This is the fourth or so year in a row that I didn't get to do ANYTHING for Halloween. Mom had promised to take me to a haunted house, but she said the traffic was terrible. I was really upset. Thing is, it sucks to be 18 on Halloween, you catch my drift? Especially when you're friendless. So Mom promised we'd have a Halloween party next year-- and we'd plan ahead of time, starting tomorrow, so she'll have no excuse (her words, not mine)! I'm psyched because I've always wanted a party for years!!! Yayayayayay! :D
Anyway, I went to school today in a last-minute, makeshift "costume": I put on pigtails and tons of blush, plus lipstick, and I carried around my Little Mikey monster teddy bear. I told everyone I was a three year-old. To which my English professor responded: "Goo-goo." I got two Mary Janes as far as candy goes, but I only ate one because they taste weird and they'll crack your teeth off. I had a LOT of sugar today... actually, I've been having a lot of sugar all week. Which isn't good because my BMI is in the red zone. I have to lose 70 pounds. Scary, huh? There's your Halloween fright from me.
Appropriately, I bought "The Island of Dr. Moreau" book today. I haven't started reading it yet, though I did skim through the middle a bit. I also bought "Jewish Wit and Wisdom," "Shakespeare, A Book of Quotations," "Christina Rosetti, Goblin Market and Other Poems," and "Six Characters in Search of An Author." These books were uber-cheap, only $1.00 or $1.50 each, all from the same publisher: Dover. Mom also got me the first two books of "The Spiderwick Chronicles," which I've been wanting to check out. They seem to be a ripoff of "A Series of Unfortunate Events," but we'll see. Maybe they're good, and if they are, I'll let you know.
Speaking of Lemony Snicket's books, I want to get the collector's edition of "The Bad Beginning." It's $15.00, what a shame. Also, there's this book on dragons I really want to get, it's $16.00. Speaking of books on my want list, I want to get Tracy Pierce's "Earth Light." Tracy's a dear (online) friend of mine. She's an awesome artist and a brilliant writer... kinda like me. *cue ego inflation*
Well... I'm happy I'll get a Halloween party next year. I just hope Mom'll take me to Blood Manor in Long Island tomorrow. They've literally scared the sh*t out of two of their customers, and no kids under age 8 are allowed! Awesome! I really want to go tomorrow (it was closed today). I hope Mom takes me... after we go shopping for Halloween stuff at half-price tomorrow!
