Spooky!
My least favorite Halloween costumes were a baboon and a pumpkin. The baboon, I think we got from a thrift shop and it was kind of embarrassing (especially around the hindquarters). I hated the pumpkin. It was just very big and orange and made me look fat. I wore pumpkin sox and crazy shoes. My favorite costume was a milk carton. That year I couldn't find a costume until the Day of. Our neighbors loaned it to us. It was just a big cardboard box that looked like a milk carton. I'm not a very big fan of Halloween because I can't eat all the candy so it's kind of pointless. I like carving pumpkins though. I don't think I'm going to dress up this year. Maybe I'll be swine flu.

BOOKS

I read a reveiw of The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. It was a story about a girl who goes off to a boarding school and joins a secret soicety. I t sounds like an odd book and I don't know if I want to read it. The reviewer was kinda confusing and I didn't get most of plot lines. I have read a few books by the same publisher and I enjoyed them so I was thinking maybe I would like this book. I will have to read it to find out. Good idea for next time I go to the library.

Edgar Allan Poe

I have read/heard the tell tale heart and the cask of amontialdo. Both were pretty creepy and made you think. For me I think the cask was scarier because I don't like enclosed spaces. But for most people I'm sure the tell tale heart is scarier and more graphic. I like Edgar Allen poe, and I really like short storys. I like them because they're quick, (sometimes) suspensfull and they make you think most of the time. I haven't heard any other Poe stories so I am excited for that. I wonder if there are some about halloween.

HARK!

Once on a cold winters night I saw a worm that was not giving up his fight. His fight to live! (and think too) his fight to fall in this wonderfull haze. Oh, hark I hear the morning light Wait NO! I can't do that it's impossible and not th ink of snow.
