After Halloween is the real time to buy candy. It is all on sale.
by SilkthreadIt's my favorite time of year and this will be the last October in the fall for me. NZ is going into spring, and though the list is long of all I look forward to- the thing I can't seem to wrap my head around about moving so far away- is how different October is going to be after this year. Here in America it's an Autumn month- my favorite season. It's my birthday month. I'm a fall baby. And it's the month of my favorite holiday. After this year, it will never be the same again, and I'm surprised by how sad that makes me.
If you moved far away from your country, what would you be sad to leave behind, if anything?
Time to post some Halloween shit! This is my homage to one of the greatest holidays I know. :D
Silk, not trying to imply anything, but never say never.
Why are you so attached to Halloween? Every year you've made a thread about it. Your style is a bit gothic, maybe more so in your youth. Any fun memories on Halloween?
If I were to leave my country for good I'd miss many things. People, landscapes full of memories, food, etc. I'd hate to never come back to all that.
Piles: You've known Raven for a long time. Why is it a surprise that underneath all her defenses she's in fact sensitive and emotional?
October was a strange month for me growing up. Firstly, I was not allowed to make a big deal about my birthday. We weren't allowed to have parties or receive gifts. Second, we were not allowed to celebrate Halloween. My father would go out of his way to make sure it was known, even at school, that we were not to participate in anything to do with it. Forbidden fruit maybe? That's what originally made this month such a huge deal. Then when I got away from all his oppression, it meant something deeper than just what the holiday has to offer, or what it is to have your birthday matter. It serves to remind me that my life is my own now. The choice belongs to me.
