Another Halloween Gone By

Oh, Halloween. I miss you already! It's by far my favorite holiday for a multitude of reasons, although this year I didn't get to enjoy the fabulous month of October too much. The whole moving in the middle of it kind of messed with me. But this year, the holiday weekend did not fall short of my expectations!

Even when I feel as dismally dark as possible about The Ex and as self pitying as a girl possibly can, all I need to do is think about all the fantastic people I was able to meet through him and I feel instantly better. Regardless of what happened between us, the friends I've made and people I've met through The Ex are just so wonderful, so fun, and so interesting that I can't help but feel like that makes all the hurt worth it.

This weekend was largely about that feeling. On Saturday I went to Rockford for the Gronlis' Halloween Bash. As always, it was amazing. I just love spending time with the Rockford crew! Getting up there more often is a definite priority now that I'm back in Illinois. On Sunday, I met up with Andy and Katie to see Rocky Horror! Festival 56, bearer of all great things in Princeton, did a midnight showing on Saturday (which I missed) and then a second one on Halloween. For being shown in Princeton, they busted it out on the audience participation, which I was not expecting. I love that about the Festival -- they don't water things down to make it more agreeable with P-town.

Anywho, although I spent a good chunk of time bitching and moaning (thanks for humoring me, Cheryl!) I also enjoyed the companionship that came with Ben, although I did so far more quietly. As is probably obvious, my friendships mean so, so, so much to me, and it makes this cheesepuff so happy to spend time with people who, in the past 2.5 years, have come to mean the world to her!
