Friday Link Love 10/31

Oct 31 2008

It’s Halloween! On a Friday! Coincidence? I think not!

Halloween is probably one of my least favorite holidays. To begin with, I’m not a big fan of little kids. And I don’t like them ringing my doorbell, and when I don’t answer, they proceed to pound on the door with their little fists. Secondly, I think the idea of strangers giving out candy to little kids is a little creepy. Finally, don’t even get me started about those cheesy costumes! Yeah, I’m a "buzz kill", I know. The truth is that there are very few holidays I get excited about anymore.

We can still look on the bright side, though, because today is still Friday! That means a weekend of freedom, slacking off, and lots of naps. Even though the two days go by really fast, it still feels like a vacation. But by Sunday evening, I’m crying in depression that it’s almost over. There are times when I start feeling down Saturday night because I know that Sunday is close by.

Anyway, let’s just have a good Friday! And for all of you out there in InternetLand, have a happy and safe weekend!
