Last night we made costumes and hopped on the sky train.
i made the one on the left 
so happy
We were pleased to be met by a sky train car full of costumed folk.
We waved and everyone let out a little cheer.. like football fans of the same team all getting together for a game.
Along the way, we’d compliment others outfits.. give high fives.. dance .. and SMILE.
There’s a unity that occurs on Halloween.. Every is crazy looking, and probably slightly drunk. I wish that all days could be like this.
its rare.. that we are so nice to people we dont know. so rare that we strike up conversations like we’ve known them forever.
I guess costumes give us a path.. a reason to talk to people.
While normally, we might look like creepers.. Halloween sets us free.
its sad in a sense.. that we’ve almost lost the ability to communicate with
one another.. but at least there are still times of fun!
hooray for fun!

we need a sense of comraderie or similarity.
i love going to sports games or concerts, because it brings people together with similar goals or interests.
we need to be “on the same side”, which i think we initially don’t feel with strangers. we tend to think others are ‘against us’ until proven otherwise. (or at least i have subconsciously done so)
i too find it interesting that we could ignore the same person on the bus day after day, but once we find out they like the same band as us, it can be like we’ve known them for years.
it could also be the briefness of the interaction as well. there is no expectation but to be light and short.
anyway. thanks for the ponder.

good thoughts Hannah!
we should start a “strangely outgoing” club.
that would be scary.. but fun.
