happy halloween [living]

i don't believe in frosting
i wasn't going to dress up this year but i put together something at the last minute. last night i went to a halloween store. there was a black cowboy hat. i don't know what it was, but the hat was calling me. i put it on and felt a bit like tim rollins (mr. black cowboy hat) and raymond watts, since he wears cowboy hats that have a pig sticker on it. i walked around the store with it on because i liked it so much. i had to get it. the costume took off from there. i have a suede kind of jacket, handcuffs, dinner napkin turned bandana, etc. so i decided to be a modern mythical figure of a 19th century outlaw. i also wore a festive necklace. this costume was subtle enough that people weren't sure if i was dressed up, but to those that got it, it was a hit. even the people at work who think i'm a weirdo freak (i don't know why) loved it. one person was so in disbelief that they really thought i was a western outlaw. it always seems that when i dress up on halloween, people believe i am the character i am dressed as. it's really quite strange. it's not like i'm dressing up on a "regular" day, this is fucking halloween! for example, in high school i once dressed as a gypsy for halloween. one girl in my class really believed i was a gypsy and was shocked to learn that i wasn't in real life. she was kinda like the dog i used to have, cute but....
i wanted to bring treats for people 'cos tricks are for kids. i had a basket full of candy that i was passing out and i made a cake for the office.

heliosphan as last minute trinity, twiddle thumbs as a winged devil, me as an idiot
i have a lot of work to do for my film project so i wasn't going to go out at all. i was just going to stay home and be good and work on my film. instead i had dinner with friends and we walked around "downtown" for awhile and hung out at a coffee shop. at least it was something i had never done before, walking around downtown for halloween that is.
