The Halloween 411.

Nov 03, 2014 16:47

Halloween was awesome! I terrified all the children! We were steampunk vampires this year. I took my old pseudo-Cabbage Patch Doll and sat in front of the big windows. When kids were coming down the sidewalk, I’d bury my face in the doll’s neck and wait until they got almost up to the front steps and then lift my head. My mouth was caked in ( Read more... )

weather or not, psych is my summer squee, costumes are creative, shopping is a vice, halloween is my fav holiday, my girls, friends 4evah, the bff is my bestest best friend, vampires suck, that's why they call it a workout, art blahblahblahing, real life, because i'm sick and twisted like that, do you like waffles, sister oh sister

That sounds crazy yet fun! I don't see many folks participating in Halloween like that anymore, so it's pretty awesome you had such a fun time with it!!

Are you guys still coming into town this coming weekend?? What's the plan?

You know, we didn't used to but since we moved into this house, we really have gone all out. We live in a tiny little neighborhood right off of the main business loop, so a lot of kids who live on the main streets, where it isn't safe to walk at night because of traffic, come here to this neighborhood. They arrive in vans full and so we get a lot of action here. That plus being on the corner lot with a decent yard and how could we not take advantage of that opportunity? Besides, the kids in our neighborhood are a pain in our ass year round, so at Halloween, I finally get to give back a little to them and make them scream!!!

Got your email about Saturday - that's fine. We'll meet you at the aquarium at 11 then and maybe do that for about 3-4 hours and grab something to eat and you can just take off whenever you need to. Am excited to see you soon!

I LOVE that you were throwing yourself at the window all fierce and scary! It sounds like you had a pure BLAST this year!

I kept making the snarling noises too - even though they couldn't actually hear me through the window. LOL I couldn't help myself, it's like shooting a toy gun and having to go 'phew phew". It was a blast, absolutely!

Pew pew, and it was a BLAST! Heh. :P

Sounds like great fun.

I really did have a great Halloween! It sounds like you did too. It is my favorite holiday after all, but now we're on to Thanksgiving. (which does have pumpkin pie so that's a plus!)

Sounds like you had an amazing halloween!! Why is it only once a year?

I bet people loved the show you put on. I hope the baby was tasty. I hear baby blood is the best.

I'm so glad the jewelry got there and could be a part of your awesome costumes. Glad you had a good time hun.

IDK, why is it only once a year?! We should have Halloween in June parties!

Babies are delicious - all juicy and tender! ahahaha People were getting a kick out of my performance, for sure. The BFF said "You win Halloween," which I will take as the highest compliment!

I'm so glad the jewelry got there and could be a part of your awesome costumes. Glad you had a good time hun.

I felt all proud and shit every time someone asked me about the pieces - like, "Oh yeah, I commissioned them from a friend. She made these ones specifically for me." I was wearing the ankhs and the dragons and I got to say, "Oh the dragon one is inspired by a tattoo piece I did for her." I'm such a dork but it all made me grin.

I'm using some of my halloween decorations for Christmas as well, because who says Christmas can't be a bit goth?

You do win at Halloween!!

It makes me smile knowing people asked about them. Hopefully means I did a good job! And yes, I think it's cool that your drawing inspired a physical piece of jewelry.

If your a dork, so am I hun!
