I mean, probably I won't dress up for Halloween. It's on a Tuesday, you know. And I work this Friday night.

The plan is to be "emo." I even tried out painting my fingernails black last weekend. Probably I could use black colored hairspray for the full effect. Some emo glasses and clearly heavy black eyeliner. I was thinking maybe bright red lipstick could symbolize all my feelings. Tight jeans. An awesome band shirt. Maybe some patches. Studded belt. Ideally I'd wear converse sneakers, but I don't know how easily those are to come by, and I don't know if I could do it, even for Halloween.

"Emo" is short for emotional and I think is often used to describe punk rockers who pour their hearts into their awesome music. They are so original. They don't like mainstream music because it isn't about real things. Like brokenhearts. And death. And if one of their songs turns mainstream, well, they liked it before everyone else. They know what it's like to experience true love and have it ripped from your insides. They scream about it in their emo songs. Then they slit their wrists.

Probably the emo kids have the lockers by the cafeteria.

If I were emo for halloween, I'd want to throw out random song lyrics. Except I don't actually listen to emo music. So, really, I'll stick with Todd from Wedding Crashers. "Death, you are my bitch lover."

And if you're really emo, you have a myspace page (whoopsies. Charlie 2, Soo 0).
