Man... I can't believe Halloween is in two days. I already carved several pumpkins over the last couple of weeks so I can roast all the seeds, and I've got a ton of candy on the dining room table just waiting to give out! I've also got my costume ready, as always, I'm going as a mutant scientist. That costume has stuck with me quite a bit over the last two years so I think I'm going to just keep it at that.

Halloween is my favorite time of the year, mainly because it's a part of my Irish heritage of honoring those who passed on. Yeah, dressing up in costumes and trick or treating is fun, but I still hold on to its pagan traditions pretty closely because some people have completely forgotten what Samhain(that's the original name) is all about. Honoring those we love who are no longer with us, as well as end of summer and the coming of winter by harvesting the crops.

I'm also going to put trick or treating on the shelf for good. I'm 18, so it's time for me to take the younger kids out to have fun, while I go and buy my own candy. xP Anyways, there's a Halloween parade in town tomorrow, and there's a party that a friend's family is holding, so I'm not entirely lost on what to do this Halloween. ^..^
