Happy Halloween you guys! Just curious: what are the rest of the Book! Cubbers doing today? What are your costumes?

Hope you guys have a great day!

I didn't dress up or anything. I was the "candy distributor" at my house which meant that I was constantly climbing over a baby gate (to keep my dog inside) to answer the door. And who needs a doorbell when your dog goes nuts everytime someone walks up to the house. Quite annoying, actually...and we ran out of candy. And I had a test to study for. So yeah, a boring night for me!

Aw, that sounds like an annoying evening, actually. Hopefully the weekend'll be better?

my halloween was pretty uneventful. they served candy at dinner, but that was the extent of my celebration. i took a nap during all of the events on campus.

so.. my halloween was kinda lame.

halloween was kind of busy this year. it usually consists of me dressing mildly different to give candy to the trick or treaters at my house.

this year it was two parties before halloween. on the actual day i went to "the freak parade," as my mother so kindly put it. (the parade in the village where you find everything from drag queens to a my size barbie hanging on a cross). it wasnt as great as it could have been because im shy and i have a problem with that many people staring at me. and no one got my slytherin costume (although it was cute when this guy blushed and asked what i was supposed to be). oh, and some guy made me spill coffee on my tie but its kind of my fault for being a spaz. but it was interesting to watch all of the people around.

and of course, since this is "book club style halloween," i managed to read about 100 pages of the princess bride.

i was a whore. black boots up to the knees, fishnets, hair teased. the works. pretty lame, and pretty cheap.

my mom told me to say i was a 'tart' though, sort of take the edge off of it.

stephanie- your freak parade sounds like it was so much fun!!! what was the most wild costume there?

aww. your freak parade did seem pretty cool

yay for everyone's costumes

parade sounded really cool..i agree!!

i didn't do anything either..and we only got like one kid..dont' usually get a lot anyway, and it was sort of rainy..so yeah...pretty lame. haha

and my dog freaks out when people come to the house too. really annoying! i agree! hah

there were a lot of really cool costumes. i felt really unoriginal.

i think the freakiest costume was the naked guy. well, he had a little thing in the front but there were butt cheeks whipping in the wind. and it wasnt very attractive.

there were a lot of religious and political costumes. one guy was a pope with a little boy doll tied around his penis. it kind of bothered me.

the naked guy? very creepy. i wouldn't like that either...


and the pope? i mean, come one..kind of inappropriate..or in my opinion. hah i wouldn't have liked it either..

not something to be joking about or anything.

but the parade as a whole seems cool!!
i would have liked your costume..people are just slow and can't figure things out! lol

i agree with lauren

Heh, the entire freak parade reminds me a lot of Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. >.> The entire Slytherin costume thing sounds really awesome though! Most of the costumes I saw this year were the $40 slut-in-a-bag costumes, so something original like that would have made my day.

Actually, there was this one lady who rang up my Picture of Dorian Gray purchase who was in scrubs that had saran-wrap, pictures from magazines, and fake money stappled all over it. When I asked her what she was, she said she was dressed as a plastic surgeon.

I ended up just wearing an old home-made penguin hood from last year, and laying around my house reading, since I felt sick.

Otherwise I would have ended up in San Francisco enjoying the costumes, and then ended up there again tonight for the Dia De Los Muertos parade.

thank you guys. my costume feels appreciated. but i ended up hiding the tie most of the time because of the huge coffee stain.

a homemade penguin hood sounds cool. i wasnt feeling well either.

what's the Dia De Los Muertos parade? ive never heard of it but it sounds interesting.

okay the buttcheeks whipping in the wind comment made me laugh really hard (thankfully no one else is home)! But what kind of a costume is going naked?! And the pope costume does sound quite disturbing.
