Happy Halloween/Halloweekend!

Tonight marks the first (or, arguably, the second) day of Halloweekend 2011. This year, Halloween lands on a Monday, which means that this year, there is maximum opportunities to par-tay. Basically, students are justified in getting dressed up, getting drunk, putting their morals off to the side, and having a good time from Thursday-Monday.

That being said, I'm really bad at Halloween.

"How is someone bad at Halloween?" you might ask. Well, I'm not sure, but somehow it's just not my strong point. Halloween is to me what New Year's Eve is to lots of other people. I always build it up in my head, think of all the fun/festive/sweet things I am going to do, but inevitably I get busy, Halloween sneaks up on me, and I'm there, with a shitty/no pumpkin, a last-minute costume, and even more last-minute plans. Don't get me wrong, I still have a good time, but in way that's not much different than any other weekend.

Especially that costume thing I mentioned. Every. Goddamn. Year. I am the worst at Halloween costumes. Year after year, I find myself a few days before, without a costume, and end up throwing together a half-assed costume. It sucks. This year, I was determined to have a well-thought out, properly planned, awesome costume, ready at least two weeks before Halloween. Yet somehow (I blame midterms), here I am, at 4PM on the Friday of Halloween weekend, without a costume. Or a very clear idea what I'm doing this weekend. Oops.

Fortunately, a few people are coming to visit from Vancouver, so it'll be a fun weekend no matter what. Now in terms of the costume- off to the Dollar Store!

I'm not above doing this for a last minute costume. I won't. But 

it's something I would do. I'M THAT BAD AT COSTUMES.
