I have amazing friends... and I can't take that for granted.
I am surrounded by some of the craziest, funniest, and cleverest people on the face of this earth. When I get around my friends I am guaranteed to have a good laugh. No one takes themselves too seriously, and they're always looking for ways to push the boundaries.
October 31st was no exception.
If I have a crazy idea- most of my friends are in as soon as it passes from my lips.
When I was a little kid, I LOVED Halloween. I usually had my costume by the end of September and would wait with HUGE anticipation for that glorious day when you not only get to dress-up, but you're rewarded with sweets for doing so.
In my opinion, the adult Halloween options are seriously lacking. I am not suited to staying in and handing out candy because I am super greedy when it comes to sweets. I HAVE gone downtown on Halloween, but that was only to laugh and point at all the things girls try to pass off as costumes (I've never seen so many bare bums in my life!)...
Faced with this reality, my friends and I have brought back the days trick-or-treating. In everyday life we pass for highschool kids ALL the time- so why not put it to good use?
Three years later it just keeps getting better and better. The people love us- they give us "big kids" extra candy. They ask to take our picture. When they ask us what grade we're in we change the subject by commenting on how well their renovations are coming along.
At the end of the night three mid-twenties girls lug home their goods and live in candy heaven for a solid three weeks... and comment on how sore their faces are from all the smiling and laughing.
