I kind of wish I had something to do for Halloween this year. I love all things supernatural/paranormal, the creepier the better, so it feels like I should do something, but while I still look like a teenager and could probably get away with trick-or-treating if I wanted to, I'd feel too awkward doing it, and I don't have any in-person friends and therefore won't be invited to any parties. But on the other hand, I have been working on a costume just for fun, but I have to make it entirely from scratch, and I'm afraid it won't look nearly as good as I hope, and even if I did have a party to go to, I probably wouldn't be able to stay in character for it, which I'd really like to do - but I have horrible social anxiety, haven't been to a party in years, and the last one I went to (almost a decade after the one before that), I spent the entire time just standing awkwardly in a corner while everyone ignored me, including the person who invited me

Same here. I love the paranormal, mysteries and spookiness! And in theory, I love Halloween too. But where I live it's not really a thing, so I've never had a chance to celebrate it. But I guess I'll just entertain myself with some scary movies and popcorn
It's cool that you have been working on a costume! Even if you don't have a party to go to, you could try to make it just for the fun of it
And then maybe you could show us some pictures of how it turned out!

I've been making the costume just for fun, though - I actually started it months ago, and have been working on it off and on, and I haven't had anything to do for Halloween for about a decade straight now. I might post pictures if it actually ends up looking halfway decent (and if I actually get it finished anytime soon
). I'm hoping to talk my mom into going to a Halloween specialty store sometime this weekend so I can see if I can find anything to make the task any easier.

I go to special recreation programs and there were two Halloween parties scheduled this fall, hosted by other SRAs (special recreation associations). I didn't sign up for either one, but I'm wearing my pilot uniform to my programs on Monday October 30th.

for only $1.99. Yesterday I used red fabric paint to make it look like blood is dripping down its face, and white paint to make X's over the eye pupils to make it look like it just died a terrible yet comical death.Actually, it looks pretty macabre. But it's for Halloween, so it's supposed to be!
When I buy a pumpkin this year, I will give it a nice big evil grin with pointy teeth, then put the emoji plushie in its mouth to make it look like it's being devoured by the jack o lantern. And of course I'll have to take a picture. I wonder if the pumpkin will end up on the news or in the paper if I display it on my doorstep?
It would be nice if you could post your pic of the pumpkin chomping the plushie here on WP when you're done.
