For Halloween this year, I dressed up as part of Nick and Alex’s rock band. I had a red inflatable guitar and a wig which looked really silly on me. (It made me look almost like a girl!) Alex had this freaky looking witch wig with spiky long hair, and a neat inflatable keyboard. Nick decided his hair was long enough as it was (laugh) so he just took a guitar. It’s too bad I didn’t get a picture of the three of us together.

The school Halloween parade took place at lunch. We were going to go for “Best Group,” but decided not to participate at the last minute because we thought everyone would laugh at us. Now that I think about it we probably should have joined anyway. The best costume I saw there was probably Danny P’s–he was a street lamp that actually lit up! LOL

Earlier this night, I went trick-or-treating with five other people. Ryan was a human skeleton; Sydney, Lisa, Lauren were explorers wearing black garbage-bag robes, feather hats, and plastic swords; and Karen (Sydney’s friend) was a Chinese guy. Zack didn’t come with us; he decided to go trick-or-treating in his friend Matt’s neighborhood instead.

Thanks to daylight savings, which ended yesterday, it was completely dark outside by the time we left at six-thirty. According to Google Earth, our complete route was around 3.4 miles! That doesn’t even include the distance walking to and from each house. Over three hours, we had each collected about nine pounds of candy!

When we got back, my ankles and feet throbbed painfully whenever I took a step. I rushed inside and dumped the whole pillowcase-full of candy on the floor to count and sort them. Just for fun, here’s a pie chart showing the different types of candy I got.

It’ll take me all year to eat all that candy. Come to think of it, I still have ten or twenty pieces of candy from last year stashed in my closet! Happy Halloween, everyone!
