Heh...

Kathy's birthday party and the halloween dance were tonight. There's nothing quite like feeling alone in a crowd to drain the wind from your sails. There was a nice long moment though when I lost myself in having fun; that was cool.

Less cool to see some of the first round of costume contest entrants picked on the basis of who they were and not how impressive their costumes were...There are definitely some incredibly talented costume makers here; I wish I was one of them. Chandra recruited me for her Winny the Poo themed group (it reached nearly 30); I was an athid, a green bug that apparently eats Rabbit's carrot plants. So I thankfully had a costume, but lacking the creativity to generate my own was a little disappointing. I may have a bad memory, but I still recall the days when I was still creative.
