So apparently I get the procrastinatrix award today. Who was out buying candy at 4:30 to hand out to the ruffians tonight? ME! I do give out the good stuff though: reese's peanut butter cups, etc. I know I'm not supposed to be handing out that candy this year, but because of my aforementioned status as procrastinatrix, I could not get it together to get other candy options. I even trimmed the bushes outside so people could get to the front door!
"This American Life" this week was brutal. It was on "Middle School" and about 10-15 minutes in my relief at not being 12-13 again washed over me like a spring rain. I thank goodness I am an adult and don't have to go through junior high school bullshit anymore.

I bought Tootsie Pops to give out this year. They're not as tempting to me as other candies, and they're not the sort of thing where you can down half a bag over the course of an hour's munchies.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I listened to that, too le nub. Although, I think sometimes the bullshit is the same, it is just my level of caring and emotion around it is less!

Sophia,
you might be right, but I was really struck by the ways in which the junior high school students were talking about dating. Some adults aren't necessarily more functional, but most of us can handle the disappointments and dating a bit better than that!

It sounds kid of horrible, but it is adorable.

I did love the girl who told 8 or 10 boys "I don't know" when they asked her to the dance, because she didn't want to be mean, but she just wanted to hang out with the other girls.
I might have missed part of what you heard, though because I was working while listening, and I mostly remember the poor boy from Rochester who was depressed about moving to a new school and how hard it was to make friends.

If by horrible you mean AWESOME, then yeah!

Oh internets, never change: someone has made a vaguely cranky comment on my FB post about our anniversary. "Only in America. (rolls eyes at the Samhain being taken in vain..)"
Apparently I am a Very Bad Pagan for getting married on Samhain. Pffft, whatever.

That is awesome!!
le nubian, why aren't we supposed to be giving candy this year? Or is it Reese's we're not supposed to be giving? (I got zero trick or treaters last year, and suspect to lure them back to my house, which is behind another house, I'd have to highly decorate and light up the walkway, and that ain't happening)
