content(Lo, if you choose to be Sexy Red Riding Hood or Smoking Hot Super Grover on this night, I salute you, because you're wearing a costume, and I don't question how other people want to celebrate this night of nights. But if you're doing it because you don't think you have a choice, or because you can't think of anything else, call upon the Great Pumpkin. He's the Squash. He'll hook you up.)
I spent last night with my mother and sister at the Pirates of Emerson Haunted House Park, where we demonstrated that sometimes money can buy happiness, since it was money that got us through the gates, and money that allowed us to spring for Speed Passes, thus bypassing the huge "night before Halloween, let's party at the haunted houses" lines. I also demonstrated my eerie spatial memory by tearing through the corn maze in less than ten minutes, trailed by a cluster of lost-looking thrill-seekers who had been wandering the maze for over an hour before I came through Walking With Purpose. Had I been one of the Children of the Corn trolling for victims, He Who Walks Behind the Rows would have eaten very, very well.
Today, my back is out, and so I'm wearing my Starfleet bathrobe (in Sciences blue) over slouchy jeans and an athletic shirt, representing the few, the proud, the bored Starfleet Academy graduate students. Give me replicator coffee or give me death.
Enjoy this holiday. The walls of the world are thin today, and whether your personal year turns tomorrow or two months from tomorrow, thank you for spending this year here, with me.
Trick or treat.

I was wondering why I keep hearing this constant loud bass beat. Man, I wish the neighbours in the next universe would find some more interesting music to play...
I think celebrating New Year at any time is appropriate. I have a tendency to alarm cow-orkers by saying "See you next year!" when going home on random Friday evenings. Or randomly when going home on Friday evenings, or some other permutation of the words.
/me tells your back not to stay out for long...

That's the music of the goddamn SPHERES, man.
Don't look at me like that. In OUR universe, God likes dubstep. *shrugs helplessly*

Sadly, spending the weekend gaming and the month working on my dissertation means I just get to wear a fall shirt today, rather than a costume. (All my spare costumes are anime ones, and I wanted one for work that other people would have some idea what I was.)

Also, may your candy corn hat keep your ears warm as fall deepens into winter, though I understand winter is odd on your side of this land.

Today I am prancing around as Amy Pond, even though I have nowhere to go.

I decided to go to work (as we're allowed to dress up even though we aren't retail) as a "Wicked Girl Saving Myself" this year. I'm wearing the black version of the t-shirt and black jeans, with turquoise nail paint and blue hair. Low key, but still a rocking costume, imho.

This delights me.
October 31 2011, 16:01:34 UTC 5 years ago
And a very Happy Halloween to you.

I wasn't going to dress up at all (except for orange socks), but Torrey made a poutyface at me, so I put on an orange tank top and a black overshirt and my ravens-and-crows necklace that Jenny made me which contains much purple and copper (orange) and a black rose in my ponytail and orange earrings.
Also: SPOOKY HALLOWEEN FISH! I think I have bred them all now. I need to check. Also started breeding with the skelly fish and the mummy fish and the zombie fish. I caved and made a whole spooky tank. :D
May it rain candy corn on you for as long as you wish it!

I'm all for Rosh Hashanah, Halloween and Oshougatsu--you can never have too many fresh starts.
October 31 2011, 17:22:36 UTC 5 years ago
Happy Halloween!
October 31 2011, 16:58:44 UTC 5 years ago
I'm hoping to talk my almost 13 year old into one more round of trick or treating. I just love walking my kids around on a fall night, seeing the costumes, talking them into giving me candy... ;)
Hope your back recovers swiftly!
