Halloween 2007
 
What do you think of Halloween? Here in Oz we don't really celibrate it but I want to hear what people have to say anyway.

Sucks. Random people coming to your door begging for sweets, money, food etc.
Just dont like it. :/

Havoc 10-31-2007 03:35 AM

I thought Halloween was over already?

~^_^~ 10-31-2007 03:46 AM

Mac Sirloin 10-31-2007 03:54 AM

I love it, little children dressing up as animals, their parents showing them where to go, what to say.

I miss being little :(

Halloweaners

I don't want to know about your weaner.

Aaaand on another note: I did the Halloween thing when I was in the US. I dressed as a creepy nun. Well, actually I dressed as a nun and the creepy thing happened by itself. Trick or treating is suprisingly fun, even when I really don't eat junk food. That said, I did have to pretend to be a high-school kid rather than the 23 year old I really was. :D

Householder: "Oh, so you go to SLO-High, do you?"
Me: "Oh, yes"
HH: "You must be an exchange student then, with that accent"
Me: "Ummm... yes?"
HH: "Do you know Svetlanka?"
Me (sensing a trick): "Ummm..."
HH: "You must do, she's the only other exchange student in SLO-High. She'd be in the same year as you too..."
Me: "Oh, my friends have gone on to the next house. Gotta go!"

I don't mind Halloween but I can't really go out and ask for candy anymore as I live in Denmark where it is not really celebrated but they might start in about 1 or 2 years. Maybe more. But for now I know an english guy who knows about Halloween so we are just going to have a pary. But it's nothing compared to real trick or treating.:fuzsad:

Jordan 10-31-2007 05:45 AM

I used to love it. Every year I'd go around trick or treating. I'm bored of getting 6 month old sweets and old bags of crisps. So I'm gonna stay in tonight. All that'll be on TV is halloween specials and crap. Wahee.

Havoc 10-31-2007 06:01 AM

I swear to god if kids come to my door today... there will be dead children hanging on my door.

Wil 10-31-2007 06:51 AM

Curses, I forgot to stock up on soya yoghurt. It’s the only stuff I would give Trick‐or‐treaters (something I’ve never been myself). Or maybe I can offer my last Brazil nuts if it doesn’t yet breach health and safety regulations. I doubt we’ll get anyone knocking on our door in this studenty area, anyway.

I forgot to get a pumpkin. Just call me misery guts. At least they’ll be cheap soon enough, and I can make me some gorgeous soup. :)

AlienMagi 10-31-2007 07:03 AM

Never cared about...

Bullet Magnet 10-31-2007 07:25 AM

I don't recognise Hallowe'en, All Hallows' Eve or any other variation. I appreciat ethe custom, but have not been involved in any way since I was... five, in which my house played host to a fancy-dress party with friends (the first time I was introduced to the concept).

Beyond that, nothing accept activities at primary school. Too early I recognised the tackiness of its commercialisation and I went off the whole thing.

Actually, I like to carve pumpkins. I like the "art", the mess and the taste, but I've not done so in some time.

Hobo 10-31-2007 08:40 AM

I detest it

abe is now! 10-31-2007 08:53 AM

I love it. I think it's the feast where everybody can do (almost) what they want: I get candy, I can play tricks, I can go to the city (mine is very small) and control it with my friends and...... petards :D!!!!!!!!

Zozo the Zrilufet 10-31-2007 08:58 AM

Yay I have Halloween today and shall go with a friend, even though I am 15. I shall be a gothicky person.

Fuzzle King 10-31-2007 09:05 AM

Just wanted to quote that for everyone's enjoyment

Bullet Magnet 10-31-2007 11:03 AM

Okay, some were just at the door. Now, it may surprise you to learn that I have never been trick-or-treated in my life. I also have nothing to give them, I haven't eaten today myself.

This was the first time I have been genuinely afraid in a long time. That it is Halowe'en had completely slipped my find. I heard a scrabbling at the door, and no one else in the house responded (I don't know where they are, actually). I peaked around the corner and saw staring back at me from the darkness, a Little Sister. No kidding.

I completely freaked. Bloody hell, they're spooky.

Hobo 10-31-2007 11:14 AM

I'm offering cup a soup to anyone who trick or treats me.

I love being a bastard

AlienMagi 10-31-2007 11:26 AM

You damn bastard!!!

Hobo 10-31-2007 11:41 AM

That is not funny, and it's spam.

Hobo 10-31-2007 12:26 PM

Unfortunatly I am yet to see anyone dressed up or anything.

I have been in my room for the last lots of hours though.

Laser 10-31-2007 12:50 PM

I know a friend of mine who will be spraying ice cold water at any little kiddies that happen to trick or treat him :D

O.K., who are you, and what have you done with the intelligent BM I remember?

No one knocked on our door after all, but I saw a few students in fancy dress on my way to a dance class (that I never did find). My house mate bought some sweets from the local, but since no one came knocking for them, they’re ours.

Now Halloween is over for this time zone, and I can concentrate on celebrating World Vegan Day.

At least I didn't pretend I was heaps cool and go yeah, I'm awsome, lets go tagging, like certain loosers in my school.

As in throwing eggs and penises at your house?

AlienMagi 11-01-2007 04:45 AM

I think he meant penis and balls not eggs...
