Halloween

Tonight is Halloween...I've never really been big on Halloween, but the last couple of years have been really fun. I have had the chance to be really creative and come up with really amazing costumes. I think what I've liked so much is that it has brought me back to my creative side. I used to be so creative, and came up with such amazing, fun things when I was a kid. As I've become older, I've stopped creating so much. I have become kind of boring.
In fact, when I was in 5th grade (now this will give you an idea of how much of a suck up I was when I was a kid) I created puppets out of construction paper and yarn, wrote an entire puppet show about how to "Just Say NO" to drugs, and proposed it to the counselor at my elementary school so that I could go around to the younger grades and teach them about saying no to drugs. That is the kind of thing that I used to do all the time. I haven't been creative like this for years, and Halloween is allowing me to be creative again.
I've missed using the right side of my brain. I don't want to let it go to waste anymore. This is part of the reason I have started writing this blog. I may not ever write anything worthy of publishing, but I will get my words out and start letting my creativity flow.
This year I'm going as Frodo from the Lord of the Rings, which is appropriate since one of my nicknames is Hobbit. I will be practicing the Hobbit dance for this particular evening as I haven't done it in quite some time.
Happy Halloween everyone!
