I Love Halloween

skonen_bladesThis morning, as I was walking to work, I walked between a woman dressed as a 1920's flapper girl and a woman dressed up as a face-painted, wig-wearing, jersey-sporting football fan.
I visited Jhayne at work and she was dressed up as asaucy matador lion tamer. Her co-worker was dressed up as a highwayman.
On the skytrain, there was a young man, mentally retarded and slightly deformed, dressed as a pirate. He was with his guardians on his way to Science World. He had done his own makeup and I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a clown. It was smeared and asymmetrical so it was hard to tell. He was super happy and he smiled through the garish makeup and the facial defects and said "I'm a pirate!". It was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen and at the same time one of the most wonderful.
A lunch, I saw a guy going to work dressed as a warlock. A giant robe and a cowl with arcane symbols all around the trim. He had on sensible office shoes and was avoiding the puddles. He was carrying a briefcase. And a broom.
After lunch, I saw a woman dressed up as a devil with an umbrella hunched over and trying to not get wet. Like maybe it doesn't rain in hell and she was miserable, plotting revenge on the travel agent who recommended Vancouver.
And it's not even 3PM yet.
I freaking LOVE this holiday.

[I did dress up as A Lady, yesterday. But that was mostly a laundry issue. I can dress up any time I want d: And it doesn't particularly surprise anyone at work when I do.]
