Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

That's right! I'll just be over here, doing that.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The Boy is currently ordering a Superman t-shirt online for Halloween. I convinced him to wear his suit with the t-shirt under it, and when people ask him who he is, to rip open the button down shirt.

What? He had to buy the suit for his mom's funeral, and he said he wanted to find other places to wear it! Plus, he's an adult; he could have said no to my suggestion if he didn't want to be Superman.

(I told him as a bonus, he could change out of the suit later, keep the t-shirt on, put on jeans, and tell people he's Sheldon.)

t edit Plus, at the party we're going to, people will be STUNNED to see him not in a dress and heels. Seriously. I cannot stress enough how shocked they'll be to see him in Serious Men's Attire. Imagine people's reaction if Jilli were to wear jeans, white Keds, and a Justin Bieber t-shirt. THAT kind of stunned.

I had a friend more or less do that costume, but he kept the buttons open all the time. It was actually really great!!

What is everyone dressing as for Halloween, if you are dressing up? I'm not 100% sure yet, as I don't even have any plans, but I think I will be going as Kim Possible. I have the hair color for it!

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

Imagine people's reaction if Jilli were to wear jeans, white Keds, and a Justin Bieber t-shirt.

I am trying to eat here, Tep, not be stunned into a coma.

Oooh, I am eating. I had an eggplant that I should have cooked up a few days ago but didn't and so I cubed the best parts and roasted them with garlic and olive oil until cooked and then turned the heat up and caramelized them a bit. On top of lemon pepper paparadelle. It's yummy bliss.

I'm going to Amyth's Being Human party, so I'll be a vampire, ghost, or werewolf. I haven't decided which to go with. I'm thinking wearing gray and carrying a mug of tea about will get it done.

Probably a witch, just because I already have the parts of the costume, and the party is this coming weekend and I'm disinclined to go shop for a different costume.

I am saying! That's how shocked people will be at The Boy in a men's suit! (Which he looks awesome in, I must say. Though I am biased.)

I might go shopping this weekend as well, see if some other costume comes to me. But I think Kim Possible would be fun. All my friends live in an entirely different time zone right now, and so Halloween is going to be tragically sad all alone. But I like handing out candy, I guess?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I ate half a chicken sandwich. It was very exciting.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm wearing this with a pair of Vulcan ears. DH has a gold command long-sleeve shirt.
