^the above "definition" that i have created is what seems to be the chosen definition for the teen/young adult media-focused-upon age group. (<---i don't know how to word that, but you get it, right?)
well, its WRONG. at least, in my opinion, tho others may disagree.
2. Halloween: is a time to...
A. gallivant(sober or not)
B. dress in costume that does one of four things:
1. is so out of character, it is like the opposite of your own personality.
2. so perfectly describes your personality, it's uncanny.
3. is a more exaggerated version of yourself.
4. something you secretly wish you were, but you only feel comfortable displaying it now.
C. enjoy time with friends
D. make memories
E. all of the above.
***DING DING DING***
I choose E. all of the above.
tho some may choose the silent F. none of the above. And, that's cool. enjoy.
I'm just stating my opinion of what Halloween is to me, and what i think it should be. This is of course, only on a surfacy level because I don't go much deeper on the subject.
So, yeah, that's my opinion, and now, allow me to narrow the focus in a bit to letter B. of "definition" 2. Costumes!!! Yes, that's right, I said costumes, and it's only July.
So, as i was saying, costumes.
I'm already thinking about costumes for October of 2014 and it's only July.
Reason being = boyfriend. lol
That's not the only reason but it is definitely one of them.
I actually always start thinking this far ahead for my costume. Usually it is because it takes a lot of planning, sewing, and possibly hair growing to achieve the end result on/around the 31st of October. Only sometimes is it because i can't make up my mind and need 3 months to decide. So on top of the normal time and energy needed to put towards the costume, this year I have a second party to think about. Mind you, this is not because I think i am supposed to do a couples costume when I am a part of a couple. It is because I like the idea and he said yes :) I believed he used the word "honored" so that was nice <3
Ok then, so far, things that must be considered when prepping for a Halloween costume that I truly enjoy and truly care about, are...
1. time needed for sewing
2. time needed for hair growth (if necessary)
3. time needed to save money for possible purchases related to undecided costume
4. SECOND HUMAN(and their needs and wants)
That's only a small portion.
The rest comes with the costume ideas list. this list is very important if you truly are in the spirit of Halloween according to Katie. Usually this list would reflect only my thoughts and wants, but now it must reflect that of two people, AND especially, in the end, both of them together. This is harder than it seems.
This list of costume couplings must have the following attributes(on my end, as I can't read his mind):
1. must be something i've never been before.
2. must be something I am rather aware of and even greatly enjoy.
3. must be something that is a good stretch away from how I act or look or it doesn't feel costume-y.
4. preferably creative and rather original or so well known, it can be recognized by many
5. preferably extra cute, extra badass, extra scary, or somehow, all of the above :)
6. preferably something that can be worn to a comic-con in the future ;) recyclable
now all that has been addressed, allow me to point out how completely unnecessary all of these thoughts are in July and at 2:40 in the morning.
But i digress.
Anyhoo.
with that, I...we... probably I, as he probably agrees that this is unnecessary but is letting me be my tightly wound self and plan and write all this is out as i impatiently wait for October( I also like the cider and sweaters and shit), here is a tentative list of ideas. Possibly more to come, while more shall be removed, because at some point, we can only have one. comma comma comma. seems I like commas.
DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAA!!!!
ps: these are definitely more of a me list because much excite.
1. harley quinn and deadpool
because trolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. ryuk and rem from deathnote
because GODS OF DEATH.
3. sylveon and umbreon
because pokemon.
4. antman and wasp
5. sailor moon and tuxedo mask
6. megan man and roll
7. judy jetson and apollo blue
and there are more.
lol we like options, BUT there is still a lot to consider as it has to be approved by both parties. as i said, tougher than i thought. of course, it's only july. :)
