It's funny to look back at Halloweens past, and think "would I ever have imagined myself here today?"
Take last year, for example. Halloween 2005 I was working in Portland, Maine with some of the nicest people I've ever met. We even had a kickball team in the local World Adult Kickball Association league. (Yes, kickball like you used to play in elementary school.)
Halloween 2004 I had been in Maine for a few months and had just gotten my job. Kinda still feeling out the crowd, if you will. I spent the actual holiday at a party at one of my friends from high school, who had also just moved home from away. My most random cousin was there, and was singing karaoke, too. The whole thing was odd.
Halloween 2003 I was in Los Angeles at my friend Nate's party, just figuring out how badly I wanted to leave LA. (It wasn't related to Nate or any of his roommates, I actually spent two other Halloweens there and had a great time.)
I assume next Halloween I'll be here, and then 2008? No idea.
