Costumes

Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping I always wanted to have a really kickass costume you know the kind that are like the best ever! I mean a really quality one not those cheap kind they sell at Halloween time that are made of nylon. And what's with these costume themes? I understand the traditional ones like the witch and the devil or even ones that are based off movies and tv shows like the Stewie (from Family Guy) and Jack Sparrow costumes. But some of them just put words like "Naughty", "Sexy", "Hot", "Punk", and "Goth" in front of costume names. Like the "Gothic Geisha", "Punk Skeleton", and "Naughty Newscaster". Ok, ok I made the last one up. But there could be a costume like that eventually. I've been thinking the best costume I can have is one I make myself. It will be more durable than one bought from the store and it will probably cost less too. I mean costumes today cost more than durable clothes you can wear than once a year. I don't know how many times I've heard people complaining about how their costume didn't look like the one on the package pimped out with all the optional accessories. But I'm not going to diss Halloween it's probably my fave holiday next to Christmas that is still #1 with me. I would write about how much I love Christmas but that is for another blog. I already have some ideas for next year's costume. But I won't tell what they are. In closing I think the best costumes are the ones that let you be yourself or be somebody else.

More thoughts on Halloween

Ok after writing my first Halloween blog I noticed that I forgot to mention some other things. Mooching kids/adults: Ok does that baby in the bunting dressed as a puppy really going to eat that Snickers bar? Because everybody knows the candy is for your baby. Please if you are coming back to my house for 2nds please have the decency to come back for more candy in a different costume. What are you supposed to be? I hate when that happens. You think your costume is so great as what you thought or hoped you looked like. That is so annoying. Last year WWE Raw made fun of this by having nobody know who Todd Grisham was supposed to be. I would really like to know what constitutes a Halloween song? Because some people are really confused. I mean is "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco a Halloween song? Please explain this to me. I fail to see how it is. "Dead Man's Party" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" are Halloween songs well to me. For the record I don't even listen to BOC, but I do know that song. ("More cowbell!") Don't forget "Ghost Town" by the Specials I just love that song. Those first few things are my dislikes/gripes with Halloween. Here are some of the things I like about it. The Candy: Ok it's not Halloween without the candy, and I love candy. Actually I love any holiday with candy floating around. Ok some holidays I like more than others. I like Halloween more than Valentines Day. Plus I like a lot of seasonal Halloween candy a lot of people don't like. I like mellocreams aka candy corn and those peanut butter kisses. Make up and dress: I'm not talking about costumes here well sort of. What I mean is that for Halloween or around Halloween time you can get away with wearing an outfit you wouldn't normally wear and I'm not talking about sexy clothes either. I mean you can get away with wearing wild make up and dark colored nail polish with out being made fun of. I prefer dark polish year round. Especially black, you can get away with black because it's "festive". You can also get away with wearing "tacky" clothes you never had the courage to wear on any other day and call it a "costume". Being Scared: You know this is a fun thing to do or have done to you. I know I like it. Wow. This part of the blog sounds a little perverted. You people and you dirty minds shame on you! I just mean I like to be scared and scare people.

Does This Count as a Costume?

You know Halloween is like the only time you can get away with wearing badly applied makeup. So I decided to badly apply eyeliner. People will just think it's part of a costume or something. But it won't a be a costume like "badly applied eyeliner lady". That would just be silly. But I call dibs on that costume for future use. It was my idea. J/K. My nails are polished all black and glossy. So elegant. I was going to wear my witch dress, but I guess I gained a little more weight than I thought I did. It was really tight in the stomach area. It's a pretty old costume though. I've had it since the 90s. Maybe I need to buy a new one. It's all raggedy looking. Can I still find a modest witch dress costume? I don't want to pay a lot of money for it. I guess I could always try to make one or something. I was also planning on wearing a cape, but I decided not to. I ended up wearing my long black skirt with a black shirt and my black and white striped socks. I love my black and white striped socks. They are so cute! I don't know if I like my black and white striped ones or my red and white striped ones better. I should really buy a velvet hooded cloak. I think those are so elegant. "I would drape myself in velvet if it was socially acceptable." as George Costanza would say. I do love velvet. I think it's one of my favorite fabrics. A lot of people didn't come to my house. I though a lot of people would since it was a Friday. There is still a bunch of candy left, but I can take care of that. In non-Halloween related news I hurt my foot by having a vacuum fall on it while was vacuuming with no shoes on. I guess I should wear shoes when I vacuum now. I also managed to finish my review of Hi-Chew candy which will be up in a few days.

Last blog before school

Category: Life Since this will be my last blog before I start up school again. I want to talk about some different things cause I know my return to school will bring some type of interesting story. Valentines Day: You know I'm not really big on starting up the new semester in late February because you get out in June. But I like it for 2 reasons; February sweeps (which didn't really matter this year because of the strike) and I don't have to be in school on Valentines Day. The Writers' Strike: I'm so glad it got resolved. To show my support I wasn't really watching any prime time besides WWE wrestling . The writers the WWE use aren't even in the WGA. So I thought it was "ok" to watch. I was getting by in January when the late night shows returned. I even have "strike bangs/fringe" well not really I've been growing out the nice little hack job I gave myself a little before Halloween. To get by I tried to write fan fiction. I haven't done that on a while. I wrote one for The Office and 30 Rock. I never finished them. Here is a quick summary of the stories I wrote. For The Office one Kevin's band is featured in a local music tv show and Pam wins a trip for 2 (never determined the place in story) and Michael gets jealous because she won a prize. 30 Rock; due to the writers' strike the writers of TGS are on strike and picket outside the building. Tracy thinks they are protesting for some political cause. Jack is desperate for programming so he gets Kenneth to help him again. What did I do to get by? I watched DVDs and videos of course. I mostly watched cartoons and my John Cena DVD. Plus his DVD gave me something "new" to watch while he was injured. I was either doing that or I was online. I still don't know what'll happen on Scrubs. I hope it all comes on tv, but if it doesn't I'll get the DVDs. I really want to know what happens at the end. I really hope JD and Elliot will get together. I'm a big supporter of that couple. I don't even know why I'm saying that they are fictional characters. I know a lot of people don't like to see all the couples they support. But if you are curious I'll tell you other ones from other shows I watch. Pleas don't ask about a show I don't watch like Lost because I'm not familiar with the couples on that show. I also want to know what that janitor's real name is. For some reason I think it has to do with or have a connection to The Picture of Dorian Gray. I also watched sports, real sports. I mostly watched bowl games and Laker games. I also got back to journaling on paper. Man I really missed that. Week in review may or may not be back, it just depends on how much homework and "material" I have.

Let’s get Sporty with some Candy!

It's already the first of October and it's still hot! I guess we can blame global warming for that. But with the beginning of October means there will be lots of candy floating around. One of my favorite things! I love candy! Today I started thinking about Halloween candy and I was craving a caramel apple pop. Now I have to go out an get some. I'm also thinking about the baseball playoffs. The Dodgers and the Angels are in it. Wouldn't it be so cool it they ended up being in the World Series together? It's highly unlikely, but I would love to see it.
