Blog 37 - Halloween Timeeee

Halloween. Brings back memories of trick-or-treating, which really should just be called treating because no one ever does tricks anymore, scary movies, pumpkins, costumes, all that jazz. I have to admit though, I'm not an avid Halloween fan. As a kid I did enjoy the fact that I could literally walk up to a house and they'd give me free candy, but as my love for candy diminished, so did my love for Halloween. I guess now that I'm a little older, Halloween is more about just dressing up and going out. I feel like so many girls use Halloween as an excuse to dress up like sluts and whores though, and to me, that's honestly just such a bad excuse. "Oh it's Halloween so I can justify why I'm wearing such a skanky costume.".....NOT. If you're going to be a skank, secretly or an open one, be one. Don't use Halloween as an excuse to be one. Revealing costumes aside, there really are some great costume ideas that get tossed around. Last year I saw someone be balloon boy, that boy from the news who supposedly got lost in a hot air balloon but was really hiding in the garage the whole time. Creative costumes like that make Halloween so much fun, and I always appreciate a good costume. I also think Halloween is a fun time to wear something that isn't "normal." This year, me and my roommate are going as Mario and Luigi. Not that original, but still fun nonetheless. I've got hats with a sewn on M and L, suspenders (we couldn't/didn't want to get overalls that we'd never use again), cut up shirts, and jean shorts. I'm excited, but definitely not looking forward to the fact that I'm probably going to freeze my ass off tonight. Oh well, all in the spirit of Halloween, right?
