Today was finally Friday and I was already planning for today to be very fun. I didn't have work because Eli and I were planning to go to Raising Cane's over the weekend with some other people. So I'd asked off for the weekend like, 2 months. Tonight was also the Halloween dance, which I was kind of skeptical about.
I don't remember anything that happened at school except that I fell asleep in Chemistry and Dalton and Jesse took pictures of me to post in the cross country GroupMe. I also bought my Halloween dance ticket at lunch for a whopping 8 dollars. The school day actually really sucked for a Friday. It just wasn't fun at all.
After school I needed to come up with a Halloween costume quickly because I still didn't really know what I wanted to be for the dance. I didn't want to be a hockey player like yesterday because that'd be too boring. I went to Walmart in Jackson first. I was in there for over 30 minutes looking for stuff. I originally had the idea to be a mummy and just wrap myself in toilet paper so I ended up getting 4 rolls of toilet paper for only 97 cents, which I thought was a pretty good deal. I also snuck a Pokémon card pack through the self checkout because I don't even know why. It was not worth the risk but I guess I just didn't want to spend 5 bucks for 10 pieces of paper.
Then I went to Teen Challenge in Jackson to look for more things to dress as. I opened the pack of cards in the parking lot and didn't get anything. So if you think about it I was really just helping to rid the world of regular rares. Anyways, I was in Teen Challenge for a long time, too, and didn't even end up buying anything. I was really looking at the suits because they are so cheap in there. A suit jacket and the matching pants for only 10 bucks is a great deal. I was also looking at the ties, but none really stuck out that much. So I left there.
After I left I had the idea to dress as Ron Burgundy from The Anchorman. So I drove to Cape to go to Teen Challenge there to see if there was anything different there. That Teen Challenge is a lot worse than Jackson's. Their suits were way more expensive and they didn't have any red suits for me to be Ron anyways. So I drove home with just my rolls of toilet paper.
When I got home I went upstairs and took a nap. I woke up at around 6, so the dance was in an hour. My mom kept asking what I was going as so I told her a mummy and I don't think she liked the idea. She wanted me to go as a farmer and where my overalls, which wouldn't have been bad, but I was already stuck on my mummy idea. For some reason my mom was really into helping me get ready. First of all, she didn't like my toilet paper idea and wanted me to tear white cloth into strips to wrap around me instead. That sounded like a whole lot more work than my idea so I shut that down. Then she wanted to help wrap me in the toilet paper, so I let her. I spun around while she held the roll of toilet paper and I didn't really like how it was turning out. It was really tight around me. Then my dad walked in and was obsessed with making jokes about poop because I was wearing toilet paper. Eventually I was all wrapped up. My mom and dad also wanted to wrap my head but I though that would be too much. My mom also kept trying to stop me from walking because the paper kept ripping, but I literally had to walk to leave the house. I don't know why they were so fired up, but at least I know they care.
So I left to go to the dance. I was kind of nervous because I thought my outfit looked terrible. When I got to the dance it was around 7:25 and Zach and Bryce were outside of their cars in the parking lot and not inside for some reason. I got out and they actually liked my outfit. Zach was Bling Bling Boy from Johnny Test, which I thought was actually a good costume and Bryce was nothing, because Bryce is boring. They heard a cat while we were outside so we went out in the field to find it but it jumped into a drainage hole. Eli wasn't here yet because he was with Wes, Camryn, Kennady, Madeline, Colton, and Aiden at a preparty I guess. I thought it was weird how he was with Colton and Aiden and them who I actually knew and he didn't, but nothing I can do about that.
Zach, Bryce, and I went inside after the cat disappeared down the hole. Everyone acted like they really liked my outfit and Mrs. Moore was really urging me to join the homemade outfit contest. Eli and them showed up shortly after we got there, so we joined their group on the dancefloor. I actually really tried to dance tonight and it was fun even though I'm terrible at dancing. Poor Bryce didn't even try to dance and just stood behind Zach and me on the dance floor doing nothing the whole time. After a few songs played, it was time for the costume contest.
I sat next to Zach and Bryce on a bench to watch everyone. I'll try and name people and the costumes. Eli and all of their group went as the cast of Phineas and Ferb. Their costumes were honestly kind of lackluster. Jack and Bri went as Elvis and Priscilla, a bunch of the "cool" girls went as the hole diggers from the movie Holes, Myra and Maddie Jo went as Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan, Emma Rivers went as Zelda, and that one freshman who plays percussion in band who's really weird went as the Mad Hatter, but she was really into the role and was acting like she was cosplaying or something. I don't really remember anyone elses.
