Tomorrow, a bunch of folks from my department will be dressing up for Halloween, and I was going to be one of them.
Was.
I thought I would go as Napoleon Dynamite, but seeing as how I left buying a costume to the last minute, I was shiite of luck trying to track one down. I went to the mall, I braved the nightmare that was Party City, and I tried a last ditch effort at Target. Blech...no luck.
I had another idea, too, as going as a wall flower. I was going to design a big flower that I'd wear over my head, and if anyone asked what I was, I'd flatten myself against a wall. Heh. Also, to further add to the mix, I thought it'd be clever to write a sign "There are perks." It's an indirect reference to a book that was popular a few years ago, "The Perks to being a Wallflower."
All to no avail. I had the idea but not the ability to implement it. D'oh! Remnants of construction paper everywhere.
Ech. I think I might dress all in black and go as a mime. At least I won't have to explain why I didn't dress up...I could always mime a shrug.
If I get truly desparate, I may just end up buying an Elvis costume tomorrow at lunch I saw at the mall. Dressing up as Elvis and having to do my God-awful impersonation...it'll be my penitence for procrastination.
