dmxratedThat was, by far, the best Halloween I ever had.
October 31, 1998 (Saturday; Halloween)
This morning, I went trick-or-treating with Marie and Nicole. Brian went to a Halloween party with Eric. Mom put powder in my hair and used a black styrofome ball and black construction paper to make a microphone so that I could be Jerry Springer for Halloween. Marie was a scarecrow. Brian was James Bond.
When me, Marie, and Nicole got to the end of Masem Court, I’m like “You wanna know where else we can go trick-or-treating?” They wanted me to show them, and I took them to the mysterious path, and Marie’s like “No!” When we got home, I had two Crunch bars, a box of dots, a Warheads lollypop, a Twizzler, a Milky Way, and a Tootsie Roll. I locked myself into Mom and Dad’s room and ate some of it. When I came out, my face was sticky, and I washed it off. I then started playing Super Mario World.
(The Mysterious Path: Actually, this was some weed-covered path leading left and right from the end of Masem Court. It had been converted into a road years later, and is blocked by a soundproof wall.)
Later, Mom drove Brian home from Eric’s.
Minutes after he came home, Mom helped me with a Science project that’s due Monday. In the essay part of it, I was gonna write about how humans are made from humans and not water buffalo. Dad’s like “Now what do water buffalo have to do with humans?” He said it in a rather funny way. Mom’s like “He’s explaining how humans don’t produce water buffalo.”
We got a lot of trick-or-treaters this year. Craig was the Grim Reaper for Halloween.
Tonight, I tasted a Skull Pop, but it tasted like crap. I threw it out. Me and Marie went to Dorothy’s, and after we knocked on the door, she sprayed us with silly string.
Mom later took me and the other kids to Danny’s. When we got there, me and the other kids went outside and pretended to play Goldeneye. Danny was choosing teams, and he was having more kids on his team. Brian complained that it wasn’t fair. Brian and one of the other kids were using guns, and I was pretending my microphone was also a gun. After a few matches, Danny put more kids on our team than his team. Brian’s like “That’s suicide.” Danny then went inside and I was gonna see what he was doing, but Mom told me “I think he needs to calm down.” Everyone else also came inside except for Patrick. I went back outside and sat down on one of the chairs, and soon, he stuck up his middle finger and laughed.
Soon, both of us came inside, and I ate a candy apple. We then did the Mummy Race. That’s where you wrap someone in toilet paper, and then put sunglasses, a hat, and a doll on them. After we wrapped Brian up in toilet paper, Brian complained that he was getting overheated. We then finished, and unwrapped him and Danny. After that, we got our picture taken.
It was 10:00 PM when we got back home.
Added in on 9/13/10: Forgot about the caramel-covered apples on sticks that Mom made that day. It's a year late, but now that I think about it, I remember eating a block of caramel in the middle of the day, and then having a candy apple while we were at Daniel's house. No reason to be surprised, though.
-----
It only took a day and a half to complete Super Mario World. Too bad the next game in our roster isn't up for another four days, but on the plus side, this is a good time to get oriented with stuff on my agenda for the summer. I have come back to reading volume 3 of Japanese in Mangaland, and I've read the entire first chapter already.
