redneck yells across the lot at me "Hey, what are you, Pocahontas or something?" Dumb redneck.


2. Getting cornered in the karaoke bar bathroom by a crazy woman who looks at Twinkie dressed as a witch and tells her, "I don't need to dress like a witch because I really am one." Then the woman proceeds to grab my hand to tell my fortune. I am trying to pull away as the woman is screaming "You're going to die, you're going to die!!!" Twinkie attempts to head for the door until I stop her by crying out "don't you leave me." Then the woman pauses, still tightly clutching my hand and says, very seriously "but you're going to get a bunch of money first; THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!! THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!!! At that point Twinkie announces that she thinks she just wet her pants (from laughing hysterically of course) and the woman looks at us like we are crazy.
