Not going anywhere

[rikibeth]

I want to be enthusiastic for going out dancing tonight. But, seriously, the trouble with being a Goth on Halloween is that your normal dancing clothes don't count as a Costume, and if you DO wear a Costume, you don't look very Goth. And just throwing the black graduation robe and the Gryffindor scarf over good clubwear seems like cheating.

And it chaps my hide that the Webster has bumped their parking charge to $10. Between that and door and drinks? And I haven't lined up anybody to go with?

Eh. Especially since I spent over seven hours on my feet today. And I have to work tomorrow.

I have time to change my mind, I guess. If anyone wants to go with, or if they can provide me with a good reason why I really ought to.

I think maybe if I go out I'll just wear the black ballgown and the hat, like in the userpic. Screw costume. Ballgowns are pretty, and the hat means I don't have to argue with my hair.

Or I could stay home and use a bath bomb.

Bath bombs don't cost any extra money. And they probably smell better than the club.

I'm being a humbug about Halloween this year too, which is extra tragic since it's my favorite holiday.

Have a happy Halloween, whatever you decide to do!

Whatever you end up doing, have a fun Halloween.

(We're giving candy out to kidlings, and then going to a low-key house party. But I pulled out my blood-spattered Victorian-ish outfit and had The Husband apply stage blood to my face.)

Oh, go dancing. Gothercize!!

Which immediately makes me think, costume-wise (too late, naturally), of one of Death's quick on-and-off appearances in Sandman when she's in a leotard and pink leg warmers.

Hee! You just reminded me of an interaction I had with one of my coworkers on Friday. I decided not to dress up, but wore my Nightmare Vermont t-shirt and some gothy make-up (including black lipstick). She complimented me by saying "nice costume". :)

I felt the same way for Halloween this year. I didn't decorate, because who would be able to tell the difference? I have spiders and coffins and skeletons out all year long.

But I went to a party, even though I was hesitant about it, since I was going by myself and it was an hour into Jersey, but I went, and had a good time. Hope your holiday turned out good as well. *hugs*
