I had a pretty good Hallows, all things considered.
Spent the day dressed casually, jeans and a nice layered top combo, etc. out and about the town. You could say I chose to take on the world, no holds barred, and came out without any scratches this time. Hit the stores, even stopped into my work for a scarce moment but didn't really acknowledge anyone (they were all busy), but bumped into a few people that had not seen me dressed before, and they were great to talk to!
By the time Trick or treat time came around, I had changed into my costume, and again was ready to walk without fear.. AND my parents came down from NH to go treating with my son and I - this was the first time my parents would see me dressed! (albeit in costume)... but again, went off pretty well - I think my father was taken aback, but seemed to just let me be me.
Two parties later and SO MANY friends to talk to, I made it home sober and sadly shed everything and went to sleep..
Ultraviolet did her best to make a good appearance though. :D
