So, I had a pretty good time at a costume party last night, pictures of the costume to come later. I went to a primarily nerd gathering as it turned out, and quite a few of the costumes were the sorts of things you see at conventions or nerdly injokes. There was a Black Butler group, a representation of several Treks (some Original Series, some New Trek, DS9 Bajorans, a Captain Janeway), A JOAN FUCKING HOLLOWAY WITH A PEN NECKLACE, and more ninjas than I can shake a stick at. There were also a couple completely tasteless costumes, because well, some types of nerds have utterly no self-awareness or sense of propriety.

As you can imagine, I was mostly nerding out! And I got recognized by a couple of really cute girls in my Hades costume and yay, good time!

Of course, there was a downside. The downside was The Girl Thing.
