Looking back it is kind of funny now. Once when I was in school the kids would make fun of me and say I did not need a costume. Even when I thought I looked pretty normal, before I decided to give them a reason to gawk a bit. But then again they were pretty mean and I do not think they really got what school was about, namely learning and self improvement. I suppose I do not really blame them, since those things are not exactly going to make your school social life run smoothly! I digress.
So now as this season approaches I feel a tingle of anticipation. Suddenly it seems my soundtracks fit the mood. I can get out and stretch my real self a bit. We usually go to the Rennaisance Faire in this season. Everyone gets out and plays at being something they are not. With their neo period garb and affected accents, I feel more relaxed and at home. The same goes for
Draculas Ball. It is a chance to get all dressed up and be more me somehow.
