Meh.
*tap tap* Ahem. Is this thing on?
So today, in an exercise or maybe just an example of my lameness, I am skipping the work halloween party. It happens during lunch, so I don't even have to come back to work or go to someone's house to go, and yet I'm still not going!
Why? Well, I never figured out a costume. One person declared Harry Potter theme, and I was thinking Molly Weasley or Professor Tralawney, but couldn't find the elements for the costumes without spending money I didn't want to spend. Then another person declared it duct tape themed, and I thought of ways I could combine the themes but ultimately I just didn't care enough. My little sister sews costumes for halloween for herself, and I think she just got all those genes.
Then last night I couldn't bring myself to care enough to make anything for it (its a lunch). I was all fired up to make candy corn but then didn't have all the ingredients and it kind of just derailed me. I grumped around for a while until N- told me that I didn't need to feel guilty about it, it wasn't that big of a deal.
I told one co-worker about not going and got the typical response - as if I'm committing some kind of social faux pas. When I said to someone yesterday I wasn't sure I'd go, there was the usual blinking of eyes and surprised look, "Why wouldn't you?" kind of thing. And I don't know what it is, but I've skipped this particular party the last two years. I don't have any moral issues with Halloween, and I love fall, and I even like most of my co-workers. I just don't care!
Why would I rather sit at home then go to a party? Meh.
All I feel is meh.
