So I brewed my first batch ever on Halloween day and then kinda forgot about it....... It's been sitting in my primary fermentor ever since then. Do you guys think it is still good?
Did I wait too long?

I would say so, unless you were lax on your sanitation, it will probably be just fine. Only 1 way to find out for sure.

If you were diligent in sanitation then you should be absolutely fine. Taste it and if it tastes fine, bottle it and go.

You'll be fine.
But really>? Forgot about your first batch??? Usually people are itching to drink their first batch and stare at it everyday.

Many of us leave our beers in primary for a month on purpose, and some folks have said they have left it up to 6 months with no problems.

Geez...how could you forget about your first brew? 
Just trust your hydrometer and taste buds. Take a reading and drink it. If BOTH are good, keg it or bottle.

I can't believe you forgot about your first brew! Im on my second and I check on it a couple times a day still to see what is going on with it. I guess I'm kinda obsessed with brewing, but it seems like normal behavior from what I read
But to answer your question, from my knowledge your beer will be just fine, just bottle it and wait 3 weeks!
