HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

I LOVE Halloween. The poor citizens of South Africa do not have Halloween. I weep for them. Not really, though, because that would make my Disney mascara run. I am being a brunette version of Alice in Wonderland. I don't do blonde.

I'm so excited that I shaved my legs for the occasion. I haven't really shaved since I have been in Baltimore. There are two reasons for this. 1) I am very cold generally so my legs are rarely bare, and 2) There is nobody to impress here (and nobody who I am concerned about judging me) and so no need for silky smooth legs. It has become very clear to my parents that the only reason I shave my legs is for other people, and they are very upset. I spent all of middle school lobbying to be allowed to shave. They had outlawed it because their feminist consciences didn't want me to bowing to the social norms of society. I insisted that I wanted to shave for myself, not just to fit in. I was lying. But with good reason. Middle school is hard to begin with, and not shaving if you're a girl makes it literally ten times harder. They let me eventually. Now they are disappointed in my weakness. Thats actually fine. I don't really care. I may not be as evolved as them when it comes to embracing feminism but at least I am ahead of them when it comes to equal acceptance of homosexuals. Not that they are not accepting. They are democrats all the way and support equal rights under the law, but they don't know how they feel about the church sanctioning homosexuality. Hmph.

Yay Halloween!
