Happy spooky day!

On Saturday I made the party rounds as a witch. Today I am something even scarier - a perky 1950s sock-hopper who knows how to hand jive!

So far the best costume I've seen today is on [livejournal.com profile] _earthshine_, who showed up for work dressed as a chimney sweep. Complete with accent and a cheery "'elo, Govnah!"

Are you dressing up today?

No, but I'm wearing my ankle-length green cloak to the grocery store instead of a coat.

Like a lawyer.

Nope, scroogey corporate dress code, so I am just wearing an orange shirt and black pants.

So you're a pumpkin?

Close enough!

No one here's in costume. It's kinda sad.

A very zen pumpkin!

If you squint and use your imagination.

Wait, you work with [livejournal.com profile] _earthshine_? How did I not know this??

Spooky small-world unexpected connections...

It's a new development. Actually, about a month old now. I'm picking up extra part-time work with the gang at EDA (http://www.electrodynamics.com)

*blush* You're too kind...

...but WAIT! As of 9:28, wasn't mine the ONLY costume you'd seen today?!? :/

I'm a pirate as well! But I have no idea where my eyepatch is.

I'm the only one at work who dressed up, but everyone says I look fabulous, so that's good.

I'm a pirate every day, but today I get to dress like it!

I was already a witch this week, so I'm rather loath to put the costume back on. But I might still do so, for the kiddies.

I did!!

Not today...

I was the *ONLY* one at school in any sort of a costume. Scratch that. One girl had ghost earrings on. Besides that, it was just me.

Apparently the majority of business students are boring as hell.

WTF is hand-jive?

Hand Jive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_jive) is a type of dance that involves small fast motions of the hands, and sometimes clapping the hands (together or on some other part of the body). It is the subject of a song in the musical Grease (See video from the play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP3OQmNoDh0) and usually associated with rock and/or roll.
