Of course this year, since I’m only 8 months old, I don’t really get to benefit from all that Halloween has to offer. No candy, no roaming the neighborhood egging houses, no Eyes Wide Shut type house parties, and no Halloween punch from a bowl oozing dry ice clouds. I guess I will have to just hand out candy.
As you have probably noticed, I've decided to dress as a peacock. I didn't really have much choice. Teal highlights my eyes, crushed velvet is soft on my skin, and strutting my stuff is one of my specialities.
With all this talk of dressing up, it begs me to consider what type of "costume" I would wear as a grown up. I'm not talking about dressing up as one of the Spice Girls (ironically... obviously) at a college party. I'm talking about what career path I would like to take. Mom and Dad have been encouraging me to become a physicist-supermodel-Olympian. Obviously I have the brains, beauty, and strength to achieve this but lately I have been enamoured with electricity. Maybe not electricity specifically, but the wires and plugs that hold electricity. Sure Mom and Dad try and hide the wires and tell me I could be killed by sticking my tiny fingers in plugs..... but I seem to gravitate to these areas. Sure it could be just curiosity but I would like to think there is more. Therefore, I've decided to become an electrical engineer. Sure, Dad says those guys are dorks. Sure, I may be the only girl in this course at school. Sure, by the time I'm in university robots will probably run the world... but maybe I can pull some wires or plugs at Skynet.
Happy Halloween!!
