Since freshman year of college, its been a rule that everyone must get dressed up for Halloween. As an avid avoider of haunted houses, drunken orgies at Castro Street and horror movies (think Sixth Sense and scarier), I've never enjoyed the hoopla surrounding Halloween, preferring instead to focus on the less popular holidays like Canadian Boxing Day (thanks, R.) and National Beheading Day (thanks, Google.com). And so, rather than looking forward to Halloween as a welcome distraction from a normal day marked only by writing my rent check, I instead watch October creep along to its final conclusion with increasing dread. I have toyed with the idea of a non-Halloween costume in the form of normal work clothes, but this seems to be a step in the stuffy, prude direction. Gah!
That being said, I need a Halloween costume to wear to work. Suggestions?
