i want to meet people with bigger dreams than me, that inspire me, that make me want to get up and do something, that are filled to the brew with valor. i want to meet someone who makes me jump for joy at the drop of a pin. i want to meet someone who will stay up until four in the morning to watch roseanne. hop to it.

i already have my "main" costume and, for those of you who don't already know what it is, i'll leave that a surprise.

BUT SINCE I LOVE HALLOWEEN SO MUCH, I think I'll get two, maybe three costumes to switch it up at parties. :]

so i'm thinking, and i'm sort of inspired by the wednesday addams thing. i might just recreate it and make it cuter on my own.
