Halloween???

October 15, 2019

With Halloween being not to far away. Has anyone have plans? Party, costume at work. or maybe dressing as your true self? For those that at still in the closet. I have the 30-31 off, on the 31 I have my lazer treatment. I am going as more of the real me. Gray sweater dress, gray leggings, slight heels. it will be fun and exciting.

I am going to a fetish Halloween party and have a costume that works for all three nights. Fairy princess for “whimsy”, Sorcerous for “Arcana”, and maiden for “decadence”. It will be fun because I get to be in costume, be my true self and just be in a safe space to be me.

I'm not honest;y sure. My sister-in-law has a party every year, but it's well-attended and as a raging introvert my preferred group size is about six or so unless I know them really, really well. Especially this year. My brother-in-law, who was a HUGE fan of Halloween, just passed and if the number of people at his viewing was anything to go by, the town's population is going to double that night.

So I'm torn. I want to go out and be pretty, but the thought of being around that many strangers makes me ill.

Hugs!

Would it be really to out there if i say ill be thinking of my passed close relatiives. trying to feel closer to them

Its actually celtic On the night of October 31 the celts celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Be nice to feel them just a little closer to me. Even if its just in my mind.

I dont think ill be dressing up for it.

Not at all. It sounds like a lovely tradition. There are worse ways to spend the night than thinking fondly of people that were special to you that have gone on ahead. I could completely get into that.

Hugs!

A number of spiritual beliefs all come together in my neighborhood, we have neighbors who celebrate Samhain as Maid in Bedlam describes, although they participate in the U.S. version of Halloween, for me as an Episcopalian and the Catholic church just around the corner from me, it is All Saints Eve (All Hallows Eve) and most of the people attending the Catholic church are also observing a "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead), and in that Catholic Parish it is fine for children (and adults) to come to the All Saints Mass in costume.

My neighborhood is really pretty safe and the parents let them do Trick or Treating on my block, which my neighbors and I are happy to deal with and generous with candy hand outs and some decoration.

My LGBT center which is a couple of miles away has a Trunker Treat event where participants decorate their car's trunks (boots) and have candy treats for the children, and then shows a Halloween themed movie out doors, with soft drinks and cup cakes and popcorn. Not too sure which I will do the most of this year.

WThe trick or treating part of Halloween will be enjoyed with two 5 year olds and their mommie. There is a neighborhood across the way that is a goo area for kids to enjoy the celebration.

I dont know what’s going on in my apartment building. I’m hoping the neighbors have something cool planned. There are a lot of parties going on in Hillcrest of course. There is always Balboa Park and downtown, and the haunted houses.

Since i I haven’t presented in public yet, I’m excited, cause I might finally have enough courage to muster to venture out in the neighborhood.

I'll be wearing a pointy hat, dancing around a bubbling cauldron chanting "bubble, bubble, toil and trouble..."
