Yay for Halloween! twisted
Yay for Ninjas! ninja
Yay for Pirates! pirate
Yay for too much sugar ((sugary kids cereal rocks!)) and too little sleep!!! xd
Anyway, if anyone has any interesting Halloween plans, I'm sure everyone would love to hear about it. Especially if you're going as the Doctor or a companion. Or a Dalek. Gotta love the Daleks.
Uh, I think that’s all I have to babble about.
Yay Halloween! domokun

Happy Halloween!
As I am still recovering from effects of films-alcohol-chippie at one in the morning last night I've decided to stay in for Halloween and eat the big parcel of sweets my mum sent me from Scottieland. And listen to loud music.
And play on Gaia of course! xp

Actually, the dressing up came from a Mexican (Or some such Central American) tradition of dressing up to scare off demons.
Nice costumes, everyone, by the way.

Red Bino cures Zurg.
It makes you Gaian again.
I spent halloween being cannon fodder for the aliens at the Mansion, and then getting items.
Oh, and stocking up on Zurg Energy Drink and Red Bino so I can sell it later. xp
Halloween sucks here. Once again, just a bunch of neds across the street. They weren't even in costume!
(Actually they could have been. I just thought they looked naturally horrific.)

Here's your wikipedia reference: Quote: The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before "All Hallows' Day"[1] (also known as "All Saints' Day"). The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints Day from May 13 to November 1. In Ireland, the name was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, it is still a well-accepted label. The festival is also known as Samhain or Oíche Shamhna to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish and Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit. Samhain (pronounced /ˈsˠaunʲ/) is the word for November in the Irish language. The Scottish Gaelic spelling is Samhainn or Samhuinn (for the feast), or an t-Samhain (for the month). The same word was used for a month in the Celtic calendar, in particular the first three nights of this month, with the festival marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. A modernized version of this festival continues today in some of the traditions of the Catholic All Souls' Day, the secular Halloween, and in folk practices of Samhain itself in the Celtic Nations and the Irish and Scottish diasporas. The name is also used for one of the sabbat feasts in the Wiccan wheel of the year. The Gaulish calendar may have divided the year into two halves, the "dark" half, beginning with the month Samonios (the October/November lunation), and the "light half", beginning with the month Giamonios (the April/May lunation). The entire year appears to have been considered as beginning with the "dark" half, so that the beginning of Samonios may be considered the Celtic New Year's day Don't ask. So, it's the Celtic New Year. But it depends, because southern hemisphere would be harvest. April Fools was never the Pagan New Year. No pagan holiday coincides with April Fools at all.

May not have been pagan, but i'm pretty sure it was. 1st April was some sort of new years and the Christians started celebrating it on 1st january, and would play pranks on the pagans, it became known and 'April fool' or 'April fish' day.
And all saints day is 2nd november domokun
