I wonder whether one can still buy those little silver sprinkles. I seem to recall someone telling me that they were taken off the market for poisonous type reasons.
You see, for Bioween1 on Friday one of the fun options is the Monster Cookie contest3, and besides the obligatory awful4-tasting ones and the garlic-and-possibly-cross-shaped ones, I just now thought of perhaps silver-flavoured ones. I could, of course, do some type of doggie-biscuit, but that would be playing favourites.
How do you repel other monsters? Maybe the zombies would avoid the vegan cookies, but not the vegan cook. Hmm. Rude shapes might keep away unicorns, but those are friendly. Iron keeps away fairies, but blood attracts vampires, so that's a no-win.
In conclusion, this is the first Halloween I've actively celebrated (besides buying candy) since I was fourteen.
Poll What should Angharad be for Halloween? 1No, I don't know what to dress up as using the findable free things lying around my apartment, except perhaps "diurnal Barbara Gordon", "somewhat imprecise Yomiko Readman", or "creatively anachronous2 pirate".
2My skirt options are scant, but I must make use of last month's boot purchase somehow.
