Hallowe'en

What's the deal with Hallowe'en? Some people are so into it. I mean, I kind of get New Year's and Valentine's Day (my two most hated days of the year), but this whole dressing up thing? A coworker said, "It's the one day of the year when women can legitimately dress up like skanks" and then he encouraged me to do so. I said, "Yeah, that's definitely the way to win friends and influence people".
I am, however, looking forward to seeing N and the gang at her place on Sunday. She says we can drink wine and play with knives. We're carving pumpkins, you see. Given that I have absolutely no artistic ability I need to figure out what the pumpkin carved equivalent of a stick man is, and then I will do that. Maybe I will just carve a stick man. It would be funny. To me.
Well, I am off for dinner with Big D. Maybe I'll not wear panties and tell everyone I'm Paris Hilton. I guess it's not quite as titillating given that I'm wearing jeans.
