Where did it go?

If you are reading this, you are wondering “where did what go?”  Now that I have you thinking, I will go ahead and tell you.  Yep, I am not dragging it out to make you read all the way to the end to find out what I am talking about.  So to answer, I want to know where did Halloween go?  Yes, I know time goes by fast and it was only a week ago.  No, I was not sleeping and did not miss it going by.   The context I am going for is the excitement of dressing up, running around to obtain candy, meeting friends to hang out, etc.  Unfortunately, I had to work for 6 hours and that is the only place I was able to have fun dressing up…………and it still was far from fun.  I did not see any children trick or treating and nobody wanted to hang out after my shift.  It wasn’t very hard to find some events still going on even though it was a Sunday night, but everyone skipped out anyway.  I really wanted to go out and have a few drinks with someone that might enjoy the holiday as much as I do.  But the repeat failure I had on responses really disappointed me.  It got to me so much that I couldn’t help but think how much I hate living here in VA.  If I was home (NY), I know of people that definitely would have dressed up with me and gone out for some fun even if limited by the fact that it was Sunday.  Very frustrating.  Otherwise, I somewhat enjoyed the few hours I had in my costume at work, although nobody had a clue I was dressed up or who I was supposed to be.  Here’s a few pics, can you tell?

Yes!! Good job, I’m Lara Croft from the video game not the movie.  My coworker was Indiana Jones.  The idea was he would be the character that spawned the idea of the Lara Croft series.  No?  Ok, well I just told you so you have to believe me.  I hope next year’s Halloween makes up for this year.  It’s my favorite holiday and I don’t like feeling disappointed during one of the highlights of my year.  Will you join me next time?

On a side note and in expansion to a previous post of mine:

I took a poll/wrote a post a few weeks ago about attending an event for Locks of Love hosted by the local radio station 97.1 Wash FM.  Only 7 people voted (lame) and it leaned in favor of me donating my hair.  Prior to the that, I had it in my head that I would definitely go for it and get the cut.  I put my name in, then made my blog post/poll.  Well, now it’s official!!  I received my email confirming my appointment for 12:45pm at the Paul Mitchell School in Tyson’s Corner to donate my hair to Locks of Love.  Say bye bye to the hair!  Don’t worry, it grows back 😀
