Nobody had any really good events I could be excited about.

I didn't go anywhere. I didn't even hand out candy.

My mom and brother went out a bunch of places. When I asked if I could come with, without my costume* because it'd be extremely awkward going to stores and stuff she gave me this look. I tried to get her to say what she wanted, but she just kept giving me the look and left with my brother. I guess she took offense since she sewed it...? But yeah. Thanks, guys. confused I didn't, you know...want something...(They never asked me, even before that)

Not to be picky or anything since IIIIII can't sew, but it wasn't sewn very well either. D: The arms were so tight they cut off my blood circulation if they weren't at my sides. The double sleeves kept falling over the regular ones in odd ways and making me angry. The Orihime-like tips bent upwards freakily. Crushed velvet apparently makes me look fat, and was really too warm. [Okay, not a sewing problem] The skirt was too short and rigid. The shoulders were waaaay too big for my slender frame so they got safety pinned. It was probably the most uncomfortable thing I've worn since I had to wear the traditional Polish thing when I was like 10. Because of the way my mom did the lacing, I couldn't get it on or off either, without help.

In the end, it was off in about an hour because of problems with the grommets (?) and lace. The shoulders came pretty undone and I was concerned for my arms' safety besides, since I almost always have them up due to typing or cooking or what have you.

I was actually relieved taking it off and putting my regular clothes back on. I sorta felt like a bird, wriggling out of the sleeves and frantically undoing the lace in a desperate attempt to get it off. At first, I thought it wouldn't COME off because I kept undoing it with little to no effect. x____x;; My shirt ties in the back so I can adjust the tightness to my liking and take it off on my own, which is nice...my mom'll probably be pissed when she comes back and sees I'm not wearing it, even if I explain to her why.

I didn't even get any candy or dinner today. emo It got too late for cooking dinner and nobody in my household, including my little sister, went trick-or-treating. I guess because she had no costume, but this was probably the last year she'll be able to.
