the biter bit, the bitter bite
Happy Halloween!
Have a poem by Neil Gaiman:
The tower's built of spit and spite,
Without a sound, without a sight.
The biter bit, the bitter bite.
(It's better to be out at night.)
This year I had not one but TWO Halloween costumes! You see, I was determined to dress up for work, and also I was invited to an Alice in Wonderland party because apparently I am popular like that. Ahahahaha. For the party I teamed up with two co-workers, and we went as Drink Me, Eat Me, and Bite Me.
Guess which one I was. XD
En route we discovered that that pretty much made us a band, since I was already wearing all black and eyeliner and had said "I hate everything" about five times already that day. (Liquid eyeliner: that stuff's no joke.) So: next time you need a band to sing about food, call ye on The Gastronomers of Wonderland.
Then today I again braved the perils of liquid eyeliner to be Eyelinered Professor McGonagall. I am so happy that this year it was cold enough to wear all the parts of my costume at the same time (unlike last year). I wore my Save Ginny t-shirt, plaid(-ish) skirt, green velvety dress-gone-horribly-wrong-but-redeemed-as-robe, and the black witch's robe that was first used as a Death Eater costume lo these many years gone (that also involved liquid eyeliner, come to think of it). I scraped my hair up and looked pretty McGonagall-ish if I do say so myself.
Occasionally I would say things like “ten points from Slytherin” just because.
♥ How are you all celebrating? ♥

Needless to say, everything sounds fabulous...

I brought Scrabble tiles in a bag.
Our friends who like the same Cafe, and are also a Big Homeschooling Family with Adult Children Who Still Hang Out showed up.
We played Speed Scrabble, and some pretended to study.
It was kind of more-nerdy-than-thou...but that wasn't our intent. XD It comes naturally.
