Tonight was the school’s little Halloween party. I spray painted Hollace’s hair black as she donned black clothes and purple lipstick. Originally she didn’t want to do anything for Halloween but it slowly evolved to this goth thing. She still plans on not going trick or treating but she wanted to go to the party to hang with friends.
It didn’t take too long before all the black in her hair ended up on her face and hands.
I sat like a bump on a log on the bleachers. They were folded up so I clumsily hoisted myself up so I could sit. I am so graceful, not. I watched an episode of Better Off Ted on the iPod and watched kids run around like crazed animals. It was amazing that I could get enough volume out of my headphones to hear over the noise.
I finally managed to waddle off the bleachers when Hollace was thirsty. Go to stand in line when we realize all they had to drink was water or pop. Hollace hates both and storms off in a huff. Ok fine, you definitely aren’t thirst enough.
It was now time for the costume contest, all her friends went off to stand in the circle but Hollace wouldn’t have anything to do with that. She is definitely not a joiner and definitely doesn’t do what the crowd does. She is very much like me and doesn’t bow down to peer pressure. Not because we are strong and stubborn but more like we are chicken and don’t really care that much. We will see how that goes when she is a teenager.
