unijSooooo
I've never carved a pumpkin before.
When I was little, we'd just pick a page from the book of templates, and then Dad would do it. When we got older, the family stopped bothering to even do that. Parents didn't want to bother with it, and sister and I never wanted to go through that much effort for something that would rot in a couple days anyway.
Roommate 4, being from Japan, had never carved a pumpkin before, and she was totally excited for the opportunity. She invited over another Japanese friend and we decided to make an apartment-wide carvin' party out of it!
We were all pretty much weenies in the beginning about really getting in there and scooping at the guts, before Roommate 1 gave us a proper lesson. I put it as, you gotta be like "HULK SCOOP!" not "HULK RUB SPOON AGAINST INNARDS, SEE WHAT COME LOOSE."
Roommate 1 was excited by the idea of taking a picture of someone taking a picture of pumpkin guts. I had the honor.
Not all of us were working with scalpels, promise. Actually, Roommate 4's friend was going at his with a cheeseknife. He wasn't very good about not cutting towards himself, wither. We made sure to count his fingers before he left.
Don't I look proud of myself. ...What the hell am I carving, you ask? What, you can't tell?
It's obviously a ninja.
Clearly.
Ffff I don't know what I was doing, trying to do something with all those tiny corners and holes for my first pumpkin ever. I mean, it certainly could have turned out worse, but maybe I should have gone something a little more traditional.
Don't leer at me like that, you jackass squash, my ninja gourd will kick your butt. From the shadows.
Also my pumpkin was lopsided, so yes it has to roll on its back like that.
Most of the way through we got to listen to my Halloween playlist of super cool, but then we ran out of playlist and it devolved into Roommate 1's collection of Taylor Swift. I would've blasted Beyonce over it but to be fair I'd gotten everyone to listen to Re: Your Brains and Ghost Island Adventure so I figured I'd met my quota.
Yaaaay me
