It's not even half way into September, and I'm already thinking about Halloween. A couple years ago, I wanted to be a Jedi Knight but was too lazy to actually buy a costume. And what was the point anyway, all my friends were in Iowa--I was presently in Connecticut--and I sure as hell was not going to go out by myself in a makeshift Jedi Knight costume that consisted of my burgundy bath robe, my taekwondo gi, and cardboard cylinder posing as a lightsaber. So, I gave out candy to the few kids that knocked on our door.
Fast forward two years in the future. I'm back in Iowa for Halloween. This time I'm with my friends and we all dress up for the festivities. Well, not so much festivities, but we did hang out, played games and took pictures. There was even this Santa lawn ornament strapped to the roof of one of her neighbors houses... awesome! I was a neo hippie while one of my friends was a flapper girl and the other was a doctor. That was fun. I got to put tons of gel in my hair to get it all curly and frizzy and then I put on some butterfly temporary tattoos.
A year later, a friend of mine was a goth... which I totally wanted to be... but since she already took it, I dressed up as pirate. I liked the costume, I didn't have to buy much of anything since I just used an old button down shirt, khaki capris, knee-high socks, loafers, and a bandana. All that was bought was a tri-cornered hat and a toy flintlock pistol. My 'goth' friend also had an inflatable parrot to put on my shoulder, but I didn't end up using it because I forgot it at home.
Now, I want to be some sort of superhero. This might be the last halloween all three of us have together, so I want to dress up as something memorable and fun. I was thinking Storm from X-men or maybe even Freefall from Gen 13. A lot of female superheroes have ridiculous costumes that show off too much skin... that will definitely aide my decision when picking a superheroine.
