i would still go trick or treating
i could probably pass for like 13 if i didn't wear too much makeup and flat shoes and covered up my boobs. i still look pretty much the same.

or if i went as a ghost with a sheet over my head so no one can see that i'm a geezer

Yeah, the ghost one would be ace:

"Whoooo! Trick or treat!"
"Ooh, how nice! Have some candy!"
"Cantankerghost no want candy - she want Malboro Reds and Jack Daniels. Whoooo!"

adult halloween would be awesome

like people just throwing drugs and booze and fags in your pillow case
and condoms and adult diapers and other adulty things

"Adult diapers"? Ha ha ha ha ha!

I'd demand Pringles, Malboro Lights, bottles of beer, condoms (nicking one of your ideas), gay lube and.....a cigarette lighter that actually works. (You wouldn;t believe how many lighters I break - it's frankly embarrasing).

belgium.

actually the origin of halloween is european, people would put food outside for the dead and such, then it went to america and got big there, while the tradition just died here. now the shops have started taking over the american halloween, with decorations and stuff, and there are some halloween parties every year, but kids dressing up is pretty rare.

we dress up and collect candy on another day, somewhere in january. we go in groups of three, dressed up as the three kings who went to see baby jesus, and go from door to door to sing a song and get some money or candy. we also eat a cake with a bean hidden in it, the one who gets the bean is king for a day.

i have 975o475o54 broken lighters because i buy the shit ones that are like $0.99


halloween doesn't seem as huge as it used to be, even how it was when i was a kid
i think parents are getting too paranoid about like, child molesters and people putting anthrax in the candy and stuff. shit, we used to go out alone and not come back until 11:00 at night with a shit load of candy.
and sometimes old ladies would give us holy cards or dimes instead.

^^^ Lovely pics, our 'Mama! I can see the resemblance between you and your Mum.

omg. nice hair.


ah the 80s....

my eyes have been three colours in my whole life: blue, gray, and now green
also i was cool enough to have a harley-davidson shirt (and it SPARKLED too!)



worst. school. picture. ever.:





aforementioned halloween picture:




lol:

the last pic is the über-chiller!

Photo #1 - Word!
Photo #2 - I have a FAR worse skool pic of me - that fugly gold currently resides with Mum Melly.
Photo #3 - Awwww.
Photo #4 - Ditto. I take it that Cantankermom holding you?

no, it's cantankergrandma

[facepalm]
As I've waffled on to you before, you grandmother isn't that much older than Mum Melly (she's 58)...You must have been a few months old then, eh?

about 5 or 6 months old

cantankergrandma was 44 or 45

she is now 63

Once again - awwwww!

I've got a piccy somewhere round here of Dad Melly when he was a babe in arms - he looks sooo lovely. Dad Melly's have pics of him in New Addington (the biggest shithole in London - I know, I lived there for a bit) when he was 17, and he looks way cool in a pissed-off way (he was well into the Stones then in 1965). My Mum was a mod then too, when she was, what 14? Ah, them were the days... :)

yeah. seriously. that's amazing. i don't look like my mother, but i do look like my dad.

Why? Cause of the Wilderness calender?

and a much better school picture if you ask me. if not a little creepy.

i'll find one when i was 11 or 12 if i can, that will certainly bring the lulz.

Photo #2 - pure Win!
Photo #1 -whouda thunk that this sweet lil girl would discover the ROCK that is The Runaways and thee AC/DC? ;)

my favourite at the time of that picture was the spice girls
britney and all them hadn't come along yet
wow that's weird to think about

and that second picture was taken 15 or 16 years ago!

wow i feel old but i'm totally not
