Wanna try to see all of the Castro this year?
Hey, I bet I saw more of it than you did.
I may not remember it, but still.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
There's a party I'm invited to (I think) but I am SO LAME about Halloween, and no, it's not from being jaded from Salem MA living... I have been like this for a while. I just don't feel excited or inspired to dress up and I feel uncreative and stupid and stressed out about it.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
How many people (on both sides) would take a 180 degree turn in their stance on issues such as the war in Iraq if it was Al Gore as president instead of George Bush?
I seem to remember a fair number of Democrats supporting this awful war because they wanted to give the President the benefit of the doubt, because they more or less believed the what the executive branch of the government said until proven false. So I don't think it is symetrical - the cheerleading effect (at least in the past) was more Republican than Democratic. That may not be true in the future. I think a lot of honest moderates may have concluded we can't afford Republicans any more until the Republican party undergoes major changes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
thinks Halloween in the Castro might need to be next on the list
Totally up for that next year...never to early to plan.
It is SO FUN. Even in the rain.

Yeah, I'd like to believe that, but frankly I'm skeptical. We'll see in November.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bless the krav Halloween party, or I'd never have an excuse to dress up.
Some people put a lot of effort into the outfits--last year's pair costume winners were the Incredibles, and they looked just that. Made from scratch too, I think including the padding. Single winner was a guy who dressed up as one of the female instructors. Terrible likeness, but really very funny.
The other things that flashed through my mind were: Britney Warrior Princess, Death, Alice in Wonderland, and Alice Cooper in Wonderland.
But I like Aunty Entity the most.
Someone came as The Crow to the krav party last year, and I'll never be able to dress as that around those people. He was terrifying looking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Halloween used to be my favorite! But I got really lame over the last couple of years, thanks to stupid holiday-killing grad school. So far I have no plans and no ideas, although the idea of dressing up for work was floated. Not sure what I'd do for that, since it would involve wearing it all day, including commuting.

Watch the original In-Laws--it's the preferred CIA method of running when dodging bullets, according to Peter Falk in the film.

Two years ago we had near-mandatory Halloween participation at work. Luckily I had meetings to go to that meant I couldn't dress up, but I was still drafted to decorate our work area. We ended up winning second place in the building competition, but the organiser never redeemed the gift cert, as far as I can tell.
