So I had fun. I went to a close friend's house to hang out. I had NO idea what the wear, seeing as most of the cool stuff is packed away (because I'm moving to Canada soon), but I managed. I dressed like a Goth, and pulled it off rather well with what I had at hand, all things considered. I got good compliments, anyway.

For some reason, no one in my circle enjoys handing out candy to trick-or-treaters except for me! So yes, I was on door duty and loving it. I sat in the front living room, watched the Ghost Hunters marathon and chatted on MSN with a few close friends and really, really enjoyed myself.

I also go to mess with Zak. He's the host's stepkid and, well...let's just say Zak is very special in a "I want to [insert nasty thing here] so badly!!" kind of way. This past summer, after accusing someone of dropping him on his head (there were four witnesses/adults there who said otherwise), I decided to scare the bloody wits out of him by telling him horror stories about raccoons going after kids his size.

He's a city kid, he didn't know any better. It was epic.

Anyway! Zak decided to tell one of the little girls that his house was haunted. He's a renowned liar and has been caught many, many times. Luckily, I happened to be close when he said this, so the little girl turns to me with a scared look and says, "Is the house really haunted?!"

She's a damn cute girl and I didn't know her very well, but I know Zak's an obnoxious brat, so I say, "Naaah, it's not haunted, don't listen to him.

Zak went all, "AW, C'MON!" on me, so I turned to him and said, "You need to calm down and be nice to girls." (I usually wouldn't differentiate that way, but most of the little kids there were little girls, so I didn't want them to have issues being scared, so, well...I went there.)

"But you're a girl!" he points out.

"Yes, so you have to be nice to me. But I'm allowed to be mean to you," I replied. Then I turned on my heel, back to the living room, letting my evil laugh resonate behind me.

Another memorable moment of the evening was when this little girl showed up at the door. She was VERY cute and wearing a very girly, gold-colored princess costume. "Guess what I am!" she exclaimed to me.

"Uuuuuh...a princess!" I answered, grinning down at her.

"I'm a vampire princess," she answered excitedly. Then, her expression changed to one of amazingly well-performed sadness. "But I can't find my teeth," she confessed solemnly. Her dad, standing behind her, looked just as shocked as I was. It was adorable.

I was also given a leaf by a little boy. It wasn't a very good leaf, he must have picked it up in the driveway. But after I gave him some candy, he beamed up at me and said, "This is for you!" and handed the leaf to me.

He was way too cute for me to turn down, so I let him see me carefully place the leaf next to the candy tub.

So yes. I had an awesome time, giving out candy. I also got compliments and cheers for having dressed up just to hand it out, too. And of course, the top hat got many, many remarks!

Time has changed while I finished this entry. It should be 2 AM, but it's 1 AM again. I will go sleep soonish. I had a grand time and I'm thrilled I'm the only one who enjoys door duty at Halloween around here. I really had a good time.

So Happy Halloween, even though it's November 1st! And goodnight.
