Melissa is a genius!

To start the day, my friends Melissa, Alison, Emily and I decided to be FBI agents. This went more or less okay - people thought Alison was trying to look like a guy, but hey, I think it's a better direction than taking Halloween to be a time to dress trashy. I wore aviators to school; that made it pretty cool.

After school, I helped out at the French club, which had been turned into a chocolatier. There, we dipped graham crackers into chocolate fondue made in crock pots. As more people trickled in, Brian, Adam, Alison, Becca, Emily and I all got into a religious discussion (by which I mean us vs. Adam.) For the most part, this was Brian and I discussing our poor church-going habits to annoy Adam. All in all, c'était chouette!

Afterwards, Emily, Alison and I caught a ride with Alison's dad back to her place, where we almost immediately knocked off a puzzle from their table downstairs which Alison and her mom had been working on since the summer. Luckily, putting it back together we pretty fun, and we got more done than Alison and her mom had. We ate the quiche I had made, and way too much junk in general when Stacey and Julee came, and we got into a debate over which is harder - marching band or cheerleading. Stacey started it, her being a cheerleader. It was pretty dumb, since the rest of us are in band.

For awhile, we played truth-or-dare, the highlight of which was Alison drinking toilet water. Emily and I also went out of our way to make every 'Truth' question to be related to sex, knowing that the topic makes Julee uncomfortable. I also screamed outside particularly loudly, "I'm madly in love with Stacey!" which made Stacey pretty happy.

When we got bored of this, we decided to be living statues in the front yard to scare trick-or-treaters. Unfortunately, only three groups of people came - the first two of which we missed, and the third which went badly. However, scaring the one little kid that we did was amusing. Mostly because he wasn't little. Middle schoolers are obnoxious.

While Melissa and I were saying to each other, "Where are all the children?" (Her with her head hidden in her sweater, pretending to be headless) Mr. Alison's-Dad called us inside to eat dinner. We should not have eaten more. We did anyway, because his cooking is delicious. While we ate, we watched Scary Movie 3, for perhaps the 100th time. Because the movie was uninteresting and we all felt way too full, we decided to run outside and attempt to scare middle school-aged children by throwing candy at them. This would have worked well, except for there being no middle school-aged children at all - and no one wants to throw candy at cute little treat-or-treaters.

After walking around the block (because I had so much candy in my pocket, I decided to 'trade' candy with the two people giving out candy in their front yards, insisting that I was too old to just take the candy) we came back to Alison's house, where we played hide-and-go-seek for ten, fifteen minutes. I gave up my hiding spot as I became bored, and upon arriving in the living room, it was discovered that Stacey was not actually looking. Therefore, Emily and I decided that we wanted to learn how to play Meghan, Alison's little sister's, trumpet (to the horror of everyone in the household.)

After a good thirty minutes of trying to teach Emily to 'buzz', we went downstairs and turned off the lights, opened glowsticks, and danced to Korean trance music.

There concludes my lengthy description of my Halloween.
