So usually around this time I would start thinking about my Halloween costume (and then put it off until early October anyways because I prefer to assemble random leftovers from the stores...this has worked well for me, I kind of wish I had photos of some of my past few costumes).

But Halloween this year is on a Monday. I'll be at school.

Last year it was Sunday and I couldn't do it then, either. This is really upsetting for me, Halloween is pretty much my favorite holiday. And next year it'll be on a Wednesday. Since I don't do parties, even Halloween parties, there's no reason for me to make a costume at all.

Last year I helped Paige design hers instead; I might do that again this year, although she's planning, apparently, to go with Nathan, and with how she's been designing her own cosplay stuff recently I think she'll probably want to do this herself.

So instead I was thinking of maybe designing a costume for Tripper. He loves wearing clothes, so I figure as long as the costume is comfortable for him, he'll like it. I'm not sure what to do with him, though...

Oh wait, maybe I could just rip up one of my old shirts a bit (they fit him well, lol) so that it hangs more naturally on him and make him look like a weredog? :D simple yet effective. I know they're plenty loose around the neck, the only problem is that the sleeves fit weird on him and inhibit his movement a bit, so maybe I could roll the sleeves up, or rip/cut them off...

I'll also have some trouble finding a suitable shirt for me to tear apart since I recently donated most of the ones I don't wear. Hmmm. Maybe Dad has a better one, he wears XLs too.
