New Hair and Hallowe'en

[xp_adrienne]

I cut my hair short. First time ever. Big event in my life. I'm kind of freaking out.



Thanks for coming with me, Fi! (And thanks for taking the pic!)

Now that NY Fashion Week's over, time to focus on planning this Hallowe'en party.

Wade and I are doing a Hallowe'en party. The theme is Horror-ble Historical Figures. We're talking about your Ivan the Terribles, your Jack the Rippers, etc. No magic-becoming-costumes this year, please and thanks! All mansionites welcome until midnight. Then all under-agers are getting the boot and the liquor will flow.

Anyone know who they want to come as?

I've never celebrated Hallowe'en before. What does it involve?

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Google it.

That is so my line! I claim propriety rights over it.

I'll give you royalties. It is a good line. I don't understand why someone would go through the trouble of phrasing a question to comment in a journal and then have to wait around for an answer when typing in one word into a search engine could produce results almost immediately. It's an extremely unproductive use of time.

But apparently this thinking makes me rude.

I asked because cultural events are sometimes better explained by those experience them. I apologise if my question was out of line.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

My apologies.

For a slightly more helpful and less rude answer (what is it with the adults in this place, seriously?), Halloween is a big thing here in the States. It's mostly dressing up in costumes and candy - little kids do trick or treating, where they go door-to-door in their neighborhoods and ask for candy (and get it, especially if they're adorable), and adults and teens tend to go for costume parties. Looks like we're in the latter group.

Hope that helps!

You realize that the rude adults can read this, right? Go be helpful in one of your own angsty teen journals. Also, no one dresses up in candy. Come back when you learn how to use proper grammar.

Yes, I realized. And I've already taken the Halloween question to the Gen X comm, so you're safe from us nasty, rude pubescents.

The Oxford Comma is still up for debate but since you pointed it out, I probably should have put one in there. Thanks for the correction, ma'am.

Excellent. Goodbye then!

Adrienne, Jesus.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

What?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Dude, hotdog! Or possibly tootsie roll. Totally Halloween costume staples for the frat crowd.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I stand corrected.

Although I wouldn't consider hot dogs to be candy. But I believe I've seen M&Ms before.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Chill, sparkles. I don't think Adri was trying to be like, rude. Just flippant. What was it you were thinkin' of attending as?

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I believe she flounced off to make her own thread.

But yes, I wasn't trying to be rude. Just productive. But apparently all the adults are rude here.

Thank you, that is helpful. Googling Hallowe'en had produced an alarming amount of material to wade through, and far too many terrible quality costumes.
