It's that time of year again, where we all get to role play without being judged! This week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl reflects on the ten people you're likely to meet up with at the neighborhood Halloween party.
1
The overachiever - This is the person whose costume is so put together, that it makes you feel badly you even tried to dress up. You know this costume has been in the works since last Halloween, and many, many practice runs have gone into its execution. This person also has a house that looks like it came straight out of the Pottery Barn Halloween catalog (ditto for every other decorating holiday).
2
The one whose costume no one understands - This is that uber-intelligent friend, who is always making jokes that only he/she/they laugh at, because no one else gets what they're talking about. It could be a pun, a play on words, whatever. But just looking at the costume makes no sense, and leads you to get another drink. #punnynotfunny
3
The slutty bunny - This is the man or woman who feels that Halloween is the best time to show off all that hard work they do at the gym. With no concern for the fact that there are young children still involved and maybe in the house, this person is letting it all hang out to be noticed and admired.
4
The cutsie duo - This is the couple who finds an adorable matching outfit that serves as affirmation of their deep love and affection for each other. No regard is given though to the multiple arguments they endured to agree on this outfit, each secretly seething when they had to concede their original idea. They probably also fought in the car on the way over. But they look perfect. Together.
5
The one who hates dressing up - This is the douche who shouldn't bother coming to a Halloween party. Or any party, probably. We get it, anti-conformity. anti-establishment, blah, blah, blah. Lighten up and have some fun.
6
The cosplay people - When these people walk in, you know they did not need to go to a store for costumes, because they get their freak on regularly. These are also the people that give your spouse the idea that dressed-up play acting would be fun to do regularly, to which you are not in agreement.
7
The meatheads - These are the people who have accumulated so much sports memorabilia, they feel they never need to purchase a Halloween costume. You will find them desperately searching for a television throughout the party, trying to make sure their bets are being won. The host has extra Natural Light on hand for them as well.
8
The movie character - These are your high school actors and actresses who had once hoped for Hollywood or Broadway, but instead became a pencil pusher whose only outlet for unfulfilled dreams is Halloween (oh, and karaoke night). It could be the latest movie character or the role that got away. Either way, it's cliche.
9
The politician - This is the person who not only dresses like a political figure, but also feels the need to spew political views at you all night long. And these only get more animated as he/she/they drink more. Avoid this person at all costs. Everyone is hoping he/she/they just pass out in a corner somewhere.
10
Satan - This person is the most debaucherously intoxicated MoFo at the party. Satan is already the ruler of Hell, so there are no consequences. He/she/they drinks the most, pops the most pills or snorts the most whatever. Why not? What happens at the Halloween party stays at the Halloween party, right?
There are probably a few that I have missed. Would love to hear some of the characters you've encountered over the years. And if you resemble any of the above, no worries, I'll probably still drink with you.
Spooky Brew
