It&#8217;s getting me depressed about the end of October already. My sincerely favorite day of year and I have yet to get to a good party. I find it&#8217;s a little like New Years. Somewhere in the city there <i>must<\/i> be some amazing parties, but I am caught in the party dregs. The last swill in the bottom of the champagne bottle parties. The one with back-wash from the drunken moron who just handed it to you, just about setting your silver painted hair on fire with his cigarette. He&#8217;s slobbering on a girl you came with, who&#8217;s been too blasted to be company for a good three hours. Putting the bottle down, you go stand outside to be alone because it&#8217;s better than this. You look back into the lit house and feel so alone that being at home watching television would be better. Bitter, I don&#8217;t even own a television. That party. Every damned year. <\/p>\n<p>They make me want to steal a car and just drive at night. Keep going until I hit a city that isn&#8217;t this one. Drive until the sun comes up and find out where I am. I&#8217;m considering leaving the city for Halloween this year. If I can manage to swing another job into play, then I could save enough to find somewhere with people in it. I don&#8217;t think I could stand yet another painfully failed holiday. It&#8217;s the only one I ever pay attention to. I forgot christmas last year. Woke up to people calling me to wish my Merry X-mas and I couldn&#8217;t understand what they were going on about. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that over already?&#8221; Like I would care. Give me a holiday that celebrates in the damned dark. No family dinner and a hellish load of candy. I want to carve pumpkins then make too much pie. Give me a day in costume and I am a gleeful girl. I twirl around and giggle. Don&#8217;t kill it this year world. Have some broken boned mercy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was discussing Halloween with Gavool last night while waiting for mummy dearest to arrive.
