The big day finally arrived, the Halloween festival has came to town, and the entire town is involved in it.  Traffic has been closed down in the middle of town, the location where the greatest part of the celebration will occur.  There are few businesses open, as no one would bother to try to shop at this point.  A live local band has been brought

I was at the school late yesterday, helping one of the girls finish her costume. I barely made it to that new store, Rococo, before she closed. In class, while the girls are cutting out fabric, they talk about that store a lot. And it's worth the talk. Rococo is the right name for it, too. Everything about the store is decorative. There's absolutely nothing anyone really needs. I could live there. I find a plain black velvet domino mask, with a red lining. It's like it was made for my costume. The girl who owns the store is really nice, and so are her cats. I found a pair of black nylons with red spiderwebs that work with my costume, too. I had to leave before I bought more stuff. I have to remember that starting next month, I have a higher rent payment, but I'll also have someplace to decorate!

So, my costume. Black stretch velvet, lined in blood red. Décolleté neckline. Cap sleeves with fringe hanging halfway down the arms. Form-fitting to the hips, then a flowing skirt, above the knee in front, down to a short train in back, showing the red lining. The new nylons, and a pair of killer black heels with a Mary Jane strap with a red buckle. Pile my hair on top of my head, with some curlycues hanging down, and I think I'd stop traffic if there were any downtown! I just hope it doesn't get too cold. I hope I don't ruin the train walking around town.

I'm trying to take Gabe's advice to heart, and just have a good time tonight with Anthony. I told Mr. Jenkinson that I mentioned we were going to O'Malley's this weekend and Gabe suggested maybe he and Justine could tag along, we could all get to know each other. I'm not sure what he thought of that. He said he had to hurry and get to class.

I wonder what Mrs. LaVie's party will be like. I wonder if I should have invited Anthony. I wonder what the festival will be like. I guess I should just go downstairs and I'll find out all these things when they happen.
