Halloween Likes and Dislikes Discussed

Do you like Halloween?

No.

What’s not to like?

I don’t like dressing up.

Why not?

It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Really? Why?

I don’t know it just does.

So you never dressed up in a costume?

I’m sure I did when I was a kid but I must’ve blocked them all out because I can only remember three costumes I’ve ever worn. And one was as an adult just a couple years ago for a friend’s Halloween party.

What’d you go as?

A punk. I had blue hair and nose and ear piercings and a t-shirt that I’d written “Helter Skelter” on and I wore some really baggy camo cargo shorts and a pair of cherry red Dr. Marten boots.

Cool.

It was cool. I actually did like that one. It was very engaging. People were really taken aback. Probably because I project myself as conservative and quiet but I’ve got a punk streak in me people don’t see.

What were the other two costumes you dressed up in?

Donald Duck and a ninja.

So you have a Donald Duck streak in you?

I guess I did when I was young.

Don’t you like the candy part of Halloween?

I don’t really care for candy. I mean, if it’s there I’ll probably eat some but I’d never make it an issue to purchase any.

I like Halloween. A lot of people like Halloween.

I know they do. That’s fine. I like being comfortable.
