While I hate summer with a passion, I have to say, mid-August is a pretty decent place to be.
Kids are going back to school. Stores and restaurants and other public spaces are thinning out because kids are going back to school, which means I don't have to avoid a lot of the spaces I'd like to be in because, to quote MCR, Teenagers scare the living shit outta me.
It also means Autumn is coming. Granted, since I live in Southern California, the very concept of seasons is pretty much moot. However, that doesn't mean that everybody won't be changing the decor, and that all manner of Autumn-related foods, drinks, and other goodies aren't going to start making their way onto store shelves. September is also when all the Halloween stuff starts appearing, which means it's the time when I start getting extra frisky.
I! Love! Halloween! I love costumes. I love the occult. I love spooky shit. I love passing out candy, kicking back all evening to watch scary movies (I do this thing where I watch a scary movie every single day in October - now that I'm on DW, I'll log it!), and I love the annual Halloween haunts that appear at Knotts, Six Flags, Universal Studios, ect.
Give me pumpkin everything. Give me bats and black cats and ghosties. Put Boo Berry and Count Chocula back on the cereal aisle! I love that every year someone is going to want to use a Ouija board, and cemeteries once more become a cool place to hang out.
But perhaps most of all? Halloween-themed fandom challenges. I am so excited for that, y'all. I used to participate all the time over on LJ, but I'm really excited to see what kind of exchanges and challenges will crop up here on DW around the Halloween season. I'm ready. Let's go. If you see one, you gotta tell me. That's the rule.
