...especially during times of year when it is more acceptable to act..."strange".
As I stated in a previous post SOME persons don't appreciate my appreciation for Halloween. Well all this week I have been going a bit overboard with my antics...possibly because of the comments...or possibly because its Halloween biotches.
Person: *looking disapprovingly at my mini witch hat* Has any one ever told you, you are a bit, oh I dunno, weird?
Me: *OMG how often will I get this opportunity* They never really stop (yea I kinda quoted him, say something! hahaha)
Person: Were you just blaring "The Monster Mash" from your car???
Me: *getting out of car* *dancing around in a circle* It was a graveyard smash!
Person: *shakes head* yea, okay whatever
Me: No...? How about the Transylvania Twist?!!?! *biggest smile EVER*
Person: *rolls eyes*
Person: *almost skipping down the hall* I had to come see what you had on! I just knew you'd be decorated :)
Me: Did I disappoint?? *hamming it up with my giant witch hat*
Person: Nope! Happy Halloween!!! (this person clearly GETS me!)
(Another) Person: *pops head in doorway* Yes! I win! I knew you'd have something Halloween on!!!
Me: But of course!
Person: How come no one else gets in the spirit?!?!
Me: No idea
Person: Their loss! Never change, have fun today :)
He almost made me cry, that was very sweet!
Stranger: *looking at all the SCARY Halloween stuff on the conveyor belt* Do you amuse yourself with the strange and unusual?
Me: *wistfully* I myself am strange and unusual
Stranger: *high five* Beetlejuice is one of my favorites
Me: OMG me too! *I made a friend, ha!*
I feel like this person tried this many times and no one else stepped up to the challenge of semi-quoting Lydia Deetz.
Person: Your shirt is adorable!
Me: *looks down at shirt* Ah, yes :) Thanks!
Person: It's so Halloween-y
Me: *super nerdy excited* It's all the words to the witches spell in the shape of a cauldron! *looks expectantly at person*
Person: Oh, right, ok. I get it witches...its shaped like a pot.
Me:......
Peron:.... *smiles uncomfortably*
Me:.... like....like from Shakespeare...you know, "double double toil and trouble..."
Person: That's from Shakespeare...???
Me: *gobsmacked* *clears throat* yes....Macbeth
Another Person: *laughing manically* OMG, how do you not know that?!?!
Me: *sighs* *smiles* Y'all have a nice day.
Me: *Listening to "Animals" when the howling part comes on* "Oooooooooooooouuuuuuuwwww"
Person: Are you kidding me?
Me: What?!!? It IS part of the song.
Person: I think you are doing this for attention.
Me: Maybe...maybe not but at least I'm having fun *manic grin*
Person: *laughing* Ya, I guess you are.
I can't help it! I love love love love Halloween! It makes me hyper! Well that and the 4 cups of coffee this morning. Of course not all of these happened today...maybe I am hyper all the time *hmmmmm*
UPDATE: Someone just walked past my door. Stopped. Walked back. Smiled and said "so is it the witching hour?" Yay, I'm so glad some people appreciate and EXPECT my Halloween antics.
