I love Halloween for many unknown reasons. Is it the spooky atmosphere? Could be. Is it the air of mystery surrounding the holiday? Possibly. Is the the opportunity to dress up in an awesome costume and drink till I can't say vowels anymore? Likely. I've been slowly decorating my house, but over the years my decorations have gotten pretty scant. Mostly they've gotten lost or broken and I've never really had any money to replace them. I bought a couple things this year and plan to make a couple more, but I'm not going to go crazy.
What I'm really looking forward to is Thrill the
World on the 29th. Every year, thousands of people all over the U.S. (and I think the world...) gather in public places to dance Thriller. There's always at least 100 peeps in Pioneer Square here in Portland doing it all at the same time. I've always wanted to do it, but could never find the time to actually learn the dance.This year is different.
I already know half of it, and we're still a month away. My friend Sam came over the other night and we spent TWO HOURS working on it! I can't wait to start working on my costume.
I saw some really kickass youtube videos on zombie makeup I'm itching to try.
I'm still on the search for a cute costume for Rowan. He loves Cars and Ironman but I can't find a relevant costume small enough for him anywhere. He may need to be a generic dinosaur or something. This will be the first year I get to take him trick-or-treating so I'm looking forward to it. Also looking forward to doling out candy to him one piece at a time so he doesn't overload on sugar.
AHAHAHAHAAAAAA......
Just kidding. I'm NOT looking forward to it because as soon as he figures out what that shit is, he won't leave me alone about it until it's gone. I anticipate many, MANY meltdowns in the future.
Ah, kids.
