okay, people, i'm freaking out. halloween is seventeen days away and i am severly without costume. i skipped the whole dressing up thing last year because i was answering "the call of duty." actually, no wait. i vaguely remember being in the taproom wearing pelowski's shirt and proclaiming that i was dressing up as her for halloween. but really, that doesn't even count.

being in utah severely crippled my halloween costume plotting. i was doing my thing, hanging out with the mormons, and i come back and bam! halloween is right around the corner. i realize that i still have over two weeks, but the grand scheme must be put in place so i can fine-tune it all before the big night.

when i was a kid i used to get really into my halloween costumes. i was snow white, dorothy from "the wizard of oz," laura ingalls wilder... my costumes were original and intricate and i always looked amazing (thanks mom!). even my freshman year of college, i was meg white: white pants, red top, and a long black wig that stayed on my head for a grand total of five minutes. (remember that halloween, megans? good times.) i love halloween.

so now i have not one, but two halloween parties that my presence is required at, but alas! i do not have a costume, nor do i have any ideas for a costume. at this moment, i have not gotten any good suggestions. i've been given the idea of being a vagina twice. ladies and gentlemen, this is not an acceptable halloween costume suggestion. this is a terrible halloween costume suggestion. (i also want to point out that koegel suggested i be the democratic donkey with a little bit of poop coming out that's shaped like an elephant.)

comment with your best halloween costume and maybe even a good suggestion for me this year.

in return, here is a stellar weekly 5. the theme this week is "songs with significant inebriated memories attached," as suggested by miss samantha scott, who is apparently gathering great worldwide fame, care of my blog. cheers, grrrrl.

-this one goes out to kecia. special thanks to joel. good times after rocky horror #2.

2. trampled by turtles - codeine (blue sky and the devil).
