Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays and the costuming is no small aspect of that to me.

I know for some, costuming is a lot of fun and so a costume is chosen very carefully, and for others costuming is an obligation and not much thought is put into it. But even if you don't care much about the costume, sometimes a lot of thought is still put into make the costume as convenient as possible.

So I would like to ask what you are going as for Halloween this year, and your reasons for it

I saw a plushie "octopus" at one of the craft fairs we were at recently, and asked my wife to crochet one in the most neon snot green yarn she can find. My plan is to attach a hair clip to it and have a brain slug for when we do any costume parties. If it doesn't use up the whole skein I'll ask her for a smaller one to push the gag a little further and offer it as a token of friendship from the brain slug planet.

It's mostly that I'm not always comfortable in costumes or large gatherings, and this would give me the latitude to still dress comfortably and also not seem like a downer if I'm not into the vibe of the party.
