As for me, my plans for Halloween are: Going down to New Orleans with my twin sister to stay with my girlfriend. Saturday we're all going to VooDoo Fest where we will all get very drunk while my girl and I are dressed as Moulder and Scully Sunday shall be a morning of recovery, then an afternoon trip home. Monday I'll make the short drive to Leesville to be there for the first time my godson really goes trick or treating.

So, how about y'all?

OMG a VooDoo Fest. I has a jealous face!!! I think that should be on my "list of fun things to do".

I love love love Samhain. My kids are all grown but I loved taking them trick o' treating. When they got older and told me I could no longer come I was ssssssooooo sad. Every year I would dress up. I loved handing out candy. Sometimes I would negotiate such as... you give me your black licorice I will give your three candy bars, it actually worked a couple of times. But I live in a walk up apartment now and I don't get the thrill of scaring the little ones <----- sad face.

But I rallied...

This year I am going as a Japanese Samurai woman named Toyoko. She has a chinese counterpart Li Chi ... so... I get to wear my boot knives, my throwing knives (Cause both characters slayed the snake/serpent with knives) a chain belt, and a TOTALLY comfortable costume. All white. I wish I knew more about Chinese and Japanese color symbolism. Is white their color for maidens as well? The only issue is that I would love to use black hair spray paint, but I dance like a mad woman and I am not willing to sacrifice my favortist white shirt for my costume.

Next....
