money on stupidity
I think Halloween is stupid. Not so much for the kids, but definitely for the adults. But Mister Ant has been trying to get me to meet some friends of his, and with our schedules being what they are, I will be coming with him to a Halloween party to meet these friends. Well, of course, it’s a costume party. So of course I need a costume. I’m not into the gory/undead/devilish stuff - it’s one of my biggest objections to Halloween. I’m also not into spending money on stuff I think is stupid, like Halloween. But there I was this past weekend, shopping for a costume. I am going to cross-cross-dress in drag. I will be FABulous. I got the idea from a pair of outrageous false eyelashes. After picking up the falsies, a boa, and a wig, I was good to go, since I already have a glittery and slinky number that will fit just right. Total damage? Thirty dollars. Considering that I saw mere wigs for more than that, I guess I did okay. But believe me, I’d rather not have spent the money. If I’d thought harder about it, I would have just figured something out with stuff I already own. But the peer pressure from Mister Ant was ridiculous. He wouldn’t let me get off that easy. *Sigh.* The things we do to get along…
I thought I was the only one! I’ve never really gotten the appeal of Halloween–I hate spending money on the holiday.

Thank you! I really have zero fondness for Halloween as well. Never mind the fact that I don’t like getting scared, I can’t stand the waste of money on candy that’ll get thrown away or costumes that’ll never see light of day again.

I agree I don’t see the point of Halloween. Maybe you could post a picture of you in costume.
