This has been a weird week, not really because sucky things have happened, but mostly because I’ve been in a weird frame of mind.
But anyway, Cath and I were talking about how much Halloween has changed just since we were kids. When we were kids, we were allowed to roam the neighborhood by ourselves. We set out when it started getting dark and usually didn’t return until around 9-10 at night. Not only that but we kept trick-or-treating until we got so old, people gave us funny looks. I miss it so much.
But now, kids are escorted everywhere – or even DRIVEN to every house. They get HOME before it gets DARK! And rarely do I see anyone over the age of 10 – and when I do they’re not really in costume just trying to get candy.
And I think it was last year or the year before that that they actually almost called off Halloween – just because it was on a school night.
I mean, wtf. How can it all have changed so fast? It’s depressing really.
I won’t have a Halloween picture this year – remember I like to skip years for some reason – but hopefully next week I’ll have finished the incredibly stupid pointless thing I’m working on and will have it posted.
Tomorrow night I guess I’m going to this Camp Out Thing of Cath’s… I said I’d go with her but I looked it up online and it’s like a 70 minute drive away. *makes face* I may just drive around and see people I know.
