Boys & Girls of Every Age, Wouldn't You Like To See Something Strange?



It could've been worse. IT'S NOT WHAT I EXPECTED THIS YEAR, but it was fine.

I started the day feeling miserable because I didn't go costume shopping at the Goodwill, like I've been doing for the past 2 years. My best costume ever was one that I had found AALLLL by myself, at the Goodwill. Spending only $20.

I wish I had done my makeup better, and made a better facial expression. But, I was posing from memory, I don't have the poster on my mind-WITH THAT BEING SAID, I am still very proud of it. I am the only female (out of the 3 that I just saw on Google) who managed to pull this off successfully. In my opinion.

Anyway.

I wasn't able to do anything fun like that this year. Which hurts.

.....

A lot.

But I always have my go-to costume. . . My slit throat costume.I rely heavily upon this piece. But, I wanted to try something new this year. So, I turned to the Spirit Halloween Store. Now that I think about it, I don't recall ever buying anything there, ever. . . 

And I was reminded as to that was.

They had the most horrible unrealistic makeup I had ever seen. What was really sad was the fact that I damn-near cried when I saw their tiny wall of blaspheme. I thought to myself, "Surely there must be another wall, A HUGE WALL, filled with great effects." So, I found the most miserable employee in the middle of the store, and I asked her where I could find the "good shit" (I didn't really say that. Although, I should've, maybe she would've given what I wanted). She looked at me, with her dead eyes, and let out a heavy sigh. Like I just ruined her WHOLE damn day.

"Ma'am, I am sorry, I didn't realize that this would be a big damn deal for you. I hate having to ask this of you, really I do."

After the Spirit employee released their dragon-like sigh of discontent, SHE LED ME BACK TO WALL OF DISAPPOINTING SPECIAL FX.

Needless to say, I DID NOT thank her for her services. . . I sure showed her.

A John Robert Powers modeling student.

During my Sophomore year, I dressed as "slumber party murder victim. My friend had the same theme for her costume as well. We had a very long backstory for the costumes. I was running from the killer, then they jumped around the corner and stabbed me, then slit my throat. My friend's character heard my screams and locked herself in the bathroom. Knowing that death was imminent, she slashed her wrist and bled out. NOT OVER YET. Theennn, the killer's viscous dog destroyed the door, and chewed on the girl.

We were charming little girls, weren't we?

While delivering the class attendance sheet that day, I made a female student scream when i opened the door. . . I was very proud of myself that day. But, I almost didn't go through with my costume idea. I was nervous about scaring the mentally retarded students. But you know what they did when they saw me. . . They gave me a high-five. I was the cool kid. And I didn't have to buy a "Sexy (insert noun)" costume.

 So, for 2012, I wasn't anything. My Shasha was in southern California, my parents could care less about the holiday, and I had no real reason to dress up.And this is THE ONLY DAY I could Intentionally make someone uncomfortable and It'd be okay. . . and I still did nothing. Didn't even throw a little bit of fake blood on me face.

Broke my heart.

So, how did I celebrate?

I used Daddy's money and bought the CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4 Kit Eyeshadow Set, Drama Eyes. . . That was probably a BIG mistake. I liked the way it looked in the palette but, I don't think I'd every leave the house wearing all those colors. If anything, It'd be appropriate for halloween parties, and vampire gatherings. Those colors were too much for me.

Working with what I had, I thought that I could pull off a Mysterious Look. I looked like a model for an abuse campaign. Not good.

...

I remember Jackie (our neighbor), and my mom always wearing black on Halloween. I couldn't wait to do that when I got older. But I unknowingly did that this year.

Which I think is cool.

Hopefully, I won't let myself down next year. Maybe, I will make history. . .

Just

May

be...

Bye.
