Backdate 1
Well, I suppose that I should tell you all about my weekend.*grins happily and stretches before settling into her chair* It was a great weekend, Friday through Sunday. Halloween weekend one of the most wonderful times of the year! Please forgive me if I go off on any tangents, but there’s so much that happened, and so much that had been thought about on the weekend. I just know I have to write it all down before I forget something. After all… some things have to be said.
I was slightly disappointed at the way that Friday started out. I ended up unable to make up my mind as far as what I wanted to be went, but I got dressed, and popped Norbert into a basket with my books and went. (Yeah I know, some of you already know how that went lol). Anyway, it felt strange, and I was slightly unnerved by the looks some people gave me, I had to laugh though, when I got to class everyone seemed surprised. Why should they have been surprised though? If I’m going to dress up, I am going to Dress Up. It’s not that hard to understand, heh. Maybe it’s just from always dressing up and such though. Sometimes I do go a little overboard. Anyway….now where was I? Oh… I wore the green Juliet style costume thing my Ma had got me. Grandma had liked it, so I had to wear it at least once this weekend. Over that I had my silver and black uhmm…robe/cloak/mage costume. Then I had that basket with Norbert in it. So what was I? I ended up saying that I was a dragon keeper, which wasn’t exactly a lie, but honestly I’m still not sure what I was supposed to be. I still hadn’t decided.
Anyway, my brother who was supposed to come as a black bear…didn’t…and then when it was time to go home… The battery in the van had gone dead! We then waited around for about an hour or so until Ma showed up with the jumper cables. While we waited I hung around in the computer lab. Yeah, I give one of my friends a few brownie points, but I was slightly disappointed that he didn’t DressUp-DressUp lol. But it was ok, I was happy that I had. As long as people got a laugh or a smile out of it I don’t care one bit that I felt alone in my annual normalcy. When Ma showed up, we went over to the elementary school to see the Halloween Parade. My little brother and the other kids at Pinehurst marched across the stage in the auditorium showing off the Halloween livery. IN one class there was 5 pumpkins! In another 3 spider mans, and in another 2 knights. My little brother had decided to go as a gorilla to school, and for the rest of the weekend he’s dressing up as a knight. *grin* I don’t know why he decided all of a sudden that he wanted to be a knigt, and he said something about being Sir Cumference . If I remember correctly that’s a character out of one of the books that he’s been reading lately. Which is cool. I’m proud of Scotty. He’s actually reading on his own (Billy does too) even though Brian and Thomas don’t really. Joey has started to read in the past few years, which is good I guess. But Tom doesn’t stop acting stupid sometimes, so Billy and Scotty seem to have been picking up on that and I don’t appreciate the habits that they’ve been picking up.
*hum* Anyway when I went home, it was time to change and be ready to play in the dark woods. Granted I had to wait about 4 hours until it was time to go, but I had to be ready! I sat down with my face paints and brushes, and painted up my face, then put on my new t-shirt. It’s grey and it says “Official Halloween Candy Dispenser” on it. I just couldn’t resist...*bows head ashamedly* Yeah…the little bit of money I had burnt a hole clear through my pocket, and if it keeps doing that I’m not going to be able to do any Christmas shopping! (and some other shopping that I have to fit in there somewhere….murrrr) That is definitely a priority…Eventually it is anyway...*and has gone off topic again, och!* ANYWAY we got to Fredonia around…10…(yeah later than I’d expected) And then we didn’t even get close to going into the Haunted forest until 11. While we waited I saw Will (one of the APO pledge, such a nice boy too) but I think he didn’t know who I was at first. Then as we stood in front of the entrance, out popped Kate! I hugged her and it was happy times lol. She wanted to know why I hadn’t told them, but I had called… but no one answered any of the phones. Then, since we were the last group, as we walked through, the HF president was rounding up the character actors right behind us. Thus the HF actors were tailgating our tour group. Other than getting stuck in a few holes, and almost throwing up (that was the worst smelling/tasting fog juice I’ve ever encountered, nothing personal to all you guys down there, it’s just I love fog, but that stuff gagged me lol.) It was great. I got to see just about everyone. Who I saw at the Haunted Forest “The Woods Are Alive” 2004 edition: Kate, Will, Joe, Bob, Jesse, Ryisa(sp), Ed, Amber, Dan, and Amy. Amy (like me) doesn’t go to Fredonia anymore, but she at least got to spend the whole weekend(I think)*pouts jealously* I wish that I could have, but I do have so much going on this weekend, so I couldn’t. I’ll have to go down and visit them all before the semester ends though. (I can’t make any guaranties (sp) about it, all I can do is make my wishes known.) Kate made it a point to point out to Dan (another pledge) That I still wear my service pin even though I’m not there to participate in the frats (or is brotherhood right here, or is it group help… I don’t know how to refer to this!) activities. I’m getting the idea that maybe He doesn’t wear his service pin like he’s supposed to. Heh, poor devil. They’ll be on him about that forever, but then, I got a scolding when I unwittingly wore it while wearing jeans on one of my visits last spring
I even got to talk to Joe for a wee bit…and I’m worried about the gang down there. I can’t do anything about what’s going on. But I can note that I’m worried about the splitting that seems to be happening. I don’t like it. I really don’t like it. Actually I hate it. I hate it when friends have trouble resolving their differences. But there’s not much that I can do about it. I haven’t had a chance to talk to everyone involved. Yeah, I know I shouldn’t worry so much. But I can’t help it. But on another matter, Joe said things are going ok sorta in a whole different matter*grins happily* now if only I had some of Eros’ blasted arrows and a cloak of invisibility, and J.P. and J.S. In the same room.*chuckles* But they might not appreciate that. I should leave things like that alone lest I should get myself caught in it and burned. After all…I can’t even get anything right in that field on my own.
After we went through the HF (Dad. Ma, Joey, Tommy, and Me) we went to McDonalds. They’re lucky down there. Mickey D’s is open 24 hours (drive through at least) and the dining room is open until 1 am. My brothers proceeded to play checkers with a chess set (and as they argued about what pieces could do, I proceeded to tell them the chess rules, and then they threw a fit heh). Then we went home and I curled up in bed.
