8. Actually, the costume is that of a Renaissance Taverner...
So it's up to you to guess if I'm selling booze... or simply drinking it. :evilgrin:

Thx for the compliment, though. :blush: :D Now ask why I'm still single!

13. Two words: Asperger's Syndrome.
Human interaction was never my strong point, and my inability to do so ultimately ends any relationships I attempt to get into. I even asked the recent ex (1 of only 2 in my life) and I was told things that point squarely back to Asperger's Syndrome. I was glad for the honesty and said I did not mean to (or understand how I had) cause such hurt feelings.

And those I am most strongly attacted to (or vice-versa); I just can't strike a conversation or get utterly terrified when they approach me. (which is more or less typical, but I am learning... and hopefully not too late.)

Even at age 21, the one person I locked eyes with... I really had no conscious clue. I couldn't interface and converse. (I'm amazed to even get a job as the interview process is a chore that makes cleaning up "cow patties" infinitely more favorable by comparison.)

Still, nobody's perfect. :7

:( actually, but I prefer to smile...

16. I'm sorry Hypno. I sorta know how you feel.
I'm not an Aspie, but I am a social phobic. I've driven away guys who seemed interested in me, and in whom I was interested, with a look that must have communicated "If you speak to me, I WILL scream".

2. Angus Young for my gig, a construction worker for work.
All of the middle school teachers dressed as construction workers. We do a different theme every year.

11. A Pirate
The Bunny dressed up as the Grin Reaper (sic). We had a friend over to help pass out candy and she dressed up as Gandalf the Grey (although oddly she was wearing a shimmering blue robe).

A great time was had by all. Everyone loved our decorations (even the one's running away in fear). Rain came and forced us to break down the decorations a little earlier than we would have liked but, all in all it was a great night.

21. I wore what I would normally wear.
Black Ben Davis pants. A white button down shirt and a black tie. A green sweater to keep me warm. I don't dress up for halloween, yes, I am boring.

22. I dressed as a pathetic,
lonely, middle-aged,empty nester. I took on the appearance of a woman desperately missing her kids and grandkids, and not handling it well.
Mismatched pj's, chenille robe, and fuzzy slippers, glass of scotch, mascara streaks, and messy hair. I delayed each group of trick-or-treaters with tales of MY kids and MY grandkids. I invited them in. I am sure it was a good and scary costume. The kids and their parents seemed really creeped out.


(not really that bad...but would have been - if I did drink scotch) :nopity:

28. A gypsy. Didn't think ahead and dye my hair black for the occasion
(I am a medium blonde) but I have the curl thing goin' on, and someone actually asked me where I got my wig! Never having seen a blonde gypsy (sorry if that's stereotyping!) I laughed and said, if it were a wig, it WOULD be black...

next year I won't procrastinate
