"Halloween is the holiday that brings people together." -Jeffey
Ah yes, a day spent doing nothing but touching up the last areas of my uber-cool Blue Link costume, being called by friends who were not aware of my house's location, despite their having been here upon many an occasion (barring Catherine, of course), singing Christmas shanties, watching Comic Party (and therein admiring Taishi's ultimate coolness), reading yaoi pr0n, and eating candy before my father could get at it.

Said parent spent three and a half hours outside, hiding behind our bushes, jumping out at small children. He made one of them cry.
He is very proud of this fact.

My dad loves Halloween. xD *sweat sweat*

My seven friends, Moni's little brother, and I were received with many an exclamation of, "Where on earth did all of you come from?"
Typically, such questions were replied to with a simple, "From Hyrule," or, "The Moon," or, in Jeffey's case, "Over that way. I don't really know them. They just followed me home one day."

We covered a decently sized area of the neighborhood, collected our fair share of candy (though I could have stood to have infinate amounts more^^), and, overall, failed to see Shirtless Guy in his entirety, as he simply wasn't there.

You cannot possibly understand the horror and devestation that accompanies such revelations, or how we could have, briefly, considered committing ritual self-disembowlment on what must have been his Mom's lawn.

One guy refused to give us candy unless we sung for him. We sung "Deck the Halls" and were justly rewarded with generic, penut-filled chocolates.

Several people gave us "more-fun-than-fun-size"-d (as Sammie-chan put it) chocolate, which is always a nice touch to the ol' sack o'treats.

Nobody asked who we were, either, which was half a relief, half disapointing, as we would have had every just reason for ripping out their innards if they had.
Nobody asked who Jeffey, dressed ever-so-smartly as Shirt Guy Dom was, most likely because he had a name tag that said, "DOM." That or because he was carrying an M-16 Assault Rifle. (Truth be told, that gun really made the rounds. Every one got a chance to "shoot" passersby with it.^_~)

I, of course, as I have stated above, was Blue Link, Christie was Purple, Moni was Green, and Sammie-chan? But red, of course.

Catherine was a kitty, Justin was a murderous psychopath without a face, Stephan was DEATH, Alanna was a half-Japanese Pixie who had just been prepared for sacrificing to the Devil, and Jeffey got a whole paragraph to himself just now, so I don't see any readily available cause for giving him another.

My pumpkin was Leo, as in VG Cats' Leo. I got many a compliment on it.^^ I wish my mom had bought film or that my friend had brought her digital camera, because I would have loved to post a picture of that pumpkin up here for all to see.

Alas.

Before all this, of course, we watched an episode of Comic Party, a series I paid $58.00 for two volumes of, along with a collector's limited edition box and slip-cover, which gives the impression of being a bent-out-of-shape piece of celluloid. Very cool.

The second volume was free. : )

I know that this part ought to have gone somewhere near the top, but I thought I'd shed some light on a funny event that occured.

My mom: Uhh, there's a guy here in a suit and tie. Is he your friend?
Me: Does he have a nametag?
Jeffey: Hello!
My mom: What are you, an adult?
Jeffey: An adult going postal. And this guy. *pulls out a pipe-cleaner SGD*

: P

At the Hairy T, there was a man dressed as a woman. It was convincing, too, until you noticed how unbelievably tall she was, and how uneven her boobs were. His. Whatever. : /

I didn't know any women worked at the Hairy T, but the [real] one there was very cool and she and I had a nice discussion about various anime/manga/both titles.

I did not buy the PA Box-set, despite its being there, possibly because the evil resinating from the Maromi plushie when I picked it up was too overwhelming for me to handle.
But that can't be possible, because no evil is too overwhelming for me to handle, so I'm guessing it was because of the price-tag and the fact that it only came with one DVD. I shall get the full box-set when it comes out, and save some cash. u.u

I totally bet they would have given us major discounts if we'd shown up in costume.

Ah well, next year.

(We're going as gone-postal Christmas Elves.)

"Santa had to go away for a while."

"Hey, what did you do with Santa?"

"Me? What did I do? Dude, hiding the body was totally your job."
