Happy Hallowe'en!! John's having a Hallowe'en party tonight, and I've made my bread pudding, and we're watching Carrie and Hallowe'en and Hallowe'en II.

And for those of you wondering, yes Luis is still ignoring me, and I've gotten to the point where I'm just laughing in his face. The best one so far was when he was passing, and I was typing, so I didn't notice him ignoring me, so he cleared his throat REALLY LOUDLY and I started shrieking with laughter.

I trick-or-treated till I was 17 and a senior in high school. I realize that that's a little weird, but I went to a boarding school in the middle of the woods in Michigan, and since the only reason teenagers stop trick-or-treating is so that they will seem older than the little kids, with no little kids around, everybody just kept on doing it.

You're freer to be goofy if you don't have to act cool for the kiddies.

I think my best Hallowe'en costume ever was when I was in college. Rita and Susan and Julie had a party, and I put on my black turtleneck and black jeans and black leather jacket and glasses with black frames and sprayed my hair white and carried my camera and a copy of the Edie Sedgewick book and went as Andy Warhol. I walked up to everyone and said "Hi, my name is Andy. Do you have any heroin?"

Last Hallowe'en I helped my friend Cynthia move. She was moving from one building to another three doors down and the furniture had been moved the day before. Now, you would imagine this to be an easy move, but you would be quite wrong. First of all, because they were keeping the same electricity account, they had the electricity turned off in their old apartment and on in the new one, which was perfectly fine until the sun went down. Have you ever tried moving by flashlight? It's pretty complicated. Also, Cynthia was six month pregnant, her husband was at work all day and couldn't help until he came home at 7p, and her seven year old daughter really did NOT want to miss trick-or-treat.

As far as I'm concerned, that was the scariest Hallowe'en ever.
