I had an idea for this sociological experiment. My goal is to engage in a more detailed and honest dialogue with friends and strangers and to learn more about myself and others.
I was born the day before. So not only do I get to dress up as whomever I want to be (often I fit in some kind of royalty-themed costume, I mean I AM a birthday princess), but I get presents too!
I usually celebrate the entire week and have at least 2-3 costumes.
Despite my birthday, Halloween is awesome because it includes everyone...and it really isn't about presents, it's about fantasy and imagination.
It's a celebration of the death of one season and the entrance into another. I like that we celebrate death, it makes it not so scary to confront. Halloween can be scary if you want it to be, but in the end, you're still having fun being scared. F.U.N.
Halloween.
