Halloween... an Odd Holiday

It's that time again... only this time I'm living where it'd be too dangerous for little kids to go trick or treating and where people's idea of Halloween fun is getting drunk and dressing up like slutty nurses... or slutty police officers... or slutty firemen... or slutty [insert costume here]. I really wanted to carve a pumpkin this year, but since I'm living in a college town I'm too afraid it'd get smashed... I'm really positive that it would. I was going to do it anyway and leave the pumpkin in the window, but when Cj's parent's bought us one it was before they got trapped in their house by the massive wildfires ravaging Southern California. Fun stuff.

I love pumpkin carving. When I buy an actual house I'm gonna have a naturalistic halloween, with sweet corn and pumpkins and harvest-festival type stuff. And I'll dress up like a witch and stir a big cauldron full of cider. I'd love that.

Until then, I guess I'll just eat this crappy processed candy and THANK GOD that it's been raining all day. The drunk people are staying inside and not running around under my window screaming. Yay for rain! Happy Halloween, everybody.
