Halloween

So before I get into what happened BEFORE Halloween night, let me just explain what happened DURING Halloween night. My lovely sister Sarah had invited me to join her and her friends in a foray down to Bloor Cinema for a 9:30 pm showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, only one of my most favourite movies of all time. She had decided to go as a female version of Rocky Horror, so I decided to come up with something almost as exciting.

I went as a Transylvanian Convention-Goer (all those well-acquainted with RHPS will know what that means) so I donned a pink wig, wore a pink bow-tie and cummerbund (sp?) and dressed almost entirely in black.
On the way down on the trusty TTC Bathurst 7 bus, we spotted many characters in crazy costumes, but this guy was probably the best: his best friend's mom had made him a Banana in Pyjamas costume. Back in the day (maybe 7 or 8 years ago), Bananas in Pyjamas was a popular Australian children's show, involving the antics of several person-sized Bananas in their pyjamas, who were constantly harassed by person-sized animals like rats and such. This guy was really amused by how impressed we were.
Sarah's friends Toni and Mel came with us, each of them dressed as harlots, respectively.
This is me showing off my crazy costume in the kitchen at home before we left. I'm so cool!

But getting back to the beginning of my Halloween day: on Halloween morning I went to see my mom's lawyer with her in anticipation of the November 1st court date. My front walk was still undecorated, and I felt awful about that. But once we got home and I sent Mom on her way to school, I began to decorate like my life depended on it! Spiderwebbing, skeletons, garland and pumpkins, everything came out of the box and onto the walls of my house and front vestibule, and this is what I created:

My front walk, isn't it pretty?

My Jack-O-Lanterns, one of Jack Skellington's face and one of Oogie Boogie silhouetted against the moon.

It was a really good day, and even though I didn't get home until 1:30 am and was pretty sick the next day, it was worth it.
Now onto my next escapade!
