I'll do it next year (also happy halloween)

General
I decided I'll just do the contest next year. It's a bit late to start a Halloween contest now, seeing it is Halloween already. It's sad that I'm not doing anything...but I feel too tired and sick to *sigh* The most I did was dress up as Kyouya from Ouran High School Host club at school for a few hours, and some people reconised me. Anyway, I intend to soon make my club more active, and I've came up with a little game that I'll post there sometime.
Unrelatedly, if you like let's plays, or anything humorus for that matter, I suggest checking out Buttvault's let's play of a really bad pokemon Green translation. It was shown on pokememes and became pretty popular after that, and I want to share it. I'm linking the latest video in here, but if you have the time, I suggest watching all of them. It's THAT funny.
Back on the topic of Halloween, it's actually kind of depressing nowadays. I don't see kids trick or treating anymore, not at houses. Parens all go to malls and stores taking their kids trick or treating. That's not fun. Because 'oh noes, we can't let our children go to strangers houses, they could be murderers or pedophiles, the world is so unsafe nowadays!" The world isn't any less safe than it used to be, the media is using scare tactics to make it seem like it is. Seriously, don't people know that most abusers of children are someone the child already knows, not some stranger on halloween? The only real danger on Halloween is OTHER KIDS, because they are so brutal. I always see smashed pumpkins =(
The saddest part is, the few kids that are allowed to go trick or treating door to door and driven by their parents. In cars. Seriously, what the hell? Is it that much of a trouble to walk a couple feet to each house? I actually went trick or treating with someone whose mom did that. It was lame. The whole fun of trick or treating as a kid is to go around exploring your neighborhood after dark, and yes, the walking part is FUN. Kids need a lot of excersize, they need to explore you shouldn't be denying kids that. All that energy from the candy needs to go somewhere.
The streets are so empty on halloween nowadays...I miss when there was people everywhere. Last year I went trick or treating with a friend (Yeah, so what? =p) and I hardly saw anybody else on the streets. It was saddening. Overprotective and lazy parents are ruining Halloween.

Sorry you're not feeling good enough to join in the festivities... D=
Agreed 110% on the Halloween thing. Walking around and taking occasional candy breaks is the fun part!
On top of that, the thing that kills me most is the increase in "sexy" costumes, ESPECIALLY on little kids. It's bad enough that I'm seeing fewer and fewer scary/creative costumes nowadays ("sexy" kitties everywhere...), but it reaches a whole new level of creepy to see little girls wearing rather provocative outfits... I dunno. Maybe I'm overreacting, but it bothers me.
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well :C I hope you have a relaxing evening!
