I love Halloween and dreaming up a good costume for parties. There seems to be a looser, unrestrained vibe to a party where everyone’s dressed to portray different personas. This is about one year where I thought my costume-creating efforts weren’t up to my usual standards, but my party experience turned out to be off-the-charts incredible and a sexual first.
I’d scored a work-placement opportunity in the Bay are while I was finishing my degree. I ended up finding a place in a shared house with three other women who were also working students. We developed a great living chemistry, creating an environment that allowed us to focus on our work experiences but also to chill out and cut loose when we needed.
I developed my strongest bond with Emma, who was more out-going, like me. We liked to laugh and we were usually the first to initiate something and get the party started. It was Emma who suggested having a Halloween party, since it was falling on a Saturday night that year. The rest of us quickly agreed and the party planning was put into motion.
