Wishing you all a Happy Halloween.
Hope you had a great time. So what did you do for Halloween?

I went to the toy store, bought a cap-Tommy Gun.
Went back home, got a tan trenchcoat, put on a shirt, tie, pants, belt, and nice shoes.
I walked outside, waiting until a large bunge of trick-or-treaters walked by, pulled out my Tommy Gun and fired it into the air.
The looks on their faces...

I stayed home and felt sorry for myself. 
I earned some money by re-painting letters on gravestones, went to down a few brews with my friends, came back home with my girl. Stayed a while 
went to the pub.
On the way back from her house a couple of blocks away I had to drag some stupid ass guy to the bus stop because he was too drunk to walk, or even to talk. That's what you get if you drink 1L of vodka without eating anything.

I did nothing out of ordinary. We don't have Halloween in Croatia.

My wife and I had a great time. At my University there is a historical section that is a residence for many of the students. On Halloween the area is filled with kids. My wife had fun doing make up on me to look like a vampire, and apparently it scared quite a few of them. So we just handed out treats. Much fun. Then went home, ordered in, snuggled a bit and watched scary movies.
Halloween is my favorite among holidays. Kids get to dress up in scary outfits, go house to house for candy from strangers, costume parties, scary stuff abounds. It's like a holiday for horror. Sure its commercialized, but what isn't?
I really have little sympathy for all those religious nuts who are trying to get it banned.

Halloween is pretty new in Belgium. We didn't use to celebrate it at all, although I recently found out that it actually originated in Europe (apparently, it's a Celtic holiday) and was introduced in America by Irish settlers. Hm. Anyway: I didn't celebrate it. I'm not totally against it (if people have fun, it can't be a bad thing), but it is seriously commercialized around here and it reeks of yankees (which is a bad thing, imo).
I think that I actually had a nervous breakdown last night. I was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea and a biro and a piece of paper, and all of a sudden I started crying. Bad case of nostalgia, me thinks. I kind of saw the ghost of my ex-girlfriend running around the apartment and it was just too much for me. Couldn't stop crying. I then started drinking, I got drunk and went to bed. Got up at 5 AM and threw up. Pitied myself and went back to bed.
When I woke up, it was already 2 PM and I looked like shit. I guess that's what I did on Halloween. Pretty sad, huh...

Trouble in mind, Welsh. You probably know by now that my girlfriend left me some time ago, but that's not all. I also lost my job a few months ago, I'm on the dole now and I just can't seem to find a new job (I'm not the only one, though, there's some sort of crisis going on in Belgium - there's about 10 million Belgians and more than half a million of them is without a job, and it just keeps getting worse). Can't pay some bills I have lying around here. No luck in love either (had a date last Thursday, but kind of blew it). I just feel completely fucked. I'm not sleeping very well, the writing isn't going to good lately because I have to deal with all that other crap. Nah, I'm gonna have to get my shit together pretty soon.
Bwah...
Ah man, doesn't sound good. But never give up!! I know the feeling of loosing a loved one, alas it's a part of life and you do gain some strength of it.. What you have to remember now, is not to try to get someone just to fill a void in your life. Use your friends/family for that, then things will fall in place later on... Believe me, been there done that...
Oh and I worked last night, then I went to a party. wasn't all that good and now I'm back at work again..sigh... Oh well, upcoming Friday I'm getting my Audi TT !! 8)

Sounds tough bud. I sympathize.
Back when I was in the private sector I had to pull all sorts of stuff to make ends meet. Unemployment in the US really sucks and it was economic hard times. I ended up working "off the books" in a deli!
Have you tried any foreign newspapers? One lead I had was to write for the Straits Times of Singapore. It's a great job for an aspiring writer- you get to write a lot, improve your talent and skills and its a paycheck, plus you develop a broader world view.
As for losing a girlfriend, you know you can't write heartbreak until you feel it. Don't let it get you down. Someone better will come along sooner or later.

Blade; best of luck, dude.
Odin; Audi TT is a stupid posh car, I hate them
As for Halloween, it's not a Dutch holiday. It's never been a Dutch holiday, and I'm loathing the fact that it's being imported just to make another quick buck. Seriously people, what's the world coming to?
Though I don't mind people dressing up and having fun, but we had St. Martin's for that. Apparently, everybody forgot about that holiday...
In any case, I ignored Halloween.

Oh and Blade, sorry if I somehow rubbed it in with the Audi comment. No offence man!

Halloween as kind of lost its touch around where i live. Its not magical anymore like it was when i was little.
Now we just get 10-15 year old kids who see it as a way to make some easy money. They don't get dressed in costumes or anything and when you tell them to go away they hail abuse at you. I mean, what the hell is wrong with society?
Oh well, i didn't do much for halloween. Wen't out for drink.
Now bonfire night is in 4 days and that should be a little better.

I'm sorry to hear that Blade. Just remember, your situation is not permanent and things will always get better.. though I know how difficult it is to believe during hard times.
As for Halloween - I dressed up in my usual gothy velvet dress, lacy gloves, lace choker, etc. I put on the dark makeup as usual, and I love to answer the door with Dini around my neck. The kids really get a kick out of that - they come from different neighborhoods sometimes just to see him.
Then I went to my boyfriend's place - it was our one year, and we decided to have a halloween anniversary. He took me to the dining table where he had set up black candles, wine, and the fine china, and gave me roses. He had made me dinner, it was really beautiful.
We watched Nightmare Before Christmas after that, a bit of Rocky Horror, then Red Dragon (the two latter ones were on TV).
I needed this with my boyfriend - lately we've been on horrible terms, and we even broke up a couple of times this week. This kind of patched things up (for awhile, at least).

Hey Kat-
Sounds like a nice evening. Hope things continue to get better with you and the boyfriend. Speaking as a husband, sometimes its good when the girl in a guys life reminds me of how important she is.
Oh, and there is a pic dedicated to you in the Who is Sexy post.
