~*~ October 31, 2016/ Friday/Los Angeles, California Halloween never was my favorite holiday. When I was little, my dad was the main one who threw up decorations and forced the rest of the family to get into the Halloween spirit. However, my lack of costume proved to my father it wasn't my forte. Being in my mid-twenties gave me freedom to experiment with costumes; ditch the pigtails, innocent rags, and exchange it for a costume speaking to my age rank. Office parties weren't the perfect time to show off those costumes, but the after parties that occurred the same night without work the next morning proved to be the perfect time. I took inspiration from Black Widow this year and tossed thumbs up to the …show more content…
Everything he did was sexy. "Why are you so mean to me, then?" "I never said I was attracted to you." "Ah, you're killin' me here," Antonio said and grabbed his heart. I giggled at his silly antics and slipped my weapon back into the holster on my leg. "You need me to flatter you? Fine. You're cute." "Thank you. Now would you dance with me—" "You know, I noticed that I'm always the one giving out compliments. You never compliment me," I said and backtracked when I listened to my words. I sounded like a desperate girlfriend. "I mean uh—" He stopped me with a hand. "The last time I complimented you it ended with you giving a speech about you owning the company." "That's because you were questioning my authority," I said. "And I apologized." "Why do you like to argue with me?" I got tired of the back and forth after a while. At first, it was cute but now I felt annoyed. "I don't!" Antonio laughed. "I want to dance," He said and grabbed my
Late autumn has arrived and with it comes the dark magic of Halloween--and, of course, the
The next thing I would like to talk about is Halloween, I love Halloween, it’s my second
When I learned that I would have to do my ethnographic report on what I did during Halloween, I was worried because I live in Turnpike and the most excitement that happens in turnpike is the sound of the garbage truck when it comes to pick up the Wednesday trash. Fortunately something did happen to me and I realized I would not have to write a boring paper of how I woke up and just stayed in my room the whole day. Well the day started off with me waking up and walking to the bathroom to take a shower, as soon as the turned the water on I realized I had left my shower and rather than turning off my shower I stayed in because the warmth of the hot water was too seductive for me to get out and get my towel. In the shower I had my usual thoughts about life, death, and comebacks to old arguments. Afterword I got out of my shower and reached for my toothbrush, which was located in a cupboard behind the toilet, but I grabbed at it too quickly and it fell in the toilet. I stood over my toilet for about five minutes just staring at my toothbrush in the toilet not believing what just happened, after that I started blaming myself for being too impatient. When I was done feeling sorry for myself I went into my room in search of another toothbrush but unluckily I couldn’t find one, so I had to go walk to the local store at around 7:30 in search of a toothbrush. While searching for a replacement toothbrush I realized that not that many people were in the store, I had always thought that stores were busiest in the morning and evening but apparently that’s not true. Once I got my new toothbrush I finished brushing, got dressed and went to catch the 11 to the Transit Center.
“Hey Mat since it’s halloween why don't we go to that scary maze everyone is talking about?” said Mark.
It's a tradition for my sister and I to make our Halloween costumes together and carve pumpkins - you know, the whole nine yards. Sometimes our dad would help, but usually it was just us and the dog outside. We would constantly be covered in some kind of paint or dye, whether it be fake blood, face paint, fabric paint, or some years even tea. (We got creative.) The costumes ended up being cool,
...like in my dreams, “Bravo.” She said with a sly smirk on her face. “Bravo?
Imagine having the worst potential Halloween nightmares come to life for a night. Everything from the “Boogeyman” to innocent random people being killed by chainsaws and other disturbing ways. The film Halloween does all that and then some. The movie begins with an innocent looking six year old boy named Michael Myers dresses up in a clown costume and stabs his older sister Judith to death. After that incident Michael ends up going to jail with a plan of being put away for a long time. Then on October 30, 1978 about fifteen years after Michael was sent to jail he escapes. Michael escaping proves to be a major event as most would guess. However, the underlying note in all of this is that the following day is Halloween. Unfortunately,
I can’t hold in my excitement as I run to the foyer. Mom looks at me worriedly, but I ignore her and throw open the door before the person standing behind it can knock. He looks at me with boredom lacing his expression, obviously expecting my weird gift to tell the future. I quickly hug him and grab his pale hand, pulling him outside. Tonight is Halloween, and the only time my pale blonde friend visits me. He’s my first and only friend, so I don’t mind that he doesn’t play with me the other three hundred sixty-something days in the year.
Halloween was not supposed to be like that, it was supposed to be more like when I was a kid. Houses would be decorated, jack-o-lanterns would be sitting near doors, and
This is a very hot topic issue with me! And I truly hope many others that either haven’t spoken out against it yet, or haven’t known how to speak against it. Really start? Maybe, it’s because somehow so few have been educated on halloween’s history. Or the history of witches and witchcraft in our Country and around the world. Why, is it that so many attach or try to attach witches with Halloween? Witches have been seen in books and movies as ugly, evil and cruel! They were never suppose to become role models to our society, or children ever! In fact most don’t know what really has happened in there secret meetings, because they remain secret for a very specific
When Halloween approaches, I feel the air becoming cooler and the nights becoming longer. Clouds over lap the moon creating an eerie look in the sky. Children grow more and more excited to put on their costumes, and they spend one night out of the whole year going door to door getting free candy. As I have grown up over the years, Halloween is celebrated differently for me. I always notice that even though it is celebrated differetly the people haven’t changed and that’s what makes it memorable.
“And only if you weren’t so arrogant I would actually find you attractive,” said Steve.
Sami snapped back, "I think that you are just jealous cause everyone thinks I am cool now and I am center of attention and your NOT!"
"The movie didn't even both you much, didn't it? You're only peeved because everyone kept thinking I was your girlfriend." She pauses. She pauses. "Which is ridiculous considering you wouldn't want a girlfriend?
