Yay.

Ok. I haven't posted in FOREVER. so, here goes nothing.
First of all happy Halloween!!! It has to be one of my favorite holidays, mainly because of a little thing my team likes to call... the strip 1000.
Every Halloween, we like to go a little crazy... So you start out by putting on 10 items of clothing. (+your suit) It could be anything. A scarf, socks, pants, gloves, belts, wigs, you name it. As long as you are willing to get it a little bit soaked.
So when this proses is done,( you know because you have about one-two inches of cloth on you) you dive into the water. now, if you've ever jumped into water with just the normal amount of cloths, its pretty uncomfortable. now just times that by about 10 and that's what jumping in feels like. you hit the water, and everything seems to inflate. ( it kind of feels like your that puffy guy on that tire commercial) you then attempt to swim a 100. NOT as easy as it looks. then, upon arriving at the wall, you strip your self of one of the items of clothing. you repeat this proses until there is noting left... except your suit. Its my favorite day of the year, and it never gets old.
