I'm Maid Marian... sadly, none of my friends know who she is... Some don't even know who Robin Hood is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, maybe you could be a character from your favorite book?  More later.

You could be someone from a different time period...

Like, for example, my friend said she might go as

a girl from the 1940's. Funny hair, bright red lip stick,

all of that. :) Or any other time period, really... You

could even be a futuristic girl. ;D *shrugs* Just an

idea.

You could always be someone like Laura Ingalls or something. Not knowing what you look like, I can't have any great suggestions. :/

Do you want me to answer, because I'll probably make a really long post and get carried away...?  Well, tell me to shut up if you feel, but here I go! :D

GLOWSTICK PERSON!!! YAY! :D:D Wear black pants and a black shirt.  Buy as many glowsticks as you can find: necklaces, bracelets, earrings (oooh!), normal sticks, teeth things, etc.  On Halloween night, crack them and put them on (it helps to have a friend ((or two in my case, heehee)) help you put them on, if you're on a tight schedule): around your neck, wrists, and ankles, hanging on glasses, around your ears, belts, and sticks in shoelaces (hee hee!). :):) Much fun, but not a good idea if you don't like being the center of attention in the neighborhood.  Mistake on my part. :):)

Mime.  Fun! :) Put on the face make-up and everything to look like one, and wear all black clothes.  Come up with some sort of motion for trick-or-treat and thank-you, or simply wear a cardboard sign around you neck, the front one saying trick-or-treat and the back saying thank-you. :):) I saw two people in the neighborhood doing that once.

Hippie.  Just about the easiest costume there is, and you probably won't have to do any shopping for it.  Wear dark jeans (best with bell-bottoms, patches, or decorations!), a tie-dye shirt, hoop earrings or clip-ons, peace-sign necklaces and pins (peace, man!), and, if you want, sick sunglasses. :) I have the perfect hippie sunglasses.  If you want, braid your hair or wear a bandana, which is what I normally do, but I also have a [female] hippie wig.  My trick-or-treating bag was a jean purse I made.  REALLY sweet! :):)

Litter bug. HAHAHA fun one, but not many people understand it... :):) Connect trash (preferrably using a glue gun) onto a black shirt and black pants.  By trash, I don't mean dirty coffee filters or anything wet or smelly, but stuff like soda cans, candy wrappers, wrinkled up paper, etc.  Big things, like water bottles, tend to get in the way, though.  And connect everything REALLY well, because if you don't, the neighborhood will be filled with trash in early November. :) If you're tired of explaining it, make a sign to hang around your neck (using recyled letter from mail/newspapers/wrappers/etc.!) saying something like "I am a litter bug!".  Cute idea, and I did it a few years ago. :):)

I could go on for a while, but I need to leave, so bye! :D

My friend might go as the Grim Reaper riding on a mime's back :D She was just going to be the Grim Reaper, but I told her she should ride a mime. Everything's better with mimes :D I might actually go as a hippie. Or a dead prom queen :D i'm not sure yet..

Whenever we go camping, Kake and I set up the tent poles first, and then before we put the tent on, we work up this whole mime act where she locks me inside :D And then if there's any little kids wandering around the campsite, we perform it for them :D Much fun *grins*
