fantasticmuseHappy Halloween, or whatever it is you celebrate. I'll be posting some scary!vampire!fic later, and maybe some origfic if you're lucky. Halloween makes me happy happy.
And now, something for your entertainment:
Friday Five
1. What was your first Halloween costume?
It was an adorable bunny costume- white footie pajamas with a hat that had rabbit ears. I don't actually remember it, but there are tons of pictures of me in it with my grandpa.
2. What was your best costume and why?
I think my best costume may actually be this year. It's a homemade gypsy costume and it looks really great. I'll probably be able to wear it for some Renn Faire stuff down the road. =D The Raggedy Ann and Medea costumes were pretty kickass too, though.
3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn't give you a treat?
Not really, I've never tricked anyone that wasn't the younger neighborhood kids. Living in the pseudo-country with abandoned, rotting barns is fun for scary stories, yo.
4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
My family always carved pumpkins- but it seems we always put it off til the last minute- we did it the day before or the day of Halloween. Roasting pumpkin seeds was fun too. Our house was all decorated, Mom loves stuff like that. But that was pretty much it for tradition. Ask me again around Christmas and I'll write you volumes.
5. Share your favorite scary story...real or legend!
This is hard... I love scary stories. But if I had to choose... It would be The Yellow Wallpaper by someone I can never remember and The Telltale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.
All the stories of hauntings you see on the History Channel are fun, too. And the story of that woman who bathed in young girl's blood. Her name was... Elizabeth something, and they bricked her up in a wall and left her to die.
:D :D :D No, I'm not morbid at all.
