So Mel and I decided that we were 'bringin' spooky back'. We planned a pumpkin party. with orange pumpkins, carved. (their pumpkins are weird and green here....) We served all orange food with the exception of some chocolate cup cakes with ghosts, spiders and other halloween stuff on them. Other foods we had included, Orange Jello shots, Carrots and dip, Candy corn sent from Mel's friends in the U.S., Doritos, Cheese puffs, BBQ chips, Gummies, and mini chocolate bars! We decorated a common room and people came dressed up. It was pretty great. The shining happened to be airing on the flatscreen Tv in the common room, epic. Mel and I dressed like 'Bogans" which is an Australian Version of trailer trash lol. How do I describe a Bogan. Well they speak differently from normal Australians, They have more of a twang and incorporate a lot of profanity into their speech. Also they are prettttty uneducated and opinionated, which is never a good combo. They wear flannel shirts and flip flops. A lot have a massive Southern Cross tattoo somewhere. Mullets, Rat-tails, are great hairstyles for bogans. Girls wear trashy makeup and have a kid by 15 (ha.. ok thats only some.. tats the higest degree of boganism.) anyways. There you get the drift. I could go on for a while about that but I wont. I'll just say, Mel and I were Bogans. Jer and Chloe's costumes were unreal too! My flatmate Yuka (a Japanese Exchange Student) brought her friends and they dressed up too! it was great fun :)
