It’s Thanksgiving week in the United States.  Wednesday is one of the busiest travel days of the year over here, though people will be traveling in huge numbers all week.

It is hard to know which mode of transportation has the heaviest volume.  Airports, trains, and roads are all packed.  Traffic, in general, makes my travel anxiety shoot through the roof.

But I would take packed roads over a packed plane or packed train (having experienced all three) any day.  One, the timing of my travel is more flexible in the car.  Two, I can take breaks when I feel my blood pressure soaring.  And three, it is possible to pull off the road for Twizzlers.  If I had to rank them from worst to best, I would say planes, trains, and cars.

At any time of year, what is your least favourite mode of transportation?

This hoodie is a portable back massager.  Granted, I have no clue what it looks like operating on your body.  Perhaps you perpetually look like you are doing a sitting up version of the worm, but I choose to believe that this hoodie will allow me to discreetly get a back massage all the ding-dong time.

I want.  I mean, I want as long as it doesn’t do odd things to my body on the cellular level.  It’s so brilliant that I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before this point — make a massage chair that can go with you.

What invention do you wish someone would make real?

I had a gift certificate for $10 for a store I frequent that was due to expire.  I don’t buy myself a lot of things — usually only books or games — but I decided to splurge and put the money towards a new purse.  My old one was falling apart, and a new purse would make me feel organized and put together.

I measured my current purse, and I looked at my options online.  I ordered one that I thought looked perfect.  Then it arrived and it was definitely not perfect.  So I returned it.  (And lost my $10 gift certificate in the process.  Sniff.)

I was going to let the whole thing go when I decided to poke around in different stores, suck it up, and just spend the money on myself.  So I did, and I got a completely awesome black backpack.  It does make me feel more put together.

What was your last splurge?

So here was the Breakfast Club Halloween costume.  Which is pretty much just what I wore during college, except now it’s a costume instead of being everyday clothes.  I tried to keep a straight, disinterested, teenage-ennui face, but I kept laughing:

It was the perfect costume because it was very comfortable.  I am always reluctant to wear costumes that aren’t comfortable, even if they’re really cool, mostly because I spend the whole evening thinking about how uncomfortable I feel rather than being in the moment.  I feel the same way about dressing up in general: I would enjoy social events so much more if I could always wear jeans and a t-shirt rather than putting on heels and a dress.  To me, putting on fancy clothes (and that includes everyday skirts and even dress pants) is torture.

Do you like dressing up?

It’s Halloween this weekend.  I’m debating between going as a 90’s slacker and a random Ravenclaw student.  I have both costumes pulled together; I’m just trying to gauge the weather that night and which one will be better suited for the temperature.

I love taking the kids trick-or-treating.  They go in a huge pack, and the adults follow behind.  What I really mean is that I like seeing the kids getting candy, and then going home and gorging myself on that candy until bedtime.

Are you dressing up?  What will your costume be?  If you’re not dressing up this year, what was your best costume ever?
