^ should have another Sims 2 day very soon - this time for game play
< would never be a zombie, considering being Dib again (as I didn't get to the hair last year - though don't know that I'd get to it this year either, in which case might be a pirate again, because at least that's a complete costume).
v will be dressing up as a muffin for halloween.

((OMG JK, I've been Dib for Halloween before too! XD As far as the hair goes, I found just dyeing my hair black, putting it in a ponytail, then buying one of those Halloween black cat tails (the ones with wire in them, so you can bend them), and bending that into the zigzag pattern and clipping my ponytail around it worked best to make the Dib hair.))
^ Is awesome for being Dib < Doesn't play Sims so much anymore, for some reason v Will find it super simple to exit the forest!
((I have curly hair, about shoulder length, which doesn't like to cooperate with most products - so that might be difficult. If I have time I'll try and think of something. I did think wire would be the best way to go about it, the cat tail idea is cute. Maybe I'll just get a black beanie and cover my hair, and then affixiate the tail to that. See how that looks. Because most ideas that revolve incorporating my actual hair will probably result in epic fail).
^ Is also awesome for being Dib < does not want to exit the forest! v has 9 lives

((Oh, I see. XD Well then yes, the black beanie idea should work fine. :3))
^ Has curly hair, about shoulder length (oooh, I totally stole that one!) < Is a Razorclaw Shifter >3 v Should read Uzumaki
^ (hmm...Uzumaki sounds familiar for some reason) should elaborate on the particulars of Uzumaki a bit in order to further entice readers of this thread (particularly me)
< is a panda pretending to be a dolphin pretending to be a rocket ship
v should buy body paints and go nuts

My heart is closed up and I feel it crumbling down...
^ Really should read Uzumaki! =o (I've read it before and it's sooooo awesome! It's about a town that's cursed by spirals and all kind of weird things start happening that involve spirals. It's so weird! @o@)
< Has two days off from work so I'll be around a lot. =D
((Yes, as Kitsune Warrior said, it's an awesome horror manga about a town cursed by spirals. :3 It's a relatively short series, and lots of weird s**t goes down, that all has to do with spirals, like people being too slow, so turning into snails (spiral shells), pregnant women acting like mosquitoes by drinking the blood of others to nourish their children (swirly beak mosquitoes use to drink), a lighthouse bursting in fire every night (spiral staircase). It's a really good, deep series, and revolves around a girl named Kirie dealing with the spirals that seem to follow her and her family/friends around everywhere, along with her boyfriend, Shuuichi, who is pretty much insane. XD The name might sound familiar to you, since Uzumaki is also Naruto's family name. XP))
^ Is awesome for having read Uzumaki < Is finally feeling better from being sick v Wants to read Uzumaki now

^ Is also awesome for reading Uzumaki. =D I haven't met anyone else who's read it before now. XD
Really does want to read Uzumaki again now! D; >
v Will enjoy Uzumaki if they read it.
[spoilers]
I didn't really think that Shuuichi was insane. I think it's just that he's more sensitive about it than Kirie was. If I remember correctly, he was actually commuting to a school in a different town so it could be that since he often left and escaped from the weird aura of the town, he felt it more when he returned. I think it was just that he was freaked out randomly 'cause he knew, but there was nothing he could do about it, y'know? He wasn't really insane, just unnerved, I think, after everything that happened. Especially when you consider what happened to his parents. -shudders- I'd be a little unhinged too if something like that happened to me. ^-^; But yeah, he was my favorite character. >> 'Cause even though he wanted to leave, he stayed behind to take care of Kirie and I thought that was so sweet. TTwTT Also, he caused some unintentional humor. (I don't know why, but I laugh when I read the part when Azami tricks Shuuichi into going to the park and when Kirie wanders in, he's suddenly appeared all the way across the park and up a tree? xD;; )
[/spoilers]
Sorry about the long post, but I haven't talked to anyone who's read it before so ended up splurging a little from lack of talking about it. >->;; On another note, there's also a movie version of Uzumaki, but it's definitely not as good as the manga. They didn't have the sad, yet beautiful ending that the manga had and the actor that plays Shuuichi weirds me out for some reason. o-o;; Anyway, if you want to see it, I think it's on YouTube. ^-^
((Oh cool you made the spoilers invisible ha! *is easily amused*...mkay well didn't read those...but ok I'll keep it in mind. And yea I realized I've seen a Shuuichi before but until you said that I forgot about Uzumaki being Naruto's surname. Uchiha is the only family name I routinely remember from that series))
^ has finally emerged from a pile of snail spirals < found a power outtage at work to be most inconvenient v wants to cuddle something

Oh, I know Shuuichi wasn't really insane. XD I totally agree with your analysis on him. I was really just referring to the way he acts sometimes, how he acts all insane. It's adorable, really, and I also cracked up when he was suddenly in the tree. XD But yes, Shuuichi is my favorite character as well. :3
It really is nice to find someone else who's read the manga. XD My roleplay buddy was the one who linked me to it, and she really liked it too. Though the morning after I finished it, I suddenly woke up coughing, and the first thing I saw when I sat up was the spirals all over my Nightmare Before Christmas blanket. Gosh that was terrifying. XD And OMG, I heard about the movie and now totally need to go watch it! =D @JK: Shuuichi is the main character in Gravitation, and also the given name of Kurama's human form in Yuu Yuu Hakusho, so that might be why it's familiar. XD))
^ Is a spiral fetus? o.o < Wants to see The Big Gay Musical v Will go look for Uzumaki on One Manga
^ Is overwhelmed by stuff < haha, alright alright, I'll look it up as soon as I have more free time v fantasizes about winning dancing with the stars (which also implies elaborate fame fantasies).

(xDD I know what you mean! My sister and I were just frightened of spirals for the first few days after we read that manga. And when you pay attention, there really are spirals everywhere! D; )
