Halloween

[thewisecookiesheet]

NIcely done, ffdude, nicely done.

Anyways, I have found something better than Trick-or-Treating.

Something better than stealing candy from a baby.

Almost as great as chocolate.

And this would be performing infront of a crowd of thousands.

Yep. We had our last performance last night and came in 5th in finals (12 made finals, 40 in the competition). All us band kids were bummed because we had to miss the traditional Halloween, but after that performance, we didn’t regret it anymore. We loved it and everyone had a blast. Our colorguard also got best colorguard, beating out a school who 1) Always wins, and 2) Has their show centered around their colorguard. But it was a drag when our director told us that the colorguard score didn’t count in ranking. But still, we won (:

And, we got sunburned. Which is really, usually, hard to do on the last day of October. I think it got up into the 90s and the last time that happened was back at the end of August. Yeah. But it was about 50 degrees when we performed, so the temperature dropped fast after the sun dissapearead.

And then Daylight Savings Ended, which gave me a lot of time to sleep, and then waking up “early”. Before noon infact

But man, it feels great to have time back.

little_chef_eva09: Aw, bummer that you didn’t get to do much. Trick-or-treater hunting? Sounds intriguing to me…it’s too bad you didn’t get to do that either. It must be fun. Did you still dress up, though, just for the fun of it?

Violet Parr: Aw, it sucks that you didn’t get to do anything for this Halloween. Going to the Disney stores for trick-or-treating sounds like awesome fun- really too bad you had to skip that. But yeah, it’s still fine to dress up for the heck of it the next day- ooh, a secret agent with hints of Violet- nice!

ffdude1906: Cool costume! I’m surprised none of your customers recognized you as a specific Wilderness Explorer…and the grown man who called you a girl scout, brownie…huh. I don’t blame you for being offended. But oh well, at least you knew who and what exactly you were dressed as and the costume’s terrific! Not to mention what you said about reenacting Russel’s lines by the door- that sounds like fun; I’ve got to try that sometime!

Roflcoptinator: A Sim? Interesting, that’s a new costume idea to me. Seems easy to put together, but it sounds like the way you did it was artistic. Oh, yes, it is interesting to see what different people dress up as…Transformers costumes that actually transform? How?

thewisecookiesheet: Awesome to know you had fun and your school’s band won!

Well, unfortunately, I didn’t get to make creepy noises for passerbys and trick-or-treaters like I planned (I got a sore throat and suckish voice right now-drat.). I didn’t get to go trick-or-treating with a friend either. But I did get to go to this Halloween festival. Apparently, one of the rules (the WORST rule ever for a holiday) was NO COSTUMES. HOWEVER, so many people, including some hosts themselves, dressed up anyway. I wore bat ears. I really like them (my mom made them). I didn’t wear my translucent fabric for wings, though. They would’ve gotten caught in a lot of stuff anyway.

I got a good victorious amount of candy. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I may get sick of chocolate soon (temporarily). I actually wanted some more fruity candies like taffy. But I guess chocolate’s great, too.

I saw some pretty cool costumes. A lot of Snow Whites for some reason. A Buzz Lightyear and a Woody, and a cute toddler as a chubby elephant. <3 Two little girls as vampires (apparently they hadn’t grown in fangs yet…just little vampires ) and a Superman, Little Mermaid and Silvermist (from the Tinkerbell movies). Not to mention these two boys put on fake blood on their neck and face…scared my sister and caught my attention. Also, I had one of those costume days in school the day before, and a whole group of teachers were Diva Witches, some kids were dressed up as exaggerated nerds, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Ghost Rider, an ATM, a gorilla, Balloon Boy, Bugs Bunny that looked like a hunchback, crayons, Alice in Wonderland, my math teacher was a vampire (fangs included!)…I could go on and on with the list. Let’s just say I saw a lot of interesting ones. I wore my bat ears AND my fabric wings to that event, but not many people got that I was a bat. I should’ve done more with my face, then, but not too much that I get mistakened for a vampire.

Hmm, let’s see how long my Halloween candy will last…'til Thanksgiving maybe? Or Christmas? I should make a bet with my sister.

happy halloween everyone. I went to a haunted house (and had about 3 people chase me with chainsaws)

ffdude1906- He he ! Sounds fun ! Really, your costume was AWESOME! Sad though, that most people didn’t recognize you. But I’m glad you had Fun anyway.

totoro- Yeah, it’s a family tradition to put up the Christmas tree early. I don’t think we’ve ever kept it up til Easter. That’s pretty cool !

bright dot-dasher- Thanks . Yeah, it was fun dressing up, anyway. I got a couple of strange looks, though, because it was the day after Halloween. I didn’t mind, though. Sounds like you had fun, though! If you got to much candy, I’d be glad to share it with you ! Just kidding. A kid dressed as an ATM, huh ? That’s pretty funny! Very original. I heard of this kid that, once, he dressed up as a toilet, and use the bowl to collect candy.

The Star Swordsman- That sounds like fun! Did you get scared at all?

Violet Parr: I only got scared at the end. This was because I ended up in the front of the line and that is where people get surprised the most.

Now that’s one detailed Hallowe’en costume, ffdude1906! Very impressive.

Congratulations on your band doing so well, thewisecookiesheet!

I did plan a Hallowe’en party, but it never materialised. I just spent the evening watching a horror movie with my mum and not bothering to give sweets to the trick-or-treating children.
