Happy Halloween, y'all! I personally hold no deep love for this holiday, but I'm aware a lot of my friends do. The thing is, I don't really like cheap candy that much and never particularly enjoyed eating a rushed dinner to go traipsing about in the cold only to get candy I wouldn't really eat and then going to school where everyone would brag that they got more candy than I did. I mean, don't get me wrong, the traipsing was fun, but not fun enough to really make it all worthwhile. I do miss, though, the great candy swap my brother and I would do. It was like the stock exchange, only cooler. But I don't really mourn the loss of trick-or-treating, I just see myself now as part of the very essential group of people who give out candy instead of get it. Also, I live next to an elementary, school, so I get lots of little kiddies. And gosh, they're cute.
Mostly, though, I wanted an excuse to draw me holding a really cute jack o'lantern. I'm not going to lie.
Edit! ( I went trick-or-treating on LJ and all I got was this stupid meme. )
