I love Halloween... it's in the fall, my ultimate favorite time of the year (next to snowy winter days), it's NOT Christian (try as they might to thief it), and I get to dress up.

I used to think I liked Halloween for the same reason so many other people like it - an excuse to parade around as something you're not. I was wrong, though. The reason I like Halloween is because it's the one time of year I get to be who I am. I should really stop waiting for this one opportunity a year and just be me all the time, but I would really like to graduate and get a job I know I'll (a) be good at and (b) enjoy.

And, quite frankly, it's a struggle to be myself and achieve that. Because, while I think it's a crappy attitude, I don't want a tattoo or an eyebrow ring to keep me from getting the job that I want.

Just wait until I have tenure. Or move to Sweden.

So, until then, I shall take advantage of tomorrow and dress as myself for Halloween. I'll be going to class in this:


It's the same thing I wore to the SG Charlotte party. Yeah, it's a bit slutty for geography. And, yeah, it'll look silly (read:hot) going across campus. And (this is the part I'm kinda looking forward to) I'm gonna get some funny looks. (and possibly some better grades )

And if anyone asks who I'm supposed to be, I'll tell them: "Me, motherfucker. Step off." (Cuz who's gonna fuck with somebody wearing boots like those?)

Word.
