Happy Halloween! It's Halloween here already, so I can start acting like a maniac and blaming it on the day before anyone else! Oh wait, I already do that! And how will I be celebrating? A full day of lectures and a tour of the Red Light district in Amsterdam--ooh, scary...
I can go trick or treating before anyone else can--haha!!! Except I don't have a costume, and few people celebrate it here. Except for the little girl I heard screaming at her mom last week "Mommy, Halloween costume, I want a Halloween costume!" in Dutch, so I don't know how I picked it up, but I did. Iveta has promised that we can trick or treat her room, and she will have candy for us, but that is just to make sure we don't get bored and "trick" her. I have plans for the evening (not Halloween) but otherwise I would "trick" regardless of the "treat." It had better be a good treat, that's all I have to say. I miss the wonderful commercialism of Halloween, because I really want some Pillsbury Halloween cookies with the pumpkins or bats on them! Just give me a pumpkin cookie cutter and some cookie dough, and I'll be a happy camper! I already have the chocolate sprinkles for decoration--the Dutch seem to be obsessed with them! And I desperately want to carve a pumpkin! If I didn't have plans for Wednesday, I would hunt down a pumpkin and carve it in the hostel, and make pumpkin soup with the insides, and put the jack-o-lantern in the window of the hostel. Or if I couldn't do it in the hostel, I would carve it on a street corner. In a country that has legalized marijuana, I figure I wouldn't be any further out there if I carved a pumpkin on the a street corner!
