These are some things I bought today at the thrift store to prepare for Halloween! I wanted to put an outfit together that I can wear on the first of October.

My plan was to buy one full costume, but I had such a hard time and ended up finding different pieces for different costumes instead of one full costume. 🤷

Okay, so I know I said that I wouldn't do Curt Wild because of his inappropriate outfits. But y'all! Look at those pants! Are they not Curt's pants from his "Gimme Danger" scene??? I HAD to get them! There was also a microphone prop for sale (I didn't buy it). It was like a sign. If I can find some sexy, black, platform boots then fuck it, I'm dressing as Curt Wild. I might even go all out and buy a blond wig 👀.

I actually went to the store with the intention of putting together a thrifted Obi-Wan costume, but Jesus, it was impossible. I was almost tempted to just buy a Rey costume off the rack and call it a day but I'm glad I didn't. I did get some nice, super cheap, khaki pants out of it though. (Not pictured).

So far, it looks like Michael Jackson in "Remember the Time" will be my first costume. I have everything I need except the gold turtleneck. I also want to dress as him during his "Bad" era since I have a wig from last Halloween that I think I can turn into a mullet.

Anyway, the hunt for a Ewan costume continues!

Pro tip: MEN! Don't be afraid to shop in the women's section for your Halloween costume! They have all the good stuff, I'm telling you!

At my job, we're allowed to wear Halloween costumes throughout the month of October!

It'd be a shame if I didn't dress up as at least ONE Ewan McGregor character.

Obi-Wan is probably the only genuine costumey character, but in the very likely event that I can't find the materials to do his outfit, I need a backup.

Can you guys help me brainstorm costumes to put together?

It’s way too hot today so I made these

I'm sorry. Y'all didn't follow for all this sad stuff. I don't have people offline to share my vulnerable self with so easily. I've tried and tried to push through and figure things out by myself. I just feel like an absolute wreck of a person. I'm not even a person. I have something I must do that I've been putting off, and of course, it must be done alone. I'm very scared and angry and crying as I type this. I can only hope against hope against hope against HOPE that I will finally receive peace when it is done. That I can move on and be normal and happy and a real person again. The kind of person you'll like. I've let my family down. I've let myself down. And I feel like I've let you down. Things will be different. They'll be better. I have to believe it.

Just wanna say I love you. Thank you for your companionship and community.
