October 7th, 2009
Are you ready to celebrate Halloween? I know it’s hard to believe 2009 is almost over and it’ll be 2010. I don’t even want to think about December because of Christmas. For Halloween I like to let my inner child come out and play. It’s the only day she can come out and no one will say I’m weird. It’s fun to dress up in different wigs and imagine being someone else. I like to create my own costume with a dress, wig and hat. I was a witch for five years when I was an adolescent. For some reason I loved being a witch and my mom was pretty at creating the ultimate witch, warts and all. I used to wear a black wig with green highlights. We used a can of spray hair color. We always found something new to add to the costume. One year we added a wart to the end of my nose that we found at costumes for plus size
My brother wanted a new costume every year. He dressed up as the karate kid and he really got into it. After Halloween, my mom had to take him down a notch because he was trying to karate chop everyone and everything. He was very hyperactive and still is as an adult. He hates staying in one place for very long. Another year, he decided to be a witch just like me and I was not happy about it at all. My mom told me he was a vampire with a hat to get me to shut up. It wasn’t until years later I realized he was a witch just like me. Now as an adult I think it’s pretty cool that one of my brothers looked up to me.
