The day of costumes and candy is coming up, so what are you all doing for this great day? I know much of the world, backwards as it is, doesn't celebrate All Hallow's Eve. So if you're in that remote corner of the world, a resounding ha ha! to you.
Anyhow, since I'm sure people will want to know, I'm going clubbing tomorrow night at a special Hallowe'en edition of Sanctuary (industrial/alternative/synthpop goth night), and off to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and ideally a party afterwards on Hallowe'en itself, and of course the usual sunday at Sanctuary during weekend. Fun fun. :D
-
dressing in black and going round to scare the little kids and steal their candy.
is anything wrong with the forums shrike?
-
Shrikes going to laugh at me. I'm going to be doing tons of coursework and manning the door while reading a novel for a class so I can evaluate the communications theories at work within.
YAY!
-
I am going to be a seductive mad scientist (think Poison Ivy from Batman & Robin movie)....I don't know how seductive I'll be with my real glasses on though :p
I might go to a real voodoo ritual instead...I've only been to one but it was during the day...the nighttime ones are not for the faint of heart from what I've read
:nod:
-
i'll be writing Geometry proofs during halloween..
maybe i'll go out and tell people to give me candy.. maybe i'll bring a toy gun and say i am dressed up as an angry adolescent with a carton ful of eggs and 10 rolls of tp in my back pack.
:)
-
my friend is gonna set up his electrometer (instrument that makes really weird noises) in my front yard and play it. it'll make those kids crap their pants.

lol I will be doing special function proofs on that day, as on every other day :D
-
We feel that, frankly, we're now at an age when we shouldn't have to go trick or treating. So we're going to rob small children of their goodies instead :)
-
I'll be watching "Young Frankenstein". Very funny movie.
-
Watching movies and drinking my self into a stupor before hurling things at the kids as they cross the parking lot below.
-
yeah, i might just dress up as osama
EDIT: Actually i might just dress as a ninja, ... i've already got a costume and all, and i could take my black-cased katana, and it'd be awesome!
-
I'm prolly just going to play trick :nervous: THEN treat with my GF :D
-

Oh i've done that before! hella fun, and you get to run around hitting people with swords. Only differance is the last time i did it, i was about.. oh.. 3 foot 8. :D
Don't forget the ultimate ninja Website (http://www.realultimatepower.net/) :D
-
Imma goin' trick 'er treatin', no need fer a costume
-
The same thing we do every night, Pinky--TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORL--er... wrong script.
I'll be giving out candy, working on compsci homework and trying to hurt my TA's and professors minds with a crazy recursive tree structure that I built for modelling orbital dynamics in OpenGL. :D
Mostly though, just giving out candy. :)
-
Geez, you guys are a boring lot, aren't you? :p
-
The usual. Getting out the hose and climbing onto the roof. Halloween is the one time of year I can exercise my sadistic tendencies and still be more or less within the acceptable bounds of society. Which would be the last place I'd wanna be, except that jail sucks worse than here.
Oh, wait. Actually, this year, I'm going to a birthday party for one of the few people who are more or less "friends" I know. Freaky. I'll have to pay one of my ***** sisters to do the whole hose spiel, lest those arrogant little kids forget their place and start lookign for handouts.
-
Happy Holloween everyone.
:) :)

You're going to a goth night, right?
I'd rather shove railroad spikes through my ears and remove my eyes with serrated grapefruit spoons. I can't think of anything, except a funeral, that would be more boring.
Its a matter of, you know, perspective. ;)

BORING? Unless you don't like going clubbing, ie loud music and dancing, then maybe, but it's not boring, especially when you're out with friends. There's a costume contest too, always fun.

I find being in clubs, with loud music, people I don't know (usually drunk) and strange clothing to be "boring".
I haven't been in a club since I left Japan, Shrike, and I haven't be drunk since my first year in Japan. That's like... um... nearly 5yrs now. I like being the quiet, bookish, stay at home sort.. I like a good book more than a good dance track. See? its perspective. Your thing would bore me unto ennui, and my thing bores you to even contemplate. Perspective. Its a good thing.

That's where you're wrong. I am an avid reader, sometimes to the detriment of my sleep schedule. (oops) If I wasn't interested in 'stay at home stuff' I wouldn't be running this place, now would I? ;)
Not that I like doing just one or the other, I like doing as much as I can.
Now, if I could find those damn field notes I could start on my report.....

Actually, I thought that was a basic streak of insanity common to all people who run things for groups of loosely connected people. ;)
so what ARE you wearing for the costume contest? Say you're going as Bosch as KT suggested.
-
No, nothing complicated, that involves time, money and inspiration, things which I have been in short supply of lately. I personally have never been much of a dress-up kind of guy, so I'm just going as a normal weekend goth. ;)
Well, slightly dressed up, I'll be wearing my vinyl pants most likely, which I don't normally do.
And I still can't find my God-damn field notes!
-
Unfortunately, I will be subjected to a 3 hour Greek class which cannot be skipped, since it includes a vocabulary test. But apparently there will be food and assorted yummies, so not a total loss.
-
This week is our fall holidays. So no school for this week. Suckas.
Today, I will go see my new apartment out of town with a female friend of mine.
Then for a change I will try to complete the deathmatch part of UT in godlike.
Then I will go see the journalists only premiere of the most expensive movie of Estonia, "Names on the marbleslab"
Then I will go out with friends, get drunk and celebrate BC Kalev's victory over BC Kiev yesterday.
Hmm... nothing Halloween related here. :(
Let's see tomorrow's schedule:
0900-1200 - Go swimming
1200-2400 - Tare down the wallpaper at my new apartement.
Gee, what halloween mood. :doubt:
-
yeah, i might just dress up as osama
You know, this would look really funny... :D

I have never been a club so wouldn't know, but I generally hate going out of the house at all; my computer games, special functions and legos are more than enough to keep me busy all the time. :D
-
Wasn't Halloween two weeks ago? I must have gone to the wrong party then!
-
oh, god!
anyways, I'm gonna stay at home, I think. I live one stair up, and they are outside, so if some kids come and disturb me I'll give them the fast ride down. I hate this go-around-and-beg-stuff thing.
and I live in a too small town for it to be any clubs within 15 kilometers.
-
Interesting.....well I work in the morning and our boss is making everyone dress up, she's gonna be a cowgirl and um....;7
Anywho I'm gonna be a police officer and probably gonna be sent home after one too many....
"excuse me sir, did you pay for that?" *handcuffs* "come with me sir." *talks into radio* "Adam 2-12 I got a 918 here, yup, stupid enough to be handcuffed by a fake cop"
-
Hmmm, well i'm going to see a band play at the music hall with my girlfriend, so i dont really care much about haloween. ;7
-
[tasteless joke]I'm going to be a military sniper for helloween[/tasteless joke]
I love helloween. Since there aren't many kids in my neighborhood, I get to eat most of the candy.:)

That's funny and sad at the same time

Let me guess, you're Irish, and as such call it as the name it had before the christians stole it and renamed it.

Alternatively... he's a pagan.

Christians don't steal ideas, they convert them :rolleyes:
Hey i need some ideas for a low skill level, but good looking/uique pumpkin (No pictures of "pumpkin barfing")
-
actually, halloween is celtic...
-
Doesn't it go under several names? All Hallows Eve... Samhain etc..?
-
Samhain is the druidic festival that was the precursor to Halloween. St. Patrick, a Romanized Celt, renamed it to All Hallow's Eve and told the stuffy Roman Catholic bishops it was a pre-celebration of the Catholic saints (hence All Saints Day the following morning) so they wouldn't abolish the holiday for being 'pagan.' He knew abolishing the holiday would have caused some fiery Celtic riots. He was known for his efforts such as these to ease the differences between Celts and their Roman conquerors. :nod:
...and change of plans for me...no costume, no voodoo ritual, I will be spending the only holiday I love nursing this stupid ****ing flu...joy (http://www.uniquehardware.co.uk/server-smilies/contrib/corky/corkysm9.gif)

:lol:

Borealis almost had a cookie :D
Samhain was the new year celebration of th Celtic cultures, a day that didn't belong to a year... the year ended at the 30th, and restarted at the 1st November... the 31st day of October was a "yearless" day, wich was believed to be a day where the living and dead worlds were closer from each other, thus making it easier to contact the ancestors...
BTW, I'm no Irish, but portuguese... and yes I'm pagan :)
-
Say, doesn't that mean I get a cookie? ;)
Ah well - it's good to know I'm not the only one around these barren lands!
