It is just about that time of year again, and Holloween is just around the corner. But I think since it is autumn here, it is spring in Australia and in the southern hemisphere, right? Anywho, I was just curious as to weather you all are going to dress up, or if you all are too old for that, and will just sit at home watching Hitchcock films and giving out candy. I myself plan on cross-dressing for halloween. It is too cold to wear a dress at night here, so I will only do it at school. For the trick or treating part, I am considering adorning myself in pirate garments. I am doing it because of the thrill and to scare the teachers and the really dumb, ignorant people, not because I am gay or anything. If you think about it, it is a subtle screwing of the system. If you all have any ideas or inputs for my costume, do tell.

Ooh, I can't wait to hear how that goes... Our school is having Spirit Week just before Halloween, and that'll be all the dressing up I'll be doing. :P -------------------- And that, my Leige, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped. -Sir Bedevere Denn du bist was du isst und ihr wisst was es ist. -Rammstein Posts: 154 | Registered: Tuesday, July 8 2003 07:00 |

I'll be sure to keep you all posted on the progress of my adventure. :D Speaking of spirit week, (and to take this topic a little off course) what do you all think about school spirit, and homecoming and such? In general, what do you all think of the social stucture of school? I personally think it is all blown out of proportion, overrated, and stupid. To some extent it is fun, but sometimes everything (like pep rallies) gets ridiculous. What do you all think? Also, another idea I have been toying with is applying Marx and his philosophy into a school enviorment. Like having the students instead of the workers being the means of production and stuff like that. What do you all think of this?

When I was a senior in HS school we lost our homecoming rally because we were too rowdy and booed the freshmen :D I believe that one of the seven or eight rallies could actually be called a success. On spirit week there was Pajama day- but that day anybody that showed up in PJs got sent home because they were violating school code. So- managment tends to suck, the world of highschool is small, but hey- try to have fun and to get into the college that you want to go to. That really seemed like the only important part of my senior experience. Yeah I know I went still farther off topic- Oh Well Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

I have made several changes to the title of this topic to make it broader. t m's devotee: Don't worry, that is what we spiderwebbers are all about, right? :P And as far as getting into a good college, I have no worries, my college applications already have some pretty impressive stuff on it. I will finish High School in like 2 years, and have a high GPA. But yes, many thanks for your advice. I have a plan to run for student council, and later, school board. The school system is so *jacked* it is not even funny, no, actually, it is so bad, it is hilarious. For example, I was suspended from school because I was accused of calling a noon duty aid a "stupid person". I did not do it, someone else in the crowd did, so my mom had to talk with the principal. There is SOO MUCH INJUSTICE!!! I FEEL LIKE EXPLODING SOMETIMES!!! I WAS ACCUSED OF SOMETHING I DID NOT DO!!! :mad: There is no respect for kids anymore. We are all looked down upon. Actually, now that I think about it, we have allways been looked upon as inferiors. :( EDIT: WE GOT POLLING AGAIN!!! HURRAY!!!

quote:The social structure of school, in my opinion, is one of the worst learning environments ever. My teacher has a poster in her classroom that says something to the effect of "Will anyone remember in 20 years?" I think students spend more time worrying about what other kids think of them than they do actually learning. Especally freshmen. And ever since the new parking lot regulations were put into place, people have sat around in class doing nothing but thinking of the slickest and funniest way to somehow cheat the system. But for the most part, social events at our school are relatively safe, and we are a school of over 2000. Pep rallies, only the underclassmen actually go to, anyone that drives uses the opportunity to leave school early. School dances, there are rent-a-cops everywhere, same with football games. Anyway, homecoming for us is just another football game with just a few nice ceremonies here and there. In my past three years of high school, I've never once attended a homecoming... well anything. (This year I'm in the marching band and kinda have to go.) But nobody wants to go to our football games either. While us cross country runners are making this our eleventh year of being undefeated in conference, our football team is quickly making this their fourth season of no real victories. So homecoming is nothing special for most people in our area. As for school spirit, you won't find much at our school. One of the most beautiful places in the country, but teenagers in this area are miserable. Here are your options for a Friday night: go to the movies (that's what most people do anyway)... that's really it unless you really want to hang out at the nearest mall, which is around an hour away. So mostly, people feel the same way about our school as they do the area they live in: they hate it. Most of them can't wait to get away from North Carolina and move somewhere fun. My grandpa says we should go back to separating guys and girls in schools again... -------------------- And that, my Leige, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped. -Sir Bedevere Denn du bist was du isst und ihr wisst was es ist. -Rammstein Posts: 154 | Registered: Tuesday, July 8 2003 07:00 |

I tend to like the social structure of my school. No football team, no cheerleaders. There is a homecoming, but all it is is the class who graduated last year come back and chill with the current seniors for a day. There isn't much pressure to conform and fit in, and there's plenty to do besides seeing movies and going to the mall (I <3 NY!). We have a spirit week as well. Maybe around a third of the school dresses in pajamas. Hardly anyone ever gets suspended for any reason. There tend to be very few jocks, as it's an intellectual school that admits by competitive examination only in seventh grade. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

Yea I live in NZ so it's spring...Also I plan on dressing up for halloween and scaring the crap out of someone in a hilarous fashon and getting it on video. I'm yet to figure out how though. Our school is really good, every one gets along with each other basically and if they don't then they just don't talk at all. I mean at primary i get into quite a few fights but in my entire time at high school I haven't gotten into one... Or maybe it's because I've grown like a foot... Either way my highschool is pretty good. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

Halloween gets more and more popular in Germany. But noone does this "trick-or-treat"-thing here. :( Although there are quite a lot Halloween-Parties in the bars and discos, you meet no costumed people in the streets. Besides me:   That's me on Halloween last year. I was costumed the whole day. And I scared some little children in the supermarket. :D Edit: BTW, do I still look like anyones mother?

If you really want to be a shocking cross-dresser, I think you should tattoo a face on the back of your head and get breast implants on your back. -------------------- AIM/Yahoo IM: Cavanoskus Scary artwork and Bad Poetry The Wildlife Research Team SnakeNetMetalRadio "We, who are about to die, salute you."

A good portion of the male population of my school dresses up as women on Halloween. For a few years in a row, I dressed up as the Grim Reaper. For the past couple years, though, I've worn a small, orange, paper top hat and said I was dressed up as Canadian. I'm the only one who finds it to be amusing though. I also wear the hat on Hat Day. This year, I'm going to strap a boot to my chest and hand out "fortunes" I pull out of said boot. The fortunes will be along the lines of "You will get a tattoo of a trout on your forehead." Again, I will be the only one amused by this. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'm not surprised that your the only one amused by you showing up to school in only an orange hat. Heh what kind of school is this that it's allowed? Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

t ADoS: Hmmm... a Canadian, eh? Nice one. Those people are just too civil for us Americans. Is an orange hat the extent of your costume? If you don't mind, I would like to borrow that concept and be a Canadian Cross Dresser myself. Although many guys might dress as women, I am going to distinguish myself from the rest of them by adding a dramatic plot twist to the whole day and my costume. quote:t m's devotee: I think I need to adjust your metaphor a little bit. I think it is more appropriate to say "Subtle- as the spitwad that dude in the back of the class hit you with yesterday to the nuke. :P -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Ehhh? Explain to me the subtle part of cross-dressing and maybe I will agree to let it pass- Not that spit wads are exactly subtle weapons either. Usually you think of a poison or a verbal attack when you think subtle but, eh whatever. Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

Sublte in terms of screwing the system. Cross dressing is more subtle than... say... taking the principal hostage. Or burning down the gym. I think you get the idea. -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

I am not allowed to go out and steal- *cough*, I mean ASK for candy from perfect strangers. And now that I'm older, I finnally have inginuty to make a cool costume. Pity that my boffer will be wasted on scaring the kids who come to my door.

If it wasn't for the fact that people in my town don't bother with Halloween, I might've been tempted to go out and laugh at people in really silly costumes. As it is, I'm just going to laugh. Skribbane is a substance found in E3/A3. It is highly addictive, but can raise your battle powers. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Only for short ammounts of time however.. and it begins to be less and less effective every time you use it. Ah the joys of drugs. It really should be possible to get of it. That would have been an interesting little side thing to Avernum Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

Why not start a poll on it? Well I'm just kidding but it is wonderful that we have them back. I havn't seen any topics using them yet though. Thought people would be exited enough that they would.. Marx to your school? Sure George, go ahead. Posts: 564 | Registered: Wednesday, April 14 2004 07:00 |

I don't usually do weird things like coming to school is pajamas or cross-dressing. I don't go trick-or-treating, either (the nearest oppupied residence is about three tenths of a mile, oh wait, half a kilometer, away. The next one is further still. The nearest town is about 20 miles [~35 km] away.) But we do have spirit week, though our football team is, urrr, not very good this year. :( BtW, is there really and real-life drug called skribbane or did Jeff just make it up? -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
