How's everyone's halloween?

Bummer.

My awesome kids are out trick or treating with their father (50 miles away) and I'm at a house that is so far into the boonies that there aren't even any trick or treaters to torment by making them do tricks for their treats (yeah I know, run on sentences).

I'm a not too ugly thirty one year old without even a date on Halloween, making obnoxious posts on a chat forum. How pathetic is that. It's my own fault though. Should have made better plans. Oh well, maybe next year. On the plus side, the kids look really great in the costumes I made for them. Making the kids happy makes up for a lot of silly self pity eh?

I'm gonna go find me some chocolate.

Crazy author lady out.

I hate Halloween. Every year, all these stupid kids come around to my front door, ring the doorbell, demand candy, and rarely ever give thanks...

Ungrateful bastards...

Scrooge has it all wrong. Christmas time is the wrong time to be mean. During Christmas time, you are never forced to do anything, you don't even have to celebrate it. Halloween should be the time he was always pissed off, for the same reasons I expressed above.

halloween was.... interesting for me, to say the least. i went out to go and do my political hours with my friend. yes, i was being political tonight.

it's a funny concept really. we went out to campaign for a candidate, and she had us going around doing "reverse trick or treat." basically we went around to houses and gave out fliers with candy attached to them. we were on the giving end instead of recieving (though i didn't mind if they offered us candy... lol). we were required to wear signs that stated who we were campaigning for, and i swear we got so many strange looks.

when we would go to a house, people would get so confused. we would say "reverse trick or treat," hand them the flier, and they wouldn't be sure if they should give us candy or not. some gave us candy, other stared oddly at us, and a couple laughed.

i only got 3.5 hours out of that though. eh... it was just fun to see people's reactions. i found it amusing... *goes off to rumage through bag of candy*

Well, let's see. I had class until 4:35, didn't get home until 5:30, finished eating dinner by 6:00. Started MIT essays (due tomorrow) around 6:05. Finsihed essays and application around 9:30. Deleted essays because they sucked. Am currently re-writing all essays. Lot of fun...

i think i basically have most people beat. night before halloween was basically a halloween here because underprivlidged kids are bused in and they go trick or treating around our dorms. great idea, i think its awesome....except when i'm trying to study for my two midterms that were on halloween. so yeah, went to poli sci and we were basically expected to answer 9 difficult, intricate questions, a page on each in an hour. i think my hand almost fell off. turned in my test and literally ran with a group of 3-5 people to our next midterm up a steep hill (curse UCLA and their hilly campuses). OMG, that cosmos midterm was definately not fun!

We dressd up in masks and dark clothes, then we sat outside "lifeless"(hehe). We sat the candy out with a note "Sorry, please take one" and scared the kids when they came to take it by "coming to life". :D

me and a bunch of my choir buddies went christmas caroling for halloween. it was so much fun. we have to get money next time we go out.

Wow... over 200 replies and over 4000 views, yet this thread still has no rating. heh. Anyway,

How many girls out there enjoy the theater/acting/anything related to the legitimate stage? I'm a techie for that too, master of lighting (NSI rocks) and sound (1500 watts in a relatively small auditorium heh heh heh), and enjoy working on productions just as much as viewing a good production.

Hey! A fellow techie! :) I was wondering if anyone else her did that. I do lights/sets but I personally don't like doing sound :mad:

I was going to tech our fall's musical, but I got so busy with FIRST that I just didn't have the time :( The spring show is during regionals/nationals so I won't be able to tech that one either. Oh well, there's always next year!
