Halloween, and what are you going to be?

My Boba Fett pumpkin. Do I win?
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

What? You have to be kidding me. I think it's one of the coolest holidays ever. Are you religious by any chance?

Nope, has nothing to do with religion.. Just always thought dressing up and getting candy from strangers was silly (I used to do it all the time though, so it's not like I've never participated). I like the pumpkin carving and decorating or whatever, but trick-or-treating is just not my thing. ;)

Really? Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I love dressing up and there's definitely no better holiday for it. I've gone as a clown, a lobster, Princess Jasmine (from Aladdin), Beetlejuice, a renaissance witch, Aeris (from FFVII), a pirate, Death (from the Sandman comics), a roller-skating zombie, and a kitty cat.

Don't have a costume planned for this year though. It looks like if I'm going to dress up as anything, it will be something made up at the last second or reused from last year.

Pumpkin carving and corn mazes tomorrow though! Yay :-)
The rollerskating zombie sounds awesome

Halloween is leik, my favorite holiday~. Though since I've been an older person, it's not as exciting as it used to be. :(

Probably some-kind of a vegetarian Snorlax.

In the past I've been a white kid... That's what I was this time. I don't know if I can pull that one off though, it'll take quite a bit extra makeup as I'm getting older.

No but really I didn't dress up or anything like that. My girlfriend was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, and that was pretty hawt.
We went to her house... Passed out candy and I got her addicted to old school NES and SNES. Yea... Not way exciting but it was fun.

I was the life cycle of a chicken - I started out with a chicken hat thing, and put one of those fake arrows (the arrow through the head thing) through it. Halfway through the night, I changed to what I think was actually a cooked turkey, but it was close enough. I believe there are pics, I'll post em when I get em.
