It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween


From x-entertainment, One small Halloween tradition of mine that I never scored a few X-E paragraphs out of: Halloween stickers. Throughout childhood, I could not let the scary season slip by without swiping several spooky sticker sheets, and I totally deserve a bejeweled throne for racking up that many "s" words in one sentence.

I think the obsession at least partly stemmed from the fact that I was one of those lamers who tagged along on Mommy's grocery store trips all the time, and if I was going to endure aisle after aisle of boring food shopping, I at least had to finagle my way into free gifts. Grocery stores rarely had much in the way of toys, but they usually had greeting card sections — and those sections usually came with neat, twirly standees bursting with awesome stickers. During most months, the stickers were pretty blah, but during October, what I found was just cause to imitate Master P's catcall.

The Peanuts Halloween stickers shown above are nice, covering all the necessary characters and bullets, and boasting nice sparkly touches that absolutely refused to photograph. I'm not sure what I can use them for now that all my notebooks and pads have gone electronic, but life still seems sweeter with an adhesive Lucy in a witch hat.
