We just got invited to THE Halloween party in our circle of acquaintances. We’re super excited, and we’re hoping that this will lead to an actual honest to goodness social life after only two years of living here. Barring any further extended hospitalization, of course.
Here’s our dilemma. We need a really great costume.
We really want to show how fun we are (Because seriously, we’re fun. It’s about darn time people around here got to see it.), we want to put ourselves out there and let people get to know us, and most importantly it needs to be a superhero since that’s the theme of the party. We’re thinking that we need to make something up instead of just being a regular old superhero. It’s also our first time with this crowd and we have no idea what their going to be game for, so we’ve decided to play it safe. Nothing even slightly controversial, including political jokes even though I would make a cracker jack Sarah Palin.
Here’s what we’ve come up with so far:
OCD and The Slob: Take a wild guess who is who.
Captain Obvious and Know-it-all Girl: I call Bear Captain Obvious at least once a week. It totally fits the both of us. My problem with it is that it’s not entirely original. Also, I think Know-it-all Girl is a little weak. Bear suggested Captain Obvious and No Sh^+ Sherlock. Oh my gosh we laughed and laughed, but it is our first time with this crowd, and who knows if they’d find it funny or inappropriate.
The Channel Surfer and The Librarian: Bear’s superpower would be a laser remote control, and mine would be supersonic shushing. And he’d have a breastplate that would read WWZMD (What Would Zack Morris Do). We’d work together with all the knowledge we’ve gained from after school specials and cliff’s notes to solve the problems of the world.
We’d love any other brilliant ideas you guys have. This is our big coming out party after all the bleck in the past year. It’s kind of hard to put yourself out there and do the work of making friends when you’re barely keeping your head above water, so know’s our chance. We want to make a splash.
