HALLOWEEN!!!

Well, unlike most of you, I did not have the BEST Halloween ever. This is what happened.

First, I ran out of the house to catch the bus. But it was difficult running down my drive way due to the shoes I was wearing. As a matter of fact, I was going to school in my costume. It consisted of a black kimono with white lining, a black hakama, a pair of tabi I made out of regualar black socks, and a pair of waraji I tried to make from some straw matted flipflops. I had fun with the costume, took about 2 1/2 weeks, at least 20 hours.

Well, getting back to the story. I finally caught the bus and went to my seat. First thing that anyone says, "Can I see your robe?".

My response. "No." Because, I was not going to take it off and hand it to someone. Not only was part of the kimono in the hakama, but I did not have a shirt on underneath, there was no need.

But, that was not it, I had a little plastic sword I dressed up like a mini katana, and a black wood fan I had bought the night before. Well, the guys on the bus go ahold of those. Believe me, I was not happy with them, so I grabbed what was mine and refused to let anyone else see them.

At school, I went to the cafeteria to find that not too many people had a costume on. TALK ABOUT BEING SPOIL SPORTS!!!

Then I went to band. Well, there was a group of band students that dressed up like the Village People. Believe me, it was scary. There were many pictures there. Then we started practicing for the parade. There would be one at the elementary because it was red ribbon week. So during 3rd Hour we marched around, and then had a mini pep rally for the little kids. Nothing much there. Went to class...

Then fifth hour. I have yearbook then. And nobody was takeing pictures around school. OF ALL DAYS!!! So I was upset about that. 6th Hour, 7th Hour and then back to the band room, then to Subway for something to eat. I should mention, I'm walking around in my costume, oh well.

And then, I had done one stupid thing. I had forgotten an extra pair of jeans. So, being a Friday, meant a Football game, and that night, it just had to be 2 hours away. So, I dress into an extra shirt and fold the kimono up and set it to the side. Thank goodness I had some black skin pants on, or you would have seen a blue shirt, some skin in the vent of the hakama and then the hakama itself. I was lucky there.

I get on the bus, and 2 hours later, after a nap and then waking up and knowing exactly what town I'm in, everyone gets off the bus and dresses into uniform. From there, we have the game, where, I end up getting hyper on my way to going onto the field for half time, the oponents team looses a member (who was taken away by the ambulence), we win and then we go home on another 2 hour bus ride in which I fall asleep adn then my CD player's batteries die. I got cold. Dang, I wished I had my kimono, it was actually warm, too warm at times, but warm.

At the band room, I gathered my stuff and at the same time, one of my friends mom's was passing out goody bags, because, unlike a lot of other people, we were stuck at a football game, it was passed midnight, and no one could go trick or treating.

Spent the night at my friends house, woke at 11am, and was completely out of it all day. Oh, once I got home, after 6 pm, I did a few things, and then, fell asleep a little before 9. I was out of it majorly for some reason.

But, I've been in a happy mood for the past week for an unknown reason.

Anyways, this seems long enough now. Ja.
