I went to a Halloween bonfire this evening in a little town about an hour away from where I live. I was invited by a friend from a FB group I belong to, who said some others from the group would be there as well. I was looking forward to a night that was, I don't know, more in tune with the spirit of the evening.

What I got was basically a drunken kegger attended by a bunch of wannabes. The music was terrible. The majority of the people were terrible. The food was terrible. (If I'd known that I would have stopped off at a McDonalds or something and eaten before I got there!)

My FB friend who had invited me was kind of apalled by the party-goers behavior and apologized profusely, but then she went off to drink absinthe with her girlfriend. SMH.

The highlight of the evening was when one of the drunken oafs fell off a log and possibly ruptured a testicle. While everybody else was hauling his big, stupid ass to the nearest ER, I exited stage left.

I should have just stayed home and hung out with the cats while eating popcorn and watching spooky movies online.

I don't even feel like lighting my Halloween candle or doing any of my other rituals.

This has been the Worst Halloween ever. :(

Things I have watched so far this month to get into the Halloween mood:

1) Scary Godmother
2) Scary Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy
3) ParaNorman
4) The Addams Family ep, "Halloween with the Addams Family"
5) Halloween is Grinch Night

As you can tell, I don't really watch 'horror' movies to get into the spirit of the season. To me, that's not what Halloween is all about. That said, I probably will wind up watching a couple of scary movies, but mostly it's gonna be more whimsical stuff.

To each his own. :)
