Thanks!! We had a great time. We went to my parent's town which is about a half hour away from us. They have scheduled trick or treating and about 90% of the houses sit out in front and hand out gobs of candy. And good stuff, too!! Then we went to a party given by a family my parents are good friends with who have a son that Emeline plays with a lot. Em played her first game of flishlight tag in the woods and went on a night hike. Then we came home and I de-pinked her. Good times had by all.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ah, I did see that but I didn't completely follow what was happening. Thanks for the explanation!
Great costumes, Aims!
I bought no candy and have my porch light out and still have people knocking on my door. I'm ignoring them because no candy, but Walter has to bark

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Y'all are really opening my eyes. I've never heard of truck-and-treat, whole towns agreeing on trick-or-treat times nor whole towns moving H'ween to Saturday because it happens to fall on a Sunday one year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
More cuties!
Yeah, Spidra, there are a lot of places that have non-Halloween official t-o-t times. I've never lived in one, but a local LJ community here gets the question every year about when is t-o-t. And all the locals are like, "???"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
You make a *fantastic* Rosie the Riveter. And Emeline... how much more pink could she be? The answer is none. None more pink.
We're home from a rugged hike up and down Belvedere Street. Several tiny Timmy Lincecums, one bubble Lady Gaga, lots of Iron Men and Spider-Men, a smattering of Captain Jack Sparrows, one Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, a family of lobsters, a Superman family, lots of wicked witches, one girl with amazing Dia de los Muertes face paint, twin boys from Matilda's old preschool dressed as cars from Cars, lots of fairies, two Princess Tianas, an excellent Harley Quinn, a family of Tootsie Rolls, one giant bag of felt M&Ms, one LOLCAT (wearing a big sign that said I CAN HAZ CANDY?), and one boy dressed as Facebook. Matilda was the only Wonder Woman. And I tweaked and refined my Mary Poppins costume from Friday, and it's practically perfect in every way. I never want to take it off, never, ever.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I love this!

Sherlock? Anyone?
Randomly, The Boy's comment while we were watching tonight's episode: "Oh my god, Sherlock is Sheldon!"
And...that's basically true.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"Oh my god, Sherlock is Sheldon!"
To an extent, but I think they're different because Sherlock could totally act like a normal human being if he wanted to. It's just not worth his effort. Sheldon is genuinely baffled by social conventions most of the time.
(One of my favorite BBT moments ever is right at the beginning of the series, in the second episode, when Leonard has to make a sarcasm sign for Sheldon.)
