Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

My grandmother would get scared on Halloween and not give out candy either

My parents' house was often the house to hit later on, as they'd give out full-sized candy bars.

Of course, in that little village they'd usually only get like 30 kids a night. Not recommended in the city unless you have the dough.

No candy this year... considering that we're in an apartment. Not doing anything particularly special for Halloween either =P

If I'm lucky, I'll be able to carve another Jack-o-lantern. Otherwise, not much.

Candy is in the house. I'm still putting money on no kids showing up however. We could hang streamers and balloons and have creepy music playing in the front yard and we wouldn't get anyone.

I'm going to root around for some horror films in our very expansive "recorded from TV" VHS collection and play them either in the living room or in the basement. On the one hand, the basement is more comfortable and there isn't anythign blocking the TV screen in half the available spaces, on the other hand easier/quicker access to trick-or-treaters and the crappy yet nostalgic 80's stereo system.

Ah hell I'll go with the basement. I can get louder that way. >

Yeah, we're giving out candy here tomorrow. Rather, I'm giving out candy here. Fucking hate that job.

I think I've gotten used to handing out candy, and gotten to actually like it a little. I'd rather do something for Halloween, even if it's something stupid like that. So I tend to get a little sore when my parents swoop in and do the job instead of waiting for me to bound from my room to the front door.

I missed three in a row now and now I'm afflicted with "HOLIDAY BLUH SYNDROME".

It's probably one of the worse kind of bluhs for me.

Two sets of kids. One set never reached the door, after being frightened away by my Jack-o-lantern.

I didn't even notice it was Halloween yesterday, not a single kid came... I've also been too busy studying for midterms like to go buy candy so they would've left empty handed. xD

I realized it was Halloween when someone showed me this video late last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INsSU8Jnx-4&feature=player_embedded#!

Lots of people came by here.

Of course, the moment my mother sees a group of "older kids" (who knows, i didn't see them) out she's all "oh my god no close the door!!!!!!!!!! they're too old " She's also really for fining older kids... if something like that ever came into effect here, I'd just not give any candy out at all.

If the candy hadn't been put away by the time I got back (I was upstairs), I'd have turned things back on and given some to them.

My argument on that is that if you're going to be trick or treating as a teenager/young adult... you'd better have a damn good costume on. I'd reward effort, but don't toss on a white tablecloth and say you're a ghost.

Apparently a lot of kids showed up back home. My mom had to dip into the backup candy reserve. Though at some point, the kids arriving were just teens, not even in costume. They just showed up at the door holding out their hands.

And those are the ones I wouldn't give candy to. You're old enough; put in some effort.

While sitting around the table at the NASA tweet-up, one of the guys pulled out a bowl of candy.

At least I got some Halloween candy this year.

I'd have been a bit depressed if this happened to me. Chocolate's fine, but I'm not crazy about it.

When it comes to having a large pile of candy, variety is crucial. Otherwise I feel like I'd get tired of the same thing over and over...

Even if it's just different types of M&Ms, actually. I get the feeling that a bowl of different types mixed together would be pretty interesting.
