Pooky Night

When preparing a Halloween costume I feel two things are most important. The first order of business is to create a costume that will not cause people to ask you what you are. I suppose this is just a matter of opinion but what's the sense in being the "Hooker" from Grand Theft Auto San Adreas if everyone at the party is going to be asking what you're supposed to be? The second order of business is to choose a costume that will prevent people from trying to interact with you as whatever character you're dressed as. If you go as a Pirate you should be ready to deal with walk the plank jokes (where's your parrot?) and other bullshit, just like if you go as Captain Kirk you will be asked to beam up at least 15 times during the length of an average party. If you enjoy this type thing, have at it, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be hanging out at any Day of the Dead festivities. Even worse is the person who goes method, and wants to act like whoever they're dressed like. I've only known one person(Coranthus the Wizard) who could pull this off and he has full reign as far as I'm concerned. Everyone else should look into local theatre. Maybe my rules for Halloween speak more to my dislike for social situations and dealing with people? Dress up, have fun, and speak when spoken to. Cool?

Stye update:
I'm going to have to have this thing cut off! Chances are if you hit one of the Showcase shows the first week of November I will either have a nasty (nastier than just the stye) looking eye or a really sweet patch. Come check it out and see which one happens.
