Oct. 31st, 2002 02:36 pmSo, I wore my angel costume today. :D
Wings, a deep red button-down shirt, black pullover tank top with a silver barbed wire design over it, black slacks, my nice leather shoes, the Vash glasses, and a very simple black leather belt.
Got lots of funny looks.
Got applause.
Got jokes.
But the wierdest thing? Got someone walking up to me. Examining me. Nodding. Shouting "You da MAN!", and giving me a high five, then walking off.
Work even took me to lunch so the whole office could go out in costume. :>
And I still have one more meeting today. Which I will go to in costume. And I get to hand out some candy tonight.

Oct. 31st, 2002 03:31 pm Read it. Please. Now.
I cannot stress how much I agree with today's comic. I made my religious choice because I found a religion that, after a -lot- of searching, I found I cared about. That I believed in. That was willing to be as low or high maintinence in my life as I needed.
Not because I hated the Church, or wanted to torque my parents, or because I got beat up.
"Getting back" at someone or "taking power" is the -worst- possible reason to join a religion.
If you decide to worship Goddess, God, the Virgin, the Sun, the Left Handed Hummingbird, or your Shoes, so long as you do it because you have faith, and are comforted by their existence in the world, that's cool. Roll with it.
Have faith, and faith will manage.
Have a good new year, and be safe out there tonight. It's samhain. Faith manages.

Oct. 31st, 2002 09:12 pmNow, I am amused.
I wore the angel costume.
I sat in the doorway of my darkened room.
I held a purple plastic pumpkin full of candy.
I held my lightsabre.
Just by sitting and smiling, I scared no less than 47 people to the point they refused to come near. (My hallmates kept count.)
Probably 15 or so were kids below the age of 12. The rest weren't. Including 2 College tour guides.
Why yes, I did enjoy myself. :D
Strange coincidence: One of the girls on the 2nd floor did a costume that's almost exactly the same as mine, except she's got black wings, and dark red dress with black vest beneath the coat. We're gonna get a picture of the two of us taken at the masquerade ball, somehow, just because it's too amusing that we had such similar costumes without even knowing the other was going for something.
Anyhow. Good night, and I gave out lots of candy, and I got a nice charging dose of the fear of the mortals.
