Who do I want to be?

Halloween is coming up and I've been trying to figure out costumes. Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking. 

"You're 23 and still dressing up?? Why? Are you even doing anything on halloween or just sitting at home in your elaborately planned costume with no where to go like so many halloweens past?" 

Well you bring up a good point but I will in fact be doing something this halloween, other than waiting by the door with a bowl of half eaten candy... so don't worry, its totally cool to be planning a costume. 

Besides, I love halloween. For as long as I can remember I've looked forward to the one day each year that I can dress up and be someone else for a change.

As you can see this affinity for costumes began at an early age, as with most American children.

I was the pumpkin...

The cowgirl...

The sheep...

The...Alex Mack? That was not my best costume idea ever.

But I guess I never really grew out of it. It's just fun, whether I'm doing my thumb dance or casting a spell as fictional Hogwarts student Cho Chang 

   

Or skating around as a bunch of grapes...

Or dressed up as a dalmatian pretending to be ten years younger so I could trick or treat with my brother...

Or...whatever I'm doing there..

Or my personal favorite...

Do you get who I am? Here, maybe this will help....

Obviously I have a long legacy of halloweens to live up to. Which brings me to my current question. What should I be this year?

So far I've considered, a spartan cheerleader (w/ Brady), ketchup, the crazy cat lady, sarah palin, a teenage mutant ninja turtle, and a penguin. Just to name a few.

In an effort to create a 'couples costume' I tried to convince Brady to be a penguin wrangler but he insists that no such occupation exists. So his costume is still very open to suggestions.

Maybe an adorable non-threatening ninja?
