I’m All About All Hallow’s Eve
The bewitching time is nearly upon us, and yours truly couldn’t be more excited. I love Halloween.
I’ve loved Halloween for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, it was my favorite holiday. It blew Christmas away. It wasn’t about the candy, though–it was about pulling on that terrifying/awe-inspiring/bad-ass costume and becoming something incredible for a night. We transformed into fantastic characters and flocked through the neighborhood, scaring friends, comparing loot, plotting pranks. It was chaotic and exciting and liberating.
Heavy-handed Halloweens are a tradition in my family, so my sister and I discuss little else this time of year.
Josh: it’s so weird seeing you on facebook
Katie: y?
Josh: it’s like you’re a real person!
Katie: :( and i was tryin so hard to be a vampire
Josh: ya win some, ya lose some.
Josh: you can still be a zombie with me :)
Katie: zombies are weird lookin
Josh: but it’s so easy! all you have to do is this
Josh: om nom nom
Josh: brains are healthy and good for your skin!
Katie: you get ur head blown off
Josh: tssh, yeah, if you suck
Katie: all the more reason for me to be vampy :)
Katie: i really want french toast now…
I love Halloween. I rarely redesign this website, but when Halloween is the name of the game, I’ll do anything. In fact, one of the party themes we’re considering for our annual bash is reverse Pimps and Hos–the ladies get the floppy hats and pimp canes* while we menfold shake it like a salt shaka. jeffmorin would have me do anything else, but he admits to a similar disregard for boundaries when it comes to the horror-filled holiday.
The excitement hits me on all fronts. Example: I’ve had “Werewolves of London” stuck in my head for days.
I saw a werewolf
drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s
His hair was perfect
That was my status message last week. Jeremy’s reply: “If I were a werewolf, I’d make sure I had perfect hair. Werewolves with imperfect hair must drink moonshine.” To cover our bases, we’ll probably serve both at the party.
I love Halloween.
*Autotune the News 5 reference. It’s magnificent.

I’ve caved to Jeff’s peer pressure. Provided Mr. Morin promises to come, and in full zombie pimp regalia, then we can keep the gender bending to a purely personal preference basis. Zombie pimps and hos kids. Tell your friends. Hallowe’en is a Saturday night, i.e. PERFECT!
Guess that schoolgirl skirt I had set aside for Josh will just have to go on my fine ass instead. (If that doesn’t get people to reserve that night for the Hills…well, we’ll have beer and order pizza or something. That should be about all the prompting this group of alcoholic reprobates needs.)

Alas my dear, I can’t even guarantee that I’ll be there for poker next week, let alone something a month away. I AM happy that you’ve changed your mind on the theme for the Halloween Party though. I’m pretty excited for the invitation design that Josh will certainly be whipping up.
At this time, I’d also like to make a motion for Josh to remove that animated GIF from the front page of Khaotica. While it might have seemed like a good idea at 3am, in the light of day it kind of makes me want to stab a ballpoint pen through my monitor.
Digging the Halloween theme though, including the updated header text for the sidebar…devil is in the details, right?
Reply to this commentVeto the gif removal! It’s pretty much Joshua to a T. He could just delete this entire blog and leave that up and folks would know all they need to know about him.
@ Jeff – All I’m sayin is: you make up your mind and you’ll be here. I’m not sayin there won’t be consequences :D I hope we’ll see you, for poker and Halloween both. More than that, I hope you’re getting ‘er done.

I’m pretty sure blogs aren’t supposed to embody your actual physical properties and mannerisms. If that were the case, my RSS reader would be shortened by an order of magnitude.
All I’m saying is that it’s a very good chance that random visitors who drop by won’t even take the time to read this enjoyable little post because the guardian at the gate is irritating enough to deter all but the most dedicated Khaotica readers. Just food for thought.
Reply to this commentHooray–notifications work again!
Thanks for bearing with me, guys.
Reply to this commentI totally don’t remember saying I wanted french toast… but now that I think about it, I kinda do. And I have a picture of you the one year that you didn’t want to do Halloween that year. Mr. Grumpy Gills.
But this is one of those things where we actually agree on something. I lovvvvveee Halloween more than pretty much all other holidays. Christmas ties with it but mainly because we get to see everyone and celebrate and all that happy stuff. But Halloween is the only time where you don’t have to be “fit with society” or whatever you want to call our normal lives. You can be whoever you want however way you want it! It’s scary how we agree on something though –must be Halloween. :)
Who are you this year anyway?? Haha, if you need help thinking of something let me know! Remember I did give you the idea for phantom that one year! ;) <3 u!
