Thank you for the detailed and insightful updates on your attempted Halloween endeavors. Hope it works out next year, it's a great idea!

(Also, I'm amazed you remembered this thread months later...)

Now that I think about it, how much better would it get the point across that Life is being cruel if the expression were about Life giving you ROTTEN lemons?? I think that was an oversight on the expression originator's part.

[ EDIT: ] Orrr maybe not... Since people aren't really apt to go for the idea of making lemonade with rotten lemons. That was an oversight on my part! Blush blush.

OH!! I meant to tell you! But I didn't, so... Pretend this comment happened a few months ago:

Immediately upon reading your response to my comment, I saw your point about the importance of honesty-in-costume, even if something (like handing out lemons) is only implied. As I am a very honest girl who places high value on the quality of genuineness, I took your suggestion and came up with cute little pictures of lemons to hand out.

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT! D:< (You don't have to answer that; I know you don't know what, unless you are stalking me, in which case you don't even really need to read any of this comment. I was mostly asking for dramatic effect. Note that I also employed the all-caps and the exclamation-point-instead-of-question-mark techniques.) It turned out to be a moot point, because I became very ill with some nasty something and wasn't even able to go to the party! : ( So that sucked sour lemons. Maybe next time. Although if I do use the costume idea next Halloween, I'll use different lemons for the top of the bag, as this year's* are kind of on their way to rotten. I think I may have to throw them out before then. : /


*Remember, you are pretending that I left this comment a few months ago... Maybe mid-Novemberish.

Glad you liked this palette :)

Your description for this made me laugh... Well, the whole thing did, but particularly the description, because my Halloween costume this year (yes I still dress up, no I don't go around house-to-house asking for, or demanding, for that matter, candy; the costume is for a party X P) is going to be a shirt that says LIFE, & I'll be handing out lemons. : )

Ok, ok, I haven't been entirely truthful with you. : / In the interest of complete disclosure: I decided to not actually hand them out -- that's an invitation for trouble even at a party for adults -- but I will have a paper bag with a few showing at the top. If anyone actually tries to take my lemons, though... Well, let's just say the popular expression "lemon-induced massacre" will take on a whole new meaning.
