Goulishly Gourdeous

Happy (almost) Halloween! I love this time of the year, it reminds me of trick-or-treating with my brother and sister until my freshman year of college! Breathe in the crisp fall air, take in the view of the bright red, orange, and yellow leaves. It's a beautiful time of the year and a fun night to dress up and pretend to be someone else for a few hours. Of course, my costumes were never that amazing (although one year I was mistaken for that girl from Titanic, which I went with for the rest of the night), but what kid - or teenager - can pass up free candy? Ah, there's nothing like it for those who are addicted to sugar and caffeine.
Why is it so much fun to dress up as someone or something else? I think a lot of insecure people love Halloween because they finally get the chance to hide behind a mask or tons of makeup. Or maybe it's just a break in mundane, everyday life; it's fun to play a different role, if only for a few hours. Anyhow, I'm excited about dressing up tonight, I'll be wearing a ton of makeup (more than any girl would wear on a normal day) which would only happen on or around Halloween! I hope everyone has a frighteningly fun time on Monday night, it should be spooktacular! (And yes, I'm beginning to be obsessed with Halloween almost as much as Allison's mom!)
Hauntingly yours,
Anna
