Sailor Soldier of Love and Justice

Someone kicked my pumpkin last night!

People in virginia are savages. Not only do they not celebrate halloween, but they destroy my halloween decorations. It's like all must be as unhappy as they are in life! :(

At least my coworkers have appreciated my halloween efforts. I brought my pumpkin seed brittle in and they have all loved it.

Let's see. So the day before halloween we carved our pumpkin at work. I was unimpressed by it but the others were happy so that's good. It wasn't much of a challenge for me though.

When I got home I got to play with SCIENCE! by baking window cookies. I needed to experiment in order to find the correct baking time to ensure tasty cookies and clear candy windows. the correct formula was the full baking time minus 3 minutes for the cookies alone, and then add the crushed candy for the final 3 minutes. Yay science!

Halloween day, I wore my grim reaper costume. I think I looked fantastic. However, while on my way to work, I thought I had the wrong day. I didn't see anyone else with a costume! People are so boring. I got lots of compliments on my costume though.

Despite looking great, I only got 2nd place in the costume contest. (And we only got honorable mention in the pumpkin carving contest, but that was to be expected.) Marge Simpson won, which I guess makes sense because people will be more inclined to vote for the funny and familiar over um, death. I'm going to enter the costume in a few online contests, so maybe I'll win something there. (Which reminds me, I need to upload those pictures so I can enter before the deadline.)

( A cut was needed )

I took my car in for a tune up thingie and learned why saturn wanted me to get it done with them. It's FREE! At least, it's free the first time. So that was cool. The guy asked me if it was my first oil change for the car and I said yes, so he told me it was free and he'd let me know when he was done. It even came with a car wash. Yay!

Now I just need to find a place to get it inspected. I looked at the gas stations I passed on the way home, but the lines on them were soooooo long. I guess cause it's the last weekend of the month. So if I get mine done early next month the lines should be a lot shorter.

Anyway, I feel accomplished. I think I'll carve my pumpkin tonight with my mighty might dremel. I'm going to try to carve this! It shall be a good challenge!

Today, I carve my pumpkin. Pictures shall be posted when done.

Oh, and why didn't anyone tell me about daylight savings? *feels dumb* Ben got to work an hour early this morning....

I am doing nothing this halloween. It's terribly horribly upsetting.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. It combines all of my favorite things into one glorious holiday.

I'm going to waste it just sitting home, handing out candy.

I hate growing up.

Tonight though, I'm going to buy a pumpkin and carve it. I have the pattern set up and everything. It will be fantastically piratical. I'll have to take pictures of it when I finish.

( Last year I made these. )
