Ugh. You know, I used to like Halloween. This year, my friend wants me to come trick-or-treat at her house and then sleep over, which is exactly what I did last year. I offered for her to come to my house, but apparently her other friend is too lazy to come down to my neck of the woods so it has to be at her house again.

Now, one year I can deal with that, and I like spending time with my friend and everything, but this year I'd kind of rather like to stay at my house. So I figure I'll just tell her my mom doesn't want me to sleep over, and she can't drive up to get me on Halloween night. Fine, right?

Well, my other friend wants me to come to her boyfriend's Halloween party on Saturday. Now, I don't like her boyfriend. He's not a bad guy or anything, I just don't like him. So why should I come to his party? Because this is like, the third year in a row I'd be turning down my friend's invitation to something. Of course, it doesn't help that she's already told me there's gonna be drugs and everything at the party, but I'm really not concerned about that, I just don't like standing there feeling awkward at a party where I know absolutely NO ONE. It was bad enough when I went to a party where I knew people, and still none of them talked to me, and I was the only one there who's picture (taken at the party) didn't show up on the host's MySpace...

So, I really don't want to go to either and would rather continue to live in my inhibited no-life little bubble of awkward nerdiness... (god I'm pathetic, another reason I should maybe go to the party) But how insensitive is it gonna seem if I turn both of my friends down in the same week? Should I go to the party, despite the fact that I really don't want to??? Or go to my friend's house and endure her annoying younger sisters (who are twins and nudists. Yeah.) and the smell of a house that hasn't been cleaned in about 7 years? God, I hate this.
