oh my god, i'm in stitches!

this was a good night.
the neighborhood where some of my SCA buddies live is PERFECT for the Shape, looks just like Haddonfield. i finally got to put my Samhain to use, and i kept my cellphone in my pocket to play my Halloween Theme ringtone whenever i approached a group. that was a great touch.
i had a great time stalking the few older trick-or-treaters we got. best group was two girls and a guess their boyfriends. the girls went up to the porch for the candy, the guys being too cool for such things. i crept up behind them, silent as the Shape itself, they turned around froze for a good three seconds. one girl made a run for it when i started toward her friend, who jumped over porch ledge(three feet high MAYBE, don't worry) when i came after her. :lol the BFF Abandoner was HOT too, tall, athletic judgin from her leg, dressed as a gothy witch with a split dress(i know there's a term for it but i dunno it). i then followed them for about three houses, until they turned down the next street.
one of my friends said my mask was "positively terrifying."
i just wish there'd been more teenagers; i don't chase the wee ones cuz i'd feel like an a***ole. one little girl, though, not scared at all. her dad said she lurves Michael, thinks he's, like, her bestest friend. so i signed her candy bag with a sharpie.
another, sort of a cross between a ninja and on angel. beat me(ie. barely touched) with her plastic knife and i fell over dead until her daddy told her to say "hocus pocus you're alive," then i sat straight up, turned my head towards her, and gave her some more candy. adorable.
it was great a few times being a "lawn decoration" and then turning suddenly when they were about a foot away.


that's good stuff! glad someone had a blast!

overall our Halloween was very subdued due to my daughters best friend losing her brother the day before. we put out basic decorations, handed out candy, and my youngest decided she didn't even want to go trick or treating since her sis was out comforting her friend...dang, i have 2 amazing kids.
