Sinner

I never _did_ Halloween growing up. Oh wait, take that back, I do recall one year being afraid of the dark and walking down the road dressed up like a kitten. Consequently I tripped over my long fuzzy tail, tore my tights and skinned my knee. (That gives me an idea for next years costume...road kill)

I didn't participate in Halloween again after that, because soon after my dad realized that if children dress up on Oct. 31st they are inevitibly going to grow up and become Satanists.

Maybe dressing up like a black kitten did ruin me, because this year I'm going all out. I'm going to the mecca of Haunted Houses dressed like a peacock. I could be like the rest of the girls and make it a slutty costume, but I'm keepin' it classy Florida ;).

My boyfriend and his brothers have gone to just about every Halloween Horror Night since they moved down here. I, on the other hand have never been to a single one. Not one, even though I grew up less than an hour from Universal.

(I know, I know, the male is the pretty peacock. I guess Im going as a peacock in drag or something.)

Can't quite figure out how to get more "plume-y" and less like wings...

The kids won't be doing anything scary for Halloween. I don't like the whole, witch, devil stuff, so they will be going to trunk or treat at one of the churches. Maddie wants to be Strawberry Shortcake, Buddy wants to be Spiderman and I'm not sure what to dress Chunk up as yet.

What are you doing this month? Are you dressing up?
