I really wanna play catch-up! I have a great group of "heathen worldlings," faded and exJWs and I'm gonna try and arrange something for this year. There are tons of clubs in my city that throw fantastic parties. I feel no sense of "weirdness" in wanting to do this. None at all. I've had over 35 years to think about what I'd wanna go as. So, my biggest challenge is deciding on a costume. My second-biggest challenge will be to avoid being photographed and tagged on any social networking sites because I'm only faded with several generations on both sides still inside the bOrg. This would sever all ties I still have with them. Oh well... I'm not gonna let that put a damper on the fun. Here are a few ideas I have for my first getup:
1) King Tut (with golden face and body, eyeliner and a nemes hat)
2) Zombie Mohammed (but I won't go in public for fear of having my throat slit)
3) Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's IT
4) Jambi the Genie from Pee-Wee's Playhouse
5) The LMFAO Robot
6) Darth Vader, a Storm Trooper or Emperor Palpatine
Does this board have any other ideas? Is anyone else dressing up? For those of you who have done it, is it as fun as it looks? I have no conscience issues with birthdays or X-mas, but I have no desire to celebrate them. They really seem like they'd be a chore. Every year, it's an obligation to buy gifts. I'm not sure I wanna start that cycle. But Halloween has always been the holiday I wished I could participate in. Back in the 80s when costume parties were still allowed, those were my favorite thing to do! I'm even thinking about volunteering at a haunted house this year just for $#!+s and giggles!
