well we are home. I finally found a formal I wore in college and wore that. The neighborhood does a kid's a parade - major street closed for 13 blocks. It was a madhouse trying to keep the afterschool kids together and other kids out of our group. Afterwards the neighborhood on the street is really a madhouse with the older kids all running around unsupervised and crowding into any business that is giving out candy. We tried 5 apartments in our building and got ZERO. Only one person was home and they didn't have candy. It seems no one reallu trick-or-treats in this building BUT the bowl of dum dums I left at our door while we were out is all gone. The bowl was TAKEN, GONE. People are just tacky.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Aaand we're done. 94 trick or treaters, we're out of candy and closed down.
Peter is walking around clutching a (wrapped) Milky Way and saying "more!" (must be my kid) and Eve and her dad are out on the next block, which gets HUNDREDS every year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The bowl was TAKEN, GONE.
Ugh. Tacky indeed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Trick-or-treater count: 2. But one of them told us to say Happy Halloween to the dog, which made me go "AWWWW".

Just got back from Chipotle. Lots of people with pieces of tin foil wrapped around their heads. If I were a Chipotle manager, I would totally bounce them.

I hope to not get trick or treaters. I have no candy. They can have ice cubes and fine tequila. I just need to get home and get unconscious as quickly as possible.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, beth! Maybe keep your clothes on.

So tacky!
I'm pretty sure no one would come to my door, since I have no decorations on it. I'm guessing that's the code. I did hear a little girl ToTing on the other side of the building (there are two staircases that go up from the lobby).

Given the noises outside still, we could easily have given away twice the candy we did, but I have my limits.
Casper is back and eating Pixy Sticks. She ran into her Pre-K teacher taking a little boy in her class trick or treating, because he didn't have anyone to take him. I'm thinking we got one of the good teachers.

yeah, I think door decorations is a good path to follow, we just buzzed everyone we know. I have to work out a better plan for next year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Halloween!(G is handing out candy tonight)
Happy Birthday Daniel!
