god i love western culture
I am loving Halloween so far. Today on the way home from the supermarket after buying candies (SWEET ones, none of this sour candy nonsense Line seems to think is NORMAL, yeesh) for little children I walked past a guy dressed up as the Nightcrawler, complete with the blue skin. At work earlier, just before my shift ended, a group of four college students dressed in costume reverse trick-or-treated and gave us candy. There has been a candy basket in the office too, for the past two days.
Back home, around this time people don't give out candy randomly to strangers, and neither do they dress up in costume. Instead they light candles and go to cemeteries to visit dead relatives while they drink and gamble and use the crypts for tables. :|
Needless to say, I prefer what happens over here.
This be my first pumpkin! Ever! Yesterday my groupmates and I were planning on practicing for our presentation that evening but one of them wanted to check out the pumpkin carving, which we did, and you know. Four foreign kids experiencing Halloween for the first time and you know what happened. :|
Pumpkin carving til 3:30, god what were we thinking?
But anyway. That was my pumpkin. :| It's meant to be Harry Potter except I didn't have time to carve his lightning bolt and his mouth because NO MORE TIME PRESENTATION IN TWO HOURS OHMYGOD.
Next year I shall finish Harry, though. Yes.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
