• Have I ever mentioned I love Halloween?

  Maybe it's the memories of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, setting up the decorations around the house. Maybe it's having an excuse to watch The Exorcist 20 more times. Maybe it's that simple aspect I like creeping myself out and anything scary.

  Who knows. In any case, I love the holiday. I'll admit, I was always slightly jealous my brother had his birthday during October because he could always have a Halloween party and, let's face it, Nov. 22nd is a little too far away for such things; then again, you can't really have a Thanksgiving party either, unless you want to basically lose all friends. Instead of having a social life, you kind of become the talk of the social life; and not in a good way. Now I wish I could have gone as a turkey for Halloween this year. Unfortunately, I don't have my usual costume because I forgot to bring it (it'd probably be too small anyway) and forgot to buy a new one when my mom visited (at some point, it just because tradition to be the character from Scream every year). So I donned the Cat In the Hat hat I nabbed from Homecoming that one year the theme was Dr. Suess (on that point, a construction cone with the CAUTION tape around it from the year the theme was construction is on my desk as I type). I am the Cat In the Hat this year. Yeah, it was cheap (free) and easy, so sue me.

  Unfortunately, I won't be going trick-or-treating this year (much too much reading to do). I won't be watching The Exorcist either (though I do have The Nightmare Before Christmas with me...procrastination, anyone? Thanks for the gift, Dods). But hey, it's fall, it's not raining for once (or snowing, for that matter), and I get more candy than I should, once again.

  I absolutely love this holiday.
