What are you doing for Halloween?

adventurefan · 10-31-2005, 07:38 AM

Once I've got some of this work done, I'm going to settle down for the night and watch Shaun of the Dead!

If thecanteen have toffee apples tonight, that would be even better.

RLacey · 10-31-2005, 07:44 AM

Reading for my next essay, sadly

. Exciting, huh?

RIDance · 10-31-2005, 07:53 AM

Shaun of the Dead is a hilarious movie!! My favorite part is where they're throwing records at the zombie and making sure they don't throw the good ones at it. hahah, that's great.

Well, we have this big halloween fair at our church where kids can play games and win candy-- It's a positive way for them to spend their evening so they dont go causing trouble, pumpkin smashing and blah blah blah...

I have to be the big bad wolf at the three little pigs station.... so stoked... really...

I was planning on locking myself in the house, turn off all the lights, play F.E.A.R with Headphones and ignore the door any time some annoying "Trick or Treat" person knocks.

Putting on my shaun of the dead costume and going to my dorm's halloween party...that's about it...

I require a photo.

Nothing special, going to have a cup of coffee with a highschool friend and then maybe watch Basket Case. But I'll probably go to bed early, I'm beat.

Jeysie · 10-31-2005, 08:46 AM

Not doing much of anything so far, although I'm thinking if I can get enough work done today I might take some free time to finally watch my Evil Dead DVDs.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Lucien21 · 10-31-2005, 08:49 AM

Do you do Apple dunking in the US or is that a UK thing.

I.s big barrel of water, drop in a load of apples, hands behind back and have to pick out apples with your teeth.

---Not as easy as it looks.

Jeysie · 10-31-2005, 09:00 AM

Yeah, Lucien, we do that, although we usually call it Bobbing For Apples. Been a long time since I tried it, though.

Peace & Luv, Liz

RIDance · 10-31-2005, 09:07 AM

Bobbing for apples is a great way to get sick.

What does bobbing for apples have to with Halloween? I thought that was a carnival-type game.

And doesn't anyone carve pumpkins anymore? That's what I'm doing. I used to love halloween as a kid, so I suppose I feel some responsibility to give back to kids today.

I had to make one out of cardboard.

I'll see what I can do about pictures. I'm usually the one taking them.

Hmm. I have some apples, but token apple bobbing on your own is a little... pathetic

Aw! Come to the party with me! It's fun. All the nerds dress up like anime characters.

squarejawhero · 10-31-2005, 12:01 PM

If I could be in New York in an hour, I'd be there.

Instead, I've opened up the only beer in the fridge and sit here remembering Saturday night, possibly one of the best parties I've been to evah.

Except for asking that girl out who said yes and not getting her details. That put a bit of a dampner on things.

Me.

Nightmare. Still, at least you've got a beer to console yourself with. All I've got in my fridge in some mouldy bolognese and a frozen pizza

Fortunately through the wonders of the world, I know who she is now. So it aint that bad, but still - d'oh.
