Halloween: Real Life's Tale

Life could very well resemble a horror movie. I have no intentions of playing the long-haired, attic-zombie-girl, but I certainly fit into a helpless character like Casey Becker. There are multiple Ghostface killers around to dampen my spirits. 

I love Halloween. There, it's official now. The critique paparazzi can have their moments now. I have the same wish as Carly Beth's, for everyday to be Halloween so I can hide behind a mask. Otherwise, usually everybody else is creeping me out. 

I thought when college got over that the worst is behind me now. Little did I know that with what real life had to offer the peer pressure, bullying, and stereotypical insanity was easier to handle. *insert sarcastic grin here*

My ride's dashboard got a spooky makeover as well, featuring Mr. Stab, some pumpkins and cauldrons from the Harry Potter Theme Birthday, a cobweb net, and a masquerade mask. I love masquerade masks! P.S. I have to think of a name for my ride. I am thinking along the lines of Nazgul, Hawk, and Grimm. Yes, all the dark stuff.

Dark stuff reminds me of a conversation I overheard between a little boy and his grandpa at Party City while they were picking out a Halloween costume. 

"But I am on the dark side."
Grandpa at Party City (taking a costume-play sword from the Little Boy's hands): "No, not this, we've got to find something good."
Little Boy (annoyed): "But this IS good!"
Grandpa: "No, this is more on the dark side. We need to get something on the good side."
Little Boy: "But I am on the dark side."
Grandpa (bewildered): "No, you're not! You don't even know the dark side."
Little Boy: "But I know the dark side!"
Grandpa (frustrated): "What is the dark side?"
Little Boy (pouting): "The one with the sword!"

I didn't do a costume. I already did a Shadowhunter cosplay for The Mortal Instruments City of Bones movie show, so instead I went with a classic Jack Skellington tea I picked up at Walmart for $8.89. The rubber imagery at the front glows in the dark! The sleeves are a perfect bonus! I love alternate print sleeves. I also picked up a nightie that goes with the spooks season. It is black with words in different colors. There is Candy Corn, trick or treat, pumpkin pie, black cat, and so many more.
