Of course every day is a day to dress up and have fun, and I gain a great happiness from doing so at every opportunity. However I equally feel I have to defend the days on which tradition rules that we all do it, because without them, some people would never be struck with creativity and mischievous feelings! In addisch', such days allow the more inhibited, who perhaps would like to dress up at other times but feel it is a social impossibilty, to free themselves. For these reasons, I reckon a co-ordinated day of exuberance is better than no day at all, and even if you feel you're conforming to a rule by participating, you can break traditions in other ways (which is where lepeep comes in):

It would be against my previous paragraph to agree with the 'don't bother': for the student types whose "creativity and mischievous feelings" extend to a smear of fake blood and a bucket of licker, that is at least one step better than no fake blood and a bucket of licker; I'm willing to party with them but at the same time I would, for sure, extol the fun and excellence of original costumes.
Man I can't wait til tomorrow. I have a tutorial at 8.30am which I might wear my costume to (lol, student randomnezz
