Of course skribbane is real, ben. I seriously doubt anyone could come up with all those symptoms and stuff.

My sister used to do skribbane, but she got caught once and stopped so she didn't get in anymore trouble.

I never wore a costume to school in high school, as my school had an exceedingly strict policy on wearing costumes in class and would send anyone home who was the slightest bit non-compliant. I haven't gone trick-or-treating since something like sixth grade. In my high school years I would put on my beloved fox costume (a relic from third grade) and scare children while handing out candy to them at my door.

My past two years here at college I've dressed up in the same old fox costume and gone with my friends to lame "parties" organized by University organizations. This year, however, we plan to entirely avoid such events, and instead find a decent party where we can actually get plastered and enjoy ourselves. I have no idea as to what my costume will consist of this year, but I suppose I'll figure it out in a few days.

Not exactly. I outgrew the body of the costume long ago, but the head, paws, and nose mask still fit. I wear these elements of the costume with pants and a long-sleeve shirt, and I've got a pretty nice anthropomorphic fox costume.

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.
I also wear normal clothing, of course. Sure, you can borrow it. But it's a small hat, and no straps, and frequently falls off. Of course you can change that, but it's not as fun. My hat has a rim with a diameter of about five inches, and the can-shaped part of the hat is about the height of a tin can, and about three inches in diameter.

I personally like the Halloween holiday, probably because I'm a depressed teenager with serious mental problems. Alas, life goes on. At least that's what people tell me.

Oh sure- life goes on- and on- and ever downwards. You think your twisted and warped now? Hmm.. I thought I was twisted and warped a couple of years ago- Yet I sure seem a lot "worse" now but my "self-opinion" is higher- so yeah.
Hmmm. The one amusing spirit week that my HS had, had a day called "multicultural day" or something like that- A guy showed up as cupid and got expelled. The amusing thing was seeing all the yard duties running around after him getting shot with fake arrows-

I'd have never guessed! :P

Our school last year during Spirit Week actually had a day called 'Gender Bender' day. Guys dress as girls, vise versa. But then like a week before, some stupid parents who didn't want their precious children to turn into cross-dressers complained to the school, and it was changed to 'Colorful Hat' day or something lame like that. Most people still did the gender bender thing, many guys taking it as far as shaving their legs and arms. Eew.

A fox, Stuggie? I like it. I'm trying to think of a good animal costume to wear this year - bear, maybe? Gorilla's been done, unfortunately. Otherwise I'll end up wearing a mage robe my mom made for me and wishing it weren't so warm.

How does your school's track team do against Saratoga, Apollyon, do you know? I know Saratoga goes to plenty of national competitions. Running seems to be our specialty. We're not bad at football, either - I think our record works out to something like 2:1.

Homecoming isn't bad here, in my opinion. All the "counter-culture" people "rebel" against it, of course, but on Friday before the game you'll see a sea of blue and white, even if they're all upperclassmen preps and jocks. On Tie-die Day I wore my dad's shirt from the 70's which apparently made me look like a flamer, but hey, it was only one day. The senior and junior floats were great, and winning the football game made us feel pretty good about ourselves. I'm not sure I would've gone normally, but I had to play bass drum in the marching band. It wasn't too bad - I was in two pictures in the newspaper the next day, the crowds loved us, and it felt good to have control over the whole band - but... well, I'm not made for walking with a big drum strapped to my torso. Eh. I survived.

I'm not too pleased with our social structure, but then, I'm not too pleased with society in general. We've got many distinctive social groups, each of which thinks they're better than all the others, but there's not much in the way of open hostility. They all say they hate each other, but they tend to not practice what they preach, thankfully. I'd say there are as many intra-group fights as there are inter-group fights. Not the best, but acceptable. Saratoga's supposedly one of the best schools in the county, and I can understand that.

Last weekend, I was dressed up in a two-piece suit and tie for a forensics tournament. The suit was black, the shirt was black, and the tie was wine-red. This was an exceptional occasion. Generally, I wear the same thing irrespective of weather, fashion, or 'spirit days': two one-color or simple-pattern shirts, one smaller than the other, and both dominated by a subdued (dark blue, gray, black, &c) color, and scrub pants of varying shades of blue.

I hang around with everyone; countercultures are nothing to me. I defy categorization, and it does not defy me. I know everyone worth knowing and have pissed each of them off at least once. I listen to rap, I listen to emo, I listen to classic rock. I write poetry and I write prose and I write it as I speak, with run-ons sometimes and fragments sometimes, and the occasional veiled point to Shakespeare, and the occasional metaphor, but each in moderation. I am the smartest person you have ever met, and I am not afraid to say it. I am not afraid to plan for it.
I am what you would call passively ambitious. I plan for my future by not planning for my future; I am easily the most Zen person in the tri-county area, which is exceptional because I believe the tri-county area includes Orange County.
I am raffish and I make a habit of acclimatizing everyone around me to seduction. I gave myself a nickname and that nickname is Freaky Rico and people generally use it.
I have no credit card, I don't drive, I've never smoked, I don't drink, and the closest I come to drug use is albuterol. I don't go to concerts, I don't go to movies, I don't go to parties, and I don't consider myself a Democrat. I am a professional gadfly; I eat red meat, I drink Snapple, and I speak French mais pas tres bien. I plan to ask a girl to the prom with a salacious limerick, and I'm not sure if we've ever been properly introduced. I am half of the band 'Porno the Magnificent'; the other half is from Seattle. I don't take notes and I still ruin the curve for everyone else. I'd say that I'm most proud of the fact that I can make anyone -- Hindu, Vegan, Atkins, you name it -- a damn fine sandwich.

I am Alexander Charles Kyras, and some day my smiling face will gaze down upon every public square.

Halloween seems to be relatively popular in England, although not as much as in America. Regardless, I have no interest in it and since I live in cul-de-sac in a village, I don't tend to get trick-or-treaters knocking on the door.

That said, I will be cross-dressing next week, but it's for a friend's themed party and thus doesn't really count.

As concerns school spirit, I've never seen much on those lines here. Partly because we're in no way in the one school in a town paradigm. We look down on most of the other schools because we're smarter than them, we tend to belong to different social groupings to them, we get sworn at by them a fair bit (often with some cause, I'm proud to say,) but there's no real feeling that the whole school is together.

We're here solely because of our intelligence and we're here to get good results. Nobody's really bothered about the rugby team except those at training sessions and there is a Christmas ball but there are large numbers who don't bother.

There isn't really that much grouping amongst the pupils either. The whole school comes to about 700 people and my year to about 100. Everybody knows almost everybody else and since we wear uniforms (suits in my year, but it's still a uniform) there isn't the differentiation by appearance. If you dislike someone, you usually dislike him as a person rather than for what he represents and the people included in this dislike will at most be his closest friends.
