Zombie!!!

So, Lauren, Ally And I, Along with our new friends Matt and Travis, went to the SLC annual zombie walk tonight.

Pretty much what it sounds like. A few hundred people gathered along city hall then we proceded to shuffle around town. It was quite a lovely horde we had going, all a-moanin' and a-groanin'.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

We had already bought some old clothes to rip up from DI the night before ((I had an orange shirt and light blue pants, 70's FTW)), and Travis and Matt were our blood experts. So, we applied some makeup to make ourselves look dead ((Mine was a mix of black and brown that I thought made me look quite rotten and decrepit...everyone else's was pale. And Travis looked like the joker.

Blood, right.

So, after our lovely blood was concocted ((water, food dye, corn starch, and cocoa powder. Make sure to mix in some green to make the red dry more brown, it looks more realistic)) we went up to the roof. It's concrete. So we figured that'd be best so we didn't stain anything. So we proceded to throw blood at each other until we were all blood splattered and grisly, then left.

What we didn't realize is we left a pool of what looked like blood on the roof. We also left a trail of bloody footprints that led back to ally and lauren's apartment.

So, we get home from the walk, and there's a knock on the door. Who could it be but the police and RA of the building?

Apparently they thought someone had died ((or we killed someone)) so while we were gone they had come in and searched the apartment....guess they didn't notice the bowl of fake blood. Or ever CHECK it...cus it smells like chocolate.

Then again...props to us for having such realistic homemade blood!

We had to go clean the blood stains we left, which wasn't hard but...we were all pretty scared when we first opened the door.... all in varying stages of zombification as we had been cleaning up when the knock came.


So, chances are its one of those 'no harm no foul' things, as the cop and RA were laughing pretty hard by the time they left...but I think we've been labeled as 'trouble makers' now.

And I know I say "we" like its my apartment...I don't live there, but I'm always over there anyway. So. Yeah. It's basically mine....
