So... I know I did this last year, too, but I'm terrible at thinking of costume ideas. Apparently, Halloween at my college is a really big deal, and everyone goes crazy with the costumes and such (it's an art school). I have no idea what to dress up as, and there's less than a month before Halloween... Any ideas?

Well it depends, do you want something original or more of the traditonal Halloween garb? Traditional: Wraiths and charactors from your favorite books or movies ar always good for something a little more classic Original: well I'll have to think about that for a bit...

The problem with dressing as a character from a book/movie is that I have to actually look like them... Lol. That's the part I'm worst at. And then I have to decide which character. But I'll definitely consider that. I'm not exactly sure if I want traditional or original... It just has to be interesting.

Maybe you could be something or someone you like or find intriguing? Character or otherwise.

I'm not good with dressing up as people I know, lol. And the problem with book characters is that my favorite books tend to be not as well known. I'm considering the white witch from Chronicles of Narnia, but that could get expensive, and making my own costume is not an option (I'm terrible at it and too lazy to put in enough effort anyway ).

Oooo, that would be a really cool costume. It could be really simple to make or put together, lol. A long white dress, glitter or something if you want to represent frost. Powdered face and hair for a snowy effect. Some sort of ice wand, not sure how you'll find that. Doesn't sound that bad, except for that wand/ice stick. Oh, do you have a baton? Well, maybe like a little metal baton, or plastic doesn't really matter and then some sort of tall clear crystal on the end. What about a pirate? (The sword on you're sig gave me the idea. )

A pirate could be cool, too... Hmm...
But yeah, finding the dress would be the hard part. At home, it would be no problem. There's a great store that sells stuff really cheap only 20 minutes away. Here, though... I'm sure there's somewhere to buy a cheap white dress, but I have no clue where. I'd definitely use something glittery, and maybe buy little fake icicles to attach to the dress. And if I could get a really long stick and paint it white, I could attach icicles to that, too, maybe in a ring around the top or something. The only problem is finding what I need... Maybe I'll hit up Target.

Maybe you can ask a classmate if they know where you can find some of those items? You could always look at eBay, lol.

Haha. Yeah. Though I'm a weird size, so buying clothes online is always iffy. I'd have to find an upperclassman to ask about where to buy it... Most of the students here are out-of-state. I'm sure I'll figure something out, though. I could ask my roommate... She likes to shop. Or a friend and I could go find a place. It's NYC... There has to be something, lol.

Lol, yeah. You'll find something, no worries.

And if not the white witch, there's always a pirate.

Yeah... I have my grammar midterm on Tuesday, and my ecology midterm paper is due fairly soon, and I have to write a short story for my writer's studio midterm and I have no idea where to begin, and with my other classes I just have no idea. Lol. College is lovely.
