For the last couple of weeks I've been trying to decide whether to go to the 80s party or the Witches' Ball tonight, after my coven meeting. Now that the time is drawing nearer, I suspect I won't go to either. I haven't managed to put together any sort of a costume at all. Had an idea for a spider costume but it would have taken more time and money than I have. Maybe another time - hell, given the name of my business, I could wear it at trade shows! :-)
Someone told me at Sistrum last night "Just go through your closet, I'm sure you've got stuff in there that could make a costume of some kind, everyone does." Well, sort of. Maybe if I was going somewhere where no one knows me. This is the down side of being the "Halloween-is-every-day" sort of person - my wardrobe could produce witch/goth/vampire/dominatrix outfits for a whole room full of people, but none of it will look like a costume on ME!
But mainly, I'm just feeling tired. Between work and various forms of personal stress I just feel like I want to hibernate for a month. I'm not depressed as such but I do feel kind of exhausted and like I'm being pulled in many directions at once. I want the world to go away for a little while and just leave me to curl up with my cats and some ice cream and my beta copy of
Geneforge.
Maybe I'll go to the All Hallows Kink party at the Reverb on Wednesday, or the Halloween party at Savage, or both. If I have some ideas by then, or the wherewithal to buy a couple of extra pairs of long satin gloves to make spider arms with.
