Happy Indeed
So I'm home alone on candy duty after spending the FUCKING WORST HOUR OF MY LIFE in traffic. Yeah, Vegas traffic sucks my balls and all those assholes who can't fucking drive can die and burn in hell. That aside, Halloween is usually my favorite holiday. Candy and dressing up and all that good stuff, it usually speaks to my ancient pagan innards. But the last couple years have been fucking shitty. Why is that? You may ask. Well... ever since I stopped trick-or-treating things have gone down hill. Last time I T-O-Ted was my senior year in highschool. Some of you may say "damn that's old." But I don't care. I had fun and my friends and I loved it. Now it's either my mom and dad going to their friend's house and having a party and asking me to go along which is GAY! Like I'd want to spend an entire evening on candy duty at someone elses house surrounded by middle aged moms and dad's talking about the PTA. I would go out with my friends but they either make plans beforehand, don't invite me, or are out of town. Once again... GAY! I don't like many people. I'm very selective by who I hang out with. So, in sum, I don't like morons. And I notice a continuous trend of people getting dumber. Therefore, my selection for Halloween outings is limited. Shitty for holidays such as this, yes, but decent any other time of the year. So, basically, instead of dressing up, going out, getting drunk and having a debaucherous time; I'm stuck at home giving the 5 kids in our neighborhood candy. And those sons of bitches are lucky. We give out the king size candy bars. So, I'm going to sit my fat ass on the couch and hopefully they'll be playing some good horror movies on the Sci-fi channel. If I can't go out and have fun, I might as well scare the shit out of myself at home alone.

OMG! I think we might have been separated at birth! :o)
Halloween is by far my favorite holiday and this year it consisted of a wonderful spaghetti dinner by myself while my roommate and her friends got all dressed up and my horrible 8 loads of laundry! I spent the majority of tonight scaring the hell out of myself with STUPID Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween movies...between that, my seriously overactive imagination, and the somewhat creepy basement, it was enough excitment for one night! It wasn't all bad though, I spent about an hour on the phone with my sister (which doesn't happen much) because her jackass of a husband was too busy to do anything with her! :o) Ahh, you've gotta love the holidays! :o)
Oh yeah....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! |

Ugh I hate Halloween. We do it all wrong. It's another over-commercialized holiday. 30 bucks for a costume? Well I suppose you could make your own, but it's risky business throwing a white sheet over your head in a predominatley black neighborhood. Wouldn't it be funny though if you were wearing a ghost costume, and when you were in jeopardy you would flash blue like old school Pac-man?
The Day of the Dead (El dia de Los Muertos) in Mexico is a much better holiday. |

Every costume I've ever had has been hand made. Or just thrown together at the last second. I remember one year, I totally forgot it was halloween until the day of, so my mom grabbed a white curtain and draped it around me like a toga, and we had a bow and arrows (yeah, we have a bow and arrows) and I went as Diana, goddess of the hunt. That was a fun year. And El Dia De Los Muertos is VERY commercialized. Do you think they just hand make those huge paper machet skeletons? Sure, you can buy them for cheap (because everything is really cheap in Mexico), but it's still very commercial for their standards. |

One of my best friends is Mexican. If I didn't know about anything about the holiday, I wouldn't be that good a friend (mostly because I would be ignoring her family's celebration of their dead loved ones). |

I'm with you. Halloween is not the same if you are unable to trick or treat. I hate staying home and handing out candy to the greedy-ass children that pound on my door. So I stopped! |
