Happy Halloween

It's been a while since I dressed up for Halloween. As a small child I remember longing to be a pretty fairy princess and ending up in a sack-type dress that had been dyed pink. An elastic band secured a pointy hat with puff-paint stars on it to my head. Another year I remember being too sick to wear my pretty butterfly costume around the neighborhood to collect candy, instead I lay on the couch and heard the rest of the neighborhood kids come to our door.

So Halloween has never been my favorite holiday. The anticipation never seems to live up to the actual event.

This year, though, I decided to get into the spirit (or rather, was persuaded to get into the spirit by my roommates) and I went to a costume party, in a costume and everything.

However, in less you are familiar with the TV show The Office, you wouldn't really know that I was dressed up at all. That's the best kind of costume, really—one that is readily available in the closet. My biggest difficulty in becoming Pam was trying to make my hair curl. I seem to remember that being a problem when I dressed up as a fairy princess as well.

Pam, Ryan, Kelli, and Angela

I was a beginning-of-third-season Pam. Jim was nowhere to be found.

It has, in fact, been only two years since you dressed up for Halloween. I seem to a remember a certain Miss Hermione Granger crashing JMC professor's houses with a group of Optimist miscreants. But I'll give you a pass on that one.

Are you disparaging my costume making abilities???

Did you not see that I mentioned my pretty butterfly costume?

And I do remember Teri's witch costume and my princess costume being pretty similar that year—the only difference being the color of RIT dye we used. That's all I'm saying....

You did a pretty good job on this year's costume -- I knew immediately who you were supposed to be when I looked at that picture. :)

I'm sad that Halloween is not your favorite holiday on several levels. But the fact that you dressed up as Pam and did an amazing job of it will perhaps make up for it.
