awp camipng fag!!
i suck at Counter Strike. i mean, i fucking blow.
so yeah, it’s Halloween. bout the most spirited thing i did was grab a tootsie pop from SPAC. why is it such a big deal? i mean, there’s a lot of Halloween crap going on. is it just my imagination, or is Halloween gaining in importance? i have a theory about this. i think that Halloween is such a meaningless, benign holiday that all the PC types can get juiced up about doing stuff for it. seriously, don’t give me some background about how it was derived from some Druid thing; Halloween is fuckin MEANINGLESS. let’s accept that. doesn’t mean it isn’t cool, or fun, but it’s meaningless. and that’s why i think people been gettin all gung-ho about it.
however, i should say that i loved Halloween as a kid. perhaps it was the competitive aspect of trying to get the most candy, then going to school the next day and saying bullshit like “i filled up three pillow cases.” riiight. but yeah, it was kinda tough too — like the time i trick-or-treated in a cold rainstorm. that’s respect-worthy, and the people at the houses rewarded me with extra candy. Halloween takes effort, and i can dig that.
as much as i liked the general idea, though, i was never that kid with the ab fab costume. i was practical. i wasn’t going to get all paper-mached up or some retarded shit like that. my costumes allowed me to be mobile and amass large amounts of candy through significant trick-or-treating operations. several times, i took advantage of Adam Sandler’s “crazy eggbeater man” idea, or variations thereof, which was the ultimate in practicality. sometimes the people answering the door were dumbfounded, but that wasn’t my problem.
oh yeah, i’m done with my midterms. i think i did fine. i’m tired. i want to sleep 10 hours tonight.
