Halloween in Spain. IT’S NOT THE SAME! I miss Halloween in the states. Halloween is a holiday that everyone can participate in, no matter their age.
If you’re a child, then you look forward to being a fictional character. I was always a witch or a devil. Ironic? Maybe... The child dresses up for two: Their mom and themselves. I’ve heard this conversation too often, “Mom, I want to be a princess. Oh honey, that’s cute, but you’re going to be Joan Jett.” If you’re an adult, then you look forward to three things: Dressing up your children, scaring other people's children, and stealing candy from your child the day after. Looking at you dad. Have you ever gone up to a porch with a scarecrow sitting on the porch? Don't do it. That piece of candy won't be worth it when the scarecrow jumps at you, and you run away crying in front of your friends. If you're a teenager/ young adult, then you buy the cheapest costume possible. Which ironic, because you also wear the least amount of clothes possible. Good thing it’s not freezing out! Snow? Snow’s got nothing on a sexy cat. Pants? Sexy cats don’t wear pants! Jacket? But then you can’t see my black cat shirt! Boots? No. Cats only wear heels. I promise I'm not a cat-hater. If you look at my Facebook, it's all videos of cat's falling off counters. I've also been a cat for Halloween many times. However, this year, I was Tinker Bell. It was fairly simple. Pun intended. All I had to buy was wings and a green tutu. I know I’ll use both again someday, so I wasn’t upset about spending 6 Euros. I might show up to class the first day in a tutu. The second day I’ll wear my wings. Just to get my money's worth. That’s the one great thing about Halloween in Spain. Everyone wears scary costumes, and not cat costumes. I think people in the states have lost the Halloween spirit. They don’t remember what the true meaning of Halloween is.It's not about looking cute, it’s about scary the **** out of people.

I've been M.I.A. for the last couple of weeks. So, here's a summary. I've taken some naps, watched Vampire Diaries, and went to class. Just like all of you, except, I've also visited Málaga and Barcelona... If you ever get the chance to visit Málaga, here are some places to see. Málaga
